Road to glory is pure garbage. Predetermined outcomes for sure. You get a pick 6 to go up 17? Simulation gives them 3 touchdowns before you even see the field again. Fumble recovery in the red zone? Simulation gives the opposing team 3 negative plays and a 0 yard punt. 0 yards.. not blocked. Also, coaches challenge you to 5 solo tackles? Well cutsticks, hit sticks and solos magically become assisted. But when you do assist a tackle, you get no credit. Definitely won't buy the next game.
Lets go a little further. Bring the cpu to a 3rd and 20 and the game forces you to go to simulation and what do you know, 27 yard completion. I literally won a game at the last second the other day on a stop. Final score 32-30. Showed the post-game animations and everything. Backed out to the main screen and showed a loss 33-32.
My team is texas and we're playing Vanderbilt. I have 2 picks, 1 back to the house, the other in the red zone. There were 2 more pick 6's, and 2 more picks. 6 in total. Somehow a non-ranked team still beats Texas. Makes sense now why terrible non-ranked teams make the playoffs.
Lastly, I'm sick of my 92 speed, scrambling qb getting run down by 76 speed DE's. And yes, I checked the stamina pre-play. I don't scramble when stamina is low.
