The patch fixed nothing (360)

i'm not sure what im doing different but the most ints my Defense had in one season is 22. including the bowl and championship games.

i was not even in the top 25 compared to the rest of the teams in most ints.

That's still a ton of INTs and on the unrealistic side. On the default settings, there are far too many interceptions by the cpu. Even with massive slider tweaks there are too many but it gets better and I can live with it.

For the op, lower human defensive awareness to 0 and drop both INT sliders to 0. You should also consider raising the cpu QB accuracy slider (which acts more like an ability slider). Lowering the knockdown slider will also help (try 25 for both sides). It will help reduce the cpu interceptions.

Raising running back ability will significantly cut down on fumbles as well. The cpu rarely fumbles against me.

The PS2 is still a quality machine producing quality games, at a tremdously lower price. Aside from graphics, the PS2 version is so much better because of the included features.

What are the features in the PS2 version that aren't in the NG versions?
I might pick it up.

22 for the high seems normal to me. 3 teams this year in real life had 23. i played with MTSU and they had 18 this year in real life, only 4 off and i had an extra game with a bowl game.

in my 5 seasons i had 22, 20, 14, 15, 22. 4 of the 5 seasons were pre-patch.

I have thought this many times myself. While the graphics in most cases are fantastic, the games in general don't seem to be as fun, and many are missing things from the previous gen, or things that have worked fine for years are broken. Of all the games I have purchased, I don't know if I have really gained that much.

Where did you look these numbers up at from prior seasons?

once the bowl games are finished and i save it, i save again as a new file and then continue to off-season. so each year is a different dynasty file. that way i can reload a specific year to look at stats, who i played and who won each NC among other things.

good idea. I might start doing that if I can remember to.
