Virtual coaching nightmare: Unexpected defeat after program revival

Picture this: It’s 2027 and you’ve turned a mediocre college football team into a powerhouse. You’ve played every down, recruited like crazy, and nearly won it all twice. Your squad is stacked with a superhuman QB, speedy receivers, and defensive studs. You just crushed the top-ranked team.

Feeling confident, you decide to simulate a game against a small school. Big mistake! Your team somehow loses by three touchdowns. How is this even possible? The game’s logic seems broken.

Anyone else experienced this kind of frustrating simulation outcome? It’s enough to make you question your virtual coaching skills and the game’s realism. Maybe I should stick to playing every game myself from now on.

Ugh, I feel your pain. Sims in sports games can be so frustrating.

I’ve had similar wtf moments in Madden where my stacked team gets crushed by some 2-win squad.

It’s like the game decides ‘nah, you’re having too much success’ and throws you a curveball.

Definitely makes you want to play every game yourself just to avoid that nonsense.

Simulations can be so weird.

I once had my undefeated team lose to a 1-10 squad.

The game probably thinks it’s adding drama, but it just feels broken.

Maybe toss in a few upsets to keep us on our toes?

Yeah, those sim results can be wild sometimes.

I’ve had games where my 99-rated QB suddenly throws 5 picks against a low-ranked team.

Makes you wonder what’s going on behind the scenes with the AI.

Oof, that’s rough. Sims can be super unpredictable sometimes. I’ve had similar things happen in other sports games too. It’s like the AI decides to go crazy for no reason. Probably best to play the important games yourself if you want to be sure.

Man, that’s brutal. Sim engines can be so wonky sometimes. I’ve had my share of head-scratching results too. Makes you wonder what weird calculations are happening in the background. Might be safer to play those “easy” games yourself next time!
