I think that what needs to happen, is for EA to actually hire people that have played football past the middle school level. This game is so un realistic. I play this game on a daily basis and even though it is by far the worst version of RTG I've ever played, I'm still going to play it. Frustrated while I play it, but still playing. The frustrating part is, I read these comments in the Fourm, and they never get addressed. Since day one of this game, and I have been playing since day one, it is all the same problems. It's like you take our money, our time and give us a horrible game in return that never gets the issues resolved. I don't read these forums a lot, but I've noticed the same issues over and over again. Please make 2027 better than this one.
Issues I've had are no matter how good I play, or how good my teammates play, the offensive line and pass blockers always come to me. A teammate can run right past the running back, and the running back will allow him to run right past him and come to me.
Next is how much team leadership and coaches trust you lose in the off season. I could be a Heisman Trophy Winner, and I have to start all over with the trust and leadership, this is ridiculous. I feel that if you win end of the year trophies, you should have more trust and leadership than what we are given the following season. The only reason you're doing it is so we have to waist our weekly energy on those leadership and also make it so we dont get the full playbook sooner.
Another problem I've noticed, is that if a linebacker makes a tackle, if there is another teammate close to him, it is counted as an assist.
As far as the upgrading, there is absolutely no reason there should be a limit to football IQ. A player of this caliber would always be learning.
Mental abilities need to be completely overhauled. There is one that works on a regular basis, and that's Winning Time. I've used all of the rest trying to figure out how to make them work, and this is the only one I've never had a problem with.
There are several other problems, and if it is possible for a simple person like myself to be on a list for Bata testing, I would love to be added.
