My 6th INT in my Fresh year(in 5 straight games, on All-American), I will post in a few mins. Still kinda disappointed there is no CB XP packs. Nevermind, I just saw the first defensive pack after 9 weeks. Cant afford it, but nice to see.
My next games is against Texas Tech so there is a good chance of extending streak.
Just got my 7th INT(in 6 straight games with at least 1 INT) against
Just almost lose to a unranked school(Texas is rated #2) because I failed to get my 8th INT. The play was going to perfectly well, It was a Deep Corner pass in the endzone and I had a deep coverage responibilty. The QB threw a pickable pass, but I pressed Y to early and gave up a TD that almost beat us. It was a over-confidence mistake
I got my 8th INT of the season in the 4th Q where we were losing by 6 and which sparked a comeback win. At that moment, I wouldnt of cared if we would of lost and NC hopes would go faded. I am currently tied the School record of INTs in a season with 2 games before bowl season
My RTG RB after 9 games in the second season, has 2000 yards and 20 TDs. With the ability to change plays, I lead the nation in Attempts(whitch is something that I could never say in previous years). I dont feel bad doing it because the current QB is Fresh/Soph. We are 8-1 but not ranked, even though we beat 3 or more ranked teams. I am a lock for Heisman.
I dont plan to staying past my junior year.
Next post will be about my QB
My QB team is 3-0. We(Utah) face USC next. The only gripe about pro-style team/5 min quarters is that I only throw 13-20 attempts.
I am depeserately waiting for a speed boost pack. I have a high enough ACC to scramble with success, but not the speed to dominate.
Next post will be about CB or WR. I am also wait desperately waiting for a Man/Zone Cov boost for my CB
End of Freshman year for my CB, won the NC. Didnt win any awards. But, I did set the school record for INTs in a season with 10 INTs. We had #1 Defense, INTs, Def Red Zone %, and least points allowed. I was 2nd in the nation in INTs. I had 40 Tackles
Next will be about WR
My WR ended his freshman season with 44 Catches, 698 Yards, and 9 TDs. Freshman All-American
My DE in his first start(after 4 or 5 weeks) had 3 sacks against USC.
My RB missed out on the Heisman despite having 2300+ yards and 23+ TDs. I think was because we lost 3 straight games leading to Bowl Season. Plus I have been getting injuried alot.I got shut down in 2 games having only 100 yards combined against lowly-rated teams. My Jr year will be my Final year for my RB, so Heisman is biggest goal.
I think it will be very tough to win the Heisman with my RB, regardless of stats. I get the carries and I very consistent. But the fact that Im on Syracuse and that we will most likely not go undefeated(because we will not be ranked with a 9-3 record or lower). The QB who won had 3300 yards and 43 TDs, but I think his team was highly rated.
I think it will be slightly easier to win it with my QB. because I play in a great Conference, have great weapons. But with only 5 min quarters, I will be tough to get the attempts and TDs. Even though I can scramble with success, I barely scramble with only 70 speed
IMO, Lineplay/Interaction is one of the reasons I why Dline/3-4 OLB is my least favorite positions to play in RTG. I dont know whether only having 71 ACC as a DE, but I cant really chase anyone down. I dont like some of the animations. Especially, the one where I shed the block but get in to an animation where It looks like he failed a hit stick attempt when I push turbo. The constant cut-blocks/low blocks and sliding.
I am already thinking of the teams I want to go to in Madden in SS mode. I cant really remember being excited to import RTG into SS, beside first year. I didnt play SS in 2 years. But when I did play I just used current rookies because imports would come in SO low and it would take time to progress. My Rule will be since we auto-start will be to go to a team with a player no higher than 85 at current position.
So,
RB- IND and MIA. I really want to go to IND, so much that I might walk-on to Colts. My RB is a every-down back.
QB- MIA, WASH, and ARI. Most likely WASH because they have a ton of WRs now and a passing O.
WR- DEN, CAR, STL. Probably most likely want to Go to CAR or STL to become #1 WR for a young QB
CB- HOU, IND, DET. I want to go to Lions because of need and QBs in division
Having the ability to Hot Route and Audible makes playing QB so much funner. I am able to exploit the defense more and have a high comp %. It is rare for me to have over 300 yards, unless I face a bad secondary, but I do have a high %. I went from passing 61% in Fresh year to 73% this year. Most of my passes are short passes, so I will fit a West Coast O in Madden.
I only avg 15-27 passes(depending on how many scrambles I take). Since I have a RB Heisman, Walker, Walter Camp, and Maxwell candidate, I dont like to take any carries away from him. But since he is a JR, I hope he leaves for the draft. So, I can change the play alot and AVG 20-30 Attempts per game.
Playing as a WR isnt as fun as I expected it to be. My QB is 97 rated with 95 THA, but he consistently makes horrible throws when Im open, Pro-Style O wasnt a good choice with RB getting 22-30+ carries a game
It seems unless have a underneath route or a blown coverage or break off a route, I wont get pass thrown to me. A ton of Lobs from the QB. Just played a where the RB got 40 carries
If Superstar mode is like it was previous years concerning drafting, I would be able to deal with it. Which is beginning no higher than 3rd round pick. My RTG players would fit that mold. A every-down RB that broke a ton of records(probably not Heisman) in a run-heavy Pro style O, but in a weak conference. A balanced QB that won a NC and played in Pro-Style O and had a great Comp %, but take a ton of sacks, forces passes, and had great talent around him(good/bad thing). A Balanced WR with great speed, hands, toughness, and leaping abilty. But under-performed, calls for alot of passes, Doesnt run the routes correctly. Cover CB who is a great playmaker and shut down corner and can tackle, but loses focuses time-to-time, falls for PA too much, takes bad angles to ball carriers.
I can actually say I cant wait to try out Superstar mode.
My RB just got shut down 23-47 in a bowl game. Recently I have been getting shut down for 70 yards or less. Ive been getting the carries, but cant do anything. I cant even get past the line of the scrimmage. It seems like the dLine get off their block as soon as I get near them. They blitz every time I run. I have auto-sprint off and I dont even have time to push turbo. I am still using the same difficulty(AA), but have recently lowered the User Run Blocking and ability sliders. I might raise the Run blocking back up. It would be something If I was getting shut down by great defenses, but I am getting shut down by unranked teams.
I am starting my JR, which will be my last year.
Just won the NC with my QB for Utah. I had my best game ever with a 21-31 340 1 TD in the NC. The RB for our team won the Heisman. I ended up with 3474 yards and 26 TDs for 72% and 558 rush yards 6TDs. So I ended up with 4000+ total yards and 32 TDs. I
I will enter my JR year, I plan to stay for SR year. I dont expect a Heisman, but a ton of Good QBs will leave for the Draft, so there is a chance. I might lose my Heisman RB, but backup had 500 yards. I will pass more if the RB goes. I will scramble more. I finally got to 80 Speed. It is rare that a Speed boost comes up. I have 2 great WRs and hopefully my TE doesnt declare(had 1000 yards 10 TDs). So I have weapons to throws, so I will Audible more.
My QB is the early fav for Heisman, wasnt on list at all. TE stayed and have 2 WRs, all over 90. But not only did my Heisman RB(JR) left, his backup(who was good) left too. The current start is 84 and is a power RB. So, I will definitely pass way more.The RB might only get 800+ yards. Great Oline. I will have a GREAT year
IF you look at my WRs and TE career stats(2 years), They look like great single seasons stats. A ton of QBs had as many completions than I had attempts(227).But with our top 2 RBs going, I will pass 30+ a game. First 2 years we set up the PA pass. Now I will set up the short runs. Even though I could change the plays, I rarely did. Our RBs were great. I audibled sometimes,mostly line shifts. Now I will do it alot, Mainly to call a Run play then Audible to a Pass.
Heisman is a possibility now
I have 2 RTGs in JR year. I have 2 RTGs in Soph year, and 1 in Fresh. The only RTGs I will do 4 years is QB and CB. My rotation is RB,QB, DE, CB, and WR, in that order. I dont play a the same player when I play RTG. So, When I play CB, I will play WR next even if I have a great game. because it keeps it fresh.
I have alot more vids to post, probably late tonite. I have to sort through games to find some vids later tonite
There was a very nice play by my QB, but I forgot what team it was against. I will look for it in the afternoon
I will walk on to each team because I dont want to start over someone great.
My every down RB currently is in JR(final year) with Syracuse breaking all schools records. But no Heisman.
My Balanced QB is in his JR at Utah and will stay all 4 years. I plan to have a breakout JR and SR year with Heisman RB and backup Rb leaving and have 2 WRs & TE over 90+.
My Shutdown CB is in his Soph year at Texas and will stay all 4 years. I will break Texas career INT record before end of Soph year.
My All-Around WR in 2nd year at ARK, will leave after JR year. I am underperforming, but I am avg 20+ yards a catch and in a Run-heavy O.
I am not finished any RTG yet because I like to rotate between each position.
After early FA signings, I know which team I am walking on to.
RB- INDY. With Peyton at QB, I should be able to get good yards. I will be the every down back.
QB- WASH. I will be the starter over Beck even if there was position battles. WASH has 6 WRs with 90+ Speed and a TE to work with. So I should be able to put up good numbers.
WR- I am torn between CAR and STL. With CAR I will be Cam's #1 target and free up coverage for S.Smith. With STL I will be Sam Bradfords main target in a pass happy offense with J.McDaniels at OC. I will most go to STL because CAR will be a run-heavy O and WRs in McDaniels O usually gets 100+ catches vs. 80 in CAR.
CB- HOU or DET- I will have to figure out which Def runs more Man coverage. With HOU, I get to face Colts twice and with Joseph at RCB I will get alot of passes thrown my way. With DET, I get to face McNabb,
Rodgers, Cutler twice and with a great Pass Rush in front of me I will get bad passes thrown.
3-4 OLB- KC or JETs. I will be able to sacks in both def
My QB exploded in his 1st four games in his JR year. I have 1526 yards, 14 TDs, and 74% in 4 games. With my Top 2 RBs leaving for the draft, I am able to throw a ton of passes. But the only person I think is mad is the current RB. Only 22 carries in 4 games, The Backup RB and I has more carries. I have 3 WRs over 200 yards, 4 Players over 10 Catches, and 2 with 5 TDs
Just saw that there is a Title update coming up. But, It looks like I will be done all my RTGs before then.
My CB's Sophmore season ended great. I won the Thorpe and Bednarik award. I ended up with 55 TAKs, 7 INTs, 2 sacks, 5 FFs, and 3 TDs. We won the Fiesta Bowl.
I lose couple great players in the secondary and a couple of DL. I have 17 INTs heading into my JR year. Currently tied for career INT record. I will stay all years
I start my JR season at 95 OVR.
I heard that the option to forgo senior season has been removed. I wanted to be realistic and leave after JR season for my HB. But, I dont mind doing an senior season.
HB- Mid-Jr year
QB- Early JR
WR- SOPH
CB- JR
DE- One game left in Fresh season.
I plan on making a DT for TENN. I will not go to HS. I will start off as 80. I will make him after I do a 3-4 games of my QB. It is fun now since I dont have to worry/care about the RB getting Carries
My RB's avg has dropped in his JR year from SOPH. Dont know why, but it seems harder. Most of my games are unranked because I am in the Big East. But most of the games I still get shut down. I still get 120+ yards, but of the time it is from a big run or two. We(Syracuse) are 4-4(on a 4-1 run), which pretty much shuts down any chance of Heisman. It seems like I gotten fewer carries compared to last year. I hate playing with a scrambling QB, lost a game because he decided to scramble with 4 secs left. After 8 games, I have 1250+ yds 16 TDs and 250+ Rec yds 1 TD. Rest of the games are unranked. I had 2200+ yards the 1st 2 years. It looks like I wont past 1800, especially if we dont go to a bowl game. I still get around 25+ carries, but my avg dropped. I wish NCAA had the "CPU Defensive Reaction Sliders" that Madden has for 2+ years. It would really help. The CPU AI reacts way to fast, especially when I press turbo
I just realized last night that my RB only has 80 AGI. I never really noticed it because I am a Power RB who is fast one cut runner. I didnt notice it my 1st 2 seasons, because there has been to many AGI boost packs
I have a few vids I will post. I hit a milestone in one of the vids

My 18th, 19th, and 20th career INT(not in order).
I achieved my career goal of 20 career INTs in less than 3 years. So my new goal before I leave is 25-28 INTs. I couldve had more INTs, but either I gave up a TD trying or mistimed. I am a 95 OVR CB. I think I gave up a total of 5-6 TDs in my career(some were zone cov TDs), I gave up 3 TDs this year in 5 games. Even though I have 95 Man Cov, I get beat on a ton of short routes.
Even though I never bought a Defensive pack. I have high enough ratings because Texas is a 6 Star School. So, we progress greatly in the offseason.
My Speed WR only has 89 speed. I dont have a problem with that, but most of my routes are Streaks and fades. A Skill Pack with speed boost only comes up once every 4-6 games. i would like to improve my speed unless I get a step on CB, the CB knocks down the pass every time. I wish there was a to Strafe on Offense. even though I have 94 SPEC Catch, I miss out on a ton of catches because I fail to get into to a position where I fail to stop and get into position for a catch
After saving up on XP points, I was able to get up to 95 Speed. I also boost my height. mainly because the routes ARK has me running, height is a bonus. I ended my SOPH year with a bang. 84 Rec 1745 yards and 14 TDs. Once I got my speed up it got fun.
I bad thing about my JR season is the starting QB. He is a 92, but has 91 speed and 81 ACC. A good thing, but I hate playing with scrambling QBs, If I dont get open quickly he will take off.
