I wish quarterbacking felt true to scale..i feel like I'm a giant playing middle schoolers. The line should feel massive, and like you said I play on the hardest level and hardly ever throw a pick.
@@coastercloudy did you turn off immersive? That's auto aim bro. If you have legacy on and you don't throw int, you need to go to the league. It's not like I Throw ints all the time but with legacy it's on you, so if I overthrow or underthrow it shows
Love your videos Axolootl! I worked along with you and agree with everything you said except; as an Eagles fan I would have much rather play in Philly than Brazil. The field was awful and season ticket holders missed the game. So international stadiums would be cool but is probably way down the list. Fixing the defense and making the offense a little more challenging are the major changes that should occur. Anyway, keep up the great work!
Definitely some potential in this game... I wish there was more to reading defenses to make things tougher, from disguises and blitz packages from potentially anywhere, and just better Defensive A.I. overall.... I also understand to a degree that they are limited graphically but shouldn't be too hard to add dreads, long hair, sleeves, visors, etc and things like that to existing players. I couldn't take Pacheco serious lol... Seeing the refs on the field would be nice too and add more realism. They got the guys holding the markers on the side lines, why not the refs?... I like your idea of making it harder to pass on the road, be nice if the stadiums were a little bit louder too, especially on 3rd downs on the Road. Good Review, thx for all the videos you do!
@@evilgeniusfantasy great review yourself! I agree with all of this. This games sitting on some viral potential, it just needs to fix the bugs and add a few things.
Immersion removal doesn't make sense to me. I hated the immersive tackles and I would often sim plays but it should still be an option. Overall I'm loving it. defense is fun, flawed but fun. I hope they change the interactions with blocks completely. IRL Block shedding and rushing is very handsy. it should work well in VR to use some realistic moves for handling blockers. What shouldn't exist is a LB running over the O-Line. those are some huge guys and they aren't going to get sent flying. it was fun the 1st time but it's so easy to make tackle for a loss that I just avoid ever blitzing.
In some games I loved checking out the stadium and my teams players on the side lines and cheering on my defense like a real game. I also liked the helmet feature it made me feel like I really had a helmet on. They should have those options for people who like either or.
Do you know how to fix this issue? I have contacted there email, website support, and wrote a review and no response. Contacted all three options to get a hold of developers and no answer to all of them. I have never had a developer just not respond. Ever since week 3 of my first season something weird happened when i played the jags. I noticed there quarterback was number 98 (i have defense edition). I looked further and found Trevor Lawrence at WR and he was black? I noticed this ever game all the players switched positions and some switched race. Including my own i am the falcons. Kyle Pits was a linebacker. I threw a couple passes to my backup QB who was at WR. Bijan Robinson is at Tight End. This happened every game to every team. I played the titans and they had there QB was number 26. Also, there starting RB was Arden Key there starting linebacker.
Unfortunately, the defense is broken because you can basically line up offsides every time and sack the qb 9 out of 10 times. I done it personally today ughh!! They need penalties added to stop this and it would make playing the whole game so much more fun! Also, Smooth turning would be a great option to have. Once they fix the gameplay issues this game has a real good chance of being great! Good review
The problem with the game is the AI is atrocious. Working on defense was incredbile for H2H multiplayer. But I'd rather watch paint dry then get 100 sacks a game or watch the other QB throw check downs and incomplete passes. They need to focus on gameplay and thats it. The defense needs to be way better. Throwing the ball in coverage needs to matter. It's really hard to have any faith in this game when they seem oblivious to the fact that the actual football game play needs to much work. EDIT: Like I understand you want cutscenes. But it's a complete waste of time. It's like 2K myplayer. I don't need all these pointless cutscenes and decision that have 0 impact on gameplay. I want to play VR football and read defenses.
Its the fact that features were promised and not delivered. Campaign mode, new stadiums, and jersey customization were heavily advertised across their Instagram, TikTok, and even mentioned in the patch notes as available features. Yet, here we are without any of them. It’s not just disappointing; it feels like a breach of trust. Delivering on promises is just as important as fixing bugs, and right now, that’s the ugliest part of this release. Gameplays been broken for the past 2 games sadly
I thought I heard you say you could play cornerback on defense, I know you can swap players but there's no option to switch to corner, How do you do it?
I bought the defense mode and was 12 games into a season and it doesn’t work today. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it just reset and I am on the 2023-2024 season. Can someone help
I think this game is a 3/10 compared to Pro Era II. How can you take away the QB run game and the sideline. Also I hate the new wrist playbook. It feels so much worse than the last game
I totally get it, a lot of people really enjoyed those features. I wish I had the same experience to better understand your perspective. If they removed something I liked, like freeplay, for no reason, I'd be upset too.

They removed the sideline it’s the biggest crime and you can’t run as a qb.
Real
Yes you can
And they removed so people can play defense
@@Mil-6989 they didn’t have to remove it and defense is paid dlc so there was no reason to remove sidelines other than laziness

why cant we play the 2024 2025 season
Am I doing something wrong or is there no defense in season mode?
…I really miss the immersion features (especially getting tackled as qb
International stadium would be nice but if had a choice i rather they work on defense ai before versus mode comes out
I definitely do hope they get it so you can just play defense 🙏

Thank you🙌🏻

Is it the same version that’s on the psvr2 and Quest 3? The Quest is called 2025 and the one on PlayStation is called Pro Era 2.
Why does pro era 2 not exist no more
They need to add gestures like high fives
ive been looking fir a vid like this, so they took out the sideline features like forever?
I lowkey wish they added Kickoff/Punt returner

I agree! I try to play more like a CB it’s the only way they ever get the chance to score
i play mlb and my dbs be getting torched 😭😭
Time to step up as CB
You mentioned my comment 😮😮😮
What I don't like is I can't see my defensive stats
I bought defense and it used to let me play it pan now it won’t
Same here. The defense worked the first night after I bought it, but now it won't let me.
Is the nfl era 2025 free or idk and I payed 40$ for nfl era 2024 and I don’t have defense

How do you switch to playing cornerback? I seem to only be able to play linebacker.

Did they take out online head to head???
No it’s coming this winter
Wow I thought it would come in October that sucks
@@MonkeMondays hey the game was released earlier then what they said so maybe H2H will be 🤗
Ok thanks really cool that you responded
Also love watching your videos and I like that you post news about pro era
I thought I heard you say you could play cornerback on defense, I know you can swap players but there's no option to switch to corner, How do you do it?
You can't swap to corner, but since you can move around before the snap, just move in front of a receiver and try to play man coverage on them

Having the exact same problem!
Something happened when they updated the game and it’s not working for anyone rn
What I did to fix was hit season pass on startup and it fixes it. I have to do it everytime I start the game which is annoying
Are they gonna fix the running?
@@xBelingerant right now there are no plans too

How do you play cornerback
It's really only linebacker but you can select plays where you play 1 on 1 man
