NCAA Football 10 (Blog #4): New Mexico State vs. Ohio State Stuck

I have to share this story of my game against Ohio State, as I think it demonstrates how an A team will play against a D+ team.

It almost seemed like tOSU was completely unmotivated to play us in the middle of their Big 10 schedule. We jumped out on them with our offense and surprisingly took at 13-6 lead into the half thanks to several tOSU miscues. I'm not sure if there is a motivation attribute or something, but it definitely felt like they did not want to play us at all. I knew in the pit of my stomach what was coming in the second half.

It seems like we were bombarded by the much superior Ohio State team. Our first drive in the second half started off with an interception, which tOSU capitalized on to even the score. They then stopped us three and out and marched down the field again and scored. It was 20-13 tOSU before I could blink. Again three and out, and again we ended up giving up another TD. 27-13.

We then got a long pass play for a TD to pull back within a TD at 27-20. Ohio State was just rolling on offense though, as they went down the field to score again to make it 34-20 early in the fourth. I thought, "let's answer this, get a stop and tie this game". Whoops!

I threw a pick six the next play and then tOSU added a late TD to win the game 48-20. They outgained us 386 to 246. The difference in talent was 100% immediately obvious. Hence why I kinda felt that impending doom at the half when we were up.

BTW this was on Heisman at 7 minute quarters. You HAVE to play at least 7 minutes if you want somewhat realistic numbers.

i played at a friends and the cpu rushing is awful still. this really needs to be fixed with the slider fix. it doesn't help that any sacks bring the CPU rushing totals down as well. i also find it tough to stop the pass b/c of the lack of pass rush. ive had pretty good success holding the CPU to realistic completion percentages but they tear it up through the air against me yardage wise b/c there are way too many times the CPU sits back for 10 seconds and can get wide open eventually. i have no problem rushing with a linebacker or safety on the outside but the D line pass rush is a mess. again, a slider fix would definitely fix this but it's still frustrating.
