If EA got rid of that stupid jump the snap

People would feel a whole lot better about this game.

People use sliders to make the CPU harder to run against. I get it. Then you add in the CPU's innate ability to jump the snap 85% of the time, and it takes a tremendous amount of self control to not throw the controller through the tv.

I like NCAA 13...I just hate how often the CPU jumps the snap, which screws up an already shaky run blocking scheme.

It's weird. Whenever the CPU jumps the snap, I am always passing, so it never affects me.

What do you mean 85% of the time? If you don't vary your snap counts OF COURSE they are going to jump the snap, because they know it's coming. I vary between 1-2-3 counts, and I may see 1-3 jumped snaps on the 50+ offensive plays I have a game...

Exactly, this will always happen if you hike the ball on 1.

yeah i just got in the habit of basically never just snapping the ball, but doing a couple of fake snaps

And, more realistically, you see actual false start/encroachment calls.

Yep, vary the snap = no problem

I do vary my count.

One time I'll snap it at 4, another time, I'll snap it at 17, and if I'm using Oregon, I am going quick...but I'll vary.

Thanks to the guys not being able to hear the play at home now with no huddle, there's no more rushing up and snapping right away, you have to wait 5 seconds on the playclock til they set after running in to hear you.

I messed around with a 2nd controller, and each time, I found the CPU defensive line was set to aggressive. Maybe it's defaulted to aggressive, but it's annoying as hell to see it all the time.

I just ran 74 plays with UCLA, and had 52 jumps (yes, I do keep track of it when I'm testing stuff).
