Powerhouse OD - General Discussion Thread

[JeffHCross]

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

That said, I wouldn't mind it disappearing.

Oneback, did you notice anything from our game regarding my gameplan settings?

[JeffHCross]

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.

I went and deleted my playbook and created a completely new one. See how my offense performs with this new book.

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.

I made one based on USC and only changed a few things. Will see how that works. I actually really like the one I have for UAB, might run that next season with Bama depending on what kind of recruits I can bring in.

Created an Air Raid playbook based on my favorite plays from NCAA '11 Arizona, Arizona State (or at least their old playbook), and MTSU. Disaster.
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).

[Oneback]

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.

I could never use my created playbook in the OD practice mode on '12 either. It would automatically load the team I was using like you are saying.

Hey for all of you that have QB's with accuracy < or = 85 please post up your completion percentage. I want to make sure these sliders aren't killing dual threat QBs.

[JeffHCross]

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.

[gschwendt]

Do sliders effect UvU games this year?

Notre Dame-Ohio State

Dupe

[JeffHCross]

Nykia, I love the commentary.

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.

[Papa LoneStar]

Nykia, I love the commentary.

I wouldn't mind seeing a slight + bump to HUM Tackling and HUM Break Block, plus a slight - drop to CPU Break Block. Seems to me like the CPU has a much easier time getting off blocks, especially outside blocks, while the User defenders can't disengage worth anything.

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.
