EA doesn’t like the Huskies

So… Ten years of waiting, worth it…NCAA football is back as fun as hell. Sim the first season of Fisch’s tenure w/ apt redshirts in place and logical area recruiting and EA has them going 5-7. Losses to E Michigan, Michigan, Indiana, Rutgers, SC, UCLA, O.
Wins: FCS NW, Wazzu, NW, @ Penn St, @ Iowa
Recruiting 20 4&5* targets from the west footprint, 3 committed… 14 committed to Oregon… Btw O had a whopping 35 commits, and lost in NCAA semis: Knight is in the game!
Demond Williams is a freaking stud QB! Keep playing UW gets inherently better in years 2-3

The game fucking sucks and the sim feature is broken
Georgia is going 5-7 in some models
Losing to Eastern Michigan but beating Penn St during their White Out game is impressive
Sounds realistic
My thoughts on video games:
I remember the sim being super flawed in the games back in the day with exactly the thing of losing to Eastern Michigan in Seattle but then winning at Penn State.
We are in such a sad state of off season natty shit that I'm pretty sure the scores of players on this game is already declaring who wins it all next year.
As long as you can still get a good jerk in during, why does the sim accuracy matter?
I have no expectations for this game. It scratches an itch until the season starts. Although we? have some pretty good 60 min condensed replays from the last two years as well faggy wink.
You got that right, boss.
nobody that posts here likes the huskies, hth.
Someone got this UW vs UO 2024 simulated game correct tho:
Are we really caring about recruit / player ratings from a videogame made by EA sports? Even NBA 2k (which sucks too but is some how better then Madden/NCAA) fucks up ratings
Who gave these nerds so much power to make you so mad about something so meaningless?

@bruce is pacing himself.
Pros: it's about 90% the same as the NCAA 2001 game in terms of controls and how everything feels. You can be successful with just running the same core stuff from that game and can ignore some of the newer/more technical stuff that you'd have to slog through getting right first. Looking at the controls, some of the button descriptions don't make enough sense/don't have enough context to wtf they do. So being able to just jump in and ignore them was good.
Team ratings didn't seem to matter as much as the "star attributes" and just getting the ball into those players hands. Then again I played Stanford, WSU, Beavlet, and Minnesota.
Cons: RPO controls suck and that's like half the default Washington playbook. Jonah Coleman is by far the best player and there's just a few inside zone plays for him and the AI wants Rogers to let it rip.
Anyone who has played games like Alan Wake and Resident Evil 4RE/Village with ray tracing on are not going to think this game's graphics are any good. The crowds in the stadium looks pretty bad.
EA is gay
After 2 seasons in dynasty where I rage clicked/mashed through all of the weekly recruiting tasks just to get to the games, I think I'm done with this already.
Second season was the National Championship victory where I drew (and this is why this game is so fucking stupid):
Kansas State →Liberty → Florida → Oregon in the title game where even though I won, Dante Moore was an absolute God.
Ryan Otton threatened to transfer both seasons even though he was the absolute star and most productive player in my offense.
Back to games where people actually had to try to get great reviews, like Conscript.
I’m 10 years in.. Won 4 NC’s w/ UW and aTm w/ stops @ Tejas and TD Jesus. Btw recruiting to ND is fuck all, I recommend never coaching job there. My take, recruiting is broke as shit all together and style of play is way to important of a factor. Guys leave if you dip under 250 yds avg passing for the season.
Oregon has had the #1 or #2 ranked classes in all but one of those 10 years in my dynasty. Despite losing records in 4 and never winning a natty. Oh and the last patch/update was exclusive to Oregon’s uniforms update and stadium. Well 90% of it, no gameplay or bug fixes, despite a ton. If the AI wants to score your not stopping it
I wouldn’t want to play a greased up AI
I just wouldn’t
Yeah I didn't bother to learn recruiting properly, at least how you should be allocating your time, and soon enough every week 1-2 players are verballing to WSU, Colorado State, obviously Oregon/SC etc and then it's just a tedious thing of going and getting new propspect to replace those positions and doing the same shit to get their attention.
Is there no offline mode to just play through a season with the stock rosters and see hmif you can get it hr cfp? You lose Rogers and Coleman after the first season and then I barely care anymore.
sounds like deboner’s kind of recruiting
When you start it you choose which aspects your coach is great at and I chose 'scheming' and 'culture' or some shit and obviously didn't choose recruiting so yes it was exactly like a deboner campaign.
