Anyone else playing as a DC?

I am actually playing it out on the field.. Making a lot of plays like everyone is saying here, but my Offense is killing me.. Bad field position, turnovers, I give them the ball inside the 10 yrd line like 4 times and they came away with field goals all 4 times!!!!!

Started as a DC at San Jose State. Frustrating as hell! I'm going to try to get out of here ASAP but I don't know if anyone will hire me after this awful season.

I let CPU handle all recruiting, except I will do the calls for a couple defensive prospects each week. And, I auto-reorder the depth chart and then only mess with the defense.

Wish SJSU had an offense to help me out! This will be a long season...

Was thinking the same thing, but now wondering what builds up your coaching prestige more, turning around a sorry program, or jumping to a good program n maintaining it. ?????

I'm playing mine similarly. It's still really fun, even if my offense sucks so bad and we keep losing.

i'm not gonna lie, i'm enjoying so far (but only after one game).

i'm tulane's DC and have custom conf out the wazoo so i have them in the sun belt. (most of the teams i put there are all around a 68 or 70 ovr).

i played east carolina away for the first game and really enjoyed the experience. the offense was awful and my D got passed on big late.

especially in no huddle.

lost 20-13 in OT in the rain.

gave up 309 thru the air but only 24 rushing yards. and sacked QB 5 times. computer executed a slot end around to the short side of the field perfectly and scored on 2nd and goal from the 14.

then the offense failed to tie.

I am also playing as the SJSU defensive coordinator.
6 minute quarters on Heisman proved too long the first game, Andrew Luck and Stanford had 14 possessions. They also converted that into a 71-0 win.
On to UCLA I guess...

So what's the best quarter length for this mode? I usually play on 8 mins to try and get the average number of plays in a real game. I think the simming during games are pretty quick this year only taking around 5-7 seconds per play I think is what somebody said.

Is anyone else having a problem when playing as the DC the other teams gets around 70-90 snaps a game? That's not realistic at all...

If it helps, I'm playing 8 minute quarters.
