Did they get rid of a bunch of the coaching upgrade purchases or do I not have access to them since I created a coach?

after each of my 2 games there was a coaching upgrade pop-up screen I had to go through... looked to be all the same things as last year (with L1/R1 to switch through the tabs)

but I could be wrong because in previous seasons my coach never had enough XP to level anything, so I never paid attention

Currently, my two games were (from kickoff to end game)

Week 1: 37 minutes
Week 2: 35 minutes

Avg: 36 minutes

I have highlights of the last years season, taking a random sample of four games...

Game 1: 59 minutes
Game 2: 54 minutes
Game 3: 55 minutes
Game 4: 1 hour 2 minutes

Avg: 56 minutes

Last year we had no acceleration clock, I checked. That accounts for the near doubling of game time.

I let some dude hang 22 points on me in the first quarter and a half of ranked draft champions. I closed the half out with a TD, started the next half and dropped 22 on him while holding him. He quit when I took the lead and kicked the FG. Now the game doesn't count at all......what's the point of playing if people can DC with under 2 minutes in the 4th quarter and I don't get a W.

I've definitely had plenty of people quit on me in DC, but never had it not count the W...weird

If you close application game stats aren't counted, unlike a true disconnect

I agree that games are short. Last year they were kind of long. I think 40-45 minutes could be the sweet spot, 25 second accelerate clock sounds good.



Lol @ Fisher extension

I will not believe the Jeff Fisher extension until I have seen more than one rumor about it. I REFUSE to believe that is real at all.

My games have each taken an hour and a half because this dumb game is trash. Please don't make them longer.

gg az! i got HFA'd, dropped like 5 picks, all those strip sack fumbles... but that last throw i made was incredibly stupid so i deserve to lose. i was watching that DE 95 and he was going to get me again.... which would've probably been another fumble!

i also want to say they have somehow fucked up the wind meter again, which is why i missed my first fg. it showed i had 10 mph wind at my back so i went maybe 75% strength thinking i have plenty of leg to hit a 45 yarder or whatever and then it was well short. then i tested it out on kicks and sure enough, i didn't have the wind!

Yeah, it said I had the wind at my back at the start of the second half, and then I kicked it out the back of the endzone. That's when I knew.

GG Bread. It's tough losing when you only give up 4 FGs, but I just couldn't generate enough offense. I gotta improve my third down play calling, or stop getting into so many third downs.

Hopefully Jabee loses, keep the division nice and even.

I had him open on the game deciding sack, but I needed like half a second more, or maybe I should've thrown it half a second sooner. He's pretty studly this year and I gotta work on using him more.
