And this is why I love this game (and yes, I just recently bought it so it's still fresh to me). Coming off a 48-14 beat down of Houston at home to improve to 4-1, I go to Louisiana-Monroe and lose a 31-29 heartbreaker. Thought I was going to roll this season to an 11-1 or 10-2 record (only real toss-up game in Sun Belt would be Louisiana-Lafayette) but I got caught napping and lost to someone I didn't expect.

Granted it's a coaching dynasty so I can't play defense, but my offense wasn't as good as they normally are. I scored 7 points off a pun-return for a TD and got another easy 7 after my defense picked off a pass and I started a drive on ULM's 12 yard line.

It was a great game, too. And remember, anything defense or special teams related is simmed.

I had just kicked a FG to go up 16-10 with about 4:00 to go in the 3rd quarter and on the next series my defense forced a 3 and out, and my special teams returned a punt to make it 23-10 with about 3:00 to go in the third quarter. Neither team did anything the rest of the quarter, but my defense got the interception return to the ULM 12 yard line early in the 4th...about 7:00 to go (I play 9 minute quarters). I scored in two plays later and had a 29-10 (kicker missed the XP) lead with 6:30 to go.

Then the wheels fell off. ULM quickly retaliated with a TD drive to make it 30-17 and got a pick-six to make it 29-24 with 2:35 to go. I tried to run out the clock and make ULM use all their timeouts but all three of my runs went for no gain or just one or two yards, and ULM go the ball back with more than 2:00 remaining. They put together a clock-eating drive and scored the go ahead TD with 0:05 left, and ultimately won 31-29.

Coming off a 70% completion, 450 yard, 4 TD game against Houston my QB was awful. Completing just 12 of 29 passes for 148 yards, 0 TD, and 2 INT. My line did a terrible job blocking, too, as my QB was sacked 7 times.

My only gripe with the super-simming aspect of coaching dynasty (where you're the OC) is not being able to kick extra points. I've got a sophomore kicker who's a 78 OVR. His kick power is only a 71 but his accuracy is 86, but he's already missed 3 extra points 6 games into the season.
