PH DPD: Season 5 Preseason

[gschwendt]

We're now at the preseason.


We're still restricting recruiting to no 5-star recruits.

[marcotte14]

Are we going to make any slider adjustments? I was thinking making it harder to run the ball, maybe inc cpu run defense or dec user rb ability. I think 5 out of the top 7 highest rushers were users, plus our teams are getting better. Just a thought.

I'm certainly open to any changes you guys want to suggest.


Not as a commish but as a user, I will say that I'm opposed to lowering USER RB Ability only because anything below 50 seems to make our RBs extremely sluggish.

I am not opposed to raising both USER & CPU Run Defense though.

[marcotte14]

Yeah, I def think we should inc CPU Run Defense up a bit, maybe even inc CPU Pass Defense up 5.

[skipwondah33]

The CPU's pass D I believe is tough, which is why I stopped throwing so much. Atleast tougher than it use to be.

I started running this season because I seen how easy it seemed for everyone else the season prior lol

[JeffHCross]

The only point I'll make on slider changes is that many of us were successful in running the ball in part because, at least in my case, we sacrificed a passing game. For most of the season I had no passing game whatsoever.

Now, that said, I fully recognize that part of the reason that I was able to run do much is that it is much easier than passing.

[skipwondah33]

Very true

also part of the reason is our QB's are insanely inaccurate when throwing the ball despite having ratings you would think to do so.

Then again when thinking about the College run game in real life, the lack of run defense seems fine

The speed threshold probably has just as much of a factor also but I actually love that about the Dynasty/game

[marcotte14]

See: Ezekiel Elliott :D

:up:

[skipwondah33]

See: Ezekiel Elliott :DYep, exactly or Melvin Gordon

Every time I watch a game, it seems like the run coupled with the no huddle/read option is insanely effective and no one can defend the run very well

[gschwendt]

I've added a National Ranking to the results this year showing the player's ranking among all players at that position.

[skipwondah33]

Thanks for this G, good work

I dislike both you and Jeff for the team's that you guys have had over the years lol

[Papa LoneStar]

I would like a neutral site game vs OU (it felt so weird playing in Norman last year & a possible neutral site vs A&M at Cowboy Stadium, please, sir. I'll knock out my preseason tasks at 3:30pm.

[JeffHCross]

Ohio State is Ready to Advance.

This season is really going to test my recruiting abilities.

[JeffHCross]

Thanks for this G, good work

I dislike both you and Jeff for the team's that you guys have had over the years lolSize doesn't matter. It's all in how you use it.

:+1: on the kudos to G.

I don't think neutral site games work right in the game... I'll try to set them but I don't think they actually stick.

[Papa LoneStar]

I don't think neutral site games work right in the game... I'll try to set them but I don't think they actually stick.
I'm not sure about the RRS cause it just says "Rivalry Game", but A&M says "neutral site game"....appreciate the efforts, sir.
