what most people dont understand about my anger is i played this game 5 times. I backed out the four times i was going to lost because i felt like i was getting rape robbed every time. Not much point in playing when the game and the other team is out to screw you with no lube. That within itself is living proof that its not just the fact that i was playing florida on the road, i can handle that. its the fact that theres a magestical invincible factor being put into the equation for the other teams performance and downgrading yours at the same time. I played florida in play now mode and beat them by 17 on the first try.
but having played them 5 times, beating their cpu offense goes a little something like this.
put your defense in a nickel formation for every play.
1. first down- nickel strong. control the linebacker thats covering demps. They run on first down nearly all the time so make the tackle or make him redirect into a defensive tackle.
2. second down- nickel normal. cover 1 press. play a d-end and put a spin move on the outside. Key is you have to control the end on the side that doesent have zone coverage. this way you force the qb to look the other way and throw towards the safety creeping up into the routes in zone coverage. this usually results in a collision making the reciever drop the ball or a short gain.
3. third down. use nickel normal. the cover 2 package with the olb and corner blitzing. blitz from the unprotected side and control the cornerback. rip *** on that qb. he'll usually throw the ball quick and make an errant throw or the reciver getting his hands on it usually gets walloped into an incompletion.
one thing you have to be aware is that when florida goes into a 5wr set, you have to press their recievers. have to or you will get burned hard.
