Re: Your most stupid user error

had one a couple years ago. I was dropping back to throw a pass. had a wr wide open. my eyes told me to hit square my brain told me to hit square but my fingers hit r1 and threw it to the flat where the corner was waiting for a pick six. dont remember the outcome of the game but still remember that play.

That's my usual "stupid error," hitting the wrong receiver button.

I can't think of the "stupidest" one if you will, but I'm sure it has to do with either this or running an option where I pitch the ball right to a defender.

Re: Your most stupid user error

Both are my biggest things to and I drive myself crazy because every pass play I have a 1wr and a 2wr. I know one will be open regardless after playing for so long... and pre snap I think over and over what to press.. and boom I see it but press something wrong. The option one idk why but having my finger on the button is dangerous.... Idk what I do I understand the play and how to read it..and 90 percent I do it right. Then you get one of the most obvious reads where the safety foes straight for the running back doesn't even bother the QB.. and yet I pitch. I think I see the safety going after the RB and I think RB so my instinct is to press the button for the RB.

1. I, too, have done the "chew clock for game-winning field goal leads to accidental overtime" bit.

2. One time, when I was a kid, I spent the second half of the 4th quarter thinking I was up by 2, when in reality I was down by 2. Only when the clock struck 0:00, after three consecutive kneel downs from yours truly, did I realize what the score actually was. Awesome.

3. Last edition I ever owned on PS2, can't remember now what year it was. In a "QB Mode" dynasty (always loved doing those) with North Carolina. Hosting ECU, Pirates have a 3 point lead with six seconds to go (want to say it was 27-24), our ball on the ECU 15, no timeouts. Always been an "Ask Coach" guy. Coach calls a play that I love and know that I can run in 6 seconds, either scoring the game winner or throwing it away to setup the tying field goal. Ball is snapped, I drop back, and the play isn't there. I go to throw it away, and I don't think I'll ever understand what I was thinking or why I did what I did, but instead of firing it out of bounds, saving that second or two on the clock, I floated the most delicately thrown ball there has ever been, out of bounds, so slowly that time expired just before it hit the ground. Game over. I mean, this was the type of ball you would throw to your 3 year old niece when she's first learning to catch. I'll never let myself live that one down.

Imagine the announcers in that game!

I've done the exact same errors. I've now moved to a philosophy of only turning chew clock on if the other team is out of time outs and I have the lead because I do it all too often.

As far as throwing goes, I drop back, make the perfect read, see the defender and know he's covered and hit the right button and throw it anyway. I know it before I even hit the button, so why the hit the button....I don't have an answer... nd then just put my palms up in the air and say, "what the hell are you doing? Why would I do that? I saw the guy there!!!"

Re: Your most stupid user error

I've accidentally audibled a LB to man cover someone on the opposite side instead of QB spy several times. Of course they were in hurry up every time

Re: Your most stupid user error

Burned all my three timeouts when I was trying to win a game at the last minute. I did score a touhdown to win the game with no time left, only to find out that was the 3rd quarter.

I did win the game after all, but I was a bit surprised when there was 4th quarter after the final whistle.

Re: Your most stupid user error

Had one my last game, put tech right back in it. I was up 21-6.

Driving, I see the DB all over my WR. I watch as he breaks on the route to undercut my WR. I throw it anyway...pick six. I felt so freakin dumb lol. I literally read it and knew what would happen but threw it anyway.

I won by two scores in all, but had to get one late to seal it

Re: Your most stupid user error

Glad to see I'm not the only one with the pushing of the receiver button randomly when your telling yourself not to haha.

Chew clock is huge for me I play 10 min quarters and I huddle every play, and I hate all the extra play clock time or just sitting there watching time go down slowly even though I have my play picked. Wish it would take it down to 15 or 18 seconds not the 12.

But I did have a dumb dumb play this past season I played. It was late in the 4th I was pitching a shut out. The opponent was going into score... I picked the ball off at the 1 yard line them going in... I was so excited to get the pick thinking okay the guy going to get tackeld... no I hit the L1 button and there must been another player back in the end zone because the dumb dumb lateralyed the ball almost as soon as he caught the INT and the ball dropped into the end zone and the other team picked it up. I had no idea what happend till I saw the replay and Cleary saw the lateral motion from my corner after he caught the ball. I won't the game but didn't get the goose egg.

Re: Your most stupid user error

Using Matt's Sliders, fatigue off, basing out of a 4-3 Under Cover 3, had Alabama to the wire using Tulane. Using a modified Duke offense (take out those damn HB Draws), I floated a pick down to the last second right into Alabama's hands in the red zone.

Re: Your most stupid user error

Calling a punt return when they go for it on 4th down, then not calling a timeout after they get a first down, hurry up, and being stuck with special teams players on defense lol

Re: Your most stupid user error

Mine was of course on defense...

I decided to "USER" the FS in man coverage vs 4 WR.. needless to say it was four verts, I ran UP to swat the ball, missed and allowed a long , uncontested TD.. The receiver didn't make a sharp cut, just ran in a straight line and I still blew it.. LOL
