As I said, the best measure of cheese, the one that is the golden standard to abide by is whether or not you would ever see a real coach do in a game what the player is doing in the video game.

And by that standard, going for it on 4th repeatedly is cheese. Never in the history of college football, that I'm aware of anyways, has a coach went for it on 4th down every time. Sorry, that's not realistic and is therefor.....

While I see your point, it's within the laws of the game. So if he wants to be stupid and go for it every time on fourth down, just stop him.

If the guy goes for it continuously on 4th down and you stop him, then you won't be complaining, because you'd be winning. People just get annoyed when they can't stop it.

Somebody earlier gave the Mike Leach example. Running the same play over and over and over again. Is it bacon-ing (hate the term cheesing so I chose a different food to call it)? No, you just can't stop it, so it's annoying...

P.S. Whether or not the fact that you are not able to stop it is due to a glitch in the game is a separate conversation.

P.P.S. Don't say you would still be annoyed if he went for it every time on fourth down and you stopped him every time, because you want a "real NCAA football experience". Because if that's the case online play against random people is not for you
