road to glory is awesome. just wish I didn't get punished so much for skipping classes to netflix and chill with the college football groupies
the equivalent of AI slop
I wanted to write this to rant about how awful the gameplay is this year. I love that it's on PC but that's about it. I never review anything and was gonna keep the complaints to myself but I just finished a game that took me over the edge and I need to get it out. Why is it that you can't blow out teams in EA games anymore. I was beating 11 ranked South Carolina in my Alabama dynasty 21-0 right, then magically everything goes South Carolina's way? First my qb got sacked for the first time that day and fumbled and none of my guys even tried but here comes a SC player to pick it up then score. Then next offensive play, Ryan Williams gets laid out right as I throw the ball to him and it just so happens to just fall right into a saftey's hands for a pick six and no PI called. Then I'm driving down trying to not explode from the bull that just happened two straight drives then it happens again, my qb throws directly to a defenders hands despite being hot. I understand accuracy issues are real but going right to a defender is a little suspicious. The final nail in the coffin is how bad the o-line blocking is in the game. I have 3 different dynasties and all 3 have blocking problems just like last years. I can't roll out at ALL or the tackle just lets the edge go and sack me. Anytime I try to either step up and run or roll out the o line just let the defensive lineman go and I'm sacked and probably fumbling. I had to turn the difficulty down to All-American and change the blocking sliders to give me a chance. Last thing which isn't as bad but bothers me is why do I have to play as every single school to get their mascot in mascot mode. It's a bit ridiculous to have to play as 120 different teams and win each one. If they fix this or do something to make it better, I will gladly take this down and make a good review its just that this game is unplayable and I know EA is never gonna see this but I needed to get this out.
Taking out XP Sliders is just weird. Why do they even care
Playing Road to Glory QB, Playoff game. Down 45-37. Drove down and scored with 4 seconds left. Instead of going for 2 coach decides to kick XP. What?
Look I get it, the microtransactions ruined this game for the single player aspect.. and yes you shouldn't support corporate greed. All in all this game is great and I will get my enjoyment out of it. (Even on 2k I've never bought VC never seemed needed so will follow same with this game.) EA College 26 you will be cherished.
after many hours, this is an infuriating football game i've played, passes are incomplete when nothing happens, can't throw to a player when they're wide open and overall just a dumb way how ea always messes everything up
DONT BUY UNLESS ON SALE Haven't played an NCAA game since they were first being made..... wish i still haven't played.... bugs galore, AI that seemingly know your play before you do, STICKY ASS BUTTONS AND AI. just play HB and you will see it, there is a bubble around your linemen that if you touch it will just kill the play, either they stop blocking entirely and you get tackled or the linemen push you back and your character will moonwalk away then shuffle step to try and get back going the direction you are holding your stick. Played as UT during the Red River Rivalry and i walked out with the sooners. Played at Notre Dame when i was walking out the entire tunnel was set to 100% reflectiveness and 100% brightness, brother i couldn't see a damn thing lol. Any screen plays? Good luck getting past those offensive linemen and their bubbles. I HATE that you start in high school and your speed and catching etc. feels so godly...... then you get to college... i couldn't have the ball handed off to me and get to my hole before the entire D-line was in the backfield, and it wasn't only once it happened multiple times where it felt like i had no speed at all. This game feels like the last madden game i played in my companies break room 2 years ago only there are college teams instead of NFL, lastly EA has adopted the same AI as Retro bowl i guess because they have no stamina drain what so ever and turn into the terminator as they walk you down. I was so excited when i saw they were finally releasing a PC version, the nostalgia of playing this with my dad and friends but this game showed that EA is fully invested in just making money. Yeah yeah they walked back the microtransactions, THEY SHOULDNT HAVE HAD THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE THATS WHY THEY REMOVED THEM ALMOST INSTANTLY THEY EVEN KNEW IT WAS A LITTLE MUCH. OH and one more thing this game isn't optimized, my computer isn't top of the line but it ain't anywhere near the bottom so if i can play ESCAPE FROM TARKOV (for those who don't know, EFT is arguably one of the worst optimized games) on this computer and run 60+ frames without crashing why has this game crashed on me 5 times in a span of 8 hours of gameplay?
peak ngl
As someone who recently became a fan of football, I like the RTG portion of the game. Playing a HB character is a lot of fun. I can see where people would be mad about previous iterations missing the sliders. I have a few thoughts about certain broken issues. Cap Breakers are broken. I acquired 24 of them super early and cant improve my characters stats, says Cap Breaker Needed. Somehow at the start of a game I ended up huddled with the opposite team lol. Also I am playing on Freshman difficulty because I am still learning about football and want to have fun at first...My character is able to get 5-6 Rushing TDs a game and I went to top 10 draft pick and now each game that bar keeps dipping by a notch, If I have full coach trust, leadership, breaking records every game...then why am are my draft pick potentials going down? It doesn't make any sense.
