The tuner is out so hopefully that fixes the issues.
I'll be simming again several seasons to see for sure here in a bit.

I'm heart broken after losing the BCS game to Bama in OT. In some ways I'm happy since I shouldn't have been able to make it there (harder sliders coming for year 2) but it was still tough. I will say that I actually had some success running play action. Furthermore, Bama chose defense when winning the flip in OT so that was good. I was up 13-10 in OT and stuffed Bama on their first two plays to force a 3rd and 18 from the 33. I double covered Jones but they went to the other side.

Man.....that's a rough way to lose. Looked like you had the QB dead to rights when he got that pass off. Does that kind of loss make you want to step away for a day or two or even more motivated to start the next season?
I've been going back and forth between NCAA and the Madden demo and I think overall I am in the minority, but I much prefer running the ball in Madden. There almost seems to be too much ease and control in NCAA and breaking a 50 yard run is a regular occurance in each game. I find Madden very responsive yet not too overdone. I think that RB's are a little too good in NCAA this year, regardless of slider tweaks.
Geez....I think my longest run is a 38-yarder.
I've actually broken a 95 yarder before (which was REALLY awesome to have happen), but I rarely break them for longer than 25-30 yards myself.Originally Posted by HuskerBlitz

Actually I take that back. I did have a 44-yarder in one of my last games. It was off an option where I gained about 15 yards with the QB before pitching it.
That was actually me in the QB's face and I got a late jump on the snap since I was trying to make an adjustment.
The loss doesn't really bother me at all. It was a great game to play. After Bama jumped out to a 10-0 lead right away I thought I was going to get smoked but Ingram got hurt and I was able to hang around. I'll be back recruiting and doing the offseason stuff so I can get back to playing right away. It will probably take me at least a couple hours of off season gaming to get back to playing an actual game. But I'll be back!
Yeah Idk but I haven't broke too many long runs, I'de say about 5 or 6 total among all my games played... I break away for my fair share of 10-20 but not many 40+Geez....I think my longest run is a 38-yarder.
I Form Tight/Strong I Tackle Over/Ace Jumbo Z Stretch or Toss. Slide Protect towards the side the run is going to. You guys will be busting 50+ yard gains with regularity in no time.
Any outside pitch from the I will result in HUGE, HUGE gains. I run a 3 back philosophy and every game one of them will break out to the sides for a long gain. The Defense on pitches needs to be tuned and tighter.
I don't think tuning it would fix it. I don't know why, but the entire defense gets sucked in towards the middle of the line on big formation toss/stretch/counter plays. If you have a lead blocker and are able to pick up the remaining defender, it's clear sailing to the endzone. Everyone and their mother runs it online, which accounts for about 80% of my frustration with it.
I think tuning might be able to fix it. The crux of the problem with the running game is that defensive awareness is too low. Assuming that there's some way to tune it so that defenders recognize the running play and react by filling their various gaps quicker, then there's a way to tune it. Basically some kind of "run recognition" slider.
Bingo... the LEAD BLOCKER is like a steam roller this year!!!
See, people mention that on forums regularly, but it has been refuted time and again by the devs and by other players that the line calls don't apply to the running game.Slide Protect towards the side the run is going to.
I ran plays in practice before, trying with and without line calls, and noticed basically no difference in the yards that my RB was getting. Haven't run that experiment this year though.
Yup... but it makes no sense whatsoever that it doesn't work. When I played football, amazingly coach could call slide block R or slide block L for run and pass. You would think it would be an easy fix but who knows???
One thing I do like are the in game cut-scenes that are almost real time presentation. Stuff like the DL bumping into each other after a sack or stop, the QB cheering someone on or chewing out an OL, etc. I prefer the on field cut scenes to the fan ones although the fans (and coaches if they make a return) can be interesting.
some tuner set eh ? i'm still getting balls batted down left and right by def. linemen- whatever haha , I still like the game- last 2 years of ncaa were a joke compared to this year
Agreed on both counts. I know a lot of people say the tuner has made a difference but I still see a ton of blocked passes by the DL but I will say not as many by the LB's.
I'm seeing less knocked down by the DL. They still occur, but not as often.
