Yeah it could just be coincidence. Normal fumbles by the RB and WR/TE are good, 3 or 4 were from my QB getting drilled in the pocket and I had one really costly one as I went into Death Valley as Boston College and my QB got hurt so I had to bring in the undersized backup. We were mounting a comeback so I couldn't use him to slide on the read option, just had to hold onto the ball with R1 and he got lit the f up lmao
But yeah I like these sliders because the game feels more realistic. The QB's miss throws from time to time, pass catchers drop sometimes. The run game feels more realistic, and the challenge feels appropriate for the team I'm playing
I picked Boston College and started off thumping an FCS team and then Wake Forest. Lost a close one at USC, had some costly turnovers but the defense couldn't stop them so I lost 34-41. Next week I'm demolished by FSU and Dalvin Cook. Then the following week Army started off hot scoring in 4 running plays, and it was kind of cool because it seemed like my players literally started to adjust and we shut them down.
Next week I head to Death Valley facing Deshaun Watson and the opening kickoff I return it for a TD! From there Clemson scores and my QB Towles is knocked out of the game. My undersized backup came in who has some speed put us up 14-7, but from there we couldn't stop Clemson and ended up losing 34-24.
I was 3-3 at that point and headed to Chapel Hill. It was a grind of a game as both sides struggled. I thought I was done as Trubisky runs a 45 yd TD, but with a defensive stop and a well executed drive the Eagles tied the game with 5 remaining. As a first year Head Coach I needed a marquee victory so I went for 2 and got it! The Eagles are 4-3 now and are poised for a bowl game and stay hot on the recruiting trail
Having so much fun with these
