Season 3 - Wk 7, Deadline: Wed morning

[Coach Kernzy]

On to week 7 guys, we all need to get back on track with some W's.

One thing I'm going to do in case you all want to do it as well is lower my sub out/in on all my offensive players to 79/80, just down one notch.
Defense I'm keeping the same because I like to have fresh guys in but I'll leave that up to you on how you want to handle that.

Please still set your Tempo to Aggressive and don't set Strip Ball unless you're way down and need it to try to help you come back.

[Coach Kernzy]

After two hard fought games against very talented teams the Wildcats came home and must have just been spent from coming up just short in those games. A very poor defensive performance all around and an offense that couldn't score TDs early caused and insurmountable lead they just couldn't overcome.
Oh well, on to next week. That was a tough one though, I really thought we could win that one.

Memphis sleep walks past Rice. Just a bad offensive game for the Tigers. The Defense showed up thankfully and never let Rice get into the game.

After this season, I am totally done with NCAA 12. The game is beyond repair. I posted a video of what I have been facing throughout all my losses. I sustain tons of injuries throughout the games when I finally get on a roll, and then to see my players take up to 15 seconds off the clock to get back in hurry up while the opposing defense takes 2 seconds, I just can't accept it anymore. My guys can't catch, yet the opposing teams hands are like flypaper.

Like I said, I will finish the season, then I am done.

[Coach Kernzy]

No need to finish the season nat, I wouldn't want anyone playing that isn't having fun. It's a game and if you aren't having fun with a game then no reason to play it.

Nope, want to see if I can at least squeak out one win.... it is just frustrating to see the AI-related issues constantly going on, knowing that there is just nothing no one can do. For example, in the video I posted, I keyed on the RB and spred the LBs, and he still wiped the floor with me.

Week 7 game was one of my favorite games yet. GA Tech essentially shut down the BYU offense for 3 quarters. In the 4the quarter the Cougers were trailing 10-3. We finally were able to sustain a drive starting with about 3 minutes left, and hit a crossing WR in the front of the endzone on 4th and Goal to tie the score at 10. Being an option team pressed to pass if they wanted a chance to win in regulation, GT started chucking the rock around the field and went 4 and out after picking up a quick first down on their first play. BYU got the ball back with one timeout at midfield with around a minute left. A series of quick passes got the Cougars down to about the 28-30 yard line where they faced a 2nd down, running clock with about :23 left, and no timeouts. Knowing the FG was going to be a longshot to make at that distance, I called a playaction pass hoping to capitalize on a defense anticipating a centering run to set up the FG to win. The Yellowjackets bit on the play fake and a 28 yard TD pass was lofted deftly to a WR that didn't have anyone within 15 yards of him.

This ranked as my #2 victory on the greatness meter.

The team and players you were playing in that video is quite a bit better than yours nat. I don't see anything at all wrong with that video. You may call the perfect play every time but if the players on the other side are just better than yours you won't have much chance to win.
I understand the frustration but for me that's part of the fun, getting better, making my team better and building them into a winner. Along with that will certainly come some frustration, otherwise what fun would it be if it were easy.
I personally and I think the other two are really liking the way the game is playing right now. I've had my #2 and #3 greatest game and Gnarly just had his #2 greatest game.
