Straight up default

[Redbird]

Coach mode...

AA default here too except I am experimenting with slow speed and 20-25 threshold and 10 minute quarters...

second year with Ark St with a victory over ECU at the New Orleans Bowl...

The AI both went for it on 4th down and called a fake punt against me in the same game

havnt missed a fg yet

Cool... I've played coach mode in the past a little but have never used auto pass.

Nolefan, are you using default penalties as well?

Everything is default save for quarter length (7 minutes) and game speed (slow).

Having been from Europe, I only got the game last Friday and was able to play only 2 games so far.
Since I fear Heisman would be too difficult, I prefer AA just as I did in NCAA13.I think default AA on normal, 50 threshold looks fine so far.
Beat Texas A&M with Navy 17-12 in Annapolis in my first game, other than final result the game stats and game play felt excellent, it was very hard for me to move the ball on them on offense while they kept moving the ball on me, in the end I was just able to hold them to 4 FGs and no TDs (Manziel was injured for most of the game). I scored 2 TDs myself (one of them game winning on the last drive) - overall one of the greatest games I played.
Second game was me as Washington State @ Oregon at Autzen Stadium, first two quarters I messed with sliders a little bit (see below) and we were 20-20 at halftime. Second half I went back to default AA, threw a pick-six on my first possesion and in less than 5 mins fell back to 20-37 but was able to recover in the 4th, went ahead 41-40 with 1 min. to go but Oregon scored a game winning TD (failed 2pt conv.) with 0:23 to go. Drove down the field in 12 seconds to Oregon's 20-yard line and threw a pick with my last attempt. Final score 41-46.
I passed for about 500 yards on 30 for 50 passing, 3 TDs, 3 INTs, ran for about 100 yds; Oregon threw for about 200 on 18-26 passing but ran approx. 300 yards on me, their option was really good - and this with backup QB (79 OVR) while Mariota was injured in second half.
My only headscretcher is QB ACC - I struggle, but CPU is a bit too accurate in my opinion. Not sure what to do about it.What I found out already in the demo, and tested in that WAST-OREG game, was that your pass blocking slider affects how tigt CPU corners are covering your WRs. On human pass blocking on 40, my WRs have been wide open, while on 60, CPU DBs sticked to my WRs like glue. Not sure if it works the other way, though - if my DBs cover better if I set CPUs pass blocking at 60 as opposed to default or 40 etc.
What I am thinking is, that if you decrease your pass blocking, CPU thinks it can get to your QB quicker thus leaving your WRs wide open, and vice versa - higher pass block results in tighter coverage because CPU thinks it would not get to you QB in time.Similarly, while playing the demo I thought lowering your rush defense slider will actually make your D against the run better, but to be honest, I did not noticed that in my WAST-OREG game.Overall, I am not a slider guy and would like to stick with default AA - if only I could get the CPU QB passing to an acceptable level...

When you say auto pass coach mode, are you actually picking coach mode or are you picking a side, snapping the ball, and then letting the CPU take over?

I'm doing the latter.

I actually play coach mode AA on 25 threshold and love it
