Is there a Coach Mode 101 thread or a thread that explains how to play coach mode games and breaks it down for a newb like me? Do you call the plays and let the cpu carry out the play? Any help appreciated.

That is it. Just make sure you go to controller layout and turn "auto throw" to on. You still have to do the kicking but that is it.

Just played a game vs A&M and got spanked 50-9. They got the momentum meter in their favor early and I couldn't come back. They ran all over me with the option. VERY tough to stop option teams in coach mode especially without talent. I will post stats and updated sliders later, about to play 3-2 Oklahoma St at home

Havent posted in a while but still have been playing. I won the Big 12 north my first season with Kansas then got spanked by OK in conference championship game, then lost to Auburn in bowl game. Played the better part of season 2, adjusting sliders as I played, finished 7-5 winning bowl game over UCONN. I will now be starting a new dynasty with the Arizona Wildcats. I am already tired of playing the big 12 north, the scheduling there is still screwed up as I have played the bottom 3 Big 12 South teams each season, and I want to get the newest rosters as I have been playing with the first set that came out. I have been using the same set of sliders for several games now and think they are just about perfect for me. I do not anticipate adjusting these too much::

Hum/CPU (7 min quarters AA)
Offense
45/45
55/55
55/55
55/55
60/60

Defense
50/50
70/70
15/0
45/45
55/55

ST
40/25
40/25
50/50
50/50
50/50

I have played the first 2 games of my Arizona dynasty with the following results:

San Diego St 14 - Arizona 28 (only partial stats)
Passing: SDSU 269 yds 2 TD 1 INT - Ari 9/21 158 1 TD 2 INT

Passing: 14/23 172 2 TD 1 INT - 14/20 178 1 TD 1 INT
Rushing: 36-165 (RB1 28-142) - 28-79 (RB1 23-90)
Sacked: 2-2

Next game is home against defending Pac 10 champ USC. We think we have a punchers chance

One of those games where I got momentum early and never let up. Washington is a bad bad team.

1 change I am making to my sliders is changing Human INT from 15 to 10

Next up is a tough trip to 4-0 #22 UCLA

Does anyone know how to get the triple option to work? I'm playing in CL and would like to be able to use the triple option a lot more but I can't get it to work without running it myself...and that kinda defeats the whole purpose of coach mode.
