Re: I think I'm calling it quits on NCAA 12.
I only really play online dynasty. Offline solo dynasties, road to glory and exhibition games don't matter to me, I like recruiting against people. I used to be in 4 online dynasties with different level teams but slowly but surely that has worked down to 2. One of them got eaten by the transfer failed glitch, the other wasn't competitive and moved too slow and I'm close to dropping a 3rd because it has become 10 or 11 CPU games a year and playing the CPU is just BORING.
In that dynasty, I have challenged myself to not throw a pass the rest of the year and I've gone 6 games now having not thrown a pass. I did have a pass counted against me in one game, but it was a forward option lateral. I run 50 or 60 or 70 times a game with 3 HB, a QB and a FB and using have 3 100 yard rushers and 500 yards rushing.
Sliders are just so hit or miss, a single notch one way or the other is the difference between an incapable CPU and an unrealistic CPU. I have one great OD that I love that is full and competitive with top teams and 4-5 user games a year and the recruiting and user battles are fun, but even then, CPU games are insanely dull. I just don't see how people get joy out of playing the CPU. I suppose if you want to individually edit every player rating and constantly tweak sliders and all that just to get a single good game, more power to you, but just the thought of that is insane.
I'll keep playing the game, I love this OD I'm in, I just started another OD with a buddy where we just recruit and sim and play vs each other once a year but I spend MUCH less time on it than I used to. I actually think I spend more time doing custom playbooks than I do actually using the playbooks.
