So I'm play'n my dynasty, undefeated so far, on Heisman level, with no adjustment to the sliders or schedule.

Ranked # 3 and play'n # 14 Texas.

Win the toss and score a TD on the 1st drive.

Texas throws a pic 6. Game 14-0

Texas drives before the half gets a FG.

2nd half Texas drives and scores a TD.

I throw a pic and Texas converts a TD.

I throw another pic and hold them to a FG.

4th QTR I drive leaving only 20 seconds and score a TD. Score 21-20.

Texas throws a bubble pass for 15yds calls TO, I'm in quarters prevent. Texas throws a hailmary to the 20 with 3 defenders around him with 4 seconds remaining and calls a TO then kicks the FG for the win.

WTF Mother F____r I'm p____d !

I take my medicine and play on.

Now ranked # 9.

I'm in a dynasty online that is on Heisman difficulty. They should call it computer intervention difficulty for all the stupid crap that goes on. 5 holding penalties on 3rd down plays that result in first downs? Superhuman offensive blocking? I had no sacks against Western Kentucky with Nebraska. Inability to hold on to passes (me) or drop them (computer)? It's just ridiculous.

Yeah I just lost to Okie State in the last seconds on another hailmary !

It's rigged. Computer cheats.

I just had the strangest glitch encounter today. I was playing some guy online and every time he would drop back to pass my defense would blitz regardless of what the play was. So over and over again he was able to hit wide open guys all the way down the field for a TD, and it was only happening with my defense not his. It really sucks cause I was kicking his a$$ too. Has anyone else seen this yet or was he doing something to make this to happen?

interesting, what was his gamer account- more interested in his record I guess... I would think something like that would be more of a MOD chip, manipulating the game- rather than an actual game play glitch.

I can't remember, I wasn't sure at the time if he was causing it but then it happened again later that night. I quit before halftime both times so they didn't get a win anyway. I tried calling them out but they wouldn't respond....That's pretty pathetic though, what's the point of playing football online if you're not going to play football? Sounds like a waste of time to me.

Some people just have to win no matter what the costs. Apparently, they weren't taught humility when they were a child, or the fact that sometimes you just lose.

Just finished my first season going 14-0. Big XII Championship game was #1 Oklahoma vs #2 Nebraska....Lee played like garbage all day, to the tune of something like 13-29 with 4 picks. Score was 10-3 Oklahoma with 2:33 left in the 4th quarter and I had the ball 4th and 1. Called a HB blast or something, saw that there was no safety help and they were playing bump coverage, so I audibled and went over the top to Brandon Kinnie for 41 yards. Next play, Lee redeems himself by stepping up in the pocket, seeing nothing open, tucking it down and running 28 yards, barreling into the endzone to tie the game.

They get the ball back and I get a 3 and out. 3rd and 1 with 26 seconds left from their 41 yard line. Once again, no safety help so I audible out and send Niles Paul streaking downfield and throw it up to him. He's got his defender beat and dives (I mean, legitimate full body extension here) into the endzone to make the catch and put me up a score. Amazing game.

I have never have a successful diving catch in this game. I miss 09, when you could be 3rd and goal throw it up to the back of the endzone and the reciever would come down with it in a one handed catch.

I think I have had a few.

My biggest problem is that the corners always seem to be faster than my receivers, even if I'm playing a lowly WAC or Sun Belt team. It's not very often that the deep ball works for me.

@ huskerjock what in the hell happend to them!? Im also playing a dynasty and Zac Lee was injured in the second game and has been out for almost 7 weeks. But Roy helu and Rex Burkhead are my 2 go to players on offense, with Helu being the front runner for the heisman trophy!

Give EA a little to make some patches/updates and this will be one of the best football games (if not the best football game) of all time. It has that potential.

I don't think so, Locomotion isn't a real physics engine. Until Ea implements a quality physics engine they will continue to disappoint every year, and seeing as they're showing no signs of making such a move they will probably ride this locomotion crap for the next 2 or 3 years before something exciting happens again. Gotta love monopolies.

I agree completely. This is easily in the top worst games of NCAA football ever. the locomotion physics are a joke and just about everything else about this game is horrible. I think we should seriously organize and get a petition for open competition on the college football video game industry front. It is time to stop this stupid bs- at this point- they are just collecting a pay check and we can't do anything about it.

Sorry, but I disagree. For the most part, it is a step in the right direction. If you prefer the old engine and it's non-realistic concepts, then by all means, return to it. But, with the exception of the passing game issues, the locomotion is much better than anything EA has put out so far.

It's clearly not perfect, nor should it stay entirely how it is. But, it is a step in the right direction. It can be improved upon, and there are many video game experts that have been praising it's innovations, more-so than the ones degrading it.

There are other companies that could probably do a much better job. But, as you pointed out, they don't have the rights to it, so no alternatives exist right now.

I would love more than anything to have a better gaming company pick it up, but as I said, that's not going to happen at this time. For EA and the game, this was a step in the right direction.

I can't remember off hand what their injuries were but all I know is that both Helu and Crick are out for the season and I'm stuck with Rex and Robinson. I just hope that this game has medical redshirts for situations like this one. I played last night and Rex was tearing it up against Washington and then in the second quarter he goes down and hes done for the game. Injuries in this game happen to often and majority of the time its just minor stuff but I got hit hard the first game with Helu and Crick. I ended up turning injuries off just because it seems like every game I lose 3-4 players with minor injuries and 1 for a major injury and he'll be out for the game or a few weeks.

Yeah I just lost to Okie State in the last seconds on another hailmary !

It's rigged. Computer cheats.

Is it just me or does the AI intercept almost everything you throw? I've had Dennard, Fisher, Compton, Prince, Gomes all most pick off the QB's passes that were literly in their freakin hands.

I would agree with you on that, the computer will literally screw you. I was playing against Washington last night and I forgot to pick Alabama's offense because of their wildcat and their other running formations but instead I'm stuck with Nebraskas playbook :facepalm: but I decide to stick it out....bad idea.

First play for Washington Locker does a playaction and Moore sacks him but Locker loses the football and Steinkuhler picks it up and takes it 12-15 yards for a TD. I'm off to a great start until I get to offense. I'm running all over them with Rex so then I decide to switch it up and throw the ball and I connected to Niles Paul for a 32 yard TD, 14-0. Washingtons next position the literally drive it down my throat and I can't do anything on defense to stop them not even blitzs were helping me. They ended up getting a field goal, 14-3. The score stays like that going into halftime because my running game went downhill and Lee threw 2 picks. Needless to say Washington ran all over me in the 2nd half to beat me 19-14 because Lee throws another pick so I bench him and Green throws a pick too and my running game wasn't working after Rex got injuried and was out for the game.

I quit the game and I was fuming because A) I didn't have Alabamas playbook to start with and B.) They litterly came back on my a$$ and I couldn't do a thing about it.

Needless to say I picked Alabama's offense and replayed the game and kicked the s*** out of Washington 41-10 and Rex racked up 250+ yards rushing with 4 TD's, 3 rushing TD's and 1 reception TD and Robinson had 150+ rushing with 1 TD. Meredith had 3 sacks (2 of them came from me), May had a sack that I caused, Prince had a INT as well as Fisher.

I expect them to release some new updates in the coming weeks. I've seen a lot of people complaining about the game is going, even on some purely gaming forums.

Auto saving in this game is a very nice feature until................I decided to simulate a game against Iowa and ended up losing 24-31 in OT so now I jumped from #2 to #9. I didn't know that once you simulated a game it would auto save....looks like I found out the hard way. I still have a chance to beat #2 Wisconsin right after I beat Illinois.

Before I simulated the Iowa game I beat Penn St. 20-7 and I only had 59 rushing yards and Penn St. only had 53. It was a very defensive game and I really enjoyed playing that game.

I hope they get some updates out here within the next 2 weeks or so but this game is so sick and addicting....kinda glad that my wife has to work at 6 tonight so I can eat some ice cream and drink some Coors Light while playing this game :lol:

There are a few errors on this game but nothing to keep me away from playing it. I said that I'd post some pictures yesterday but didn't have time since my In-laws didn't leave my house till 9:45 last night. I'm gonna turn up my interception tonight a little bit because its still at 50 and there is no reason some of my players can't catch the ball when its just them and the ball and nobody within 5-10 yards from them. Seems like Prince is the only one that can catch a freakin pass.

Has anybody noticed that if you call certian plays, I only know one for sure, the Play Action Screen play in our playbook, that the QB will fake the hand off and then proceed to march 20 yards backwards before you can take control of him? I've had this happen to me and seen the CPU do it. Very very annoying glitch... learned that the hard way. Called that PA Screen once and once only.
