I haven't experienced the issue with a kicker getting put in at QB, but i have experienced a similar issue in dynasty mode on multiple occasions. It has happened on at least 5 different seasons when I have a RB in the Heisman race. The computer will randomly sub out my starting RB for the backup and will not under any circumstances allow the player back into the game. The starter will start the game... and by "start the game" I mean he literally will play the first offensive play ONLY. Then he will never go back in the game. He is not hurt and is number 1 on the depth chart, but will never go back in. I have tried special formation subs, global subs, everything. You name it, I have tried it, but the computer will not put the player back in the game... PERIOD! I have even tried to change the depth chart and put that player in at a different position (like WR or SLWR) and it will not allow him to re-enter the game. On one instance, it did this three (3) games in a row and the player ended up not getting the Heisman. This is only one instance of literally hundreds of things that the programmers at EA Sports have intentionally interfered with the gameplay merely for the sake of being a$$hole$! It is obviously intentional... and achieves absolutely nothing other than simply being a **bleep** for the sake of being a **bleep**!!!
What is so irritating is that the game itself COULD be really fun, except for the intentional interference of the programmers to inject their own predetermined outcome for the mere sake of being an a$$hole. Here are just a few of the things I am talking about.
- Removing players in the running for awards from games and not allowing them to re-enter.
- When you hit the "slide" button, or are holding the "clutch" button to protect the ball, but instead the QB or RB, etc., dives with the ball outstreached in one hand for an easy fumble.
- When my receiver with a 95 speed rating blows the CB with an 85 speed rating off the line, but then the CB somehow miraculously catches up and makes the pick???? Hmmmm??? What the hell are your rating system numbers for if you intentionally don't act under the parameters of them?
- When two teams are evenly matched (which would indicate a 50/50 chance of either team winning), but when the game is simulated the opposing team wins roughly 85% of the time!!! ????? Makes no sense at all, but it happens EVERY TIME! I have tested this one extensively.
- When your players all of the sudden drop every pass. I don't mean drop A pass.... I mean when your players drop 8 passes in a row???? WTF???
- When your players randomly run the entire wrong play. Not just one player does something wrong, but all receivers run the wrong routes at the same time.
- When there is no crowd noise because I am winning by 2+ scores, but the computer won't allow offense to call an audible????
- When you call an audible (even an audible where the formation does not change AT ALL) and the defense shifts to EXACTLY the right formation to stop the play... then you audible AGAIN on the same play and they shift AGAIN... and so on, and so on!!!
- Team goes from ranked number 1 or 2 to number 12 over the course of 5 weeks, while winning every game.
- Undefeated team is ranked BEHIND another team which you beat by 40 in their house!!! Has happened so many times, I have lost count!!!
These are just a few of the noticeably intentional "cheats" that the programmers have put in the game for no other reason than just to screw us over. I would PAY for an update that would simply take OUT all of these intentional, BS, cheats! Please put that out there. But for now, I would just chalk up the whole kicker subbed in at QB as yet another one of these jack-**bleep** moves by the programmers.
