CPU still never mass subs *sigh*

[BDawg35]

I took a year off from playing NCAA because it was hard to play a video game without a console.

So, I play my first dynasty game in more than a year last night. Of course, I use a crappy team and expect to get pounded. I indeed get pounded, which is cool, since it makes it more rewarding when/if I eventually turn it around.

The disappointing part is that well into the PS3/360 generation now, EA still doesn't have the CPU mass-sub in blowout games, a feature that was in the PS2/XBox version of the game. It's very frustrating when you're getting your butt kicked and the opposing running back seems to break the school record every time because he's getting junk carries late in a game, often against my backups, since I do indeed mass sub.

The CPU also throws the ball on first down in blowout games, too. Mind you, I wasn't playing a Steve Spurrier-coached team either.

A lot of running backs and quarterbacks are going to be licking their cyber chops to play my team this season with that kind of coaching.

I've been irritated by this as well on next-gen. This coaching logic needs to be in the game.

Hey dawg, nice to see you. You posting a Dynasty this year? I always enjoyed reading your shiz.

Anyway, add that to the list of things that EA has left out from the old version.

I always liked the NCAA infractions thing that they left out and how you could lose good players not even to injury but because they were being bad. And then having the option to play Urban Meyer and suspend the guy for a half.

I would be nice to see teams replace their starters during a blowout and it would also be cool if teams pulled a quarterback if he was sucking it up out there. Maybe next year.

I thought that was a cool feature too, except that it seemed like it was always my 4 or 5 best players who were acting up, even if they had A-rated behavior. And always before a huge game. lol

Re: CPU still never mass subs *sigh*

Hoping to post a dynasty, but three games into this one it's been nothing but total frustration. Don't mind getting my butt kicked - that's the fun of starting out with a D-rated team. Every running back I've played has gotten junk yards and touchdowns in the final minutes. I'm using some AA sliders I found over here. I'm convinced you need to be a stick magician for them to work. Will be tweaking, but that will mean nothing if the CPU keeps leaving its running back in the game to get 250, 300 yards and 4-5 touchdowns against my sorry D.

Yeah, I feel your pain... John Clay just destroyed me when I first got the game for 295 yards in a blowout.

I don't know if you have been reading about some of the issues with recruiting but your frustrations might get much deeper when you see the recruits ratings in your cupcake dynasty. It's going to be much, much harder for you to bring a cupcake back up. If not impossible with realistic settings unless EA patches 3-2-1 * recruit ratings.

That being said, this could be a good year to run with a BCS conference team. Maybe a little Michigan action this year? Or Sparty!

Re: CPU still never mass subs *sigh*

I had something strange happen to me yesterday. I was playing against Notre Dame on Heisman with 8 minute quarters. It wasn't close at all. I throw a TD and go up 41-13 with just under 6 minutes left in the 4th. The next series I come out and my QB has disappeared. I thought he got hurt on a play and I just missed it. It took me a few snaps to notice, but I see that my entire offense is second teamers.

The computer mass subbed out my entire offense for me. Has this happened to anyone else?

Dear BDawg,

Please grace NCAA dynasty-lovers everywhere with your presence and another kick-arse dynasty report. I shamelessly miss the Cheeze-its, the Wallace Stone's, and **** Natty Title runs with the Commodores.

I found DeeGeezy's link to his newest report on '11--it's like being back at MM! I'm sure there would be plenty of readers at Utopia--some good reports there as well.

For the record, I was never a big part of MM, but read all your stuff and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. If nothing else is there somewhere on the net where we can get nostalgic and read the old ones?

For the record I'd love to follow a BDizzle 'nasty again. Hope you find some good in this year's game, it plays pretty well once you get some decent sliders (I'd recommend Playmaker's varsity sliders--varsity may hurt your street cred but the game plays really well with them and you get a good dose of getting your tail kicked when your supposed to).

Take care BDizzle hope everything is going well!

I have too.

Happened to me before too but I figured out that when I super-sim the XP or kickoff the CPU does it then.

Re: CPU still never mass subs *sigh*

Yeah I thought I was going crazy but I could have sworn that I saw a team Mass Sub in my dynasty as well towards the end of the game.

I wonder what exactly triggers it?

Re: CPU still never mass subs *sigh*

Yep, they do. I was beating the cr@p out of ECU and they threw in the towel and mass subbed. Also, when Clemson was handing it to me, they did it as well.

Re: CPU still never mass subs *sigh*

I've seen the CPU mass sub, but you'll only hear the stadium announcer say, "In at quarterback, #12,,,"
