Just started a dynasty a couple of days ago with A&M. Lost to ND in the first game by 3 (27-24).
The next game was against an FCS place-holder team in place of McNeese St. One of their players literally got hurt after each play in the first half. No exaggerating... one of their players got hurt literally after every play.
After halftime, it didn't happen after every play, but it was probably more like 75% of the time.
Anyone else run into this? It was horribly annoying.
Yeah, the FCS teams, particularly that one, seem to have significant injury issues. Some speculate it could be the wear and tear system having issues with the fact that the FCS teams technically play dozens of games a week in the early season in the game and it may not realize they aren't supposed to be the same team. Not sure if there is any truth to that theory.
When I played them they had over a dozen players with game or season-ending injuries by the end of it.
The commentary is horribly inaccurate in terms of situational awareness. Often the announcers claim the losing team is the one winning, or proclaim the score difference to be either much smaller or larger than it is.
There are a few A&M issues right off the top that I've noticed:
War hymn is the entrance song and is played after every score, whether a TD, a FG, or even a PAT.
Yell Leaders are shown leading Farmers Fight, but there is no crowd noise indicating that, so they are just doing a goofy dance.
There are standard cheerleaders at all A&M road games with A&M logo on their uniforms.
The helmet logo is way too small.
Minor annoyances for me:
Every time Ags begin a drive after the first one, Rece Davis goes "And we say 'Howdy' to the Aggie offense once again" and it sounds very cheesy and odd. It's literally every time we start a drive.
