Theres tons of ways the game is broken like this. For example, with a team that is a 52 overall I can lose to #1 Alabama 38-28 (would have been three point loss if not for a late pic...maybe even a win), then I get blown out by Arkansas State.
With a 63 overall team I beat FAU 27-13...realistic. Then I win two weeks later 77-24 against North Texas who is 20 points better than me. I had to make sure I didn't accidentally change it to "freshman."
The game picks and chooses when to be difficult, sometimes it feels like player ratings don't matter at all...it just goes "nah you deserve this one, have at it!"
Still love the game though.
