EA Sports College Football Video Game

On Tuesday, Memorial Stadium was absent from the “Toughest Places to Play” list while Thursday debuted the game's top 25 Offenses and Defenses, where the Huskers find themselves in an unfortunately familiar place, unranked.

Offensively, no surprise as Nebraska finished the season tied with Charlotte for 115th in the nation in Total Offense. That number is largely related to the passing offense which ranked 126th in the nation, fifth worst in the country, one spot above Iowa. The rushing offense, carried by team rushing leader quarterback Heinrich Haarberg, ranked 38th in the country.

With the addition of five-Star QB Dylan Raiola and co-offensive coordinator/QB Coach Glenn Thomas, those numbers are believed to rise.

I don't have an issue with Nebraska's offense not being ranked by EA for this year's game, but our defense should be in the Top 10 or 15 at least.

Sometimes I think EA either takes bribes to rate players or teams higher, or they're just morons that get their rankings by throwing darts at a board while blindfolded and drunk.

My predictions for how Riola will be rated:

Speed: 74
Quickness: 70
Agility: 74
Throw Power: 92
Accuracy: 88
Awareness: 80

Be interesting (for me anyway) to see how close (or off) I am.
 
Will there be a BHF Cross Play Tournament where we each take the Huskers (one home- one away) for a BHF Championship? I have to warn you, my constant use of Goal Line Defense with me actively controlling the fastest DB is stifling! Also, my penchant for Hail Marys can result in lop sided scoring.

For context, this kid isn't a Nebraska fan, just a guy who was playing NCAA 14 on youtube for kicks and got super popular overnight to such a degree EA invited him to play Donovan Edwards of Michigan (he got spanked :happy0188:) and gave him an advance copy. A handful of other youtubers were also given early access and put up some footage already, but Bordeaux has chosen Nebraska as the first team he wanted to play in Dynasty mode :kool: free publicity.

Actually, that's an incredibly bad surprise. The Polar Bear and Ty Robinson should both be in the Top 10 for interior DTs.

They will be when the season is over , the one that matters

The same thing could be said for some preseason poll (I've forgotten who's) ranking Nebraska as having the fourth best DL in the Big Ten.

My thought was the same as RED ED's. Let's see what they're saying once the season is over.

I played a few hours of Road to Glory last night, looking forward to getting back into it tonight. I haven't played an actual game yet because I made the mistake of starting as a 2-star underdog HB. I'm a perpetual 3rd stringer who has seen the field only a couple times in 2 seasons. But what I've played in practice modes has been good.

But really hoping a few things get patched later this week when the game drops for everyone who (perhaps wisely :)) skipped the deluxe edition.

Day 2 edit: finally saw meaningful snaps, I think due to injuries (didn't look at the depth chart). Despite balling out for hundreds of yards (playing on the difficulty for small baby children), got sent back to the bench for guys averaging 1 ypc. But we made the playoffs and, for reasons I was again too lazy to investigate, I got put at WR in the national championship game and once again took a massive dump on my opponent, putting up over a hundo with a 60 yard TD catch-and-run (did I mention easy difficulty for infants?) Our playoff opponents? Tulane and Charlotte. The first round was a more realistic opponent. This game is definitely flawed but finally getting some action has still been a hoot.

More bugs: beat Washington 42-41 in the Big Ten Championship game, but when the game presentation ended and moved to the stat screen the final score read 41-41.

The refs called for a review while I was in the game but it didn't show the actual replay, just sat there looking at the stadium from a wide angle.

Had to play a generic FCS team and on the first 4 plays, they had 4 players go down to injury. Probably a really funny coincidence more than a bug but I thought the game was going to take an hour to finish on 5 minute quarters.
