RTG Bug Updates - Please fix for more enjoyable and replay-able experience!

I have been waiting for this game for a very long time and was so excited to dive into RTG as a running back. Overall the graphics and school entrances are awesome! However, I quickly found out there are still a lot of bugs that need to be worked out to make it a much more enjoyable and replayable experience. If you are a developer, please fix the following bugs!

1. Most Important - subbing out - as a starter you get subbed out non-stop. This leads to cut scenes that take up a bunch of time that look nice, but happen way too often (cheerleaders, running off the field, etc - just an FYI half the time these animations are blank and just show a moving stadium when the players should be in the screen). Then having to hit the same “continue playing” button over and over. It feels like you are doing this more than actually playing the game. I find myself never in the red zone unless I get a long run (which rarely happens). And if I get close to scoring on a long run, I am subbed out the next play and don’t get to attempt a touchdown. This leads to you rarely scoring to enjoy the excitement of the game. Then this leads to frustration at the end of the game when you can’t score to help the team win. Even in overtime I am getting subbed out and watch my team loose via simulation. Afterwards I look at stats and the 2nd and 3rd string backs have more carries and touchdowns than my player. Very frustrating. Especially when your player is working up the depth chart as a 2nd or 3rd string player and don’t see the field at all. All making this experience not fun or enjoyable. I tried taking wear and tear off as others recommended and this still happens. The reason why we play these games is to enjoy the excitement of scoring touchdowns, winning games and winning awards. Please fix asap!

2. I’ve seen we can now switch play art to the opposite side of the field (which we could not do last week - thanks), however we still can’t do this to the main play given to us without using up a “coaches play change”. Please fix.

3. Allow more play options to choose from. I have played with the same team and maxed out Coaches Trust and can still just choose from 2 plays, both of which are not great plays. I have only been able to play with one team because of the playbook. All other teams have terrible plays to choose from, some not even running plays. I would like to explore and play other teams, but can’t because I can’t actually pick running plays for my player thus making it pointless and very frustrating to choose another team. Please fix.

4. Allow more time for celebrations. Part of the fun is seeing the celebrations when scoring or after a long run. However these don’t trigger or play half the time, and when they do they get cut out very quickly. The TD celebrations are okay and better than the first done celebrations, but it would be awesome to have the first down celebrations more consistent. Please fix!

5. When choosing a team, I only had a select few options to be a starter as a 5 star recruit, which is not realistic. Of these teams only one had an offense that I could actually complete a semi-decent running play. Please fix the teams that are able to take in a 5 star RB and start on day 1. It is not enjoyable when you have only 10 teams available to choose from, most of them being 1-2 star teams. Hopefully with updated playbooks and running play choices this will be more enjoyable to play with more variety of teams, but right now I literally have one option of a team to choose if I want to get on the field and be able to do anything on the field.

6. Currently when playing, I hit the R trigger to look at play art, and this freezes the camera in a high camera angle, and then I have to click into a different camera angle, then back to my original one before running the play. Very annoying to do this every play during a game. Please fix!

7. All running backs get hit sticked way too much, no matter what archetype or size. With wear and tear on, this quickly decreases your stamina, leading to more time off the field, thus not enjoyable to play.

8. Is there a way you can put the stadium pulse meter on when you are home? That would be a cool added feature.

9. Can we have more customization with swag? I loved Madden last year with all different swag items and colors. I was super excited to swag out my player in NCAA…however there is none. I purposely bought the deluxe version of this game for the in game credits just to buy gear like in Madden, just to find out that there is no extra gear like I was hoping and can only use the credit in UT which I don’t enjoy playing. Please get us extra gear to add to our players like Madden, 2K and MLB the Show. Just like all of these games, people will pay real money to outfit their avatars in game with cool swag!

When you get the chance please take some time to work through these asks as I know it will make a lot of people out here happy! With more enjoyable gameplay comes more long term fans, more annual purchases of the game, and more money for EA in the long term! A win win for everyone! In my experience working on products and projects that are customer facing, this is most definitely in your best interest to listen and respond to as much feedback as possible! Thanks for your consideration!
