The only thing I believe should be discussed is limiting the aggressive DL merely because there is no downside.
As far as run commit goes, I have used it a handful of times and the times it has worked, it didn't feel cheesy. But often when it didn't work, the offense had an advantage over me.
I've got to admit I just don't think I have "it" anymore and at this point fully expect you guys to run rough shot over me in this OD. I really don't know if its the teams that I am playing with or me but I have zero offense right now. It all stems from my inability to throw the ball at all...I know it started a little last year which is why I ended up switching to the flexbone but this year I am lucky if I am passing at a 40% clip in the 29 games I have played online. It's getting quite frustrating.
i have def. not played anywhere near that many online games yet, but passing def. seems tricky. I have almost only been focused on running the ball though, since i was so terrible at it last year and has to pass 78% of the time, it seems outside matchups are tough to win consistently with WRs vs CBs going Deep, and fades are very different from years past and i need to practice with them.
Totally understand that part, for some reason a defense won't automatically treat a 3rd and 26 as a obvious pass situation. I've seen some pretty unrealistic things in the past though with aggressive D-line and aggressive pass coverage. Jumping the snap is a timing thing, not something that happens EVERY snap. Hell Dwight Freeney can't even time it right every single snap but the players on this game can with it implemented? Then there is the zone-blitz run commit-interceptions set to aggressive, that seems to not have a penalty for doing at all. If you throw it quick it will likely be a picked or if you run it then your probably going to get stuffed.Quote:

Of course I'm comparing this to the problems it had the last year and with the difficulty on Heisman so you can only imagine the problems. I'm the newbie so I'm not trying to step on any toes just my opinion. Hell the use of these things will probably make my defense better in actuality.
It doesn't matter if you were the first person here or the new guy all 12 of us are one commitee. Feel free to bring any thoughts or concerns up and the 12 of us will talk it out and come up with a conclusion all of us can agree on.
Since I have been in the league the only thing that I use is the pass commit feature on anything more then 3rd and 8's and more then on 4th and 4's or more. I have though in the past but not much in this year used the agressive setting for D-line, zone coverage, and the option. The only reason I haven't this year used it much is because I feel I've gotten better with my play calling and not needed to take chances to play u guys.
I'm pretty laxed overall so I don't mind anything and surely don't mind change for the better good of the dynasty. I'm anxious to hear other's thoughts on this though.
In testing to get a good number of plays I think we are going to have to play 8 to 9 minute quarters. Now because of the play clock on this years version it seems to take about as long as 7 minute quarters did on NCAA 10 which is what we were using. I am still testing however.
Also, I believe I am getting really close to a set of sliders. Please check out the thread I have made in the OD (http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/for...2598#post12598), test them out and give feedback as these will have a direct impact on the OD's gameplay.
so im in week 10 of my first OD ( a minors OD with my buddy from the navy) he is memphis and i am temple. Both are 2* teams and we have recruiting on AA difficulty. Starting Around week 7 i tried to go after a few 4*s who had 0 offers, the very next week each and everyone has had at least one offer from someone on their list once i put them on my list :) I think it is going to be much harder to poach good players even with good teams, i am very excited.
also irondragons roster is pretty darn good. http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/for...Roster-Updates if you have not checked it out. Has a ton of changes to many teams big time and small time.
Thank you so much. I'm surprised how much my roster is starting to get attention around the NCAA community that I have people willing to donate to me now, this started as a side-project that I thought would go no where but apparently people like these alot.Quote:

I'm ready to get this thing rolling lol. I've played more ranked games this version than I have the last 3 years combined. Granted I've only been playing guys from here and a cousin of mine. Which reminds me OB you need to sign up for the Game Changers thing :P
If he signs up, I'll finally have a win lol.
I am now a card carrying member.Quote:

I haven't even played a full game of NCAA yet!
Alright so there has been a little bit of a shake up. The original plan was to have either myself or Papa take one of Michigan or Texas and after much debate between the two of us...mainly me pressuring Papa he has decided to hand over Michigan, however I had to hand over Texas. He has said though that if there is a lot of objection he would move to Iowa which fits his style of play as well.
Honestly I am okay with Papa taking Texas as that was the original thought when we first started talking about this around December.
What are everyone else's thoughts?
Peer Pressure :smh:. But I don't mind the move. Who would you replace for Texas?
