Re: Season 7 Offline...WOW!

Part of the problem is the bloated ratings. Before I ended my dynasty in year six there were a ton of players over 90 on the top tier teams. EA needs to seriously stretch the ratings so there aren't a bunch of all star teams. Each one of the CPU teams (aside from Boise State and maybe OU) should have at least one loss given their opponents.

I agree. The way the game is set up, it's usually just the team with the better players that win, although in real life a lot of it has to do with the system. For example, Texas Tech never gets any of the top recruits, but under Mike Leach they were always good because of their system. Boise doesn't get many top recruits either but they seem to do pretty well. Meanwhile you have teams like Texas this year () who had an absolutely all star recruiting class, but had a horrible year. Showing the overall ratings or even the letter grades of recruits shouldn't translate exactly to what type of player they end up being.

Re: Season 7 Offline...WOW!

*UPDATE*

The above 6 teams ended 12-0 going into conference championships...in which only 3 have.

Oklahoma will play me (Cyclones)
Alabama will have a rematch against Florida

So in order to even have a chance, I will have to beat Oklahoma, Florida will have to upset Alabama and the polls will have to make me jump Penn St or USC... *sigh*

This has been happening for years. I always have multiple undefeated teams.

2 USC 11-0 (#19 Arizona St, #16 Notre Dame)
3 Penn St 10-0 (#14 Michigan, #15 Iowa)
4 Oklahoma 11-0 (#12 Texas)
5 CYCLONES 11-0 (#16 Notre Dame, #15 Iowa, #22 Mizzou)
6 Boise St 10-0 (NONE)

Penn St has #11 Pitt to play still. I need them to lose that. I need Alabama to lose their conference championship and I need to beat Oklahoma in mine...to be in the Top 2.

Right about now, I wish there was a tournament added in because this would be such a mess in real life. I purposely added Notre Dame to my schedule knowing that my team was good this season and I had a weak in conference schedule.

Maybe I can get a split championship somehow
Just wait. It gets much worse (or, rather, stays the same).

Oh yeah, I know... I just didn't think it was THIS bad I guess.

There is only one undefeated team in the nation, 12-0 Penn State, who won last year's national title with an undefeated record as well. My team, Tulane, is 12-1.
It took me 15 seasons to finally make it to a National Title game, and I only made it because I edited my schedule into something ridiculously unrealistic. The biggest problem in my dynasty is that Cincinatti became a 6 star team from dominating the Big East, and that allows them to steal a lot of OSUs recruits which has allowed Penn State to dominate the Big Ten. I think I'm the only team to beat Penn State in the last 4-5 years

Which is why I wish the CPU would invite other teams into bigger conferences (besides just the user teams) and the teams that fell would be kicked out
