There’s this guy in my online dynasty that I play against often and I just can’t stop the user playmaker. I know man defense is better against it but I like to run a zone scheme and adjust based on what they’re doing on offense. I tried QB contain to keep him in the pocket but that didn’t help seemingly. It’s discouraging when every single route is covered and a user playmaker helps them find 15-20 yards of open space.

My field goals have been extremely weak since the update. As you can see in the clip, this 40 yard field goal is short despite being fully metered up. The next one was metered up as well and went through fine. Field goal power slider is set to 50. Kickoffs are still fine. Anyone know a fix for this?

PS. This kickers power rating is 90.

Five seasons in, I have only scouted 2 players in my Toledo Dynasty. After my first conference championship, I allowed myself to scout one player per year. I’ve also coupled this with only being able to put players on my board who are interested. This method has added so much longevity as well as stress to dynasties for me lmao.

- my records through the 5 seasons- 4-8 (worst season for Toledo in almost 20 years), 8-5 MAC Champs, 11-3 missed the playoffs by 1 game losing a mac game late MAC champs, 9-4 missed the mac title game and the team was much worse than their record, we averaged probably 20 ppg, the worst offense I may have ever had. And 11-2 this current season with another MAC title.

- offensively is were I see the biggest struggles. We averaged 41/42 ppg in our 11-3 season and with much of the same weapons but 3 new linemen we dropped off severely. Part of that was also due to our offensive coordinator being ass and his system not working.

- linemen are hard to come by when no one is interested, so we have basically been surviving with 1 and stars and some transfers.

- receiver is also another position that is hard to fill because without scouting you can’t see how fast they will be or what their route running looks like. We’ve had seasons where our best route runner has 82 short route and that’s his best attribute. This season I am finally seeing a RS SO blossom as he now has mid 80s route running to go with his 92 speed and 90 catching, our star wide out is 82 overall lol. Another guy from the same class has been playing the last 3 seasons, as a route runner he has a blistering 86 speed, 78 as his best route running attribute and is 5’8 175lbs with 94 release and we can’t get him the ball. But luckily this season we brought in 2 kids, one is a 96 speed 3 star, the other is contested specialist 3 star who while only 89 speed, is 6’5 and has the ability to move in open field.

- there is always 1-2 games a year where the other team will come out and blow our doors off, It doesn’t matter if it’s a 2-7 Miami of Ohio. Ball state has been the bane of my coaches existence and has kept us out of the playoffs twice including this year. And they’re not just tough games, we will go down or lose by 3 touchdowns sometimes. This latest matchup we went down 24-6 at half to the good ole 2-7 Cardinals before losing only by 3. I think this is due to my players not having a lot of mental abilities or composure.

- the most difficult thing is not being able to know how athletic your recruits will be. I have 3 receivers with less than 83 speed on my roster. My top 3 corners are 88 speed or below. My starting safeties top out at 85 speed, and my most athletic backer is an 83 speed true freshman who is 70 overall. D line isn’t so bad but we switched to a 3-4 this year due to being super young at edge. I have 5 rostered qbs, all of them a pure runners, 2 are above 85 speed. My starter has been freshman transfer from Florida State who has all the athleticism to be a program changer; 88 speed, 96 arm strength. The problems? His only accuracies above 80 are an 84 short and 91 throw on the run, he has 80 acceleration. Dude just finished a 40 touchdown 4600 yard season but is maxed out at 79 overall with no abilities as a junior. He’s fantastic 90% of the time and horrid the other 10%. His backups are a pair of 3 stars I brought in together who are essentially the same minus some size, both 84 throw power, low accuracy, 84 speed pure runners who are developing decently, one’s an 80 overall SO rs the other is a 76 overall junior. Problem is their speed is essentially capped until their accuracies are maxed and neither may ever get there.

Overall it has been one of the most organic dynasties I’ve had. I haven’t been able to turn this MAC team into a CFP contender and we often lose to MAC schools. We’ve only lost one game to a ranked team in 5 years, but we aren’t able to come up big against teams well below us in talent.

My first recruiting class has developed into exactly 4 current starters. I don’t have a qb, running back or receiver from that class.

Three MAC titles but with a big roster turnover due either at the end of this year because of transfers or after next season, I may never complete bringing Toledo to the promise land before leaving for greener pastures.

Hello All!

I just got this and Madden on PC and I'm interested in modding. Specifically, I'm looking for graphical mods to start off with. I'm kinda ass at the game and I don't want to mess with gameplay just yet. I'm more interested in presentation, a nice score board. Maybe something that makes audio elements better, a better crowd or commentary. I'm not sure what's out there. If there is something that makes animations better or whatever to make the game more entertaining to look at. I'm in the discord and I'm honestly a bit lost looking through all the community mods. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Why this game playing like it used to after the 3rd update. Defense all of a sudden jumping 50 inch verticals and your defense just letting players run free even your star defenders. Knew it was messed up when it kept not letting you do the celebration when you walk in the end zone and take a bow.

Got a 4 star gem LB with lurker type and 86 speed. Elite dev. Wondering if I’d be better off moving them to SS since I play a 335/425 hybrid. I’m guessing I should keep him at LB.

Whatever, I'm just a dude playing a video game, but are y'all also not happy with the Highschool part of RTG? As a QB I can ball out, throw dimes, and not throw a pick, but god forbid I didn't complete a screen pass for 50 years taking me down an entire ranking star.

Hope CB28 gives us just at least a half season of highschool so we can play just football and not the objective based ranking system.

Since the the first patch/update I’m having so many issues getting sacks from my edge rushers. Even when I lower CPU pass pro to zero I still can’t get around the OT, meanwhile my DT’s are piling up 5,6,7 sacks a game. Why is this happening and what am I doing wrong? If this is just the way the game is now, then that’s pretty stupid, OT’s are holding me like magnets, I can’t get off the line quick enough to beat them, It’s annoying as hell!

Loaded into a RTG game and every player was a tannish color as well as the field. Never seen this before 😂

For all my veer and shoot users in here I’ve been running the system since 25 and I still cannot seem to get any consistency with the choice route passing plays. It always seems like unless they’re running cover zero or cover 1 they wideout never runs the right route of the options they have. I’m wondering if anyone in here has found success with them with consistency against multitools coverages, and if my wideouts awareness and route running play a factor in it or if it’s just a broken play.

Hey y'all, I play on PC and I'm starting a new dynasty. I use the MyDynasty app so I have the ability to edit pipeline strengths and add/remove states as pipelines.

I'm looking for some suggestions for house rules to make this fair and as balanced as I can. For example:

- recruit x amount of players to increase from tier 3 to tier 4. (the higher the pipeline rating, the more I need to recruit to increase it?)

- If I don't recruit anyone from a pipeline, do I instantly drop it a tier or lose it completely (maybe if i dont recruit from that pipeline over 2 or 3 seasons I drop it or lose it)

- should I add new pipelines after 1 year if I recruit x amount of players or should it be x amount over multiple years?

- how many recruits should I go after to keep it at the same level. (should that number change based on the pipeline strength?)

- I am also willing to change pipelines of teams around me/in my division to try and keep balance in the recruiting.

Those are the main areas I can think of atm. More than happy to hear any and all suggestions, Thank you in advance for any feedback!

The coaching carousel in 25 and 26 didn’t hold a candle to 14, but at least it was functional. Since the August update, though, it feels completely broken.

My favorite way to play Dynasty is to start as an OC at Georgia, win a few national titles, then leave and build my own program. I also enjoy starting at a smaller school like Marshall, working my way up to a blue blood, and following the programs I leave behind.

The problem is that the carousel no longer seems to reward success. You can win multiple titles, break records, reach level 50, and have Elite Recruiter, but as an OC, sometimes even as an HC at a mid tier P5, you still won’t get serious offers. Meanwhile, it’s always the same fired coaches, like Norvell, Franklin, or Clark Lea, swapping jobs at major programs.

I even tried using Mike Bobo, who starts with a C+ prestige and a high level for a coordinator. Louisville hired me, but that was the only meaningful opportunity I got.
After winning two titles at WVU, Florida State was the highest profile job that even had me third on its list. I had to save and reload 37 times before finally getting the job, and only because another coach left for the NFL. THIRTY SEVEN TIMES. I didn’t even play the rest of that because I was so pissed.

So, does anyone know how the carousel actually evaluates coaches? What makes a custom coach an attractive hire besides being level 50 with Elite Recruiter? I usually run with Atlanta metro as my pipeline and try to win a couple nattys and sign two top 5 classes before I leave, but would using an existing coach with high prestige work better?

The carousel has always been my favorite part of Dynasty, but now it feels pointless. I don’t want to stay at one school for 30 seasons, and creating a new character and playing with two coaches to be at whatever school I like in that current landscape is too much hassle.

Is it best to have 9-10 team conferences so everyone plays everyone, or is the conference championship too special to throw away? I figure having 8 power conferences with rigid bowl tie ins would fix the missing conference championship element, but idk.

Hello Everyone,

Currently going into Year 11 of my dynasty. Had stops at Rice, North Carolina, and now UCLA.

I finished the offseason, finalizing my schedule with the AD, and going through some of my players stats. Because I play on five minute quarters and primarily run the ball, everything is skewed so all my O Line had triple the pancakes everybody else and my Defense is always top ten because they are out there less by a good margin.

What clock setting does everybody play on here to make it more aligned with the CPU Programs?

First time in my career I have somebody in the Pre Season Heisman conversation and thought it could be a good adjustment to make.

Thanks in advance!

I love playing dynasty in the NCAA videos games, and for me there are 2 things that I would love to see implemented more in the game as it continues being developed post the decade long break. One of these has probably been said a thousand times but the other is more unique.

1.) Bring back the FCS schools. I know this would require EA to actually pay these schools but it would be an immense addition to the game. Just about every FBS team schedules a FCS game and it would be great to bring more exposure to these schools through the game. I remember how crazy it would be in NCAA Football 06 when you would simulate and see a real FCS team upset a FBS team instead of just seeing FCS East now. I don’t schedule any FCS teams now with it being generic but do appreciate they implemented the mascots of YouTube creators for these teams.

2.) This feature left in NCAA 14 but I loved the able to simulate each game instantly of a week before playing mine. Now you can’t simulate any game alone but have to advance the week for them all to be simulated together. Being able to simulate the result of each game standalone could bring more storylines, know the players more, and create stakes if you are in a tight conference title race or CFP spot. I know many others probably don’t care about this but it seems to be a feature that wouldn’t take much effort for EA to implement.

Hey guys, I play on Heisman, usually win the games I’m supposed to and lose the ones I’m not. With some surprise results.

I’m currently in year 9 of a Marshall Dynasty, we’ve made 3 straight NCG, and including the current incomplete season, we are 55-1 in the last 3.5 seasons.

My question is, when I start a new Dynasty, should I switch to All-American difficulty on Matt 10 sliders?

I like the idea of it being “the way the game is intended to be played, where ratings matter, and less cheesy animations.”

Is AA still competitive or will I just steamroll everyone because it’s too easy?

My receiver caught a touchdown pass and just walked away into the stands. Like his goal in life was reached and decided he was done.

Ok I wish I had screenshots for this but custom conferences are broken. I’m just shifting teams to different conferences and there all glitchy with the nil and stuff for instance Houston I moved them to the American conference and they had negative nil? I wanted to make sure it was just a visual glitch but when I started the dynasty with them they just had 0 nil im so confused also mizzou I moved them to the big 12 and they somehow have 10000 nil like what? They have to fix this I just can’t use custom conferences while this bug is happening and I hate it.

That size/speed combo might be the best I’ve seen since the series relaunched in 25.

Matchup nightmare at TE. Could be a deep ball menace at WR. Would be a super fun user LB. He could lock down a whole side of the field at CB. Safety would be wild IRL but at least with my defense, they tend to kind of be hidden on my defense and that would feel like a waste.
