New Update/Training Camp
I wanted to make a post because I previously made one (or a reply I can't remember) about training camp and some of the issues I was having. I am very pleased with the new updates to training camp and the update overall. Below, I have the pros and cons of the latest update for myself.
PROS: The blocking in the running back minigame is better, and I'm now able to get gold pretty easily every time. So far with the WR minigame, I haven't noticed any moonballs anymore, and I hope that can stay true. I really like them adding the route the receiver runs for the DB minigame. As someone who isn't the best, it makes the drill a lot easier to get gold.
CONS: For me, there was one specific run in the running back minigame that was still weird. The fullback would get stuck behind the blockers. I'm usually able to get around, but it still feels like it doesn't work right with that specific run. The chase and tackle drill also still feels frustrating. The running back still sometimes takes some egregious cuts and can ruin a streak and cause me to restart the drill.
TRENCH BATTLE: The biggest con I've noticed is the trench battle minigame. Something was changed to where the animations feel different and sometimes impossible. Sometimes it works without a problem, but others I literally can't complete the drill. For example, I was doing the drill with Tyree Wilson and he couldn't do any moves to get around the lineman, even after adding the finesse and power rusher traits. Then the year after, I did it with a drafted player and it worked flawlessly.
GENERAL: One of my favorite changes are the portrait changes. I like how they fixed it for some of the rookies and now it shows the correct face. The only small issue for me is the jersey changes. I like the new pictures, but the only thing that feels weird is when that player changes teams. It's just weird to see a player playing for a different team wearing the incorrect jersey. But that issue is so small to me that I still prefer the new pictures over the old ones. The other changes I really like are the halftime show/weekly recap changes. It might not seem like much, but it just makes the overall experience better with everything running smoothly. The last two changes that I like are the nose tackle and body type draft generator changes. Fixing the nose tackle archetype is nice because it makes everything more realistic with DTs. The body type change is nice because it just helps to make the drafting experience better.
If anyone has any input about the new update please reply to this. I would like to know what others think. I will also reply to this thread if I find any issues while playing.
