Powerhouse OD - General Discussion Thread

[JeffHCross]

As the season is winding down, just wanted to leave a friendly reminder for people that as you finish your recruiting, if you don't use all your time, please set "Ready to Advance". Because of the change to the OD interface, we can't see who has/hasn't used their time.

Also, Oneback, it appears that through "User Teams & Coaches", you can go in and change who your team is, and I presume you could change anyone's. Looks like you don't have to delete, then re-invite this year.

I definitely want to play West Virginia next year, because those bastards have taken away a good bit of the players we were battling for and I want them to see what they could have had lol

I just want to let you guys know that with 4 games left on my schedule I fully intend on winning the NCAA Rushing title this year. Michael Cox may be behind Eddige George by 300+ yards at this point and it will all come down to that game. Illinois and Purdue aren't going to be able to stop it. We'll see about Wisconsin and Ohio State. Penn State stepped up to the plate, tried and failed. Just know Eddie George, Michael Cox is coming for you! LOL

I actually don't want the rushing title with Clay, particularly because I'd like for him to return for his senior season. Granted I have Ball coming back next year but if I could have Clay, then I could potentially redshirt Ball next season... will just depend on how the offseason shakes out though.

Well I think I got the NCAA Passing title on lock then.

Mr Williams has something to say about that

[Oneback]

LOL, I was waiting for that response.

[skipwondah33]

LOL, I was waiting for that response.

Oh yes Mr. Williams sees and hears all lol.

I told you we now go by "Chip on our shoulders" Virginia Tech haha

[JeffHCross]

Having Penn State and Michigan in two of my last three games pretty much kills any chance I have of winning.

[Oneback]

I just noticed today I have Wisconsin and Ohio State as my last two games. Talk about killer to finish the season.

[JeffHCross]

Welcome to the Big Ten.

[JeffHCross]

In the test dynasty I threw up there to test switching teams, Virginia Tech defeated Boise State in Week 1, 28-27.

VT scored 21 points in the 4th quarter.

Including a 75 yard fumble return with :42 to go.

Ouch.

Can I get a refresher on setting D-Line to Aggressive? Is this a yes or a no?

I think the decision was that there was not a decision. I think it was something like 4 for it, 4 against it and 4 that didn't really care. I have noticed in CPU games that the CPU always has D-Line on Aggressive, the only thing that bothers me about it being on agressive is that an already broken play-action game gets even more pointless to attempt. Now I have heard that EA plans on fixing the issues with play-action in the patch so it may be a non-issue once that happens.

I am on that is in the camp of it doesn't matter to me. I have faced it agaisnt the computer and in random online games and it hasn't hurt my offense that much, I however unlike last year haven't used it once and haven't seemed to be hurt by the fact I am not using it.

[psusnoop]

I messed around with it a little last night and tried to remember to use it in situational downs and distance. Like 3rd and long or 3rd and very short. I actually liked that idea even though I really saw no difference it just made me feel like I was calling a defensive game plan a little more. It doesn't matter either way for me either. I can use it or not but I think I will continue to use it like I did last night in the SBCOL.

[skipwondah33]

is that the reason the CPU gets insanely fast pressure majority of the game, because of agressive D-line?

[JeffHCross]

Yes. They are jumping the snap on almost every play.

[Oneback]

Title Patch #2 is out. I am going to do some testing tonight to see how this effects the slider set and will let y'all know.

[fsuprime]

early reports from online games has people saying that aggressive DL is alot better now and they are getting alot of offsides calls

[Oneback]

Yeah, it seems as though there is actually a penalty for having your D-Line set to aggressive.
