In the real game it isn't as bad thankfully because the computer doesn't always come out in zone, but it kills the triple option for me sometimes because no matter how often I go up the middle with the fullback, I decide to send a back to the outside, poof, they know what I'm doing instead of drawing towards the FB like would happen in real life.

To be honest I have always kind of felt like the computer kinda knew what play I was going to run on every down, I think it just becomes more apparent the more you turn up the difficulty. And sure, it's not going to be so blatant on every play, or the game would be considered broken. I DO believe though, this is EA's way of making it feel completive, if they would rewrite the game code, maybe they wouldn't have to cheat, to make the game feel difficult.

Believe me there is no way I can get offended by someone like you man... Haha! You obviously don't understand what I'm saying. I'M NOT HAVING THE PROBLEMS YOUR HAVING. I don't know how much simplier I can explain it to you..

I've mentioned it on here that I coach DBs before and if I ever caught my corner trying to make a play in the middle of the pile they'd never play again. Why? Play action. Play the pass, worry about the run second. It doesn't matter if it's man or zone. Their area is outside. Not making plays on runs. The only time they should ever be in the backfield is if they are on a blitz, and unlike the game likes to represent it, corners just don't blitz very often. It's very risky, especially if the QB picks up on it. EDIT: I don't have difficulty running the ball on the game. I can usually have good success. But that doesn't make it right that the corners play like that because it's not.

Exactly, how is it that you will see CB's rush the HB on run plays...but NOT on play action plays? If the rushed on play action sometimes maybe it wouldn't be so obvious they were cheating on the run plays...

I see exactly what Jericho is saying now haha.

Here's the thing, it's not always a problem; it's an annoyance. It's unrealistic. I can beat the system by going up the gut 35 times a game and get tons of yards... which is even more unrealistic. You'd think they would start picking up on it after awhile but they don't. I could run the ball up the middle a dozen times, but if I then call a run to the outside and they go into that cover 2 zone, that CB is on me like white on rice, unless I compensate... which I shouldn't have to do. CB should not know which way I'm running at the snap.

What you mean to say is, you're not noticing what I am noticing, because you do not have an eye for football as I do. Its OK I have moved on, I have two small children, and I cannot expect them to have the same kind of understanding about football as I do, nor should I expect you to. Maybe after my boys have played college football, like me, then I could give them a hard time for thinking that this game is fine the way it is.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

I could have sworn I just told you I have a lot of success with the outside run(with no compensation). You keep bringing up the inside run. I'm gonig to leave it alone. We're just going to have to agree to disagree on this issue.

Haha! Thanks for the laugh. Go ahead and live in your own fantasy land if you believe your football knowledege is better then mine. I'm going to leave it alone. Only thing I can suggest you do is get in the lab buddy..
