Need an honest opinion please

Since College Football 25 dropped last year I've love the game and have strictly played Road to CFP. Last year the game mode was amazing. Fun, exciting, didn't feel scripted at all. 

This year, well Road to CFP ... sucks. 

• They took away the ability to see you opponents team and their records. 
• You play against players on other divisions consistently (underclass vs All Americans)
• Unless you use LSU its almost impossible to win Nattys. (I won 7 last year) I cant even make to the Championship game this year.

I could go on and on, but my question is, is Ultimate Team more laid back then Road to CFP? I cant take the grind of Road to CFP anymore. The game mode favors SEC team( yes I know they are the best conference, but this game literally gives them wins in Road to CFP).

Im just looking for some feedback. I never thought I'd say this but I dont think I can reach my goals(winning multiple Nattys) in Road to CFP. 

Thanks
