Editing player ratings, the scrubs thank you

@HarerazerYou’re really weird for being this upset about something that is completely optional, no one is forcing this on you or any dynasty you start.

But I get the sense, like many of the other folks upset about this for some reason, you wanted a feature in the game that is still being ignored. 

@btmnyj811100% this. I'm a scrub and I thank EA for implementing it.

I still desperately want to have the cap on coach skill progression removed. I still think having one is a MAJOR disincentive to having a dynasty mode, but having the ability to edit recruits (along with Mass Subs) was one of the single most requested changes and I am grateful to EA for providing it.

Anyone who is complaining is being kinda silly because you don't have to use it. It doesn't impact anyone AT ALL

Don't like? Don't use. Easy fix.

Do like? Now the option is there.

No brainer.

I get the OPs point..not sure why editing player stats is such an important issue for a good majority and yep to me it means they just want to game the system.  That said, yep I don't have to use it but I see how it could be an issue in online dynasties and how do you keep everyone honest?

Additionally, I think it would have been much better effort to solve the lack of ability to change #s vs editing the stats of recruits OR to add the functionality of formation subs 

Just seems priorities are misaligned and could have been spent correcting 2 issues that have a bigger impact overall

Title says it all. I don't know what genius made this call and what other genius cosigned it but this totallly destroys the game. I know "everybody" has been asking for it but that's because they can't play unless they stack the deck in their favor. But never mind that, which is just my opinion...and a fact, this is what you have really done EA. You've taken recruiting completely out of Dynasty. Now everyone is going to recruit 35 1 star players, rework them into 5 stars and say how good they are. This was clearly brought on by Youtubers and cmpletely removes the need to recruit at all.

Great move for the scrubs. What were you guys thinking?

I actually use it to lower attributes. There are waaaay too many QB recruits with 95+ speed, so the ability to edit works both ways. 

I mean, if EA could release a realistic game in the first place, it wouldn't be necessary, but here we are. 

I'm with you until I want to make William Perry. Usually in every franchise mode in the ncaa games I have to edit some DT's carry and trucking stat to at least get him started developing.

choo choo, coal train

@btmnyj811Well I get the feeling you're a casual gamer and not a fan of American college football at all because clearly the simple example I gave went right over your head.
Yes, it's optional but you know what else is optional? Answering this post but you felt the need to do it in a totally non-constructive way. Also, your assumption is 100% incorrect. There is no "feature" that's not in the game that I want to be in. Why? Because I want the game to be as authentic as possible and as the developers intended the game to be, not patched because a bunch of coddled babies whined about not getting their way.

Bro… I don’t think there is a “constructive” way to respond to your post. Your post makes zero sense lol. It’s been spelled out don’t use it play the game how you desire the end…

the positive is now all the people who wanted the feature will buy the game again vs boycotting the game killing sales and said future of the game. Be glad it’s added so you can continue to play this and future games where you can grind super hard for your recruits just like your heart desires. Video games are fun after all.

And yet, you’re the one posting a thread, calling people scrubs because they are asking for an offline feature that has been available in previous cfb games. 

The game can still be as much of a grind as you want it to be, that’s the beauty of having the element of choice. I enjoy having the freedom to start a dynasty where I can mess around and experiment with players every now and then. It affects no one else but me. 

so again, enjoy your grind fest, I’m happy you have the ability to play the game how you want to play it. 

@btmnyj811 it’s a mental illness lol. My guy is losing sleep screaming and punching the air right now that I have mid Tennessee state with all one star recruits with 99 overall everything killing the virtual competition in my offline dynasty. I’m dying lol.
