Staying in the Zone --- 40 Yard Dash

[Kungfuj0]

Yes, please post some tips as to what are making these drills so easy. I am having trouble with both the 40 and the bench press. I thought I had the bench press down pretty good, but then I tried to create somebody and the 16 reps I did only gave him a 23 for strength. Then I go online and see that people are getting 30-40 reps, and for the life of me, i can't figure out how they're doing it.

I hit the LT/RT buttons when the weight falls, but I still can't seem to get past the 16-18 rep mark. And then there's always those 1-2 reps where the comp says it doesn't count even tho I can't see anything that I did wrong.

As far as the 40, the best I've done is a 4.55, and that was sheer luck. I got into the zone but came right back out of it. I haven't been back in it since then though.

And what is the deal with some of the challenges? Like the qb challenge...I think I'd do pretty well with that if I could look at my wr's routes and see where they are supposed to go, but the game won't let you do that, so I have no clue where my guys are going until they get there! Of course by then, it's usually too late, but oh well....

I suck at the 40, QB drill, and the coverage/WR drill. I need tips on all of these. I have never been in the zone. To get in the zone do you have to go as fast as you can or maintain a rhythm?

Maintain a rhythm. I've gotten it down pat pretty much, I posted how I do it in another thread. Basically, I finally just started to relax my fingers and now I get and stay in the zone virtually every time. Let me see if I can find that post...

Here: "A tip for the 40, lay the controller flat on the ground, hold it down with your thumbs under each thumbstick. Use your index fingers to flick the sticks back alternatively. The biggest part is to RELAX YOUR FINGERS. I was having trouble until I did this. Now that I relax my fingers, I get a solid rhythm much more easily, and I now average between a mid 4.3 and a high 4.4. For the bench press, make sure you tap the triggers after you put the bar up to get more stamina. Also, start the next rep a little before the bar gets into the blue or you'll get a bigger drop in stamina. See if this helps."

I'm pretty sure 4.10 is the lowest you can go in the game. I'm choosing to ignore the second part of your post.
