Dubious posted:huh well then, the guys I poo poo points into still didn't commit. Putting offseason points into multiple players has never worked out for me. Instead, I've always either chosen one guy that I'm leading, or one guy whose other leading competitors don't have a coach with enough point in recruiting for the offseason bonus. Paying attention to the level of the CPU coach and where they have points is always an important factor in recruiting. E: Did everyone already get their position changes in???

Advanced to Cut Players. I'm taking a plunge and cutting a senior QB for the sake of having 3 QBs within 3 points of each other that all have multiple years to play. I think even the true freshman will see some playing time.

r2a. Got some really great training results - maybe even better than I hope for. Yet I'm going to redshirt several seniors because I want to be a true contender after this upcoming season.

It'll sit at custom conferences until tomorrow AM so you can redo coach points as you see fit.

Preseason y'all. I've got too many RBs to get touches. I don't have enough LBs. The recruiting board looks healthier with more blue chips interested in ACC schools this year. We'll prb sit here until after the Super Bowl then we'll attack season 2 of the reboot with earnest!

John Brown posted:r2a. Much like last year prioritizing probably means if I don't lock up guys with an instant commit it's gonna be more of the same (which is sorta more realistic than all of us capturing 80% of the blue chip recruits, but is a bummer none the less) losing out on higher rated guys and filling in the class with 60 something dudes so walk ons don't take spots.

The web app is good for checking schedules and that's about it. If we were like 20 maybe the sharable web stories thing would be cool so you can edit your own rear end in a top hat sports report of the games. I did that like once or twice in 2012 when they introduced that feature.

Just in time to wipe away those post Super Bowl blues (and the official end of real football for 8 months) we are now advanced to week 1 of season 2. Which would be the start of our now 8th or 9th total season since launch. Everyone should have a game. Let's get it!

yea leave the sliders as is. That front 7 I went up against was just really good and my interior line play is an average unit, so it wasn't a shocker. but lol at my QB having no time in the pocket ever, one of the pass rushers almost always got a free shot and lol, just lol at trying to run any PA. I was officially sacked twice on the books, but there was probably 7 or 8 qb hits and another 4 or 5 takedowns after i had to run for my life that weren't sacks because i got past the line.

You obviously didn't perform very well in the old-school Madden drills  E: Have you guys tried using the evade stick? I'm interested to try it out but would like to not get my QB destroyed.

I usually use the evade stick when i'm hanging in the pocket, works pretty well. It's kind of tricky to get the hang of though.

cletus42o posted:You don't need the full 700 points in, in fact I think you lose those points if you get the insta - they vanish with the commitment. I always offer to anyone who has me at 1st before I start divvying out points, and I've gotten plenty of instas. Further proof that it's random as gently caress because I've never gotten an instant commit without doing so.

Well okay then the game is just complete non sense they totally dicked over the recruiting with this last version. I really liked the refined older version, although the actual game play in this one is still the best of the bunch more or less.

Actually, it all kinda makes sense now though. Cletus would get a few instant commits (ICs - for lack of effort) but still have 700pts remaining per commit to apply elsewhere, and we all know the first week of recruiting is the most crucial. To further explain, I just got 3 ICs but I also lost 2100pts. Imagine if I'd only spent 50pts on offering each of them a scholarship. I'd still have 2-3 more players to max out for Week 1. No wonder he usually gets ahead so fast! E: Crazy that there's still poo poo to learn about this game at this point. John Brown fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Feb 9, 2016 |
