Which difficulty are you going to play in College football 25 on day one ?

Re: Difficultly

I dont know. I'll probably start in the middle and work from there. I wish there was a defensive dificulty level and an offensive difficulty level, and a dynamic level. The old NCAAf series, I was Heisman but this aint your fathers NCAAf.

Re: Difficultly

Heisman and cross my fingers the adaptive AI finally makes an EA football game challenging from a strategic standpoint.

One thing killing Madden in recent years is how simple the CPU is. It doesn't adjust to your play calling tendencies. It's clock management skills are nonexistent. It's playcalling logic is quite literally broken.

I've long believed that when playing on Heisman or All Madden it should feel like the equivalent of playing a grand master in chess. I should feel like a real coaching staff is on the other sideline making all the moves.

Hopefully adaptive AI gets us a lot closer to feeling that way in CFB25.

Re: Difficultly

Heisman because it will help the longevity of dynasty.

Re: Difficultly

First game will be on Freshman to ensure a rivalry game win.

Every game after the first 1 or 2 will be on All-American most likely. I'll only move up to Heisman if I find myself consistently winning upset games in Play Now.

You mean real time coaching help cpu play better on offense and defense?

Re: Difficultly

Thinking about switching between two. Going with All American during normal games and then when facing top 25 opponents will bump it up to Heisman.

Re: Difficultly

If it's the same difficulty scaling as Madden and old NCAAs, then All American with custom sliders. Never liked Heisman or All Madden, as it artificially increased the difficulty by nerfing user players instead of making the CPU better at tackling, play rec, coverage, catching, juking, passing, etcetera. I realize it technically is increasing the difficulty by making user players fumble and drop passes more, but if I draft/recruit/sign a player specifically because he has 90+ carrying or 94+ catching or CIT, then I don't want those guys to be fumbling the ball and dropping passes twice every game or even more often in some cases.

Yes I'm hoping the real time coaching engine has the CPU playing better in all 3 phases because it's still one of the bigger weaknesses in Madden.

I believe it was a Mills stream where he said that Heisman will not provide artificial boosts to the CPU in this game. I'm not willing to dig deep enough to verify that so take it as you will, I think it was in the gameplay deep dive stream.

Re: Difficultly

In coach mode I found all American to be the most balanced. Heisman was overpowered for the cpu teams. This is with default sliders.

Re: Difficultly

Whatever the default is. I ain’t that good.

Re: Difficultly

Leaning toward All-American. I feel like that’s where I played mostly from 2004-14. I’ll probably try to find some good sliders, cause I want a challenge but I also don’t want to bang my head on the floor in frustration.

Re: Difficultly

I’ll start with the default varsity since it’s been 11 years and then go from there.

Re: Difficultly

Whichever difficulty level gives the most balanced gameplay. Equally rated level schools are competitive, low rated school vs a high one is a monumental win. Hopefully there’s a setting in this game that exists.
