Am I the only person looking forward to SS?

[VolPett]

I'm going to give it the benefit of a doubt.

The way I see it, it's not gonna hurt anything. I doubt it'll make much difference online, but it's a start. People act like this is the worst thing to ever be added to a video game. Granted, it is a waste of resources the NCAA team could be using on other things, but it can't hurt the game overall. I'm a little interested to see how it works, but more indifferent about it than anything else.

I see a lot of florida, ohio state, and usc fans having a hard time finding Miss States, Northwesterns, and WAZZUs. So in the end we will just have our cluster of everybody being the same core of teams.

My brother plays with MS State online and every time almost when he takes them someone ends up wanting to play him with the Fla, OH States Okls(teams that rank right around 20 points above him). The strange thing his he does have a losing record bad losing record and these people wanting to play him has all the wins in the world(just a bunch of cheesers for the most part) He would like me to ask if they would like to take Western Kentucky Utah State or the Idaho's and play him? He would only be maybe 15 points over them and they already have way more wins than him. They should be able to beat him with those teams shouldn't they?

The team you use is completely irrelevant. Well almost, maybe instead of just running stick to Percy Harvin, you'll have to use a couple more plays, but with how soft coverage is, the team you use doesn't make much of a difference. And if you're looking to ask people, you should probably plug a mic in and do it.

I will never understand why people want to play randoms for the sake of some "points".

I think it is beyond stupid, but whatever floats your boat.

The team you use should have next to no affect on how well you play. The only exception is Florida because of their ridiculous speed ratings. Other than that, you should not win or lose because of your team. The reason being due to how poor pass rush is, how terrible man coverage is, and because how soft the zone coverage is. With the most rudimentary knowledge of football (2>1 is all you need to know), you can shred any defense with any team. [Well, until they start subbing in all their fast players for defense, but this only affects pass protection, and is extremely rare]. I gurantee you (and have tested) that i can take WKU and be within +/-7 points of your score running 5 pass plays and 1 run play.
