I didn't flip out, I just posted a sarcastic response.

You didn't ask a simple and fair question.

You voilated OS TOS.

I don't want an apology, an apology isn't necessary in this situation.

Just please don't come in a thread and ask questions which aren't needed.

Oh hey a bunch of people are posting how they like to make the game more challenging by instituting "house rules". It's probably a good thing if I go in there and question how they can possibly have fun by limiting themselves!

I do not understand that thought process. However to each his own.

If you don't agree with the way someone else enjoys a game, stay out of his thread discussing that.

There was no reason to interject in the first place.

That being said, let's get this back on topic.

And again, if this isn't for you, stay out of the thread.

Conservative on all tackeling, and balanced DL aggressivness.

I pretty much use all the house rules you use NDAlum except for #10. I run the Pistol offense with Indiana and always have a QB who can scramble. Now I don't scramble every play but usually 5-10 times per game when I see the defense is in man coverage and I see a clear running lane. I never run back 20 yards.

For recruiting...

I always recruit in-state first. In my Indiana dynasty 95% of my recruits come from Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Florida. Which is realistic for Indiana. I might have a recruit every once in awhile in Iowa or Minnesota who is interested in me, but the only time I go out of my pipeline states is later in the sesson when I still need spots to fill.

Scheduling. I try to schedule as realistic as possible. Right now with Indiana I have a home & home with Louisville and Boston College. With BC being a home-off-home type series. I then schedule one MAC team and then another non-bcs team. I never schedule FCS teams.

So it is usually
2 BCS teams
1 MAC school
1 Non-BCS team

Some things I've instituted since I've gotten better at the game is, (playing with PlayMakers sliders):

In-Game

1. No switch on D, unless I get bored and want to hit someone because I've been sucking at my LB position.

2. Use Ask Corso religiously.

3. Use special teams except when they ask me to kick a 56-yard FG. Not playing to my strengths...so I just punt instead. (Sick of getting ridiculed for not kicking a FG by the commentators)

Recruiting/Offseason

1. Never recruit somebody who doesn't have me on 3rd or higher on their list. (I play as ND)

2. I recruit regardless to need. Therefore, I will have some weaknesses down the road and won't become this year's Alabama

3. A Notre Dame special, I don't redshirt anyone. Hoping EA does something with 5th-year eligibility.

Scheduling

1. Never joining the Big Ten as ND

2. Have to schedule at least an A- schedule, which includes all of ND's rivals & regular stalwarts (USC, BC, Pitt, Stanford, Purdue, Michigan, Navy, Michigan St.)

Sidenote, can you imagine ND's schedule in a few years when they add home-and-homes with Texas and Miami? Hopefully, they can still keep the Pitt and BC rivalries going.

Basically, as the OP states, I just try not to cheat the game while making it a little more difficult in the process.
