EA Sports NCAA Football game

- Start date
Just finished my first dynasty season with Iowa State on AA (played the first 2 on Varsity not quite sure what the difficulty looked like). Started 8-0 with a few close games. For some reason, starting with Kansas in Week 9, I became completely inept on offense. Like, couldn't complete a pass without an interception inept. Could run the ball for more than 2-3 yards and the passes I did complete were like 3 yard outs. Got totally ****housed by Kansas, Cincy and Kansas State, and probably only beat Utah because they played their backup QB.
I don't want to switch my difficulty back to Varsity because the first 8 weeks were competitive and alot of fun. I recruited well and retained everyone so I'm hoping the talent jump for next year will make the difference, and I'll probably try a more pro-style playbook. But it's frustrating that the AI basically just decided to make the game impossible after I was doing well.

I think the AI kicks in and drives the in game competiveness up. Like it’s either it reacts to your trends or truly just ramps up the chaos.
I was pummeling teams with my AAC school 10-0 record and then hosted 2-8 Navy and they were throwing the ball over the field like Chip Kelly’s Oregon. Lost by 3.
I used to break a controller every now and then playing this game in the past. I thought my anger issues were controlled as a middle-aged adult until this game came back out.
I'm glad the AI adjusts, but it became ridiculously hard. I'll give it a shot this next season but if I can't find a balance where the games are competitive but not impossible I'll just stick with Road to Glory.
Anyone try firing your assistant coaches? I missed the window last offseason, didn't realize you only had one chance, but it looked like I could easily upgrade.
Try lowering the fatigue rating in dynasty. I had the same issue where the computer became impossible to beat, it was mostly because my players were super fatigued and less effective. I lowered fatigue down to 15 and Abu Same was all of a sudden balling out again in year 2. This would not be an issue if they allowed mass subbing in blowouts.
I believe prestige decides that, but can't say for certain.
When I started at South Alabama, I had 400 hours as a 1 star prestige program. Now i have 500 hours as a 2 star prestige program.
I had half a mind to give mine a chuck yesterday. Then I remembered it's my kid's PS5, and I don't want to have to explain to the wife why I had to replace his controller.
That makes sense. Higgins, Sama and Brahmer all had pretty heavy usage early on, so that could account for why they couldn't do anything in the back 1/2 of the season. I'll give it a try.
Only thing that really drives me crazy is when the QB's roll out and the LB's are just standing in their zone with no players around them.
Sounds like this game was a huge hit. Also heard Xbox has sold a ton of xboxs over the last couple weeks

I fired one after my first season just to try it out and then also had the new coach leave 2 years later. I was definitely able to upgrade the first coach but had a hard time finding a good replacement for the one that left. You get like 4-6 options each week of guys to hire and it changes based on the carousel. One thing I'm curious about, I hired an OC who ran a Spread system and kept my Multiple Offense playbook. I lost several simmed games early in that season where I was a clear favorite. Not sure if related, but I fired that coach again after the season and hired a coach with Multiple Offense as his scheme and haven't had that issue. Not sure if that factors into anything or if it was just a coincidence.
Was it easy to get a better coach? ISU's starting OC/DC seem like they have very little ability points compared to some I'm seeing.
Nothing can top the bug in 14 when your opponent would randomly get the ball on both possessions in overtime.
I've gone through it 3 times now, I think. So far, every offer I made was accepted. 2 of them were small school head coaches that showed interest from other small schools and still accepted my OC job.
It’s prestige of the school and prestige of the coach and the coach modifiers of both yourself and your assistants (if they have the “recruiter” trait or not)
