Now after over a week, which difficulty is better for you (Varsity or AA)?

As a good team I want to win and win big sometimes but I also need the cpu to be able to score if I make repeated mistakes.

actually i choose the other way... in College, there are many games were QB end up with pass% below 50. I want to overthrow, underthrows passes as in real life.

I´m playing QB acc at 10 and CPU at 5.. great games on this level. and i got the challenge i couldn´t find on other levels without making the cpu superhuman as they are on default.

I play on AA with all settings at default. This is apparently the level that all players play according to their ratings. I started 3-0 in my SMU dynasty - squeaked by Texas Tech and had fairly competitive wins against UAB and WA St. Then #5 TCU came into town and put me in my place 37-10.

Pretty realistic to me.

I've tried them all and there are merits to all 3 (I don't ever touch Freshman).

Playmakers sliders are great on Varsity for most situations.

AA seemed pretty fair, but I never consistently got good games.

Heisman does have some BS, but it's where I end up year after year.

ODogg, this is his site. You may still need to tweak some things to fit your perspective, but for the most part, his suggestions do make the game more enjoyable.

My favorite route is 15-20 yrd inside/outside comeback. It's beautiful and challenging because it requires me to look at the total picture (WR vs DB/zone vs man) while under a rush.

Heisman is the way to go. Just need to decide what speed to play on, because teams (option) tend to play as they should and against better teams, mistakes add up to a beat-down.

AA for me. i think i've found a pretty good balance. once i get into conference play, i think i'm going to have a pretty good challenge on my hands.
