Cost of everything is going up and it's only going to get worse it just took some time to hit the average person.

In my Bears franchise Grady Jarrett just set the NFL record for sacks at 23 with 3 games left in the season. I stopped controlling the DT's about 3 weeks in because it is too easy to get sacks so they were mainly just him being controlled by the AI.

Not for the PC version yet which is odd because there is usually a day one patch

Yeah the day 1 patch could really ruin what's been an enjoyable game with that said a few tweaks would certainly improve the game.

My wish list of fixes based on what I see

1. QB Accuracy is way to high, seldom see the AI overthrow or be inaccurate. Most incompletions come from drops of the ball ...

I don't know who Softdrink TV is but if they gave this game a 3 out of 10 I'll never take the time to find out.

Going to be interesting to see what the day 1 patch does tomorrow.

After playing those horrible game yesterday I probably had one of the best Madden games I've ever played.

Bears at Ravens.

Opening drive I move down field but stall and get bailed out my a roughing the punter (way too many of these) I end up scoring on an 11 play 8 minute drive. 7-0

Ravens 2nd ...

Today has been weird, I've played dozens of games and today I had terrible games.

Detroit beat me 43-7, didn't matter what I called on D they just ran by me and threw deep routes my guys couldn't even stay with them while on the flip side they were blanketed on my receivers magically dropping out ...

It's weird there is not a wear & tear substitution setting like there is in CFB.

Switched to All pro and games are much better.

I'm very much enjoying it, locking the game at 60fps on my PC and it plays smoothly.

I LOVE that in the skills trainer they had a drill for every new mechanic. The Pylon throw is a great tool as is the reach with the ball. Block steering and disengaging on the D-line make it fun to play at one of ...

Played a few games on the PC, busy day so have to be brief.

- Movement is not as fluid, momentum plays a big factor. Competitive guys are going top explode with complaints.
- Graphics on the PC at least are unreal. Really impressed with the look of the game.
- Rating seem to matter, couldn't run a ...

In that WR / DB situation I honestly just switch to them but make sure my hand isn't on the control stick and I just time the press usually Y or A on the Xbox. It's when I take control and I'm still moving the stick where I have issues.

Don't know if that will help but that is what I do.

What teams are you playing with?

As Michigan my OL is really good, they do get beat from time to time but I rarely see someone not picked up unless it is a blitz, I feel like I have the right amount of time in the pocket. Now a lot of Michigan's pass plays, at least the one I call already have the ...

This is totally unrelated but when did MS remove the ability to see your captures in the Xbox App? I used to be able to see them and download them. Now I need to use 3rd party sites.


You still can. check your captures are being uploaded to the xbox network.


They are because I can seem them ...

The "lightning circles" means their abilities are leveling up to the next tier. Basically, they're getting better when they're green flashes.suck some plays, but with UAB even against FCS schools, they're completely missing blocks half the time in running plays.


Thanks, I wish there was a list ...

I've played 4 games post patch and I have no idea what anyone is talking about. I don't see any crazy INT's, I'm actually seeing more contested passes end up incomplete more than anything else.

I'm still at a loss on learning everything. For example in my last game I was running pretty successfully ...

This was a crazy play

Sorry don't know how to embed videos here.

Middle class 20 years olds still living with their parents might be worse :)

Regardless of what I call them if there is a group as you say arguing the point a DB/LB should be able to make a play on the ball without seeing it, I find that ludicrous. I can't even come up with a good example of using ...

Is that bad? I mean, that's how DBs and LBs are coached. I've completed some that still don't turn their head, and swat aimlessly at air.


If the biggest gripe of that crowd is it sucks players need to see the ball to make a play on it then what are we even talking about. It's honestly the ...

I just wish I could figure out the pass protections a little better. I've really started to have excellent results with setting the Mike on running plays, and I get the basics of your protection working out from the ID'd Mike in pass pro...but my God, it feels like a lot of times I'm getting ...

There was also an update when I booted up this afternoon but I have no idea what it does. I did see some pregame graphics in Dynasty I hadn't seen before.

I'll wait until this game goes on a fairly significant sale and keep CFB 25 to tide me over. But that's more of an byproduct of me being a cheap f*ck, not that this game hasn't improved.


It's improved for sure - but definitely not $70 improved. I'll be sticking with 25 after the 10 hour trial ...

going to start dynasty because that's probably where you'll notice all the changes for this year.

but if you're a casual CFB gamer and really don't do recuriting and all the other stuff and just play the games, you may just want to stick w/ cfb25. Especially if you have it thru Gamepass/EA Play ...

There is a key to guess pass/run, but it's a little different than it was before. I think it was like RB/R1 and then the sticks.

It also has route commit, so you can have your secondary jump out routes.

It really does give you every tool in the toolbox...just have to figure out when to deploy ...

FYI for those who don't know you can call defensive line stunts. I don't see anywhere in the game it tells you how but on the Xbox it can be done in one of 2 ways.

On the play call screen hold down the play your choosing button and a small menu of stunts comes up. Use the d-pad to select and then ...
