Home Field Advantage or Not?

I see.

Unfortunately, I sold my PS2 awhile back. I wish I still had it for San Andreas, Raw vs. SD, and NCAA 2005.

just played a few cpu vs cpu games, and i;ve decided to turn it off

it hampers the ability of "good" qb's to be effective on the road...the norm would be home qb 50 percent, road qb 35 percent...thats wack

although, the idea of different levels of HFA is genius...it still is too wide spread...the real advantage should only go to the teams who were in the previous BCS

leave the current level for BCS schools and turn it down considerably for all other programs

also, the ability to "go" HFA, on every snap, for every play, the entire game, is whack as well...first three quarters, have it appear on random drives...then have it cranked for the entire 4th quarter

That's actually a really, REALLY good suggestion... I like the randomness idea...

I've had it off for awhile now and it really helps the game. It does feel a lot like 2004, but I also think 2004 was a better product. I am now seeing my QB and the CPU QB putting up decent numbers with a completion rate that ranges from 35% to 65%. With HFA on, I would normally have a range between 30% and 40%.

the biggest change I've seen in increasing the % is when I moved to Heisman and then lowered the computers (and human) sliders for defensive awareness and knockdowns. My season pass % is around 49% right now (10 games into the season), which is much better than the 35%-45% that plagued me my first few years. I have been playing with the camera shake off since season 2 though if you think that has anything to do with it. I do have a highly rated QB this season with half composure, but I have all sophomore and lower receivers in the mid 80s for ratings, with the exception of a new JC transfer junior that is in the mid 80s but with half composure.

I keep it on, it just adds to the atmosphere that much more. Nothing feels better than beating a team with a rockin' stadium at their house.

On. Why in the world would you want to disable HFA when it's one of the best additions this year. It's not overdone, look at real college football, HFA is huge in college. I think the people who want this off are just doing themselves a huge disservice in realism in an attempt to make their game play easier not to mention watering down the atmosphere.
