In my offline Dynasty, I was 10-1 going into the Iron Bowl vs Auburn. Auburn is a spread, no-huddle team, so I adjusted HC Gus Malzahn's hurry up philosophy from "aggressive" to "conservative". I also did this for the OC, as his was set to aggressive also.

The game played great! The CPU ran exactly ZERO hurry up plays! It actually played like a realistic football game, rather than backyard cheesiness. I'm really glad that setting/option works as it's supposed to.

It was also the best game I've played on 14, but I must add that it's also the first game I've played since whatever retail patch or tuner since I played off disc today (was using season ticket before)

Anyway, I barely won, 23-20 in OT. Auburn (CPU) was very effective at running, both the dual threat QB and HB. Tre Mason was injured and did not play, but even the backup HB had a good game. CPU ran for 193 yards, and that makes me very pleased.

In closing, being able to address the issue I had with way too much no huddle will go a long way into making this game much more enjoyable for me and my play style preferences.
At this point you should expect Auburn to run it nearly the full game. Gus has run the no-huddle spread for years and done quite well with it. Something like 5 state championships at the HS level, 3 top 5 NCAA offenses, and 2 Heisman candidates (one winning).

Hooray for making teams not play like their real-life counterparts...?

Re: No Huddle Takes Over The World

Agreed. If they're no huddle, let em roll.. In the college football realm we are in now, teams switch to the spread and no huddle all the time. Hell, even Nebraska turned up the heat at times on people while running the inverted veer and play action with T Magic. This game is cool, and I've played em all since Bill Walsh. If we sit back and ball up, we'll all appreciate it a lot more. Blogs and things cloud our thinking of how the game is. I'm not bashing anyone, I love the reads, but since we all buy it, perfect what you can and move on.

How is Auburn running zero no-huddle plays realistic?

You're right, Auburn not running any no huddle is not realistic.

The game was to test the effectiveness of that CPU coaching option, and it worked well.

Going forward what I plan to do is set teams that run real life no-huddle to "normal", and other teams to conservative.

Not a bad idea. Good luck!

Re: No Huddle Takes Over The World

I don't mind all the no-huddle teams because that's what we're seeing college football today. It's not unrealistic. What I do mind is that every one of them runs the no-huddle every single play unless the clock is stopped. That part is unrealistic. It'd be nice to see teams mix things up instead of having to play nickel/dime packages the entire game against them.
