EA Sports College Football 25

Anyone else think that the natural grass in the game looks like turf? I remember '14 you could easily tell grass fields from turf and grass fields would get torn up throughout the game. '25 I can't tell the difference and natural grass fields don't seem to get torn up.

Also I have yet to find the button that makes the defensive players pump up the crowd or the offensive players wave their arms down to silence the crowd.

I've waited 11 years for this game and I'll appreciate the time I have with it, but man it certainly has a lot of bugs and issues and lack of some detail for a game that was 2 years in the making.
 
All of these seem better but not totally fixed.

There is one glitch I have an issue with that doesn't seem to be fixed and it is irritating...

On defense, in the middle of a drive the offensive team (CPU) will let you pick a defensive play but then after you pick the play the offensive team will go into a no huddle so your play is reversed to whatever play you had picked before. It is annoying and it is pretty frequent when you play teams that play no-huddle all game.

I hope they fixed the false starts glitch when doing multiple hot routes. I haven't confirmed this one yet.

It sucks these changes will only fix if you start a new dynasty. My buddy and I are in year three of a dynasty and it is annoying bc nothing is fixed.
From what I can tell, this has been fixed. I am the "Hot Route King". I was about to throw a controller each time I was called for false start while changing things up. I have not seen it happen since the patch.

Started a dynasty before the patches and not willing to restart so we have to live with some of this shit.

No way I am starting over in year 5 of Rice. A title and top draft class under my belt. I'm ready for a repeat.

Yes I am playing on Heisman

Heisman? Well, my hat is surely off to you. I struggle at times on Varsity (with sliders). I am using San Diego State as my dynasty (son's idea). I am in year 3. I can't wait to leave except my 97 speed QB is a freshman. He is crazy good. He gets the team out of a lot of jams. However, I can't wait to leave. Uniforms alternatives blow. Ready for a bigger and better job. A 20 and 6 record with two bowl wins should be halfway decent for an upgrade. Hey, Florida gave Napier a shot. So, why not?

I played 2 years on All-American while my team was not very good. Won it all in year 3 as an 85 overall. Up to 4 star prestiage and 89 overall in year 4. Moved to the Big 12 and shuffled the conferences around. My buddy is Georgia St and he has a 97 speed QB. My QB is really good but only 84 speed and 91 accel. Got a 90 speed freshman I am redshirting. Still waiting for that Michael Vick haha

So you never got in the CFP? Didn’t win your conference?

Not yet. I had 3 losses each year. I was so pissed at the way the game was playing before patch and before I started using a good set of sliders. I would beat Oregon State by 20 and then give up 490 passing yards to FCS whoever in a win, but a 72-58 score. A win for us, but is it really? Or pre patch, some low level team would have nothing first half, and I have a 24-7 lead. The second half, it was like the opposing team suited up the KC Chiefs and we suited up the local pee wee league team. Result in us getting beat like 38-31 or something. I haven't seen that type of stuff lately.

This is how my buddy plays with Georgia St. He scores 70 or 80 a game even on Heisman but he gives up 50-60 a game. I tend to run the ball more so my I don't give up as many points. He plays man to man...not sure how he does it and I play basically all zone and some man blitz. We are playing before most of the patches though so coverage is still pretty bad overall for man. Zone is not as bad but I have to user a ton with a LB or S.

That is good to know the patches are helping. Hope to start a new one eventually with the new patches.

What about roughing the kicker? That is a huge problem in ours, we have to do punt safe for every punt.

I am not putting up that many points a game. I lean on the running game more. Once I get a decent lead, if I do, I burn clock then. I always click on the player that is getting ready to rough the kicker and move him the opposite way.
 
Watching my kid play Dynasty as Ball State. Announcers are driving me nuts.

How long did it take for you to turn off Jessie Palmer's commentary?

I keep the commentary very long. I keep the crowd and sounds on the field higher
 
Didn't someone promise us Beth Mowins? I will take her voice and Gus Johnson. Her constant moaning, grinding voice. Can't forget Johnson's Maserati Marv comments. Man, EA, bring 'em on.
