Paperclyp Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 9 minutes ago, Keyser_Soze said: EA: Wait, people liked this series? It's actually interesting hearing game journalists who are not sports fans talk about it. Like on the Nextlander podcast most of them were ignorant of the popularity of the sport in general, calling it amateur sports or comparing it to the XFL or something. Then others saying you can only be a fan if you go to the school, you can't root for a team if you didn't go there, and things like that. All misconceptions. I mean you don't have to root for an NFL team to enjoy the game, same with the college game, you just wanna see some football and generally it is more fun to watch than the offshoot leagues. I just listened to that pod yesterday haha. They’re my favorite gaming pod by far but only Alex even has a smidgen of sports knowledge, and it is a smidgen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 I think some people are just ignorant into how much money is actually poured into college football. This isn't amateur hour. Wasn't Nick Saban getting paid more than state officials? Some schools even have locker rooms that are fancier than pro locker rooms. But I don't know why I'm telling you, someone needs to tell them. Impressive that he went to Butte college though. I wonder if he even knew Larry Allen had passed away recently. 🌹 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 First game of year two I went into Colorado and destroyed the Buffalos. Then turned right around a lost a home night game to Rutgers 20-14. I was so disappointed but damn I love this game. Gotta lock in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Tried the Air Raid offensive playbook and wasn’t a fan. Went back to the Tech Spread offense and destroyed Temple. I know those plays much better since running them last year. Might try UFC’s Spread offense. It seems to have more jet sweeps and it also includes the wild cat.

Biggie Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Recruiting question. Once you choose stuff like DM player or talk with their family and friends how long do you keep it chosen for? Like the very next week should I be taking choices off and adding and trying new ones like soft/hard sell or send the house? And then how long do you keep those on? Should I constantly be switching choices on recruits each week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I’m really taking my time recruiting this time. Using my metro Atlanta pipeline getting decent players in who want to be here instead of reaching for unattainable 4 and 5 stars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I constantly be switching choices on recruits each week? To answer this I'm still doing RTG and with the upcoming patch that is supposedly supposed to fix some Dynasty things (RIP Nebraska in the National Championship game) I might hold off to start one.

Should I constantly be switching choices on recruits each week? I’m not sure if there’s any mechanic where it becomes less effective if you do the same thing. I think it probably has a similar effect each week and they keep all the stuff on there so you don’t have to redistribute all the hours. I will take stuff off if I have a clear advantage on a recruit and then focus more points on other closer races. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 Just beat North Carolina in overtime. Had a nice QB rush where I broke like 2 tackles and got into the end zone. I tried to save the clip but forgot there's a dedicated share button so I lost most of it. Next time though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the picture is smaller which makes it appear better. But I'm super impressed with the deck lately.
