Love the game, but I will be done if this happens more ..
I notice on special teams when kicking off you can't take control of the kicker and run the kicker straight down the middle of the lane. The kicker acts all realistic and slowly jogs down the field. The kicker is locked up from user control. In years like NCAA 12 after you kick the ball, you could grab the kicker and run straight down the field. Player wasn't all locked up. Like okay it's just the kicker and it's being realistic. But I have a further point....
Also on special teams, on onside recovery, you recover the onside kick. And player locks up from user control. No matter what you do on onside kick recovery, you recover, you can't run to the left or right until the game forces you to run 10 yards up the middle.
I use to be able to return onside kicks for TDs (on CFB 26 till updates this year) or take control of the player and user the way I want.
Now you lock the players up and I can't move them and computer forcefully moves them 10 yards to middle of field.
I get it, there was onside kick plague, you want the kickoff to look realistic with the kicker jogging down the field after his boom kick.
But ..
I will never play again, if the user ability gets locked up any further on positions of the ball like offense or defense.
I've noticed it too on interceptions on defense now recently!
Next year if in shot gun and I call a run play and the RB locks up and I can't hit the hole I want or bounce outside. I'm done.
I have already been animate about letting WRs have more free control while ball is in air. They are locked up slightly. Not like in NCAA 12 where you could literally zig zag a receiver or just run away from the ball, to the ball, stop, whatever you want as the ball was in the AIR coming toward them.
Any more of these locks up and not allowing free usering...would literally put me at a dead stop with the game.
And most likely only using my Xbox for Netflix, music, and really no more games... :/
Please just check our your older games NCAA 12, NCAA 08, NCAA 14 so you can understand the people better. That what we last played that we last liked a lot. That's what we last remember.
When people say things like it's cheese or money plays or it needs to be realistic, I think the gamers should calm down on some of those comments. Cause like when people say it's a movie, " like it's a movie dude", same thing it's a video game, not a real live D1 game. Should be realistic and depict that but come on and chill it's a video game. 🙌 Take those comments with a grain of salt I say.
Some of the exciting about the game is seeing a running back run all the way back -50 yards to the corner of their own end zone and beat the whole defense for a 110 yard run to score for fun.
