The return of EA Sports College Football

Hartzog getting downgraded despite 4 (I think) INTs is impressive work by EA.

I mean..Hartzog is pretty bad. I think 79 is a pretty accurate rating for a 5'8-5'9" safety who got picked on by practically every competent offensive coordinator in conference play.

I agree. I've been saying that for years.  I'm just impressed that EA actually downgraged him given that he has several INTs.

 
Stopped playing for awhile after Christmas and picked it up again the last 2 weeks. Overall the game is pretty fun online after updates, but it feels like the outcomes are always predetermined.

As Nebraska, I can throw a deep ball to a guy who has a step against man coverage using the high pass modifier and it's never the same result. In the same game, one time it's a catch, the next it's a pick. Exact same coverage and look. Then there's the fun ones over the middle using the modifier and lofting it but a guy 10 yards underneath sinking in coverage picks it off. But by far the most frustrating is when the computer decides you're not supposed to beat Bama or tOSU and forces fumbles, sacks, drops, or picks when you've been protecting the ball all game and it's one score in the 4th.

But I guess that's all pretty realistic for DoNU

They programmed the curse into the game.

FYI you can use placement and accuracy or the LB feature to lob pass over defenders. Helps for both of what you just talked about.

I do use it. I'm probably not refined enough with it seeing as I still have a lot of habits to breaks from 14 (like I'm still learning to be patient and not hit sprint until I'm in the open field), but the fact that sometimes the throw works out makes me scratch my head.

I’m sure in some ways it imitates real life. But sometimes it is damn nuts. 

 
Sure, this is pretty much the standard annual cycle. But five bucks ain't much to pay, if you just wanna try it out or something.

 
Since the last update I feel like things have gotten pretty leveled out online, and it's really fun. I've only been playing as NU and can beat or hang with any team but Bama. The only way I win against them is if my opponent sucks a$$. 

I can throw perfect passes or drop into coverages at the right time, but it's like everything is predetermined to f#&% me over. WRs drop easy throws, screens are blown up 100% of the time, RBs randomly fumble, the CB doesn't freeze on jet sweeps, INTs with no WR around are dropped, defenders take horrible angles or just whiff on user tackles that should be no issue, and that RB turns into a pinball where no one can bring him down... Even when I get a 3rd and long, here comes Milroe... It's like the game just gives me the double bird  :lol:

Oh, so the game acts just like the real team.
