Powerhouse OD - General Discussion Thread

[psuexv]

But I had been the only one posting anything(Eric made a few comments about it) so I thought I was the only one having problems!

Yeah I haven't really noticed the QB accuracy as much this year, that was my biggest complaint.

I was actually telling Snoop last night how last year when I played OB I was in LA and Barkley was off on a number of throws. This year the game was in Texas and I have SO QB and nothing really seemed out of the norm. Yeah he missed some throws but I can live with that. It was when Barkley a 99 OVR with a high 90s accuracy was missing guys by like 5 yards.

The only issues I have had on offense is the blocking. My pulling Lineman and fullbacks just will not set the edge and it is starting to get under my skin. In pass protection the cpu D-line will do a swim or a rip and blow through no matter how many they rush. In my game last night, Tenn's O-line and FB were consistently setting the edge and getting around the corner no matter what I did on defense. I was in amazement at how well they were blocking on their running plays. I was actually kind of jealous. Defense is a whole different story though!

Yeah... my main issues are CPU run defense, HUM tackling, and speed threshold.

These are mine too

I will agree with G that the CPU defense pounces on the run, though I don't know if that's anything we can do anything about. That's just how Read & React seems to be working this year. Sigh.

I would connect just to play cpu games and recruit....mess around and be a 4 star program next season.

I thought about it. Got a lot of other stuff going on though, so not sure I even want to do that. Definitely considering it though (however, the last two days I mysteriously didn't have Internet, so maybe not even that is reliable)

Maybe it's because I run out of the Singleback primarily but yeah I don't really feel that I can't get a running game going.

Singleback >>>>>>>>>>> any other formation, for getting a running game. That's been true since NCAA 11 at least. Ace is so much better than SG or even I-Form running on this game.

Does anyone know if when you place a team on autopilot do they still run the same offense? I was using a custom playbook, but I was hoping in the CPU games they would still run the Air Raid or at least their default playbook which is still a simular style.

Not certain but I think they should use the generic playbook for the type of playbook you created. If you based it off of an Air Raid, then it should be Air Raid. However, if you started with Georgia Tech and then put in Air Raid formations, it would base it off of Option.

They ran the air raid, but started off running the ball quite a bit until the 2nd quarter. Then it was all out pass

Yep. Had to move out of my apt and there's no way I could keep going right now.

[Escobar]

I'm going to show a restart. I tried to play my game before I went to sleep and it locked up at the loading screen.

Also has anyone had an issue where both players are getting dc'd during the game. I'm trying to play my friend in my OD for the BCS Championship. It's year 2 and the title game is at the Rose Bowl. It's happened 10 times. Each time in the 1st quarter sometimes within the first two drives. The game starts to move choppy then all of a sudden it says connection to opponent has been lost. But it does this for each person. We are both still connected to the EA Servers and PSN. We have tried w/ and w/o custom playbooks and uniform changes. Happened 8 times last night and twice tonight.

Hairy Dawg is taking over the vacancy and will be taking the reigns of Georgia. Hairy Dawg (Jeff) has been in SBCOL for longer than I can remember and is always a great competitor, plays games quickly, and easy to work with in UvU scheduling.
