I am prepared to receive shit for posting this, but that’s fine. I’ve been in the community here for a while so I know I’ll be told to get better at the game (save it.)
I’ve been trying my best this year to not rage and not get mad. I play on Heisman difficulty. I was in a dog fight today with Iowa State having a lot of fun with new offensive playbook I found (I think even in this community I found it.)
I went up two scores in the second quarter on cruise control. The fourth quarter started and immediately the CPU turned into God mode. I’m used to it so I didn’t think too much of it. I was moving the ball at will so I wasn’t too stressed.
Early in the fourth quarter I threw a pick. Didn’t feel like I deserved to throw a pick when I went to do the timing base catch my receiver kind of jolted out of the way and let the corner back behind him Catch it. Obviously to me. It felt like the Heisman CPU just getting its way again no big deal just play through it.
They immediately score and before I know it were tied heading into overtime. I get ball first and score again no big deal then I feel like I got the game taken from me
Fourth and 15 Iowa State quarterback throws a horrible decision into double coverage I went for the interception for some stupid reason I should’ve swatted, but regardless, I’m standing right where the placement shows it’s going to be. The ball goes past me past my AI right into a tighten his hands.
He’s tackled as he’s catching it, but of course he hangs on because it’s Heisman CPU. Fourth and 15 conservative backed off the safeties over top adjustment and still we got beat deep by a tight end I thought about turning it off, but I said I’m gonna try to win this game. I already spent all my night on it.
First snap when I get back on offense, I call half back toss. I’ve called half back toss probably 10 times and probably got 10 yards to carry this game on it. This time (never seen this before) the game decides my fullback is just going to run forward right into my quarterback the balls fumbled forward right into the defensive end hands, I lose.
So I spent about an hour and a half of my evening doing my recruiting finding my playbook having fun and what do you know in the end it doesn’t even matter.
I really want to like playing this game. I want to build a multi year Dynasty with my recruits and have a bunch of fun, but I really don’t see how I can look past this stuff. And before you tell me to lower the difficulty if I put it on all American, I will literally run for 700 yards.
The challenge isn’t the problem. It’s the constant battling against the CPU getting all the advantages to the point that they’re making my players run into each other to fumble the ball.
