Running video games (and consoles) thread

Please add TCU to my possibles, very fun, maybe moreso than NC State.

 

Anyone else getting this issue or am I doing something wrong? Trying to play Ultimate Team and it keeps saying there is a gap in my roster at the WR position, but I just checked it. The WR spot is filled.

 

Haven't done much with Ultimate Team yet. Think the only thing I did was open my first pack of cards.

 

My first crack at it will be tonight after deadline. By Thursday, I should have a pretty good feel for who I want, or at least a short list.

 

I toyed around with the tutorials yesterday and really liked the movement, the hot route ability, the user catch, the read option stuff. I don't want to start my dynasty until the named rosters are done at Operation Sports. So it'll be a day or two. But it definitely feels better than '12.

One thing I noticed in the game settings is you can adjust both your offensive and defensive ability vs. the CPU, something you couldn't do in '12. I was ridiculously good on defense but struggled some on offense in that game, so I knew if I got to 14 points I'd generally win. I'd love to be able to make life tougher for myself defensively at AA level, so that'll be a nice feature.

 

I definitely don't want to see it go any higher. I'd argue for lower, actually, but don't really care enough to make a passioned argument.

 

Speaking of difficulty, what difficulty levels do we play on in the online dynasty? Also, if anyone finds playbooks they like, please share.

 

We had done All-American 5 minute quarters. I would be opposed to lowering the limit for teams.

Is there a custom playbook option this year?

 

I seem to recall reading that there was.

 

Interesting. Does anyone have any qualms about using custom playbooks in the dynasty? I don't see why there would be .. .

 

Other thing to throw out there: I'd be curious to hear people's recruiting strategies. Things are vastly changed from the last NCAA I owned (10)

 

FYI: If you download the roster from PS3 user "BearsNVA," it's pretty darn accurate, at least in terms of players and skills. Maybe the hometowns aren't right, but I couldn't care less about that. Just want the names in the game. Coaches are all named as well.
