I usually mess with sliders, but this year AA seems to be good as is. I'm sure the longer I play the more I'll see stuff and want to tweak.

I'm running a offline dynasty with ODU. I love taking a 1star team and moving them up. I can finally play with my hometown team so it makes it even better.

The reason I like the AA setting this year, is because the games played (difficulty/score) the way that they should.

I lost to VT, UVA, and OkSt by between 17-30 points, then I won 3 straight against GASt, FAU and North Texas by 10-21 points.

I think one thing that is going to change the way the game plays, is the coaching tree stuff.

Starting out you have nothing, then as you play you can get better attributes based on what you unlock. I haven't really looked too deeply into the unlocks, but for sliders this year it may be more difficult to find an equilibrium as the game itself can change each progressing week.

Before players would progress yearly, now it seems like depending on what you unlock, it could be weekly.

I don't' know. I'm 9 weeks into my first dynasty that I'll start over once the rosters come out. All in all I like AA difficulty.

Bears, I noticed on the game load screen it says Big Blue or something instead of Monarchs for ODU. have you seen that mistake anywhere else in the game or is it just that one load screen?

LOL I just had my Right tackle go down for the game with a bruised elbow. I DID NOT ADJUST INJ RATINGS YET... Offline dynasty FIRST GAME of season... Could it be?!!

Did they take dreads out? Not a big deal to me but I noticed Florida's starting RB has no dreads but in real life he has medium size dreads.

Haven't seen any that I remember. Man I have not got to play because of work and other things have come up.

Last night I played Florida(me) at LSU we went to 3 overtimes with some epic back to back game saving Interceptions. But going into the 3rd I threw another all they had to do was kick a field goal. I iced him but he drilled it right through the middle.

I had not thrown a int all game until OT

dreads are in they're on teambuilder. they left them off the default roster but you can still edit them and you'll get recruits with dreads randomly like always I believe

For the RB ?

Right trigger or R2 if you on PS3.

Block and release is right stick down

Cats named obidah with 99 speed and white dudes with last names like Muhammad… I just wonder why? Its laughable really. I used to really enjoy finding that rare white wr or rb. Hell, most of the time I had to change someone position or use an athlete to get one. Now they’re everywhere. Takes the fun out of it. Btw --- you had the urge to create a league full of white wr’s and rb’s but a brotha still can’t get a Samoan? Really?

Wait.. What?

I have the same feelings playing this that I had the previous years. There are marginal changes, but they are no game changers. Too damn generic. The Infinity engine is a sloppy mess. It's just 1 on 1 tackling with defenders running into ball carrier like mindless robots. The assisted tackles don't record no more. It's just sloppy looking football. 13 was a lot smoother. I can't see this game or Madden in my PS3 trey all year over games like NBA 2K or The Show. Another wasted year. Hopefully they learn their lesson this gen and won't waste 7 more years of mediocre gameplay.

Did u just say 13 was a lot smoother? I played 13 a total of 2 hours and traded it. Ive played the demo every day. No way in hell can i take ur opinion seriously. Have fun playing 13 for an entire year.
