I've played a few games now. Here is my thoughts:

User FG power needs to be higher. I played with a 84ovr, 87 kick power kicker and on a 46yrd FG, with full power, it landed 1yrd short of the back of the endzone. Maybe make this 55-60?

CPU RB ability is a little too high. One of the games, I had the CPU average almost 2 broken tackles a carry. Bump this down to 75 or 80

The more I think about it, the more I think EA goes about kicking attributes the wrong way.

Almost all D1 kickers can kick a 50 yard FG (distance wise). There should be accuracy attributes for FG ranges. 0-29 = x; 30-39 = x, 40-49 = x, 50+ = x. It would make longer FG's harder for the good kickers especially since most of them have 90+ acc, and that one Lump Accuracy attribute would not exist

It's laughable that these lower schools kickers can't even kick a 40yarder

In my experience, the default setting usually produces a ridiculous amount of 57-62 yd field goals from the better kickers. I haven't tested it this year (I was using his FG power settings)

Feel free to tweak the sliders and practice some field goals and post a better setting.

Another thing that I am running into is injuries are ridiculous. I just finished my first season and Braxton was injured 4 different times. On top of that, Guiton was lost for the season. I was using Seims for most of the time at the end of the season. I know that kind of stuff can happen, but it wasn't just a couple of season ending injuries. Braxton would start a game, then get injured for the rest of the game by half. Sometimes he would get injured for 2 weeks. Come back, then get injured again. I believe he finished 4 games the entire year despite starting in the majority. I don't even run him constantly.

Why don't they have sliders for injuries?

I think jwins posted something about this earlier, but this is hilarious. How the hell does crap like this still happen?

A Heisman Winner Gets His Close-Up?but Without the Right Music
Owen Good
As a private-school doormat for decades to two big-boy conferences, until last year most people couldn't name one guy on the Baylor football roster. Even if Robert Griffin III won the Heisman Trophy in 2011, it didn't make the school's fight song any more recognizable last week. Maybe that's why so few noticed that when NCAA Football 13 released?with Griffin himself on the cover?the Bears didn't take the field to "Old Fite."

But longtime NCAA Football players can hear "Generic #7," or whatever the heck that is, a mile off. It's from the suite of songs dating back to the series' Create-a-School feature from nearly a decade ago. I was once told a Russian military band was hired to record them and, truth be told, it sounds like it. I can't imagine what it sounds like to a Baylor alumnus or fan whose school has gotten a nationwide glamour shot on a video game cover, the likes of which it may never see again.

Baylor isn't the only one to have its fight song drop out of the game in the last year. Most notably, "Texas Fight," the University of Texas' song, said goodbye to all the rest. Anything good for Texas is good for A&M too, so the Aggies evidently held out their War Hymn and, one supposes, "Noble Men of Kyle." Speaking of SEC teams with a Texas inferiority complex, Arkansas' fight song fell off the back of NCAA Football's motorcycle during the off-season, too.
