Powerhouse OD - General Discussion Thread

apparently 5 wr is unstoppable now with new patch/tuner set, anyone tried it yet?

[Oneback]

I have not, but I am sure I will see it quite a bit when playing Notre Dame tonight.

Please if everyone can get on and play around a little and let me know what you think of all the sliders. From some of the pass defense issues I am going to do some slider tweaking after my game tonight.

Depends, did you hear that from Rhombic? Because I'm pretty sure he's been claiming that since day 1.

5 WR is always unstoppable on certain routes ... there's no defense in the game that will match up against 5 WRs.

[JeffHCross]

That would be him and the position is what I thought he might be. I probably should have taken him last year as I need a FB but I was a little worried to say the least. Nice find.

I didn't even think about FB. He was so low rated in everything they show for ATH, I didn't see anything that he could be.

i read it from him, and on this sites forum to, basically man defense has been nerfed back to 2009 lol

[JeffHCross]

( eyeroll )

The only thing I've seen posted about Man Defense was from him. Now, I was playing the CPU, not HUM, and I barely saw any difference in man defense. Considering I was playing a top 10 team, I was expecting a much bigger challenge.

[fsuprime]

yea thats why i was asking here about it, i have not been able to play yet, i have a game vs OU in a different OD so ill know how user v user is tonight or tomorrow

[Kingpin32]

Damn how I go from 11-2, to 0-4....

[Papa LoneStar]

*cough*Oregon*cough*

[Kingpin32]

Well now it's 0-5 thanks to you lol.

[JeffHCross]

For the record, Kingpin, I don't think you can actually get fired in an OD. My job approval has never been out of the red, and was almost 0 last season.

I was hypothetically speaking, since I'll make a request to take over Oregon at the end of the season. I just wanted to give a back story if it's approved

[fsuprime]

fine with me, their defense is probably worse off (base roster wise) than my auburn D was last year

Based on what I saw last night, anybody who says man defense is nerfed is clearly on something, or just looking for something to raise an issue about. I'm sure there are certain plays (5 WR in particular) that break it. But man defense itself is doing just fine.

Snoop and I had a play last night where his CB literally led my WR on an out route by about 3 yards ... and, of course, was in perfect position to pick the ball.

The one thing I've noticed the last few weeks is that speed/agility/"fast" players seem to be at a premium on the defensive side. I don't know which rating it is (I would suspect a combination of all three), but there is a pronounced difference in the coverage performance of my Buckeyes and the other teams I'm playing. I would largely attribute this to the ratings, since I probably leaned on the conservative side when creating my team. Plus I know my defenders are slower than most of this year's college players.

[psusnoop]

That highlight was just sick. I swear CB Morris was the one running the route. Everyone should check that out when they get a chance.

I really wanted to post that deep curl route TD but of course I couldn't. GRR.....

[psuexv]

Man I wish I had corners like that. I get beat up on man coverage. I place some of this on the fact that I am starting two Sophomore CBs though.... at least I hope that's it.

yea i had my game (fsu @ ou 2010)user v user last night with luvtotha9s newest rosters...OUs DBs were still leading my WRs a good bit and my CBs who are not as good were still in decent position, the game saw 9 interceptions lol (this was also on heisman though, not sure if that affects anything).

[Kingpin32]

Texas DBs were also leading my receivers a lot, but I really noticed it when Papa used the Play the Pass strategy also.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah I can't stand when the DB's know your routes from the snap where they are running it for you

[texacotea]

Hence me making the statement last season that man coverage is garbage. if ran 90% of the time
