There is no "catch up" ability this year.

LOL, I have one somewhere, but that would entail me getting off the couch and looking for it. I can never hear your voice messages over my speakers either, I have no idea why.

I just had a really, fun, back and forth game on AA with everything at default except for all penalites maxed out at 100, Fg power at 5, FG accuracy at 35, and kick off power at 65.

I played Arizona State (ME)-USC) and won in overtime 34-31.

I was down 17-0 initially, and probably would have lost if I didnt force a fumble in OT.

I just play realistic ball: I'll kick a FG or punt on 4th and short, and I'll use virtually every play in my defensive playbook.

anyway, I saw a little bit of everything in this game: CPU forced and recovered a fumble, picked me off, I had 2 user picks, and I actually managed 3 sacks.

I think this is the way I'm going to go now. gonna play a couple more play now game on this setting just to see if it was a fluke or not and finally start a offline dynasty.

The game IS fun but for what it should/could be negates that at some levels. The bleh..from me was for using the game in a dynasty where at the current state it is crippled. For example, why spend ANY recruiting points on DL when right now it doesn't matter who you have? Legend mode is where I'll be playing the game until issues are fixed.

Burnout is great fun, but what if it didn't have more than 1 level/map or the damage was exactly the same for every wreck.
Fun-yes, reason to keep playing it-No.

I know, im just giving you a hard time. Comments like that seems to be the majority of what we hear, but its hard to say at this point whether its having any affect. I enjoy some play now games, but why on Earth should i play as FSU and try to get into my dynasty? As you said, why spend anything on DL?

What sliders are you using?

[JRod]

I play on Heisman with the run ability at 70. I see no speed advantage.

Now it could be I'm looking in the wrong place. Are we taking that 99 CBs can't catch 90 RBs or a 99 RB can't catch a 90 CB?

I have a slow dynasty team and on every breakaway my player was had a better speed rating or was equal too.

I concede the CPU takes some really stupid angles and this causes some of the issues.

There is a 100% clear speed altercation when playing on Heisman with RBA 50+.

Heisman boosts the ratings of players...from the mouth of EA reps on the board. Go into practice, put it on 0, then put it on 100. You should notice an extreme difference.
