It’s just weird cause my QB never fumbled before the last patch. And of course I’m using the best QB in college football.

ND seems like the best team in the game in most my dynasties I have encountered. They steal every recruit from me too. It's ridiculous. I lost to them last year and I am here for revengeLost to ND last night.
Three fucking times.

He probably just sucks or something. They updated him to reflect the suckage.

Saw that Metallica rocked Enter Sandman at Lane a few weeks back, looked like quite the audience participation.

I wasn't able to attend but the people I know who went said it was a great concert. VT foolishly doesn't do concerts at Lane all that often so maybe this will change their minds

Overall I know last years’ game had a lot of bugs, some were sorted out and some weren’t. I am hoping those are fixed and more is added. I know a trophy room will be added which is pretty cool. A ton of new plays added.
I only hope down the road there will be some way to import our NCAA dynasty draft classes into Madden bc Madden is unplayable at the moment.

I have read a few things. It seems the defenders have to have to their eyes on the ball to actually catch an interception. Also, there will be formation subs and dynamic subs. A few places said that the QB scrambling is smoother.

It's EA so I expect most improvements will be purely aesthetic ones.

you mean i wont throw 10 interceptions in 1 game where the defender somehow intercepts with his back turned chasing my WR who is 15 yards ahead but the DB still manages to grab the ball? sounds fake

Yeah or the old speed boost for the defender on a crossing route. They still haven't fixed that in Madden for the last decade

The main thing I want fixed is the god forsaken coach carousel (and some more depth and features in the dynasty menu in general would be an added bonus). When I left off I was like 9 seasons into Turing Oregon fucking State into a goddamn powerhouse, maxed out coach xp, and the only offers I ever got at the end of the year were G5 teams or coordinator spots at good programs. Isn't the fun supposed to be starting at a shitty school and trying to either work your way up to either a traditional power house or your alma mater? EA's just like, nah, here's more downgrade options.

Watched a video on the dynasty deep dive. They have definitely added a lot and made some changes that a lot of people wanted last year. I think recruiting and transfer portals were some huge things that needed to be improved and it looks like they made some nice changes.
- More coaching customizations and real HC's, over 100 I believe and I think that includes some coordinators
- transfer portal changes and recruiting changes- like, the dealbreakers are more realistic. For example, if a dealbreaker is playing time you need a certain number of snaps but even then if say a player breaks out or he was a high recruit they could still transfer. They have recruiting battles where a player narrows down schools and you have to make one final push, I like this. Schedule visits are based on proximity (not just 40 for every visit). If you have A+ for proximity, you will spend 10 or 20 instead. More emphasis on if you are close to signing a recruit, not just middle ground shit we saw. Pipeline customization. Basically much deeper scouting, better search options....more changes.
- wear and tear. Most thought this was overblown and pretty unrealistic. You can basically customize every setting for wear and tear for each position. For example, if you want a cut stick to have more wear and tear on players, even specific to position, you can customize just about anything you want. Regular tackles to the QB can mean less. A season and career "health clock" was added.
- player progression is smoother and consistent. Program building will have a factor to an extent. Also, a new player archetype system. Updates on training results and player progression is more clear on a weekly basis and in the offseason. You can see how much your player progressed from an overall standpoint, development traits, weight gain, etc. You can manually update player skills with the points...I'm not sure you could do this before.
- boom stick. I am skeptical about this one bc Madden was so bad and glitchy. But hopefully since they started it in Madden last year and they have worked out some kinks.
- a trophy room and records have been added. You can see a full trophy room from all history in any game mode. Tracking records, champions and more awards added. You can see these for each player too.
- Box scores, players stats and team stats updated. More stats, %'s, ratios, etc.
- positions updated. NT, WLB, SAM, LDE, RDE, EDGE, etc along with type of players like gadget players...this goes along with archetypes. You can added certain archetype players to certain formation subs...just another added setting to make it more realistic.
- more schedule customization. You can lock in long-term matchups and more schedule settings. These are more aligned to what we see today.
- "full screen takeover". When you player beats a season or team record something will come up on the screen. Don't know all the details but it seemed noteworthy and cool.
