College football 25 bugs after patch

I have a few major problems with the offense vs defense gameplay. 
1. There are rarely if any pass interference calls on the defense. I’ll have my wide receivers get hit when the ball is in the air before they can catch the ball or they gets held up by a defender when the ball leaves the QB’s hands. And even someone who is brand new to the game’s rules knows that is not legal in real life. So why is it in the game. It takes the realism out of the game and is frustrating to experience. 
2. The catch rate for receivers is beyond laughable. Wide receivers have two maybe three jobs on the field. If they are not blocking the two major jobs are to run the routes and CATCH THE FOOTBALL. I’ll have receivers out run or beat out the CB’s or safeties giving them a window to catch the football. And even though the ball gets thrown perfectly so they can catch the ball. It’s automatically dropped or not even attempted to be caught when the defender hardly taps the player, catches up to them, or even tackles them after they catch the ball. For the number of drops or lack of securing the ball after the catch that I’ve experienced in the game is not realistic. Because I’ve seen decent college wide receivers in real life not drop or secure the ball nearly as much as top rated wide receivers in the game does. I don’t want every throw to be a success because that’s not realistic either. I know in real life there are some hits that players do drop the ball or the ball just bounces out of their hands. No one is perfect. However there is a middle ground that the game is failing to capitalize in this area. 
3. the O-line is absolutely frustrating at the moment. I’ll have one of the top O-lines in the game act like they have skates on their feet when they play against a 1 or 2 star program teams who don’t have a really good D-line. I get that people mess up or lose their footing. But why is it that my O-line is getting beat by lower ranked D-line than a more top ranked D-line. Like I would understand if I were Bama going up against Georgia and my O-line gets beat by Georgia’s D-line. That makes sense to me. But being Bama and my O-line gets beat out by a team like Troy or UAB is not realistic. Make the ratings mater. 
And my final bug that I found was the scoreboard disappear after I check the routes again.

    @Dirty_Smeegs_33 Has there been any communication on if they will be able to fix the corrupted player tendencies? Seems like an easy fix from a logic perspective (tendency is based on ratings vs overwritten by a playbook).
  • @bface14 they cannot fix that. I think it was an irreversible corruption. They just released a hotfix today that took care of position change and scorebug.
  • There was a new patch over the weekend, did nothing that I can tell for RTG.  O- Line still ridiculous; user controlled wide receiver will get multiple illegal block to the back penalties as he gets on the defender and will chase him no matter what you do!!!  It is frustrating!  The additional plays are stuck on the same two plays FOREVER!!  And for some reason, the AI controlled QB will only throw the user WR bullet passes resulting in missed opportunities.

  • Playart is still completely broken in Dynasty mode.    I just gave up 35 points to SMU in the 4th quarter because I can't see the scoreboard when I'm simming.  Sure, EA fixed it so it doesn't disappear when you press RT, but it not working during simulation is game breaking.

  • Yeah it seems like they are just giving crap to the cpu it’s ridiculous. I can be pressured and throw a pass to a slant route and all of a sudden I throw it five yards in front right to a defender. Plus my guys paths get obstructed multiple times a game and I throw it to them more so, so the refs see that there is an interference then nothing is called and they intercept it. Honestly makes me not wanna play at all

    Absolutely agree. Now the secondary does this thing where they impede your receivers progress without touching them. They slow down or face them and play d like they are defending a shooter at the 3 point line. And your player does a weird run in place animation that disrupts timing. Not realistic and it's pass interference. Can I add that running backs run away from holes and refuse to juke, spin or jump? Also can't break tackles of any kind?
