Please listen to your consumers.

First of all, I primarily only play Road to the College Football Playoff. I love the feeling of playing another human opponent head to head. That being said, I feel as though little attention was paid to how some new game mechanics would affect this mode.

1st, Stadium Pulse is way too overpowered. It is way to great of an advantage when playing another person for one person to not have the ability to change their play or hot route. Making it take more than one input I would understand, but not being able to change the play at all is ridiculous. This is the reason gimmick defenses like Mid-Blitz are so effective. 

2nd, there are literally game changing wide open catches and interceptions that are dropped way too frequently. Low overall tight ends will make amazing catches in traffic while being hit by a linebacker, while my 90 plus rated WR or DB will drop a wide open pass. I know that drops are a part of the game, but it's brutal when it happens during online competitive play. Same with overthrows when there is no pressure. I should be rewarded for making the right read or defensive adjustments.

3rd, you all gave us a bunch of new tools such as d-line stunts, coverage shades, the ability to stim both offensive and defensive routes, etc... But, most of the time there is no time to input the adjustments. Also why is it a thing for me to get a penalty every time the playclock gets under 5 seconds!? 

Please address these problems in an upcoming patch. I was seriously thinking about getting Madden this year, but if College is in this state I expect the same from Madden.

    1. Saved adjusted depth charts
    2. Weather and different kickoff times
    3. Team specific defensive playbooks. 
    4. Tier balancing and forcing us to play vs Over Tiered teams since everyone wants to spam Tier 1 teams
