Powerhouse OD - General Discussion Thread

[JeffHCross]

I'll be blunt: My problem is that at least two of my OD games have taken 90+ minutes. That's crazy, and feels like a drastic change from the past, unless I'm just totally misremembering.

[Kingpin32]

I think the cutscenes are making them longer. But I'm sure that my last game went at least 2 hours.

I thought about posting stats, but if you go to the Dynasty wire webiste and look up "321BCS" it will give you a better picture. So you can see the other users games and stats also based on their playstyles.

As long as we're only "SLOW" game speed, Shotgun HB Counter plays may not work, depending on your playbook.

In case you guys haven't seen, I'm starting a recruiting only OD if any of you are interested.

Am I missing something, but is there a new rule where the defense can't advance a fumble? I've had numerous plays where I caused a fumble on someone other than the QB, and had the play whistled dead right after I picked up the ball.

To be fair, I do work in QA (albeit not at EA), and unless I knew that there was code specific to "SLOW" game speed (which I'm not sure there is, it may just be a coincidence rather than a cause), I would never test that. Test every play, sure. But every play, every play style, and every game speed? No way.

Shouldn't be.

Must be the same glitch as the counter on slow. The game must be reading their knee touching the ground and stopping the play.

I had it happen this week against Tenn.

[JeffHCross]

I had it happen once, but when I looked back at the replay, I noticed that the animation did have the knee touch the ground. It didn't look like it live, but it did on replay.

That's what I've noticed as well.

OB, did you break any controllers this game?

[nykia31]

I would have yanked some WR's scholarships!

[Oneback]

OB, did you break any controllers this game?

At one point I almost did yes, the controller was freakishly still clinging to the last millimeter on my fingers. I think it was the overthrow on one of my last possessions that did it.

I still can't believe how many balls my WR's dropped, not that I'm really that surprised as its been that way all season long. The last two drops were killer, would have brought me to within 3 with another chance at a onside kick.

Watching the video just confirms how bad I played on defense, especially against the pass. Like nykia stated though it was one of those games where HFA just started to snowball on me.

[JeffHCross]

Ive been controlling ny best passrusher in som lab games. Im much happier lol

Finally figured out, in the course of my game against Papa, that I've been trying to use Finesse Moves with guys that, well, such as Finesse Moves. So I started using the Bull Rush last night and while it didn't work as well as I'd hope, it worked well enough. I had one play where I whipped the OL with my DT, and came straight in for a sack. That was so satisfying.

[JeffHCross]

Go ahead and get this conversation started ...

Does anybody think we still need "you can only bring back X players" rules for Players Leaving this year? For anyone who hasn't gone through an offseason yet, the Players Leaving stage has completely changed. However, despite the change that you have to make promises this year, I've found that convincing someone to stay (at least guys going to the draft) is pretty damn easy. Transfers are hard, but Draft declarees are really, really easy.
