What difficulty are you using to go 8-8? I don't know what it is maybe the dolphins are just rated well this year but I can't seem to lose with them. Only close game I've seen so far was against the giants. I'd like to lose some games but I seem to be able to dominate whichever team I play against. I know its not me so I'm just curious what level you guys are playing on so I can try it out.

I play on All-Pro with these slider adjustments:

My sliders if anyone wants them. I am about to start my 2nd season. 20 being default for All Pro setting. 9 minute quarters.

Human/Computer

block 15/15
pass 15/15
run 15/15
catch 15/15
pur 28/28
cover 20/20
tkl 28/28
kick 15/15
Fat 20/20

I also play as the Dolphins and can't seem to get the CPU to sucessfully pass against me. Human coverage is at 10, cpu passing, blocking and catching are at 30. Maybe the Dolphins DBs are overrated (all over 90). I just held Bledsoe to 10 for 22 for 100 yds just letting the coach call the defense.

they are definitely a tad bit overrated, just a lil bit though. I can't do anything passing against them.

Miami doesn't give up many points in real life either though. How do they do against the run ??

hell when I played them in the regular season in my 1st season, I was losing too bad to try running the ball.

I'm not yet complete with year 1 of my Bucs franchise, but here's how its shaping up.

I started off by losing my first 3 games!

I lost Keyshawn for 4 weeks in my first game and Jurevicious for 2 weeks. Got Keyshawn back just in time for the Indy game, but he was not 100% (he was listed as probable). He dropped many passes but he did have the BIGGEST catch that night for a TD as we ended up winning our first game 10 - 3.

But then we lost our next 2 to Wash and SanFran. Turnovers are killing us. Brad Johnson shares the lead for most INT's in the league and Michael Pittman was leading the league in Fumbles. Our record was a whopping 1-5 at the end of week 7. So I made a drastic coaching change and benched Pittman starting Thomas Jones. Since then I have gone 4 - 1, losing to Green Bay. Our turnovers have decreased tremendously as Jones has just 1 fumble in 5 games and Brad Johnson has not thrown 1 INT since week 7.

My only concern is, even though we have gone 4 - 1, that 1 loss was to the only team with a winning record in those 5 games. I beat the Cowboys, Saints, Panthers, and just recently squeezed by the Giants (GW FG with 2 sec left)...all which have losing records. The only win I have against a winning team is Indy.

So I am now sitting at 5-6 and I am the division leader. Shows u how bad the NFC south is

.

Next up Jacksonville, who are 4-7

....thats good for us. Trying to break .500 for the first time this season.

Heelfan71 · 10-03-2003, 08:39 AM

So far I am 3-1 and Vick has only thrown 1 int so far.

W 42-7 (Dallas)
L 34-6 (N.O.)
W 21-14 (Carolina)
w 31-16 (Jacksonville)

Jacksonville is Starting Leftwich in season #2. He as 23 for 36 with 320 yds against me.
