[uh-oh]

nice

i got the game working yesterday, somehow some save files got corrupted which was why i couldnt load up a game/practice/etc. but just unplugging the net and restarting worked

its pretty solid but yo, passing is way harder now. i havent played in like 5 years, but the D is ridiculous. by ridiculous i mean actually decent. i remember holding the ball and when the receivers finish their routes i'd roll right or left and the receivers would run with me, meanwhile the d would stand like statues until the ball was in the air. when playing zone i mean. but now they actually run with your receivers lol. i threw like 6 picks with flacco against the browns lmao. i'm also not sure if i'm a fan of the running game. where you randomly hit a button to break tackles. my response time is to stoned and slow to realize if i need to hit square or triangle etc. i jumped in playing all pro though i probably shouldve started slower

playing D is dope though

and in the passing games defense i lobbed a bomb to little steve smith, and used the aggressive catch thing, just holding triangle instead of tapping it and he jumped up and stole it away from the corner like a G.

so in essence i need to relearn this game. its alot more difficult than i remember

in franchise mode i just wish i had more scouting points for the draft. i think with expert scouting unlocked i could scout around 30 players fully, but the problem is it pays off to scout 1st round rated guys, because their true talent might be like 3rd or even undrafted. so basically after the first few rounds you are picking blind. i do like that they tell you though when you draft a kid its like blah blah is the 14th best player according to there overall, and you drafted him at #20 for instance i dig that.

but word i wish it was for pc so i could use cheatengine to give myself unlimited scouting points lol

trading is somewhat better too because its easier to see their interest in who you're offering, and why or why not other teams like them or not. its just clunky in the sense you cant quickly search, like if you wanna trade for a pick, the dropdown to switch between picks blocks out what they have, so you have to load in the bears fully, see they got the 9th pick, then load the browns in see they got the 7th. etc. instead of being able to see while scrolling through them.

all in all seems pretty solid though

if anyone has it for ps4 drop your gamertag thing, i don't have psn but i might get it
