No huddle sim vs. exploit

[Go Blue 26]

Hey guys, as NCAA 14 draws nearer, and I prepare to venture into ranked online again, I wanted to gather some opinions.

When does the no huddle offense cross the line from simulation gameplay to an exploit?

The reason I ask is because I really enjoy using custom playbooks, especially with a spread option flavor, and I wanted to know when it is considered "sim" to use no huddle, so that I don't use the no huddle in an exploit situation.

Re: No huddle sim vs. exploit

Well, with the no huddle being driven off of personnel restricted packages this year, I think it's far less exploitable than last year. I think you're good, man,

I think they took this aspect in the right direction this year, big time

Some would say using custom playbooks in itself isn't sim. Use the school you are using playbook.

Generally, just huddle when the clock stops.

What about a long gain down the field that is pushed out of bounds? I know you said generally, but I just wanted to qualify.

Until the fix the dang time it takes to pick a play on no huddle, there is nothing sim about it.

Unless you're within 2 minutes of the end of a half the clock doesn't stop when you go out of bounds.

This

A play can be picked and snapped just about as fast as you can get set

Yes, but the quarters aren't 15 min when playing online, so it really evens out.

Just don't no huddle when the clock stops, after an incomplete pass, etc.

Re: No huddle sim vs. exploit

I like to run no huddle. The only time I don't is after I get sacked, tackle for loss, incomplete pass, or my guys are tired. Is that considered sim? I've played a bunch of guys and nobody has complained yet. The only complaint I heard from 1 guy was me changing formations. Like I start in shotgun normal: 3wr, 1te, and 1 rb. And I would flip to other nickel formations and sometimes 4 wide. I could see If I was in a jumbo package and went to 5 wide. I never do that. We all know it's nickel packages with the y flexed out wide in the slot. Is that sim? Of course he could didn't stop me from scoring. And I always use at least 70 % of the whole playbook. Not just a couple of plays.

Was it just me, or was there a lag on the demo for selecting your next play, when you no huddle. I can understand this as the offense, but the defense should be able to select their play and call their defensive hot routes or what ever you call them.

That is a PS3 specific bug in the demo.
