NCAA 11 Michigan Defense

[tree3five]

I was wondering what kind of defense and personel everyone is using for Michigan. I know its early and there are still a few position battles, but what does everyones depth chart look like for Michigan's defense and are you using 3-3-5, 3-4, 4-3, or something else?

I am speaking in pure speculation here, but I would imagine they are using a 3-3-5 scheme, with the third safety; rover, really being a safety-LB hybrid, since that is what Rodriguez mainly utilized while at West Virginia.

It is a 3-3-5 Base with what they call the "spur" and "bandit". What those positions are, I don't know.

Re: NCAA 11 Michigan Defense

M's defense last season was a 4-2-5, Craig Roh is a hybrid de/lb that plays more DE/LB... Just two ILB's...

Re: NCAA 11 Michigan Defense

3-3-5 is the defense they will use.
Floyd though is gone from the program so he won't be playing as the starting CB in it

It's JT Turner that left. Floyd will be the number 2 corner in the opener. Also Michigan really uses multiple sets on D including the 3-3-5, 4-2-5 and 4-3

Re: NCAA 11 Michigan Defense

Michigan is moving to a 3-3-5 defense this year, but from what I've seen from game film from last year and the spring game, it is pretty similar with their alignments.

I don't like how the man-2-man defenses line up in the 3-3-5 or the 4-2-5 defenses so I've decided that I'm going to use the 3-4 this year. My lineup looks like this, but it could change by the start of the season:

LE Greg Banks
NT Mike Martin
RE Ryan Van Bergen

LOLB Craig Roh
MLB Obi Ezeh
MLB Jonas Mouton
ROLB Thomas Gordon

LCB JT Floyd
SS Jordan Kovacs
FS Cameron Gordon
RCB Troy Woolfolk

I was leaning a little towards this setup also. in the game I dont like how the 3-3-5 uses Roh as an OLB, not enough plays to blitz him. thanks for the help

Re: NCAA 11 Michigan Defense

I use the 3-4 as well since that is what I know from my high school days. I honestly don't know the 3-3-5 or how to use it correctly.

On an off topic note does anyone know how the hell to run out of the gun? Seems like every time I try and run Shaw/Smith out of the read or just the spread their DL get in the back field and get me for a lose; EVERY TIME this seems to happen. Now in the "i" or the pro set I can run pretty effectively but out of the spread I can never gain ground. It also seems no matter what D I read or how I set up the CPU they always know I am going to run.

Also is there a way to adjust the zoom while playing the game? It seems the graphics are really nice when you zoom in on replay but during actual play they look like junk, not every sharp, jaggies all over the place and I cannot read the names on the back of the jerseys.

Thanks and sorry to OP for hijacking your topic.

no need to be sorry, we can talk anything Michigan or NCAA Football in here

I can run pretty well in shotgun, for me its real important to follow your blocks. I also put WRs and TEs in motion to the side I am running too. On the read options I watch the DE or OLB, if they stay put I hand it off, if they come in hard, I keep it. Dont know if this helps or not.
