I think its dead on even though I primarily pass the ball...to me the key is utilizing your RBs strengths and patience

I love hitting the hole and then pressing turbo to boost thru it and try to bounce it outside (smaller back) for a big gain

I also like to see my FB catch it in the open field and try to truck whoever is first.

I also like the inconsistency and not knowing whether or not its gonna be agood day on the ground unlike NCAA's of the past where I could count on my 150+ running HB Directs

Perhaps you're just a better gamer on the stick? I think this is a good example of why EA will never make a game that makes everyone happy, everyone has different talent levels. If they made the game "just right" for someone like you then I'm sure people like myself and others who are more average on the controls would scream that it was way too hard!

damn, everyone loving the running game. I'm like #109 in the nation in running. I'm pretty sucky at offense in general, and i use UCLA. Maybe if Chris Markey wasnt hurt....

I was like #119 (last) at one point in rushing. I too suck on offense and I'm just tweaking the sliders in my favour for offense until I improve.

Really liking the running game myself. I'm playing as Oregon right now and Jonathan Stewart just busted the sickest run I've ever seen in this game. Of course that happened to be the only game I've ever had were I wasn't allowed to save the video..... l;kjfa;lsdjfl;skfdjl;k!!*@&!@#($0asfdjl;safjka#@345wejiofau)*#290

For years now there has been the debate about whether or not the Center calling out the blocking assignments was just an animation for show, or if it had a real effect.

One person would claim that the developers said that it was just for show, another person would claim just the opposite. I always tended toward drinking the Kool-Aid myself, but wasn't totally convinced.

Well I'm totally convinced now that it does work. I just played a game where I was getting blown up in the backfield time after time, and my guys were missing blocks left and right.

I remembered reading yesterday a reminder about the center point on another board, so I started waiting for the Center to point and it was like night and day, guys weren't whiffing every other play and the fullback was actually getting in the hole and kicking out the backer instead of blocking air.

Someone may come in here and say that its all in my head, but thats O.k. as long as I'm getting 5 yards a pop instead of -1 I don't mind being delusional.
