Beta feedback

Didn’t get to everything, but one thing I did notice that I haven’t seen anyone else really mention: the kicking meter operated MUCH better than in 25. 25’s was laggy & sticky, so much to the point where I would have to wait up to 5 seconds before kicking. With how difficult kicking already was in the game, it just wasn’t ideal . Much smoother in the beta- so good hopes for it in 26.

I’ve seen some chatter about the stunts & twists on d-line, and my experience with them was that I don’t think they ever worked. Went into instant replay quite often in actual gameplay & no instances showed stunts working. Pretty sure there was a note about this prior, but hopefully they are improved before release. 

A good amount of coach head selections when creating a coach for Dynasty were having the chest glitch through their shirt.

Appreciated the team needs being at the top of the recruiting screen. Found it nearly impossible to find a 90+ speed DB in beta, but all ratings were a little lower in general for it from what I saw. All new archetypes seem like a pleasant change from 25’s basic selection of 3 per position group.

Overall, gameplay did seem improved compared to 25. Hit sticks & tackling were MILES better, pursuit even making a case for that as well. My biggest complaint with 25 was player movement. While decent at times, I saw a comment somewhere last year saying that it was comparable to ice skaters gliding around on a field & I could never un-see or un-feel that afterwards. Can feel similar to 25 in moments, but definitely was a little better in my opinion. 

What I liked best were all the new plays (and hopefully formations). Custom playbooks should be fun, yet again.
