Road to Glory as Starting HB Issues (Please Fix)

I have always loved this mode, but as I am nearing the end of my junior year, there are some issues that are so annoying now as to destroy the joy of this great mode (seems worse after the recent update for some reason). Please fix these issues and make this mode awesome.

1. Why is an on fire HB NOT in the game more and WHY is he NOT getting the ball when he is? What's the point of having a game mode and an on fire player if he doesn't impact game play, or even play the game for that matter?

2. HB1 is taken out of the game way too often. In fact, the last game I played, I was taken out after every play for the rest of the drive. *curses and swears* That's like telling people not to play this mode as an HB. Game before that, I had a 40 yard run on the opening play and was taken out until the THIRD quarter (no injury). So stupid! It's like this game is penalizing your for gaining stats/XP points.

3. Injury penalty way to severe on default for only being in the game for 15 plays.

4. Default OL blocking is abysmal. This is compounded by DL/LB coming off their blocks as soon as I receive the handoff. Seriously frustrating!

5. In addition to 4, the entire def seems to know it is a running play at the snap of the ball and head straight toward the HB at the snap. again, seriously frustrating!

6. QB throws into coverage way too often when my HB player is running free.

7. Need a practice mode against a real defense (11 v 11 mode)

8. Where is the trophy room?

9. If the HB calls a play audible, there should be a +50 coaching trust boost if the play is successful. -100 if not.

10. With an all-american, start HB on the team, why are so few running plays being called (in general)?

11. In addition to complaint #2, why is an on fire HB being taking out so often in the red zone? seriously, its like the game does not want you to accumulate stats/xp points.

Many of these issues can be fixed if you could add these two new game options:

1. Team Play-call Setting: <default>, Pass heavy, run heavy, balanced

2. Game Play setting (for all but QB): Coach Override (on/off)

     - When off, game plays as usual

     - When on, user player (in my case HB) stays on the field until a user set stamina is reached (ex. 30%). This would come with increased risk of injury if you play more, but you would be on the field alot more.

  • Follow-up. Seems you can stay on the field ALOT MORE if you set the fatigue setting to 15 from its default. MUCH better experience.
