Pathetic game

It’s so obvious that the game was made hard because of the microtransactions. The whole point was to frustrate players into spending money to upgrade their player faster.

The Texas route is completely useless now because when the RB makes the cut, he turns like my 80 year old grandma. Every route that worked well last year has been nerfed into the ground.

I played Road to Glory on Heisman difficulty last year, and it was perfect, maybe a little too easy. What we have now is just ridiculous. It’s not that you improved zone coverage, the defense already knows exactly which offensive play I called before the snap.

It’s painfully obvious this was designed to frustrate players into spending as much money as possible. Now that you’ve removed the microtransactions, shouldn’t you also rebalance the CPU?

The opposing cornerbacks are bumping into my receivers 10+ yards downfield and no pass interference or illegal contact is ever called. There’s nothing wrong with making the defense better, but when the game stops being fun, you’ve gone too far.

There was also a completely ridiculous animation in Dynasty last year. Whenever someone on offense fumbled, there would be an automatic replay review, and the call would often be overturned so I could keep the drive going. That exact same nonsense is still in Road to Glory. The difference is that there’s no replay review and the call never gets overturned, even though in some cases it was blatantly obvious that it wasn’t a fumble.

The more time I spend playing this game, the more pathetic it feels that it was filled with microtransactions from the start.

For once, can you please release a game that’s actually enjoyable during its first month? I’m sure it’ll take at least 2–3 months before all of these issues get fixed.

It’s honestly pathetic.

    Also, on offense, can my teammates not just run STRAIGHT TO THE DEFENDER?!?! Holes open the side of the pacific and these idiots run straight to defenders and try to juke at the last minute when it’s too late. I understand making it a simulation and not letting the user have control over other players, but I’m getting penalized cause these idiots run to contact or drop wide open passes. 

    In addition, taking points off for “almost intercepted” is comical. It was also “almost caught” but who cares about that, right?

    I just lost a playoff game to LSU because the I called hot route slant for receiver X from the line of scrimmage because he had a completely open field to his left and the DB ran his route perfectly and directly in front of him with my WR basically so close they'd trip over each other in real life. I thought he might have had an openening and threw it but naturally it fell incomplete. We actually scored on the play but EA wouldn't have us ahead of LSU 24-21 so they ensured they'd return a kickoff immediately afterwards. Then, my WRs couldn't catch the ball, trying to hot route quickly with just over a minute left wouldn't work because the buttons were delayed when pressed, so I'd press again and something completely different than a hot route would show (usually a completely different play), and on and on. Several times I tried to pass the ball quickly to an open receiver and the QB wouldn't throw, then finally throw when the receiver's opening closed. And of course, 90% of the time when a perfectly thrown ball is placed in the receiver's hands and a DB barely touches him he drops the ball. And I can't forget about my 95 rated QB overthrowing his receivers or throwing too far ahead or behind for no reason. I don't mind losing a game naturally but absurd things like this not only waste my time and my money, but they make the game frustrating and not enjoyable at all. It's as if no one at EA tested anything before release. I hope 2K will develop a college football game someday soon.

    ^^ Had all these happen to me multiple times as well. It’s so obvious EA wanted to frustrate people into making micro transactions. With that turned off EA needs to patch the computer play.
