Weird glitch in game 6. Machine or whatever benched the starters for both teams at halftime.

Saw Kohl out there at QB and felt really, really confused. Wasn't even sure who the other dudes were.
So are you gonna tell us how Kohl looked looked or are you making me wait for the press conference?

won the natty with the clones last night on varsity setting.

will bump up to AA this next season and try it again. I realized i recruited like sh*t and had a total of 14 commits. im under the scholarship limit. this next season could be.. interesting.

winning the title doesn't keep Cooper or Sama either. They transfer, i feel, no matter what.
I'm to the Big 12 Championship game against Oklahoma State (year one). Also on Varsity and I am the OC so I've only been playing the offensive plays. I'm going to hope for a decent head coaching job then up the difficulty and play both sides of the ball.

My recruiting is going well, actually. Quality but not quantity. Only 8 commits but 5 of them are gems. Hopefully grab a ton in the transfer portal.

I assume Cooper and Sama are gone. Also Will McLaughlin is high risk now too. All for Brand Exposure.

i haven't looked into it. the reason they leave is "brand recognition" but throughout the season, i dont think my brand recognition ever went up. Iowa State is a C+ in that category.

the way its supposed to go up is winning big primetime games, winning playoff games, etc.. in season 2, i scheduled P4 teams who were rated hoping wins will improve that.

fwiw those were the only 2 and now, currently, i don't have any want to transfer because of that reason. But I agree.. losing those 2 with no hope of retaining them is very, very dumb.
Did you track Sama and Cooper in the Transfer Portal portion? Where did they end up transferring to?

That's where the mass sub feature is severely missed.
I bought the regular version so I haven't played yet, but I've been reading a lot about little things like Mass subs, trophy cases, team histories, etc. not being included in the game. Seems like there were a lot of little things that were overlooked which is surprising to me given the game was in development for over 3 years and they delayed it an extra year. None of them are deal breakers for me but it stinks.

I have absolutely zero evidence to support my thoughts, but it kind of feels like they ran out of time again but were afraid to delay a second time. Feels like gameplay really got a lot of their focus right up until the end. I would expect to see some of the QOL things to return in next year's version with fewer gameplay updates.

Anyone have a weird computer lady that reads all the menu selection to them or do they just assume I'm illiterate
Turn that off in the accessibility settings. I accidentally kept it on when I first opened the game, too.

people still buy physical copies of games??
I don't know, probably not LOL. This is my first game purchase since I owned a PS4. My wife bought a PS5 when the Hogwarts game came out and she's purchased a few other games all digitally. I am not opposed to buying digitally either, it's just that I was able to save $30 buying it this way.

my first season, dominic orange did not play once. He was 2nd on the depth chart behind singleton and every time a sub would happen it was the guy who was listed as 4th on my depth chart and I think he was a made up guy with the last name Jofield?
Having the same thing happen with Orange. I'm going to mess around with some stuff to see if.i can get that corrected. Hopefully we get a patch soon

I didn't know what else to do. He was already listed as #2 behind Singleton.

They don't offer the ability to sub out certain players on certain formations, either. I even switched to a 4-3 defense and he still wasn't out there!

As I've said in here earlier, he tore his pec for me in week 7 but I kept moving forward. Injuries happen IRL too. It really shows ISU's lack of RB depth.
Especially with sanders and Norton leaving. The transfer RB isn't in the game, but Harris still is somehow
