Season Showdown ?

Is it possible to turn off Season Showdown without disconnecting from the internet? This mode is useless to me.

Re: Season Showdown ?

I know some people may not like it, but I dont see how you can dislike it either. I mean, it doesn't change anything gameplay-wise. You can play however you want. And theres no way that seeing a flashing number once every few minutes is that bad.

SS doesn't get in the way or anything. Whats the big deal?

I get what you're saying, but if I want to beat the crap out of the Gators (I am a Dawg fan after all) I don't need EA to call me a poor sport about it. I don't know, it's just something that I never cared for. I'm not saying take it out of the game, but make it optional for those who don't care to participate.

It annoys me when they go overboard with the unsportsmanship penalties

many times I'm throwing to get a 1st down to keep the drive alive, thus killin more clock.

or I may be throwing to keep up with the heisman race...i can't help it if my defense causes 3 to 4 turnovers for easy redzone TDs in the 1st half

Or worse, let's use Houston or SMU for example. These two teams are not known to be very adapt at running the ball so most people will continue to pass even with a lead. Maybe not so much going down field but maybe going to swing passes or screens instead of running the ball. Yet you still get penalized.

It's a big deal because it feels like Big Brother leaning over your shoulder critiquing every move you make. It's a video game for Pete's sake... who needs that?

Many teams in college use the pass as their primary means of moving the football. I don't need to list all the teams, but you can start w/ several in the Big XII alone.

Many people who play this game play it because of the wide open college game. And getting told you're being a bad sport for throwing the ball in the 4th period when you're up by 21 in a game where 21 points can be made up very quickly, is just bull.

The cool though is that there are virtually no consequences for passing the ball anyway. Its not like you need SS points to unlock stuff. Nothing bad comes from playing how you want.
