If you tell me I'm going to be the starter I better well be the fucking starter.
How do you fuck this up? How? Why have the whole high school portion if it doesn't fucking mean anything? If I was going to be the back up I wouldn't have committed to that team. This is a fucking video game. All I want to do is play for who I want when I want and pick whatever fucking play I want. Why is it this fucking bad? Add the story, the coach play calling mechanic, whatever you fucking want but make it work correctly and give me the option to just play as the starter from down one with a full playbook. No practice, position battles, coach trust issues, or anything other than a new game to play every week and the stupid fun of trying to win 4 Heisman trophies.
Edit: to those defending or trying to explain the game mode, its a fucking video game. If I want a super realistic sim fine. If I want to just play the game and try to break all the records without the tedious grind of all the other shit that should be fine too. The lack of choice is what the problem is.
On the not being a starter, again its a fucking video game. If you tell the number one recruit in the country that they'll star as a freshman then start them as a fucking freshman. I shouldn't have to plan shit. I shouldn't have to study anything. It's a fucking video game. Just make me the starter.
The biggest thing they should be working on is just making the fucking game work correctly. Ea is a shit company with shit employees and shit practices. I'm done. I hope ea goes out of business and the ceo is left homeless for the rest of their shit life.
