I understand today's generation loves to do the ultimate team and spend money to play other people online, but as a fan of the game from back in the PlayStation 2 days, I'm extremely disappointed. The AI ability when facing the CPU is extremely broken and doesn't even make the game realistic at all. There's no difficulty level that you can play the computer and it's even remotely real. If you play on Freshman you blow the CPU out with no resistance, and anything higher gives too much help to the CPU. For instance if my receiver has 99 speed and 99 stamina as a 93 overall deep threat, there's no excuse for a 73 overall corner with 89 speed to run stride for stride and lock my corner down, that would never happen in real life. On the flip side my man to man corner with 99 speed shouldn't be getting burnt by a receiver with 90 speed on a go route when he was already 8 yards off the line of scrimmage...All for the sake of making the game "harder", your not making the game harder, your making it cheat. Also user input reading is retarded, if you can't make the computer choose plays based on the tendencies you built into the coaches then quit saying the game is realistic. If someone just so happens to be a football genius and can crack your code of what your computer will call then so be it, don't cheat with user input reading and then brag like you made the computer tougher when all you did was debuff the player. Also the recruiting in dynasty mode sucks terribly, I'm not sure what algorithm y'all use to make recruits decide their school, but it feels like you have secret algorithms in it to make certain ones choose a certain program no matter how much recruiting you do, and if that's the case that's unfair to the experience of us players because again no player is gonna have let's say Ohio State as his number one interest for 6 weeks and then magically decide to commit to the 4th team he was interested in, whom you also happened to blow out when you played them. Also it's extremely dumb that once a recruit verbally commits that's the end of recruiting them because in real life they have until national signing day to make their decisions and it has happened a lot in the past where someone verbally commits to one school and then changes by national signing day. Honestly reading what I'm complaining about, it can all be wrapped up as please get back to making games for the fun and experience and not about the money you can make, put as much time into the game modes that don't require online or someone to spend money to stay competitive
