Stupid bye weeks. Stupid CPU recruiting.

I'll be recruiting tomorrow morning.

[skipwondah33]

Haha yeah I know

[JBHuskers]

I'll wait til I play someone of equal footing then give some slider feedback.

Yeah, that's why I said week 3... Pretty well everyone will have a decent opponent and a cupcake opponentduring the first 3 weeks.

[gschwendt]

This will be a quick turnaround week since there were only 3 games. I've already played and texted Escobar & Papa.

Remaining:
Texas vs Texas State
Michigan at Clemson
Ohio State recruiting
Penn State recruiting
South Alabama recruiting

[JeffHCross]

My game against Illinois was pretty even. But then again, my game against them last year was even too, more even than games against other, better rated, opponents. I saw some differences in how the CPU approached my offense, but I don't know what to attribute that to. I also saw a lot of broken tackles by one player, but namely only that player, so that's not a huge problem.

[JeffHCross]

Maybe our tackling isn't unrealistic after all, skip: https://vine.co/v/Ohxt1ZHZPxH

He's a pretty good running back

If I see a pocket passing QB, or a 170 lb RB do that then I will think that

That was the thing, it wasn't just the Todd Gurley's, or Yeldon's doing it. It was the QB's with 50 trucking/break tackle and a bunch of other no names or low attribute guys.

Then they would gain speed every broken tackle.

... you took that way too seriously.

No I know you were joking

Just no one else really complained about tackling but me, so I thought I was only one seeing it as a problem lol

We've all complained about tackling at one time or another

[gschwendt]

With these sliders, you'll still see broken tackles, but in most scenarios they only break one or two. After that, the other defenders should be off their blocks and then it just matters if they could catch up to the ball. I think that's fairly relative to real life.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah they seemed much better

That was also thing. In cases where there were broken tackles other defenders were knocked on their ass consecutively and out of the play.
