Quoting for the emphasis on the amount of WR 5*'s. Anyone else seen something like this?

I just started my second year in dynasty. The top 15 recruits are mainly WRs with a couple HBs and ATHs thrown in.

Also, my highest rated recruit I signed turned out to be a 3* punter. He came in as an OVR 86. I also signed a 4* ATH (WR) who came in as an OVR 66.

After reading the thread about post-patch visual issues I thought I'd try it out. I was just expecting to see some visual differences but was pretty amazed at how differently the game actually played.

Psychic Linebackers


I've played 5 games since taking out the patch and the passing game was immediately more effective. There were far less passes batted down from linebackers out of position to make a play. This was the case in both games vs. the cpu and another user. Overall it was easier to make all throws to all parts of the field. The game still felt pretty defensive, but the fear of linebackers intercepting balls they had no business being able to play on was certainly gone.

Diving Catches


I remember seeing a lot more of these in the demo than what I have seen in the retail release. After taking out the patch I saw 5 of them in 5 games which is 4 more than I saw in about 20 games "post patch."


If I have to choose between a game too offensive or too defensive, I'll take the defensive side. However, at default the passing game is hindered by linebackers swatting and intercepting too many balls that they are not in position to. This pre-patch gameplay may turn out to be too easy to move the ball, it's just odd that there was such a huge difference. I recommend anyone that has had issues with the passing game to try it out.


Obviously playing like this will eliminate online modes, so don't bother if you are involved in that portion of the game. Since this was a release day patch, most player will have never even experienced this..or seen the sparkling tOSU helmets.

heh, beat Miami(OH) 41-7 for my first national title...

damn, just looked at the stats for the season, Berry had 1,578 yds and Rod Smith had 1,509 (Berry missed about the last 5 games of the season including title game)

also had Braxton break Troy Smith's record of passing TDs in a season

Just played and won my first game 56-7. A few things

1. The LBs when swatting the ball are about 5 yards off the line of scrimmage, come on now, not enough time to do that as a LB

2. I threw a fade route to Posey, and instead of jumping to try and catch it his animation was down at his ankles and the defenders went up high and picked it off. Makes no sense?

Just tried to advance and got this msg:

Online Dynasty is currently experiencing heavy traffic. You are currently 30th on the list to upload your dynasty after it has finished simulating. You may cancel at any time, but this will move you to the back of the line.

Still can't advance. I've been trying for two days with about five different sessions.

I havent really got into dynasty mode yet

but in recruiting is there still 5* players that should be 3* (or in some cases 2*)

like ATHs who are slow as shit and have no skills and no positions

or WRs who are <6' with low 80s speed and not so great receiving skills

Yeah it wouldn't let me join the dynasty. Is it corrupt?

Yeah I'm thinking it might be. My buddy said they know about the roster edit glitch (denard = balanced w/ name, scrambler without). Does anyone know about a time table?


I think it might be. Not sure why, but that's one reason to do a test dyn I suppose.
