I know I'm in the middle of some serious hard core gamers out here. I play 2 or 3 games a week, sometimes less and I'd do it more if I had the chance to. I'm an ok player, not great or anything but reading through some of these threads made me happy with where I'm at.

I think it's funny how some resort to using only "Corso pick" plays or adjusting sliders on heisman level to make it even more difficult. But here it is February and when I fire it up on varsity for 5 minute quarters, I usually win about 70% of the time and if I lose its usually by a close margin. (Like last night for instance, I was Texas Tech and I lost to Michigan 26-25 and I threw 5 interceptions to their 1, a flaw that has been discussed ad nauseum, as it should) I guess what I'm saying is that I'm glad I'm at this point in the year where if I get better I can always move up to All-American or to Heisman, rather than being a hard core gamer and play on Heisman within the first few weeks of the games release and then spend the rest of the time complaining what flaws are in the game and what needs to be fixed for the next iteration or finding ridiculous ways to make the game more difficult.

I love college football more than anything else...the spirit, the atmosphere, the players, the traditions...I also love the fact that I can fire up my 360 every time and not be 100% or even 90% sure that I will win the game I'm about to play.

Anyone else wish you could be like this?
