- if you have a specific passing attack (short quick passes, attacking a specific defender, etc) just try and vary the formations/plays but you can use a strategic attack
- Running a simple handoff is fine even if it's repetitive (ex big back just runs dives, small back just runs tosses)

•You can sim any game you want (NO SUPER SIMMING), if the advance day comes up and really havent had time to play but want to I will extend the deadline.

**** GOTW ****
TEXAS A&M vs 9 GEORGIA

Last year I felt like the SEC had a down year. Alot of teams were in a rebuilding year at the same time and LSU was the beneficiary of that with a smooth walk to the Natty. This year most of the conference has taken a step forward so the competition should be closer to what we typically expect when you hear "SEC Football". Gameday will open up in Aggyland as Texas A&M hosts the Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia's offense should still be exciting but their defense lost so much to the NFL Draft that all the new faces pose a question for this years team. They can play but they lack experience. A&M had potential last year but never got over that hump. This year the Aggies have a solid squad and want to take that next step of being mentioned with the top teams in the conference again. Theyll have their chance with Georgia.

Pre: UGA 38 TAMU 35

U5 GAMES

⚪️ 3 LSU
⚪️ 5 MIAMI
⚪️ MSST

SETTINGS
Settings should be in all the way.. What to expect is a familiar feel close to what we had the year before last but not the bs coverage all the time and over the top blocking by the cpu. Broken tackles should pick up from last year, we didnt see as much on those settings.

4th down rule
- 4th inside the 35 is fair game (Tied or down only)

LSU is RTA. My true freshman and rs sophomore Qb's will each play a half against Vandy next week. Whoever does best will be Qb1 for the season. Davis is 3rd string and probably won't see the field, unless something goes horribly wrong for the other Qb's.

8 GEORGIA 1-0 vs 11 SOUTH CAROLINA 0-1

Only a handful of teams played last week but we got to see both of these schools in action. One thing about opening week is it tells you alot but it never tells you everything. SC got dominated up front by Alabama's oline and gave up nearly 300 yds on the ground, and the offense didnt do anything impressive. That #1 ranking didnt last long at all but they have a chance to prove that last week was just a slow start. Georgia on the other hand looked strong on the road against A&M. They said that this year was their redemption from last years SEC Championship loss and their played matched that last week. These teams met last year and SC was expected to win with Baker and that defense but Georgia won convincingly. I think Georgia owns SC right now and will handle business at home.

Pre: UGA 40 SC 31

🟢 Pre: UGA 38 TAMU 35 -> UGA 38 TAMU 28


BIG GAMES
🟢 5 TEXAS vs TEXAS A&M
- Texas is chasing OU in the B12 but they are looking to make national noise this year. An opener against an SEC rival would say alot
🟢 UCLA vs 16 STANFORD
- I really like Stanford to be in the Title hunt this year, we'll see if they prove me right against one of the top teams in the West.
🟢 4 MIAMI vs 20 USF
- Miami's QB is rated high but hasnt proved he can be the guy yet. USF on the other hand has a Heisman candidate at QB. Miami will have to earn this win.
🟢 MISSISSIPPI ST vs SO. MISS
- This game will go 4 quarters I guarantee it. Southern Miss will be viewed as an underdog because of the "SEC" but these teams are dead even.

Settings

* I'll give yal 2 restarts for this week (hopefully the last time we have to do this)

The restarts arent necessarily for if you lose, you can use them to try out players and all that too

I think the settings will actually play close to how their supposed to from what Ive seen in the JP tester OD, Play Now, and practice mode in Rivals so of you want a good feel for them you can test them there too

One thing I have noticed is that the ball placement when you lead passes has been pretty good (maybe just if you have an accurate QB idk), but it seems like more realistic throws are happening

Also noticed that you might have to scramble a little bit with these so dont over-sim yourself to an L, use your legs when you need to scramble or rollout with these


* Im not using any restarts since Ive been testing these and know exactly how they play, If I take the L I take the L.. no need to test my players either bc I know how the different typed of players play already too

My Cb's got absolutely torched by Vandy's Qb starting in the 2nd quarter and it never stopped. Who knows if its the sliders or EA. Something else I noticed is my fast players were getting caught from behind a lot.Broken tackles are back but nothing crazy, so thats good. Offense played well considering we played 2 Qb's. Even the defense played well, outside of my cb's. LSU beats Vandy, 48-38.

Nah, I can't lol. His throw power and throwing motion are too bad.
