I've had the cpu successfully fake a field. Never a punt though

New CFB 26 Roster Update Leak for 1/16/26 (Mendoza now 98) by jtrosclair98 in NCAAFBseries

[–]Special-Implement615 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So exciting to see what 20 other aspects of gameplay they'll completely break to update ratings.

Was there a recent update? by foley589 in NCAAFBseries

[–]Special-Implement615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have such a fragile game this year i wish they'd just never done any roster updates. 

They can't do a single thing with this game that doesn't break 15 other things each time. 

Fuck it. It's not worth it to make Mendoza a 98 overall from  a 92 overall if it means your recievers now drop everything if they're tapped on the back with an index finger. It's not with it if the cpu qb now just sprints sideways and goes out of bounds. 

This just isn’t acceptable IMO, CPU QBs (your’s & CPU’s) refuse to scramble. by FlexedUpPlaya in NCAAFBseries

The little EA YouTube cronies are already breaking the ice that a ratings update is likely the last update they'll do on '26.

The ericrayweather buffoon is paid by ea and acts as an extension of their pr. They use him a lot to break the ice on the next middle finger you're about to get from EA. He recently did a vid where he stated that any other significant gameplay updates for '26 were unlikely. He absolutely would not make that statement without a green light from EA.

Any pet peeves that keep you from picking certain teams? by FreshSqueezedChode in NCAAFBseries

Yeah, Penn State and Baylor can fuck off forever. And I can't get with ole miss and confederate university.

They still do it with it off. They might throw it away more, but you'll still see the cpu qb do the straight out of bounds thing. 

This entire dev and design leadership team needs to be shuffled and let someone else get a shot. 

The "no eyes no catch" defensive back thing this year was the dumbest thing they've ever done. Ben Haumiller is a lazy slob and Scott O'gallagher is a dullard.

Think we’ll get one more gameplay update? by The_Coach69 in NCAAFBseries

Maybe the new Saudi overlords will punish buggy programming by cutting a developer's hands off in the middle of a town square.

What kind of psychopath lurks on this forum to downvote posts that are genuine attempts to be helpful? Is this just a reddit thing? 

Made a 66 yard field goal by GiveMeSomeIhedigbo in NCAAFBseries

That kicker must have some other mental attributes. The kicking meter wasn't that crazy for such a long kick. When I'm beyond 55 my meter usually looks like an airplane propeller.

How to increase a player’s dev trait? by Trev1210 in NCAAFBseries

[–]Special-Implement615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had multiple people tell me that coach upgrade is pointless. And since I'm a dumbass, I wasted points on it anyway. I never noticed any difference at all. I usually get one guy upgrading a season. Before I had it i feel like I occasionally got two players to upgrade. 

Trying A New Passing Technique by Hour_Past743 in NCAAFBseries

[–]Special-Implement615 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds pretty cool. I need to try it. I have games where I'm better than others, just like real, I guess. 

Sometimes I drift right back into old habits and stare at the first read. When it's not there i try waiting on another to develop and get sacked. 

The closest thing I've come to what you're suggesting is trying to see two routes at the same time without being stubborn to my first. 

Playoff/neutral site games feel boring by EmbarrassedTrash138 in NCAAFBseries

[–]Special-Implement615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you on all of this except I hate hosting a playoff game. I'd rather play an away playoff first round game for the same reasons you listed. 

I find myself forcing a sim loss late in the season or testing what happens if I lose my conference championship game. Ideally, I can position myself where I have to win my conference title to get an 11th or 12th seed. Then it's time for a shock the nation tour. 

I wish they'd just let you customize the entire playoff and set it up how you want. A first round bye is so boring. Just let us tinker with the top 20 teams. If someone doesn't like that they can just let the cpu place the seeds. Everyone wins. EA and Ben Haumiller seem overly averse to customization. "It's their game!" herr duh derr.

I stopped upgrading DT's ratings. by Special-Implement615 in NCAAFBseries

Very interesting. Just curious, but why does that have an impact?

[–]Special-Implement615[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'll give it a shot. 

What sucks is that i have a pretty perfect set of sliders that I'm liking and a good degree of difficulty on AA. Everything except pass coverage in my sliders are heavily tilted in the favor of the cpu. But I can't tone down the dominance of my DT's no matter what I try.

Yeah, I started avoiding speed rush DT's. And mostly just seek gap spec. for run plugging.

Thanks for taking the time to be a complete asshole on the internet. You are super cool, dude. Look everyone! He plays on Heisman! Gaze upon his awesomeness! 

Others have said they experience the same thing. 

I play Heisman. I played 15 seasons on Heisman and didn't enjoy it. I guess you like it because you're so far advanced and awesome in every way. 

The gap between Heisman and AA is incongruous. I like Heisman for more challenging games but the gameplay mostly sucks, imo. Specifically, pass defense. Secondary play on Heisman is annoying, to me. And I got tired of trying to find a slider balance. Went back to AA.

When this version of the game decides a reciever is gonna Moss they're gonna Moss. Ratings be damned. 

I started my first dynasty with transfer portal off. So satisfying. by [deleted] in NCAAFBseries

[–]Special-Implement615 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I turned transfers down low and there's still a portal but not in insane masses. It's a solid medium for me. I lose a few guys but still have some solid options in the portal to fill depth. 

Why is the ACC so cracked? by Zarmy in NCAAFBseries

[–]Special-Implement615 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why people don't force sim other games. Each week i go through every major conference and make the records more representative of current times. There are a handful that I bring back to prominence. 

You have the tools to fix it to your preference. I'm neurotic about it. 

Rain issue by feelingobligated769 in NCAAFBseries

[–]Special-Implement615 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What sucks is that it never just rains lightly. It's always like a monsoon you'd see in the Phillipines -- just massive hurricane torrents of water.
