Yep, Moore did his damage for me on 50, though I do see more than NFL rate of drops. But, yeah same here. His 95 SPC is going to do those things (speaking of Moore). Probably would on 40, which I would use if not for the coin flip nature of the catching there.

So Into the 3rd QTR and I'm thinking why is Bush in the game but I throw him the ball anyway. I purposely try to get out of bounds and the the guy hits me anyway! But they call unnecessary roughness! That's why the replay cuts off. It won't let me show anything past that.

I hear you guys on the catching thing but honestly, don't knock it till you try it. it's not about more spectacular catches for average players. I don't know why you insist on thinking that is happening or that nobody is dropping the ball. It isn't about Slider 25 points higher means 25% more of players can do a crazy supercool looking catch. It's about balancing the passing game and ALLOWING for their to be jump balls where the WR can go up for it as well as the DBs can without turning the INT slider all the way down, or or changing the penalties. It just WORKS. I still see drops, I still see guys not getting their feet in. I still rarely see a great catch. No one on the dolphins is jumping over anyone for me. I have 2INTs and no TDs. Plug them in and see for yourself..

If I'm using coach mode and let the CPU take over for me after the snap, do I stick with the user sliders or go equal using the CPU sliders?

I can't say for the longer term because I don't do coach mode exclusive. I have do have coach mode on and sometimes I let it throw and haven't had seen anything dumb but thats a limited amount of throws. If anything start at HUM then go to CPU if it doesn't work for ya.

Played my first game. It was preseason so wasn't to worried about stats just getting a feel for the game play. It was very fluid. Could really tell the difference between studs and scrubs. Stats did seem pretty good as well.

Here's a nice break off of the press coverage and a 15 yard fade to the back of the endzone by the cpu. Looked really nice.

I have. Heck, you see I'm using 75 WR Catch on some of my sets and like I said, 50 can/did-for-me create too many drops.

So I start my tenure as head coach getting blown at at home 40-9 to the damn Buccaneers. Imagine the dismay of the fans! haha I tried to test the throws a little bit and paid for it. Check out this lowlight. Thigpen did show great hustle closing on that LB.

As you can see I was horrible on offense. My guys dropped the ball due to me trying to do too much. I forced some passes testing Moore's weak arm and it proved weak (not even on deep throws, just to the sidelines). In the 2nd half i pretty much went exclusive blitzing to try to stop the run and you see how that worked out for me. I contained blount a bit. He got off to a hot start and slowed down but he was still getting first downs when they needed it. Gave them SEVEN red zones possesions.

I ran 60 plays based on attempts from QB and RB. CPU Ran 65. Throw in my handful of sacks from all the blitzing on backup qbs and its around 70. 15 minute QTRs, 15 second run off. I might want fatigue to factor in even more.

Not on a set where everything is already out of wack. Plug in the sliders on the OP and tell me I'm wrong..
