Re: Meltdown: EA time to Overhaul....
I agree whole-heartedly...Its gets beyond frustrating at times, cause you will have a good close game then all of a sudden one of in not a few of the games issues will rear thier ugly head and all of a sudden its not even close...do ratings even matter. Here is my list of problems, I'm sure most have been said already somewhere, but instead of looking through thousands of posts I'll just throw em out here...
Errant passes..It seems unless my QB is just awful, he is always pinpoint. It seems its either complete, dropped or Intercepted..need overthrows,underthrows, off target throws are not very prevalent in this game....
need an option rating...I hate seeing a pocket passer running option just as well as Tommy Frazier, If I'm playing an option based team and that QB gets injured, his replacement should not do just as well...Look at Oregon after Dixon
Get rid of eyes in back of head...Don't gimmie that "Well maybe they yelled pass" excuse. I hear that and just get irritated..I imagine a defender yelling pass then I see a guy just blindly jumping & flailing about, cause thats about what is happening, only on NCAA they know exactly the trajectory & timing perfect Every time...Watch a Game guys, odds of that happening is very rare.
Blitzing properly.. I watch my OL get burned easily sometimes with a simple 4 man rush, yet I bring 7-8 guys & the CPU still gets enough time to get pass off.I cannot stand when CPU takes wide angle on my tackle & he just spins around and don't block anyone.
JTS. Please get rid of it or atleast let us turn it off. Its not as bad as last year but w/o being able to let my own lineman know the snapcount its extremely one sided.
physics..I cannot stand when I see a Doug Flutie sized QB stiff arm my All-American LB to the ground or a Warrick Dunn type RB run guys over...Yet my 6'3" -275lb RB will get hit backwards by a CB...Those are extreme examples, but you get the point, It gets irritating.
Like was said DL play..If your a 90+ rated or a 45- rated DL it don't matter they play the same, thats why I said do ratings even matter??..Maybe I wanna play as a DE and try to cause matchup problems or just try to Dominate the T.In this game I cannot cause havoc regularly with a great DL...Why take that out of my control.If I play good let me dominate, If I play bad let me get Dominated...Right now I can play 5 plays and let the CPU AI take contol for 5 plays and then let a 5 yr old play for 5 plays and you really won't be able to tell who did what when.
Sliders that actually Matter, I've been on that for years...If I put pass & run block at 0 for the CPU & Break Block at 100 for me, I should Completely dominate the LOS, not how this game works...Some sliders work well, others not so much...If I have Int at 0 that means that even if in perfect position & pefrect timing & reaction there is no way I can intercept that ball.
Penalties. I can't believe it but I would like to see some penalties from time to time. some penalties are because of lack of talent(Holding, PI) some are lack of discipline(Roughing Passer/kicker) ans some are just bad luck(facemask) but there are hardly any penalties in this game. would like them implemented properly though, I hated on last gen when that mysterious holding penalty on a guy who just wandered around cause the slider was moved up.
Presentation. Wow this area is waaaay behind the times. Stat overlays, pre-& post game shows,halftime analysis. Weekly wrap up shows...Pre season predictions ..Award shows...Heisman trohpy presentation with the finalists..You have the ESPN License, yet all we get are 2minute radio updates that repeat constantly for about an hour and a stupid lil ticker.. Overlays of games ESPNU or ESPN+ for local games..ESPN or ESPN2 for regional games.. ABC for National games... there is so much they could do, yet they just rehash same stuff year in year out.
CPU AI lack of gameplan & ESP in my playcalling...it seems the CPU just randomly calls plays and don't pay attention with what works & don't work. It will be getting 5 ypc yet will run it about 13 times and pass it 44 times even though the QB has 5 int's and is completing it at less than 40%. meanwhile sometimes the CPU just knows what I am gonna call. I will run shotgun 4 wide and pass it 15 straight times. So I figure I'll call SHotgun 4 wide HB Draw to mix it up a lil, when I get to the line I see them in a 4-3. So I either call it and don't get much or audible and have a huge mismatch against the defence. WTF???
Custom playbooks for Dynasty, why isn't that isn't an option is baffling to me?
Dynasty improvements is a must also. I do like the new recruiting, but its needs a lil improvement/refining. Would like option to add 1-AA schools(FPS or whatever they're called now) or atleast CAS...Ability to edit or Build a new stadium & facilities...Same with Academic prestige..make a AD mode, like owner mode for madden. If you take a team like FAU from Sun belt to the SEC or ACC have the conference logo change with that...just make the logo a variable if its that hard...just a lil annoyance when your in SEC yet you have a SUn belt logo on field & stadium holds about 10,000 fans tops. Also make it so I can gain and/or lose Rivals if I change conference.
Add a mode where you work your way up in coaching ranks..kinda like 2k College hoops but a lil different..You can start as HC for a team like FAU or become a coordinator for a good team. But if your a coordinator it will Supersim the other aspect. So you only gotta worry bout offense or Defense depending on your job.. But to get a HC job, your side of ball has to perform well otherwise your a coordinator for life. Add goals depending on the School & position.
thats bout all for now, I can add more later
