College Football Video Game '25

[ulukinatme]

In my CFB 25 dynasty on All-American, Carr was rated like 96 as a senior but was an INT machine. He (really me) threw like 30 INTs his senior year. The following season, his replacement was a scrambler, only rated about 85, but he only threw about 10 picks. I played 37 dynasty seasons, and never had anyone throw picks like Carr. It was weird. Hopefully it isn't foreshadowing! lol

This might be some Madden mechanics. All things being equal stat wise, some QBs had different throwing motions and for whatever reason even if the accuracy was the same from one QB to the next you'd have one that just seemed to get picked off more often. I think Traits could have a big thing to do with it too, I think some QBs archetypes do better under pressure while others will short arm passes if a DL is bearing down.

One thing that hasn’t changed,… if you pushed the ball down the field the cpu will get picks… if you’re gonna chuck it you have to do so mid range and underneath for the most part, with maybe a couple deep shots a game times right

In my first game last night, Craig was refusing to snap the ball to Carr. CJ started out his first drive with three back-to-back delays of game. It’s clear that Carr is not the QB that the rest of the team wants!!

Flashbacks to BK days when we'd start games with a Delay of Game.

Don't get too cocky, we have the same OC. Delay of game coming out of a commercial was a Denbrock special.

In the Orange Bowl against PSU we started the 2nd half with a Delay of Game.

In general I feel like ND has stepped up the production of night games since they first started having them, big time. My son won't sit through a football game on TV, but we had a blast for Florida State last year.

My buddy and I are gonna be at USC this year. Hes pumped to see what "big boy" football looks like

In dynasty mode I would recommend lowering the sliders for transfer probability. I had Jagusah and Wagner both transfer out after year 1 due to “lack of playing time” even thought they both started every game.

First online game I play this year - draw LSU...my first play I run Love for 3 yards then I run a corner route for Greathouse...makes the play big catch 46 yards...wait, called back because A. Craig was an illegal man down field...what!? Work my way down the field in the Red Zone - run a drag to Eli Raridon he catches it is running free and just randomly drops/kicks the ball and it just sits there spinning before LSU recovers. Fun.

Be prepared to hear Fight On if/when USC scores a point, if/when they get a turnover, when there's a TV timeout, when their QB picks his nose, and any down ending in "st," "nd," "rd," or "th." Their band lacks talent, but they at least know how to play that fight song...and they let you know it.

Nice job, EA!

I agree ND has stepped it up to make the night games feel chaotic. The light show is pretty good and they've recently added fireworks. I can't wait to see what they do for A&M and USC this year. I don't think Navy will be has hectic.

I don't know what the experience is like on OSU's campus before a game, but I like the game times at ND, there are so many fans that take in the Notre Dame gameday experience.

One week in and my biggest cosmetic complaint is the weather. I’m in year 7 of dynasty and 3 out of 5 games are rain games,… I’ve yet to see snow. They REALLY need to let us just pick the weather ourselves in dynasty

 

[ulukinatme]

What a hit!

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

This game looks like a total mess.

Looks like that Canadian golfer that got his ass kicked

Btw,… Power I is super fun and op this year

 

[IrishSpartan]

Finally got it and all I wanna know is wtf is up with the roster?

So I have found 2 things- you can throw the ball deep to Malachi Fields and he is catching it if it's 1 on 1 coverage no matter how contested

He's also very injury prone in the game.

 

[ACamp1900]

I love the custom playbook stuff. I suppose the play rating system was there last year but I never used it. Build your own playbook, rate each play according to situation and then use coach suggestions as though it’s you OC sending in plays,… it takes a while to rate but damn, it makes it feel more authentic and real

 

[IrishBoognish]

Maybe I should put this in the "What Grinds Your Gears" thread, but I hate this isn't out on PC

I mean, come on!

I want to play so bad, but I'm not buying a whole ass console for one game.

PSU offense is fun they have TE @ QB formations that Warren ran last year

In my Dynasty, I played against Michigan and the game decided to go glitch crazy.
I play on Heisman level, so every little thing can determine the outcome.
The game decided to switch my autosubs & wouldn’t let me change them back to default, no matter how many times I tried. So Love only played the 1st Q, Price the 2nd, Williams the 3rd, & Payne the 4th.
Then the playclock would just speed up as if I was trying to run it out, and give me delay of game penalties over & over.
And my OL would shift without me telling it to & would let edge rushers to come straight in the backfield.
0-0 score and of course they block my short FG attempt, since my line didn’t block the edge. And then they hit a 62 yard FG.
They stop me on QB sneaks on the 1 somehow, 3 times in a row, but I get a Safety on them. 3-2 score. Then I finally just run a trick play and heave it down to Greathouse for a TD. I win 8-3.
But the game was almost unplayable. I couldn’t sub, I played the entire second half with 2nd to 4th stringers. The game kept speeding the clock up as if I was taking a knee, & my OL was not blocking the edges.

I’m finding this years game is a bit too easy, at least against the cpu, I’m sure I’d get smashed online.

Later today I’m gonna mess with sliders to try and make it harder without making it cheese. On Heisman I won three nattys with UTEP in eight years and would have most likely won two more but was kept out of the playoff all together for ‘reasons’ even though ranking and record should easily have put me in. The first title I won in year three before I even built up the roster much. So I take the ND job in year 9 and immediately win the natty blowing away everyone. I actually miss the strange ‘wtf’ games where the cpu would just play unbeatable last year just to give you an odd loss here and there. Anyway, I’ll look for good Heisman slider sets today and report back. I do know many here who play dynasty often will eventually find the same problem
