Baylor - Stanford

5 Overtimes

OMG........All I can say is wow. It just wasn't their passing got better, but the AI all across the board got better for BOTH sides. It was like I was playing a totally different game.

1st off

The cpu running backs were using all of their special moves on very consistent basis. They stiff arming, juking, spinning. Not only that but they had a balanced running attack of 2 different running backs splitting the carries. I was shocked. Heck I even had 3 running backs split carries. It was like it was way more fatigue in the game.

Secondly

Andrew Luck distributed the passes evenly. EVery WR, TE, RB, FB had 3 catches, with one of the TEs having 6 catches. This was unbelievable how he evenly distributed the passes.

More

Over all the offensive play calling was much more varied. I don't think they ran the same play more then twice in the 1st half. They used their entire playbook it seemed.

I played against Stanford a lot and I never seen them run so many different types of screens against me. Even more amazing was all of them worked.

Even more

Running out of the shotgun worked 90% of the time for both the CPU and me, without the usual defenders blowing up the play in the backfield. Option runs for Baylor worked for positive yards 95% of the time. This greatly impressed me.

It was as though everybody played to their RATINGS for once. Defenders didn't instantly warp into the backfield on running plays. Playmakers on defense and offense made plays, were as average joes played AVERAGE.

Andrew Luck danced around the pocket. Not that he scrambled or anything because he didn't, but he didn't just stand there in one spot inside the pocket either. He was moving side to side, it reminded me of the CPU QB use to play on the demo.

And since I was playing coach mode, my own QB scrambled a lot, like he suppose to have given the chance. Not only did he scramble, but he scrambled outside of the tackle box as well and not just up the middle.

Truly everybody on both sides of the ball played to their ratings.

Griffin was 15-30 for 167 yards 3 TDs 3 INTS
Luck was 22-34 for 237 yards 6 TDs 2 INTS

It was a surreal feeling. CPU stuck with what was working for them. In the beginning passing wasn't working for Stanford so they pounded the rock a lot more.

Second half passing was clicking for them and they stuck with that more. Defensely they varied their play calling too. They blitz some, they played zone some. But they never did an all out blitz though, which was surprising.

Tackling was better too. It was more wrap tackles then power hits. Momentum seemed to be more of a factor. It wasn't the standard you get hit you instantly drop to the ground.

Another thing I noticed was the amount of YAC yards it was. Stanford was killing with the YAC. Only seen 1 tip pass by a DT. Over all the cpu was working the entire field when they passed. They went deep, middle, short, sideline, middle.

Very good game this was. Normally I would blow out Stanford with Baylor, but this time, the CPU put up one hell of a fight.
