    Has anyone ran a cpu vs cpu game? lol....sometimes if I don't feel like playing, i just watch or do something while its played out. a GT vs a stiff defense would be interesting to me. I'd like to see how the cpu runs the ball against a non human opponent.

    I'd like to see how the CPU runs the OPTION against a good CPU team.

    They made the cpu more aggressive and in the higher difficulties you can't use the change topic option as much. You can do it 3 times on Varsity, twice on AA and only once on Heisman.

    Just glancing at a couple of the dynasties out there, it looks like there were some relatively small changes made. I'll create an OD and see if I see anything additional.

    So on dynasty wire can only people in the dynasty see the recruits not everyone in the public?

    Correct.

    I'll tell you what. I'll create a test OD and the first 11 people to PM me with a request to join it, I'll let them join via Dynasty Wire so that you can get a taste of the website side of things.

    Nope... at least I don't think so. So long as you're already signed up with an EA Sports ID (pretty much all their games use it), then you can just sign in with that and join via the website. I've set a password though so you'll need that first.

    Heads up though... I won't be doing very much waiting around. After my game is played for the week, I'll advance. However, it still should be able to give you a taste of what recruiting and the rest of the site has to offer.

That type of mindset is instilled in him, and I'm sure he'd rather be in the pocket. Maybe that's what I've not been understanding when I have had debates on Locker in the past, is that everyone seems to think that he is a scrambler or option guy playing qb. A little more talent around him, and his passing numbers sky-rocket :eek:, because he's really the exact opposite of that.

    However on the question front: I like the question still. Just seeing the few games (and especially the OSU/UM videos), it does look like a player like a Pryor or Locker will be apt to make a quicker decision to pull it down, whereas a more slow guy will stand and slide in the pocket. No experience on that, just from what I saw. So the question is more than appropriate still.
    The way I meant that is does a fast quarterback scramble in an offense like Locker's (Pro-Style) and not just in offenses that have a lot of designed quarterback run plays (Like Florida).

    Just a heads up... as solidice just discovered, it looks like you will have to be a PS3 user in order to join the OD. He's a 360 guy and it gave him an error when he tried to join.

    I'm in.

    The site appears to still need a little bit of work. It's kind of slow to load up. Sometimes it doesn't load at all and I have to hit refresh.

    Just noticed a problem with the online dynasty recruiting. I don't see a way cut cpu recruiting assistance off from the website. In the preseason, I only set my board to 10 players but as soon as gschwendt advanced it a week, I had 35 people on my board. Moral of the story, if you don't want the computer messing up your recruit board online, disable it from your console.

    Just did some recruiting from the web and I gotta say, recruiting from the web is pretty awesome. In fact, the whole revamped recruiting system is so easy and intuitive that I absolutely love it. I don't think it's gonna hurt work productivity though as it's pretty easy to blow through your 10 hours and then you can't do it again until the week advances.

    Edit - The page still seems very buggy. As of right now, I HIGHLY advise to do all your recruiting from the console. If you say you want to talk to a recruit for an hour and the page logs you out for whatever reason or another (for some reason, I keep going back to the dynasty hub page in the middle of a call), you lose that hour without being able to do it again.

I think I mentioned earlier that the defensive playbooks didn't receive very much attention this year. It looks like the Nickels and Dimes received SOME attention but those just look like additions to zone blitzes.

    Kickers definitely have a weaker leg this year whether it be to adjustments to the kicking game or due to the ratings spread or both.
    Hey last year wasn't there only 4 (3-4) formations? This year there are 5. Now I only played about 4 minutes in the 3-4 thus far but I did think they added a formation for some reason.

    Possibly so... but like I said, I didn't play with the 3-4 very much since I thought it was too easy to use last year in terms of the DL. This year it seems controlled much better so I plan to use it more.

    NCAA 10 had 3-4:
    Normal
    Over
    Under
    Even
    Solid


    I plan to use it this year as Texas Tech is switching to it this season. will be a big change for me as I normally run with a 4-2-5 defense.

    OK so I was mistaken. Thanks for the heads up guys!

    I'm going to run with the 3-4 this year in my dynasties.
