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 their archetypes too. 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: Since this post two more things are completely broken in this game. The plays your coach calls in RTG is completely broken. Coaches often call run plays on something like a 3rd and 8 when you are down and only have a small amount of time left in the 4th quarter. The play calls are actively losing games because there is ZERO logic. This is quite frankly pathetic. No audibles is also a joke.

The second bug is frequency of scrambling QB fumbles. In college there are multiple programs that heavily run the QB. In this game if you do this you will average 2+ fumbles a game even with high rushing attributes. It’s simply broken. The developers needs to decide if this is madden or a separate game because this is not realistic to college football. I do not care AT ALL about ultimate team. QB play should not be nerfed so that ultimate team players complain about mobile QB’s less.

this game mode is just completely ruined by so many things it’s simply unplayable in regards to gameplay, gameplay logic, progression and bugs.

It has been weeks and there has been ZERO mention of RTG in any dialogue regarding future updates.

THE GAME MODE IS BROKEN

blocking is also now hilariously broken after the new update

I also agree with this. RTG needs some fine tuning especially to speed. This impacts CB and HB the most especially when your starting at 84 speed. EA please fix this cause the game is great.

By far, the most annoying thing is fighting your way to a 1st string player, and then getting WAY less snaps than both 2nd and 3rd string players at the same position. I chose to play the HB position, and in my second year, I became the starter by game 3. Almost every game that season, I received 5-7 rushes, while my 2nd and 3rd string teammates received 15-20 and 7-10 rushes, respectively. It’s like my player rating (which is currently lower than both the 2nd and 3rd string players) matters much more than the depth chart. Also, my current coach’s confidence score is more than 23,000. The 2nd string HB’s score is 4800 and the 3rd stringer’s is -2000, so not sure why I’m getting so few snaps. It’s extremely odd.

@iBeToxin Sad it’s this way off rip, but if you adjust the stamina slider you won’t get subbed as much.

This worked for one game. The next i played the first play and got subbed for the rest of the first half. Now my team is down 14-0.

Exactly, it’s completely broken. Every single facet of RTG is broken in some way or another.

It’s simply unplayable. You don’t realize how broken it is until you spend a bunch of time in the RTG already. Can’t believe RTG will be this broken for release.

My 5star wr starts off with 86 speed. While my 4 star starts with 88 speed. Plus my wr always has full sleeves on and I can’t take them off 😩

Slower as a 5 star that’s hilarious
