Re: Road To Glory Is Completely Broken

The Road To Glory experience is completely bugged. Archetypes for each position make no sense. An Improvisor QB can somehow upgrade speed fully but a Scrambler QB cannot. An Elusive RB starts out with 84 speed if 5 star. This makes no sense. Their speed rating should start at 89-90 and other stats should be lower. Just like fast 5 star prospects in Dynasty. Prospects with 4.3-4.5 speed come out of high school all the time in real life. 84 speed for a 5 star freshman elusive back is completely unrealistic. I’m sure other positions have weird stats that don’t make sense for its archetypes either. It’s like the archetypes were given the wrong stats or the stats of another archetype.

Skill points often appear to be gained but in fact you do not receive any skill points. This is a very common bug and makes progression basically impossible or very slow. I am only 82 OVR after 2 years. This is broken. 

Gaining skill points should be based on performance not spamming training. You simply do not have the ability to upkeep anything else unless you only want to gain 1-2 overall a year. If I am a freshman RB leading the nation in Rushing yards my progression should be faster instead of needing to rely on “training”. 

Certain positions like RB and CB are unplayable. CB starting speed even at 5 star is so slow you cannot play like a CB. Playing as RB you are subbed off literally every other play regardless of stamina or health issues. I was leading the NCAA in rushing yards but only had around 4td’s because you are ALWAYS subbed off in the red zone after you’ve worked so hard to get there.

As RB the game constantly takes you out during crucial moments in the game and then will sim a loss for you. I was once up by 21 points and was subbed off the entire 4th qtr to of course lose because of the sim and I was not injured or tired. Never put me back in. RB is unplayable with how often it subs you out. 

Wear and tear is completely broken for positions that are more physical than QB. I can completely invest in health and by halftime of the next game I am already highly risking injury. This needs to be nerfed extensively for physical positions.

The transfer portal does not show your true position on the depth chart. I joined USC my sophomore year as a starter but once I joined there were two 95+ RB’s above me on the depth chart.

Skill progression points are completely broken. I am a 5 star elusive RB. Why do I start with 84 speed and it takes 11 skill points to upgrade my speed to 86. It would genuinely take 3 years of only upgrading speed to reach 90+ speed without upgrading anything else.

Please fix this game mode it is unplayable.

EDIT: This was posted twice ffs because EA's site is completely useless on mobile.

  • Completely agree with the OP and the comments. Another thing I noticed is that they also get my overall completely wrong. I started as underdog as a level 60 but after getting up to 70 I started noticing in one area it had me as 70 on the Home Screen but in game and on the charts it has me still at 69. I

    The coaching decisions in RTG are completely broken. I know the game is supposed to be difficult but when I lead a drive to the 15 down by 2 and I get subbed out and somehow lose the game by not attempting a field goal it renders the whole mode unplayable. You should be rewarded for playing well or at least show me that my kicker just missed! Instead a miracle occurs where no field goal was attempted and no turnover occurred but the clock magically ran out once I was subbed out. 

  • You're exactly right, I feel like I am already done with this game and its only been a couple months. Another thing I'd like to point is that the player models are straight out of madden, and to be honest i think they looked horrible, the shoulders are too wide on players and makes them look quite stupid. Really hard to think about how I waited for this game for a long time. I don't know why I expected anything different from EA. (Road to Glory and Dynasty player) (screw their online microtransaction bs)
