LB RTG is Unplayable
To be clear: I shared this on the r/NCAAFBSeries subreddit but wanted to bring it onto this forum/medium in hopes that the right eyes see it so that there may be the possibility for improvement.
Gameplay is definitely cleaner, especially in regards to gap assignments. Playing the gaps definitely rewards you. However, I do have a few issues with the Mike experience:
• High School moments. I end the game with a pick six, but get punished since the drive goal was to get a TFL. Since it was the last moment, I couldn’t replay it.
• Teammate grade logic. Completely unbalanced in terms of the offensive and defensive experience in RTG. Why am I losing 15 points for “allowing a short gain” when the run was for a gain of one yard? I had always thought runs 3 yards or less were considered a defensive success.
• Tackling logic. This is the most irksome issue for me, especially when I consider that they were supposed to use the same system as Madden. Textbook solo tackles are being considered assists, which is a pretty big drop off in experience points from a solo tackles. Why am I not being credited for assisted tackles that the game animations and vibrating of the controller confirm I was a part of? Seriously, the logic is better in Madden 25’s superstar by a huge margin.
• Camera angles quickly turning as I am pursuing a runner. There are so many tackles I have missed because of this and it is disappointing, since it was also an issue last year.
• Also, the tackling feedback has not displayed for me yet in this game mode. That wasn’t an issue in Madden 25 superstar.
Overall, the gameplay is better. I’m very happy with the gap responsibility logic and the block shedding animations/logic. But, the above issues make the game mode for this position unbearable.
