Anyone else playing as a DC?

[thelionheart3456]

I'm playing as the DC for Arizona State and it's some of the most fun I've had the last few years playing NCCA.... I usually like to play offense but I decided to mix it up and go with D as I was captain on defense in high school and I gotta say it's awesome having to try to make a stop every possession because you don't know how your offense is going to do while before you were able to control it.

Re: Anyone else playing as a DC?

I've done a similar thing in the past when they first added super sim

I would just play defense with Miami in a 3-3-5 playbook just for fun.

To be honest, it's pretty much the same as this year's coaching change

but yeah, it was really fun, and I plan on doing it again

Re: Anyone else playing as a DC?

Im a DC with Miami, I agree it's pretty fun. Your mistakes are limited because you don't know what your offense is going to do, and threw 2 games Miami's offense have scored only 31 points total. Yeah, Ive got my work cut out for me if I want to be successful at the U, Jacory = Turrible.

I will be once I pick up the game tomorrow.
I have done dynasties in the past in NCAA '11 where I super-simmed all offensive and special teams plays, I just got defense. It is a lot of fun, and I cannot wait to jump into this mode. The fact people are saying you can recruit both sides kind of annoys me though, but I'll just recruit my side of the ball. Can't wait!

I may do this... offense is kicking my butt

How do you just recruit defense and let CPU recruit offense?

Re: Anyone else playing as a DC?

I'm doing this and enjoying it alot, but seeing a couple of problems:

1. teams that aren't No Huddle style teams are going no huddle against me all game long. Whats up with that?

2. I get 80+ defensive plays a game because my offense sucks number one (playing as ULL) and SuperSim doesn't take enough time off the clock between plays on offense. I'm only playing 6 min quarters on All-American, and through 4 games I have 3 guys with 5+ sacks and 2 guys with 4+ INTs. (I think I should be able to fix this with sliders, maybe?) While I'm one of the worst teams in the nation in yardage allowed, I have individuals leading in tackles (2 in the top 10) and 3 of the top 10 in INT and 2 of the top 5 in sacks.

I've played 3 games as FIU's DC, and let me tell you that it is the most frustrating experience I've had playing an NCAA game in a while.

It's not because of anything inherent in the mode except that it is REALLY hard to be just a DC with awful players. I get a lot of turnovers and sacks, but man is it impossible to stop teams. I gave up 37 to North Texas, 35 to Louisville and 38 to UCF.

I know you're supposed to build up your team, but I'm going to get fired before I can improve! I would recommend that if you're going to play as a bad team, play as an OC.

Re: Anyone else playing as a DC?

I finished one season as the DC for Minnesota and we went 5-7.
So far in year 2 I'm 4-0.

I'm experiencing the same thing. ULL is just awful. I give up a ton of yards but get a lot of sacks and ints. Our offense gives me NO help. The offense finally showed up last game and I couldn't stop anything on defense. I think some of it may have to do with the lack of suctioning from NCAA11. I'm basically having to learn how to tackle again haha.

Re: Anyone else playing as a DC?

IF you guys watch the offense play, does it play out better than the super sim.

Re: Anyone else playing as a DC?

Same thing here, I'm DC for Hawai'i... I have given up like 120 pts in 4 games!!! Hella of fustrating when I get back on D n have to stop their O on my 15 yrd line.... My players just plain suk! Already met five 4 goals, but the 8 wins in a season is not happening this yr!

Re: Anyone else playing as a DC?

Ya, I love playing as an DC. Currently I am the DC of the Rice Owls. So I def. got my work cut out for me since my offense can't do ****

2-5 right now. Only thing is I am getting a monstrous amount of sacks and allowing the most passing yards of all teams in the NCAA.


Def. gotta mess with sliders

I can't say for sure. I watch occasionally and it's hit or miss.

Re: Anyone else playing as a DC?

So, are all of you actually playing the games on the field on D or coaching from the sidelines, and letting the CPU run your plays? Just curious. I might wanna try DC once I get some good rosters.
