CFB 25 Gameplay
This game is down right horrid. This is the most average EA game ever and yet its still miles ahead of madden 25 which is impressive with how * it is. Now lets get to all the * bugs I have encountered while playing the game. 1. Defensive players are STILL morons, they STILL don't take good angles half the time, they have the most * ai ever, and I have been actively seeing my ai jog in online play and get beat by people with lower speeds consistently. The defensive AI hasn't improved an iota for years but they all genuinely lack common sense. Obviously Corner routes are broken but seriously there is no way to guard these routes with these stupid * AI its common sense for a flat player to help guard corner routes underneath yet they always seem to sit on that hitch or drag or whatever smash concept they run (This is super bad football and will get a highschool coach mad much less a college coach). These coverages are so * broken whether its zone or man your defensive player always gets toasted, to the point I literally got routed by Laremy Tunsil on a skinny post in H2H (its wasn't a skill gap the my safeties were about 10 yards deeper than him in the very back of the endzone (not how you play deep 3rds or quarters idk which coverage it was).I have honestly never seen a corner take outside leverage on a run play, yep that's right THE ONLY JOB A CORNER HAS DURING A RUN PLAY AND NONE OF THEM DO IT, this is why outside runs are so busted, the corners have 0 brains, same with the * O-line. While they were SLIGHTLY improved with a patch they still freeze constantly and are somehow ALWAYS blind to the defender right in front of them. 2. I crashed about 4 times in H2H today and I've been crashing for a week or two as well. 3. Fix receiver blocking PLEASE, they are genuinely better blockers than any lineman in the game, they will take a corner, linebacker, or edge completely out of a play and is a major reason why outside runs are so OP, have you EVER seen a WR hold a block on a corner for 15 seconds straight in a real college game? I sure haven't, partnered with the fact that open field blocking might be THE #1 HARDEST THING for a receiver to do its quite obvious how busted it is. I played a squad H2H game today where my friend's defense 86 ovr by the way got housed 5 times straight in 1 play because of how stupidly broken these outside runs are obvi it was somewhat of a OVR diff but 86 OVR? He even has cards faster than the RB and QB yet it was very impossible for us to even get on screen with this team, all they had to do was run horizontally. 4. Why do you * love these * mobile QBs so * much but this * is ridiculous. It is impossible to stop a qb with 80+ speed (most of them in any game mode tbh) contain doesn't work, qb spy doesn't work nothing * works, FIX IT. 5. The D-Line is a * mess. Interior rushers are way to quick reacting, and edge rushers are way to dumb BALANCE UR STUPID * GAME ITS BEEN 35 * YEARS how do you make a game so unenjoyable god dammit. Play actions has not been possible in any online mode or difficulty over all American since launch SINCE * LAUNCH. 6. RTG has been broken since launch with bugs and *, WHY DO YOU USE COACH TRUST AS A WAY TO MOVE UP THE ROSTER BUT OVERALL TO SET STARTING ROSTERS, this is the dumbest * * ever I don't transfer I have a 20k trust lead but I get sent down to * 4th string cause I started under a 4 star, also i'm fairly certain you can only earn 1 skill point a game, no matter the stat or difficulty or xp gained and it DEFINITLY still shows more xp gain than you get, which has been a bug since day 1. 7. Finally we get to maybe the most broken part of the game, kickoffs. HOLY * * how is the kickoff AI so terribly coded it is genuinely the easiest house call ever, if you just wiggle back and forth the red sea * parts like you are god damn Moses, users can't fix it, AI is too stupid to stop it it truly is the most irritating * ever. PLEASE FIX THIS * GAME EA madden is so * horrible this year I wouldn't blame yall for just scrapping that * and locking in on CFB to at least make it somewhat playable PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
