Wait, why would your playbook affect your scheme? It's just defines what plays you can pick not how your team is built.

The way I'm reading Luke's comments tit seems like it's the other way around? Scheme is locking in the playbook?

But you can manually change your book before every game

So then...what's the issue? I haven't played with connected careers as a coach at all, just as a backup player. So garbage that way.

 

[Sanjuro]

So, basically we're heading into the OF with a created coach who has access to any of the available playbooks at any given time?

You said there was an option so they don't get fired as well in this mode?

 

[levious]

Does scheme ultimately affect what is on the field at all? Because you can still choose your playbook before the game.

is the scheme the thing that affects a player's ovr relative to your team?

 

[TheCrow]

The way I'm reading Luke's comments tit seems like it's the other way around? Scheme is locking in the playbook?

That didn't happen in my online CCM as a coach. My scheme was only affected by my positional player preferences. Playbook had no effect since you can pick whichever you want before the game.

is the scheme the thing that affects a player's ovr relative to your team?

Yes.

 

[Sokantish]

This is all getting so confusing

The scheme has positive/negative effects on the ratings of your players depending on what scheme they fit into.

Yeah, so why is there an issue with the playbook? Tell me what I need to be angry about!

Just on the ovr for that position. Your DE doesn't magically lose speed or awr if you switch him to OLB

Players actually do lose AWR for most position switches, but that's about it.

it would make scouting the draft and free agents difficult, just focus on the attributes that are important to you.

Why?

 

[Sokantish]

Because there's a stat for how well the player would fit in your team, so I guess it'd weigh down his OVR?

 

[TheCrow]

Luke might have been playing an offline CCM instead of an online one. I know the online CCM was updated to fix some issues, maybe that was one of the bugs.

Because there's a stat for how well the player would fit in your team, so I guess it'd weigh down his OVR?

Maybe now everyone will find out that OVR doesn't mean shit. It's all about specific ratings that actually matter on the field.

Right, but that makes sense. It isn't really addressing Luke's "bug"

 

[ph33nix]

I wish you could share the same team in connected careers player mode. Coach mode I get it but I want to be the Clayton to someone's Marino

I hope they patch that in

That would actually be kind of cool but there is no way that's a patch. That will be the selling point for a future iteration.

Randy moss is an 84 rated beast

 

[CB3]

I was just thinking Dallas Strong would have been an even better WR in this game. He was like 6'4 and his spectacular catch was so high.

 

[TheCrow]

Randy moss is an 84 rated beast

Same with Noel Devine. Too bad all the fast free agent HBs fumble every other play. Need to wait for the draft or make a trade.

 

[Sanjuro]

Anyone want to play a game?

 

[levious]

everyone's favorite attribute.


And preseason is a pain in the ass to play. It auto subs in your backups after first quarter, but then that ends up swapping your place kicker and punter, unless you actually have backups for those.

 

[eznark]

The only issues I have with simming preseason is that in the past couple seasons it seems like injuries (and their severity) is cranked way, way up for sims.

Lamichael James is available!

For the right price!

Ps

If we sim preseason I'll turn injuries off

Yep, Lechler missed like a 20yd FG in one of my pre-season games. That happened last year too, I hoped they had fixed it

Yup, the special teams subs are especially ridiculous. It's funny to get a full kick meter punt that goes maybe 12 yards.

 

[Sanjuro]

Nobody's around for a game? :'(

 

[Sokantish]

I could be around for a game

I'm online right now playing CPU. Just send me an invite.

EA: It says "EA" not "QA"

 

[Future PhaZe]

Roddy Whites the best receiever I've gone up against in the game so far. Anyone agree? One handed catches everywhere.

 

[CB3]

Randy Moss

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Randy Moss

Lol so you've never played the lions or texans

 

[CB3]

I expect those guys to beast. Randy Moss shouldn't be breaking tackles like Earl Campbell

 

[eznark]

Wes Welker trucked his way through two tackles and a long score last time I played the Patriots, so Randy Moss should be pretty much untackleable.

GG, that game was so frustrating... I could never stop you on third down.

Yeah, normally I always get the stat telling me how terrible I'm doing at 3rd conversions. I've been experimenting different things on offense. Starting to find a better balance in this game.

Mainly trying to get better at kicking, 60YD FGs are a no-go.

Unfortunately not in the game. Ea has his injury rating too high

I want to do pre-season. It'll help us get a feel for what our teams are like in OF and how everything works outside of the games themselves. Plus, it delays the start of the season so maybe we can get the patch before week 1.

 

[LiveWire]

I'm sure most of you already bought or were considering NFL Game Rewind this year now that they have the All-22 film option. But if that wasn't enough, the Game Rewind tablet app allows you to telestrate over the plays. :O

I want to play preseason, too. I also feel like any patch they make will not affect already underway CCMs - just a cynical hunch
