It's obvious that some option plays in the game are screwed up. If you've never found this to be the case, then good for you. You either call all the ones that work, or you have the mystical perfect copy of the game that some guys claim to have every year. But if something in the game is screwed up for the CPU, then it stands to reason that to some degree it's screwed up for the user. After all, you can't make all the blocks yourself--you have to rely on the CPU to do part of the work even on your own team.

So its supposed to be perfect?? I dont get where u arecoming from. I am racking up 300 a game using read option on heisman. My qb gets around 75 a game and his speed is just 79. I guess you all just want perfection but you will never get it

are they really saying they can't run the option or are they saying the CPU can't run the option?

I think most people would prefer if the CPU could run the option....that is the only gripe i have with it

Like myself, a lot of players play this game looking for the realest-to-life football experience as opposed to winning or having a "successful" dynasty. As quoted above: "they don't play the drag". Problem is, You're not applying football strategy to the game. Your just gaming the game. You're exploiting weaknesses in the programming to win. . That's not fun to me. The issues DO exist. There are tons of videos. Putting up big numbers in a area of complaint does not prove that those complaints are invalid. In their attempt to make the game balanced, EA has implemented a large number of "compensations" within the game. For example, Guards have ridiculously high acc ratings, WR's have low juke/spin/elusiveness ratings, and QB's now have a restraint on their acceleration on most option plays... And yes I get it. Without these compensations, guards would never be able to pull in time, WR's would be too difficult to tackle among the secondary, and people would keep cheesing defenses to death with the option and wildcat. The problem is, each of these "compensations" takes away from the reality of the game. For me, watching a QB like Denard Robinson not be able to sprint away from a DT made of molasses because of some "compensation" is a complete mood killer. Recruiting a true dual threat QB and building a spread option dynasty around him in NCAA 11 was the most fun I had in a dynasty since Dynasty Mode was created. Not sure if there is such a thing as a true dual threat QB this year. Hope some of these issues get fixed. Issues aside, I'm really impressed with the game.

Dude reading coverages is football strategy. Read the end on read option is football. Crossing routes against man coverage is strategy. I start my reads pre snap. My qb had one game over 190 rush yards with 79 speed. If you make proper reads, and audible and get in tbe right play thats football strategy

Yes, but they don't run it often unless they're a pistol or option run team.

I don't care if you personally rush for ten thousand yards a game on Heisman. Blocking is still screwed up on some option plays. That's all I'm saying.

Please don't try to claim that plays where the blocking schemes are screwed up is realistic. It's not.

Dont try and claim where blocking correct every single play is realistic. Lol. Stop whining like a ***** and adjust your game to difficulties. We have the same game and it seems i am getting better execution so its not the games. Its u
