Dynasty Sim Engine is unplayable

I want to love this game, but the sim engine is unplayable. The sim is just constant upsets, and 5 star schools going 5-7. Of course I want to see a few big upsets every now and then, but right now they're seeming to occur more often than the big team winning. 

I also want to add that the ranking system is broken. 11-2 conference champs shouldn't be behind in the rankings to a 9-4 team in their conference. Not to mention how many 3+ loss teams are ranked top 4 even when there are teams with much much better records. 

Is there a plan to patch any of this? Because this has me wanting to get a refund and simply go play NCAA 14. 

Edit: and I want to note I agree with a lot of others that the 1star schools don't need to be so close in rating to 5 star schools. Make Kennesaw a 55 overall if the elite schools are going to be low to mid 90s. There is a gap in real life, but not in this game.

    Marked as solved only for visibility. We are currently looking into this. 


    Hey, folks

    I wanted to drop in a line here. The team continues to work on updates for the game.

    We have an update on what is happening from the team Here.

    Once we have more updates from the team to provide, we will update you with that info.

    Cheers!

    Same here. I can't remember who they played (crazy this isn't recorded in game), but it was another middling P5 program like Iowa State or Missouri.

    So my issue is with RTG. No high-school start. We simply create a guy, but at under dog or contributor it took me nearly 2 seasons just to get to qb1. How can I adequately gain skill points but never play. If we can't even play football at least give us scrimmage in practice. 7 on 7 or something. Or HIGH SCHOOL. And the o line is absolutely horrid. But ai offensive line is virtually impenetrable.  The ai also can detach from blocks on a whim, the defensive line run like a speed of 90 but players are ranked in the 70 or 80's for speed. I repeatedly see unblocked defensive players, but when the ai is on offense everyone is blocked. 

    I literally hike and 3 lineman stand up. And one guy weaves through all 3 to nail my qb......

    Also, I had a qb that fought his way to qb 1, got to the playoffs, next season, qb3. 

    The interceptions are strange. Just strange, the computer picks off everything by simply standing on the routes your players are running. Literally back up or trot to the exact route.

    I dont even think they checked the bugs for the trophies, practice mode and awards not showing up in the player cards.

    agreed. nobody injured, sim 1-2 games and boom there's 7 guys on the report and 3 of them out 12+ weeks. Even after turning the slider down that all happened. Need a sim injury nerf.

    I feel like it has gotten worse and without any explanation about what certain settings actually do,  the game has run its course.  If the improvements aren’t focused on sim/coach mode and statistics, you have an arcade game that will fade away.  Can’t even fully modify the conferences, no season to season stats. 

    it’s like a game from the early 90s 

    are all the expected feature additions just going to be arcade type additions? 

  • How does difficulty level and game play sliders impact sim?  
    what use is the coaching carousel?

    why want QBs scramble or run option in coach mode but they do in slow sim?  Why isn’t coach mode like slow sim? Why does looking at the player card kick you out of change player position.  

    hdo playbooks really matter?  I mean really matter?

  • My favorite option is the two lines on menu  update coaching abilities that lead to the same place. 

    Also not being able to find assistants in your chosen systems is the furthest thing of reality.  

    and wining at a power 5 school may open up one the coveted positions of coordinator at Akron 

     

  • Instead of having a working coach mode can you add more alternative uniforms?
