Dynasty Impressions after 10 hour trial
I played trial and experimented with two teams Purdue and Tulsa got to year 3 playing the moments mostly. I just so I can see what’s it like to have a lot of nil and small amount of nil. So far I do like it better than last year but it still has the same problems as CFB 25 and 26 in terms of recruiting.
Positives:
- Gameplay is way better than 26. Running feels great and short yardage situations isn’t automatic stop now by CPU. Throwing feels different because you can’t bomb the CPU anymore with 80 throw power QB. Having a pocket passer really made a difference in throwing.
- I really like NIL you can feel progress once you get better as a school and makes it more challenging in recruiting as lower tier program. It also makes each school unique on what you can do at each school. I always want football manager type of game.
- Sim engine has gotten a lot better just from using 2 different schools that use 2 different playbooks Tulsa(Power Spread) and Purdue (Air Raid) before in the other games if you didn’t have the right sim playbook your offense would go no where when simming the moments or the season.
- Game looks amazing on PC and no problems at all which I appreciate since most PC games have terrible PC ports
Negatives:
- NIL made CPU recruiting so much worst compared to previous games. Before there would be like at least 5 schools going after a prospect. Now you are lucky if one school is going after the same prospect. So now lower tier schools in Power 4 conference get worst so much faster. Baylor is 60s overall after only 3 seasons
- 3 stars ask for so much NIL like top 3 stars ask for 100+ NIL and when you get them they are like high 60s normal dev prospects and for small schools it’s problem cuz recruiting NIL is so important in what prospects to use it on. There should def be more low NIL 3 stars
- EA are greedy bastards. They took out fast and fastest coach exp and made normal so slow while increasing the amount of points to upgrade each tier in coaching tree. 100% they want you to pre order to get more coach points to upgrade coaching tree faster or get other editions.
- Last part some characters are models are straight ugly. For some reason they either gave players skinny heads with big bodies or big heads with skinny bodies.
Overall I really like the game I rate it a 7 or 8 out of 10 just based the 10 hours I played. What are you guys impressions so far?
