Re: The Official "I Just Played An Awesome Game" Thread

I'm in year 2 of a Michigan dynasty.

I'm playing against Ohio State to close out the season. They're #1 and I'm #2 (deja vu, anyone?). Its a close game to start, but I put up some quick scores...

Re: Has anyone ever gotten more then 10 yards on a read option?

Practicing the read-option against random plays is a HUGE help. Stick skills help for the first second or so of the play, cause the d-line does get through often, but if you're patient (as with ANY...

When your player is in the running for the Heisman...

...does anybody feel like you alter your gameplan to accommodate for it?

For example, I'm in year 2 of a Michigan dynasty and Fitzgerald Toussaint is 4th or so in the Heisman race in Week 9. I...

Re: Substitution problem - what is going on?

Look at the bright side. Your backup is Darren Evans (he should be...). Not to shabby himself.

Re: Post Your Offense

I usually go team specific for my playbook, and then adapt to that.

Currently, I'm playing with Michigan, and I use West Coast concepts to compliment their read option/spread playbook. My first 10...

Re: 120 ways to win. Whats yours?

I usually go team specific. Recently I've been playing with Michigan, trying to improve my read on the Read Option. I think I've got it down now, I'm getting pretty quick at watching that end and...

Re: Do you fill up your recruiting board?

I stick with 10-12 recruits at a time. I haven't quite grasped recruiting yet, so it's easier for me to just put 50-60 minutes into a guy every week and when he commits, replace him with someone...

Re: Still the best IMO...

Agreed. I like this more than the Madden demo by FAR. I couldn't even get through the first half of Madden. It's too slow and too boring. There's no excitement.

NCAA all the way for me, yet again....

Re: What's up with Stanford in dynasty?

In year two of one of my dynasties I had Stanford in the top 10 at one point of the year, maybe even top 5. I wasn't paying enough attention at the end of the year to see where they ended up (I won...

Re: What To Call On D and When

Above poster (goalieump) is on the money. I always pay attention the opponent's formation, of course, but I'm big on playing for my personnel. If I have a strong core of backer, I like to use as many...

Re: I know I'm glad EA missed this..

As a die-hard Michigan fan (don't be fooled by my VT avatar and quote, I go to school there, but I'm from Michigan and I've been a fan forever), I have to say, simpler is better, for almost all...

Re: NCAA11 Off-Line Dynasty Progress

I just closed out year 1 with Army so I'll give my final games recaps and an around the country update as well.


Week 11 I mentioned in my last post that I was going into a must win against Kent...

Re: Bill Abner's Review

Agreed with everything, except for his final grade. I don't know his grading scale but the strides the NCAA team has made with this franchise's gameplay warrants at least a B+, regardless of the...

Re: Need help picking a playbook

Virginia Tech's is pretty good. I've used it a ton and it has a lot of variety.

3 I-Form, a strong and a weak, and load of both Ace and Shotgun (wildcat included).

Re: NCAA11 Off-Line Dynasty Progress

In my last post I was taking Army into a Week 7 game against a 5-0 Rutgers team sitting at #22 in the polls.

The game started off as I expected. I couldn't muster a thing on offense, and Rutgers...

Re: NCAA Football 11 Patch #2 Update (EA Sports Blog)

This is definitely some awesome news. After playing the Madden demo today and being absolutely appalled (it's so slow and boring!) I knew that once again, NCAA was going to be my thing for the year....

Re: NCAA11 Off-Line Dynasty Progress

Re: Lateral Success?

You used to be able to pitch the ball whenever you pleased in previous versions. This year, the option actually has to be executed as it should. You need to read the end, and pitch with great timing....

Re: CPU No Huddle Logic

I noticed the strange personnel first day but I didn't quite connect it to the no huddle and fatigue till a few games later.

Re: Setting up your recruiting board

I have 10 to 12 guys on my board at a time. When one commits, add another. I feel need more then anything, and thats personal preference. I usually ignore what the game says I need unless its...
