I play as SS or FS and I can defend alot of passes and nothing feels "for sure". Stopping the run pretty much the same thing. Read run, commit and play containment to force back into the D and I can maintain around 60 to 80 yards on the ground against me. The pass is high 100s to low 200s. All seems realistic to me. I think the ONLY issue is the PASS RUSH

i disagree.. if you have a grea pass rush, you will get sacks.. but even then there is no point of rushing the qb if he is going to
a) throw to the hot route (quick pass) every time
b) 100 accuarate even with a DL on his face
c) no overthrows/underthrows
d) WR/DB react unrealistc to those overthrows/underthrows adjusting their route un a very unrealitic way.

so pass rush is not the only issue.

Eh, I threw 3 picks, he took a kickoff back for a TD. I drove inside his 10 4 times on 6 possessions.

We'll play again and barring me self imploding, it will be a close game.

With FSU I could get away with playing Dime and bump and run and beat the high powered Vandals. But again it should not have to take FSU and there highly ranked secondary to do that. I should be able to take any mid 80 team Nebraska, Michigan, Notre Dame , well maybe not ND and do the same but I don't think I can. Next game I will pick a team with a secondary thats not so good. And try the same thing. Offensively I really was not playing I was basically running up the gut with a few passes here and there, I just wanted to see If I can stop the vaunted Idaho Vandals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bingo, anyone that says the only problem right now is the pash rush doesnt understand why the CPU is tearing people up.

So Ram and I played again.

Nebraska (Ram) vs Idaho (Me).

He won 28-21.

The stats were literally dead even....

First Downs Nebraska 16 Idaho 16
Total Offense Nebraska 296 Idaho 290

The difference? Turnovers Nebraska 1 Idaho 3.

I fumbled at his 2 yard line on a hit by his safety.

Got picked off on a pass at his 4 yard line (It was a deep throw though.)

I even forced the only punt of the game...and proceeded to fumble the punt return, which his slow linemen took back to my 5 yard line, outrunning Many Many faster players for a good 50 yards.

I'm getting more depressed each time I play because honestly, this the 5th freaking game I've played using a team that is 25-30 points lower than my opponent overall and I've been beaten badly only once....that's it. Every other game I've either won or been within a score.

It's really getting old having every game go like this.

TD
TD
Int
TD
FG
Punt
TD
TD
FG
FG
Fumble
INT
FG
TD.

"Turnover or Touchdown" every friggin' game.

Good luck playing against FSU bro! I played Rob_51 the other night online he was FSU I was Cincy, I've never in my life took the field like that with nothing to offer offensively. That FSU secondary is crazy good!! Plus, Rob_51 can play too, he's got skills! I took a beating!

I know thats why I chose FSU they are NASTY, they are probably the only team you can sit in bump and run all day and get away with it. There secondary is sick all 94+ speed and great coverage skills heck they are 99 on D, I have no idea why they are not ranked. On the game they are easily a top ten team
