You know it seems every year that the only thing EA does right is sell this game, pay off the “critics” to make it seem above average. But then release a turd covered in so much glitter that it seems pretty, until you bite into it and realize it’s still a piece of crap. Overalls and sliders don’t matter depending on your difficulty. If you’re on heisman with sliders maxed out, your o line will still be tissue paper, receivers not breaking free from coverage, corners blowing coverage ext. same on the opposite. You 0 out all cpu sliders and they still have everything on lock. Just an experiment I did to prove that you could be the best team in the game will sliders in your favor going against the worst and you still will have an unenjoyable difficult experience. But it’s not because heisman difficulty is hard. It’s because all heisman does is make your teams awareness plummet and boosts everyones on the opponents team to max, ands that’s all difficulty is in the game. Dumbing down your players and giving PhD’s to the opponent. Making the experience unrelentingly tedious. Player overalls should matter otherwise what is the point of recruiting new guys. Why pay the nil. If every high overall player we get is instantly gonna be eating crayon on the sideline because you don’t want an absolute joke of a cake walk of any other difficulty setting. The ai is still embarrassing. How do we have robots now, super computers in our pockets and smart homes but this dev teams still can’t make blockers hit their mark, secondary line up more effectively agains receivers and corners actually make plays that make since. Why is it that the o-line or kick return blockers wind up blocking the runner or return man more than they do the opposition. It is a disgrace of an effort year after year out of EA to turn over slop knowing fully well they are the only simulation based american football video game. This is the problem with monopolies. When there is no competition then there is no effort. Turn out your B.S. slap in your micro-transactions (because you know 70+ for a glittering turn isn’t enough). Let the complaints fall on deaf ears and make millions. Until people stand up and either stop buying these games or start actually speaking out to have other companies make american football games expect this every year like with what EA did with madden. Another game that use to be the best. Now an embarrassing shell of it’s former self. Now I will say the only two things I think are great in the game. Presentation and the tiniest bit of gameplay. The game look beautiful and runs smooth. A big step up from last years bigger step back. When the game isn’t doing it’s dumb ai to make the game unplayable I actually have a fun experience. The plays move in motions that feel like watching a real football game. The potential is there for this to be one of the best football games. But because of everything else I said it falls even shorter than borderline unplayable. Makes overalls matter as much as you like to make it seem you care for. Get a better ai system to have players actually be a use rather than a detriment. Stop pushing ultimate team and micro-transactions and actually listen to your fans to keep telling you they want RTG or dynasty to be the main game options. But above all else, just actually start making an effort EA. We see through all the bells and whistles and your monopoly can only last for so long. For anyone wondering if I would push anyone to buy it I’d say it’s 50/50. Only buy it when it hits it’s $20-$30 deals, because honestly thats all the game is worth. Do not buy it for $70+. But if you can find it over 50% off then sure. Stay away from micro-transactions though, they are scams.
