Is anyone else having a problem with the backup RB stats not saving?

I always used two RBs because the wear and tear system is unrealistic as the season goes on, but today my starter got hurt and his backup rushed for 180 yards. However after the game, his stats were gone. I never noticed this before today? Has anyone else noticed this?

Cut players showing up on Transfer portal

Idk if they made an update or something but i just had several players that i had encouraged to transfer, show up on the transfer portal. I went to go scout them and then realized I just cut their bum asses! Haha.

Idk if this is new but it seems like they always just disappeared from the face of the earth or ended up on random rosters.

THE SWITCH STICK IS EVIL LOL (wow)

With the patches & a new slider set I got from OS the game has been more fun than ever….but one thing kills me almost more than anything else

THE DAMN SWITCH STICK

Look at this play, I think I’m going to get blocked by the center, try to do a pass rush move & huh…where’d I go. Oh perfect I went to a random ass DB that gets scored on (and this happened twice this game)

I like close games, and even like how it gets harder in the playoffs but I hate manufactured close games because of stuff like this

I’ve even changed the setting to Disable Switch stick in the main menu but it doesn’t translate to my dynasty

So my questions

  1. Is there anything I’m doing wrong to turn switch stick off?
  2. Does anyone use the switch stick & think is a net positive or helps them be better on defense?

About to start a YouTube channel.

Aye guys it’s Lewy. I’ve been wanting to create content for gaming for a while now like some let’s plays or just some fun playthroughs… was thinking about maybe a NCAA 25 dynasty or Assassins creed mirage playthrough. Or Red dead 2. Anyone interested in watching? Suggestions?

Players swapping abilities when changing positions?

Has anyone else had an issue where when you change a player’s position in the off season to check for abilities and then change them back, players will swap abilities depending on where they are on the depth chart?

My current qb has magician, mobile resistance, option king, extender, and off platform. I had a freshman recruit come in with Sleight of hand, step up, dot, and pull down and when i changed the freshman’s position and then changed them back, my current qb and freshman qb completely swapped abilities. This isnt the first time ive seen this. Is it just visual? Anyone know how to fix or prevent this?

Playoff glitch question

I'm doing a CFB 25 save where in the first season no BIG 12 champ made the playoff. Is the only way to stop this glitch to start a new save?

Just pulled off this comeback, I was down 45-14 at half. I play on Heisman, I benched my starting QB at half. I'm in the year 2029 and this is my best start to a season as HC of Northwestern (3rd year)

Offensive Line Upgrades

I’m in year one of a Tulsa dynasty, and decided to try out a new strategy. As we know Pass Protection can be problematic, especially on Heisman. I find the speed rushers eat me alive a lot of the time unless I’m throwing drags or quick outs etc.

My O Line had one guy rated around 79-80 OVL and the rest were really 70-75 guys. I decided to overlook everything except Pass Block Finesse, as I am using the Run and Shoot playbook.

Results have been good. We’re 5-2, I’m getting time in the pocket, and players are improving.

My line are mostly pass protectors. Starters PBF Ratings of 84/82/80/80/79. The two youngest guys overalls were 71 and 68, and they have both improved 2-3 overall. For those who don’t know how upgrades work, the XP coins get spend in season on the next available cheapest upgrade. So for these two guys, the two ipgrades have given both +7/8 each for the run block attributes, and both a very serviceable players. By overall, they probably started the year as my 8th and 9th best lineman, but by ignoring that, the protection I get is just so much better.

Other thing to note is that only one of the five is playing their actual position. This is how I built it out.

First, identify the 5 highest PBF ratings, then

C - highest combo of Strength and Awareness

G - two highest Rated run blockers remaining. More athletic one goes to RG, as I pull to the left often

T - two remaining players. Best Pass Blocker plays next to the weaker pass blocking Guard

Hope this helps someone, figured it was worth a share, as I tried it out by chance, and was blown away by the improved protection despite having low OVL players on the field.

Coming back since the first few weeks of launch

Mainly interested in resuming dynasty, has anything changed? Have they fixed some bugs to make switching conferences, recruiting more smooth?

Is there a way to stop mass subs in blowouts?

The cpu will automatically mass sub in the second string offense and defense and this has caused a lot of players to blow their redshirt. I mass sub the starters back in when I notice the second team come on the field but the starters won't go back in until after the play. So redshirted players will be in on only one play in the game and that counts toward their games played. Is there any way to disable this? Is there any work around? In blowout games i like to sub in backups on the depth chart myself.

Running back injuries

I know everybody here always talks about the sim engine and how teams always come back, that never happens to me but this happens almost every single time I sim. Up 41-7 at half vs FCS team. Decide to Sim the rest of the game. RB1, 2, and 3 all go down with injuries. This happens almost every time I sim too

Easy Defense

Thanks in advance. Can anyone recommend an easy defense for a one-star team or a defense that's easy to understand?

How did this game get worse after 10 years?

It doesn’t make any sense.

Passing? Broken. Every DB is an NFL hall of famer with Jerry Rice hands and Olympic verticals.

Blocking? Horrible.

Catching? Makes no fucking sense. It hits your guy in the hands and he somehow drops it cause the defender is within 5 ft.

I could keep going but this is just sad. The game is so shit.

Best Dynasty settings for newbies

Best Dynasty settings for newbies that don't want to go 16-0 every darn year..

Year 1

  • All American (choose 3 games to play in Varsity)

Year 2

  • All American (2 games on Varsity)

Year 3 (Your team should be 88-90 overall and as competitive as anyone else)

  • Heisman (2 games All American)

Year 4

  • (Heisman, 1 game All American)

Year 5

  • Heisman all the way. You've had 4 years to rebuild and establish a culture.

I normally start with a 2 or 3 star and I just like the journey from struggling with CPU first couple of seasons to completely dominating in every phase. In Year 10 now, went undefeated 4 years straight with TCU (now in the SEC) before finally falling to 5 star hoarding Oregon.

Vandy or Indiana

I’m going to start a college football 25 dynasty and I need help deciding between these 2 teams in the title. Which one would be harder. Which coaching tree should I pick?

Hail Mary to win the game as I was facing relegation in Online Road to the CFP: Arch Manning edition

We were down two and in field goal range, but I ended up getting sacked on the second to last play. Only time left for a Hail Mary… back of the end zone lol
