I don't mind run commit as I only have a 1/3 chance of getting the direction right. If you tip your hand, that's on you :D
That said, I wouldn't mind it disappearing.

Oneback, did you notice anything from our game regarding my gameplan settings?
I turned on "Conservative" Pass Defense (knockdowns) for the last drive against the CPU, and to say I noticed a difference would be an understatement. All four passes were batted down, when I hadn't had very many other swats all game (except for a couple manual swats).
Near the end of the game I remember thinking you had run blocking on aggressive, other than that no.Quote:

I've got one started with a mix of middle Tennessee state and Oregon. It's not bad but far from finished. Hoping to have them done soon. I'm tweaking my defensive playbook but only pulling some plays and adding a few others from certain packages.Quote:

Created a Pistol playbook based on my Air Raid and One Back plays, but from the Pistol set. Disaster.
Tried to run Run n Shoot. Disaster.
I-Form is great until the FB decides to take a dump in the hole on a 4th down.
At this point I'm not sure WHAT I'm going to run. But clearly I need to change.
Is anybody having trouble practicing with their created playbook inside the OD's practice mode? It loads my playbook before "loading" into practice mode, but it ends up making my practice with the Boise State playbook (my default).
I'm having the same problem.
Blocking are the settings that I never change. Idk if it's my style of offense, but I get my share of holding/clipping penalties called already...been that way for years w/ NCAA. The majority of my changes were on defense.Quote:

EJ's THA is 86. While I don't know his number, it has felt pretty good for which routes I was throwing to.
EDIT: He's at 60%. 23 incompletions, with 6 of those being drops.
Do sliders effect UvU games this year?

Dupe
Nykia, I love the commentary. :D :D :D
EDIT: Wow, did Ohio State get screwed over on these rosters by removing Storm Klein from MLB. I expect he'll be back at some point, and that really hurts the LB corps in the game.

I agree that the Accuracy is ... interesting. I just had yet another game where my accuracy fluctuated wildly, including misses on 10 yard patterns and deep passes. For much of my game against Georgia, it felt distinctly like that horrible game I had against Ohio to start the season. I feel like there's some version of Dynamic Player Performance (or at least random dice rolls that influence ratings) going on in the background, and we don't know it. That's the only explanation I have for the wildly different experiences I've had.
That was a good game, fellas.Quote:

I have ends with nice passrush moves.
When I go dime and have Prince Shembo with his hand in the dirt, and move Kapron Lewis Moore inside like the Giants do with Tuck, I have guys with 85, 87, 84, 87 passrush moves.
At least 1 or 2 of them, usually have a matchup advantage, or are even; yet I consistenly see them do nothing when left alone.
They play the run well, but passrush? PSH.
Even usering them doesn't get it done, nykia. I think we may be suffering because of the way our sliders work out in USER/USER matchups. When I'm playing the CPU, I can get a rush with our sliders (albeit still not that good of one), but I got nothing in USER/USER.
Ahhh...i forgot about the user vs user factor.Quote:

Then there is nothing you can do to get swat to work when the ball is in the air...easy touchdowns for them. It was alot worse than it looks, and for some reason my backup QB plays like Peyton Manning compared to Showers who got hit once and was completely off on his throws. Then gets hurt the one play in the second half that I let him play after benching him.
Setting the Pass Rush slider to 100 and the Pass Block slider to 0 generates a pass rush :D
But seriously, even then, you could get the pass off with the right read. I'm now seeing why it's "impossible" to get a pass rush on default settings -- there are limitations in the engine that are influencing things.
I'm working on a set of sliders that will be good for user vs user games and user vs cpu. I think I've gotten the pass rush and kicking game where I want it. Everything else is still in the works.Quote:

I am testing/tuning with two controllers in both practice and play now modes. Once I get a set I am happy with I'll have someone create an OD so we can test as a group.Quote:

Am I the only one who has thrown in the towel on user control of a FS or LB?
I suck at it this yr...i make on bad mistake a gm...plus base pass rush pisses me off
As you saw in our game, I stick to controlling SS1. Primarily I do that because I want to control someone that can make a tackle and also because Gordon isn't as good at man coverage as my other SS. That said, I've never felt comfortable playing the FS simply because he's too far away from the ball and is generally in deep coverage. With a LB or SS, I can take away the short routes, but LBs have lower AGI so it's tougher to control them this year.Quote:
