In dynasty mode, the team overall ratings are different than in play now mode. Is this a bug? Does everyone have this?

I believe there are two different rosters - the default which the game was built with, and then the ‘active’ which is updated by EA periodically to reflect current status

Apparently the Transfer Portal recruiting has a "glitch" but I don't see how they can otherwise fix it...

At the end of the transfer portal season, if you are going after some high level transfers you thought you had no shot at, as long as you're at the top of their interest list they will pick your school at the end. He may never officially commit but he has to be placed somewhere.

I dont believe this is a bug or glitch. In previous versions of the game, some guys would never commit and drift away into the galaxy.

Feel like I read/saw something from one of the dev guys, that this will no longer happen. If you have offered, and end in first for a player, and they are unsigned the last week, they will default to their #1 ranked school.

the biggest draw, at least for me, is realism and how real can I actually get it
Ben Brahmer has bruised his ribs in multiple games this year. I have told him to go to the bench to avoid the high risk re-injury but he comes back in at the beginning of the next quarter.

And Abu Sama tore his pec blocking on the quick toss jet sweep to Noel. I was giving him so many carries a game. It makes sense he got hurt.

Pretty real, tbh. I love it so far.

AKA offer a scholarship and send the house on every five star transfer.

Yes I believe EA plans on doing a weekly update or something like that during the season. But Iowa having a 77 offense outside of Dynasty then having a 84 offense in dynasty is…. Weird

Have any of the previous games in the series come out for PC?
I don’t think any ncaa football games were on PC. PC gaming was also a lot less popular than it is now. And it took them a couple years to make Madden for PC

No but it's 2024 and most every major game is. Even God of War is on PC now which was typically only Sony. There are other examples but it makes no sense. Back then it was a piracy concern but that's mostly obsolete in modern gaming.

Actually present day they're concerned that the PC will have too superior an experience graphically.

Meh. If there's demand, they'll port it or release it for PC next year. If they don't think it's worth it, they won't.

Lazy. It's not like it used to be where the consoles had different architecture for processors. They're all just computers and PC are much stronger in general so there shouldn't be much debugging for performance. It's politics.

Is there any way to see a summary/report of wear and tear? I'm trying to manage Sama because he has been a risk, but the only way I've found to look at it other than the in game updates is from looking him up on the depth chart

Could that be the bump from the coaching skills (ie. motivator) in dynasty that don't otherwise exist outside of dynasty?

Could be. Didn’t think of that. But I think their defense goes down to a 85 from 88 and overall goes down as well.

Could it be an NIL or Licensing issue? To try to avoid any programmers messing with the code? Every other sports game is covered by a large bargaining agreement, from my understanding there is a lot of bridges they had to cross to make sure player likeness, numbers, names, etc couldn't be edited.
