Re: NCAA 14 - OS Community + Playmakers Split Sliders

**new twist to gameplay... at least for me... used matt's newest set. took average slider number between user and cpu and decided to play as both teams.

**used matt's newest penalty set and have team aggression at 50-50.

**took ched's idea about changing defensive play to aggressive for stripping the ball, so as to force some fumbles.
**played coach mode for both tex a+m and missouri. set both defenses to play aggressive regarding stripping of ball. in coach mode i am on the sidelines with a tv view.

**for defense i took (without looking) middle play suggestion and then called the offensive play based on down and yardage.

**highlights i observed---
+mizzou wr's fumbled 2x on big hits.
+3 big hits resulting in pass incompletions.
+fumble on mizzou kickoff.
+fumble on mizzou run.
+saw offensive pass interference call.
+saw a pass deflection by tamu end.
+saw at least 3 great read options by manziel.
+manziel was driving the aggies to a clinching td late in the game and fumbled it back to mizzou in the red zone.

PLAYED IN AA- AA USER MODE.

Here are the real life stats for the game.

a+m 70 plays- 379/ 5.4 ave
mizz 74- 463/ 6.3

a+m 5.3 ave. running the ball
mizz 5.1

a+m 69% passing/ 5.6 ypc
mizzou 63%/ 7.9

REPLAY STATS--
A+M- 38
MIZZOU- 35

A+M 79 PLAYS- 466 YDS/ 5.9
MIZZ 73- 420/ 5.8

A+M 45 RUNS- 246 YDS/ 5.5
MIZZ 32- 133/ 4.2

A+M 22-34/ 220 YDS/ 64%/ 2 SACKS/ 4 DROPS/ 10 YPC
MIZZ 28-41/ 287/ 68%/ 5 SACKS/ 2 DROPS/ 10 YPC

A+M 38% 3RD DOWN
MIZZ 38%

A+M 2 TURNOVERS
MIZZ 3 TURNOVERS

My thoughts-- Playing this way, I felt as if the playing field was leveled. I've read where playing at AA-AA level, ratings truly matter. I was very involved in the game and it was great fun being the play caller for both offenses. Playing against the CPU, and trying to get a realistic simulation in terms of accurate stats-- especially that darn passing game has been challenging, no doubt. This game, although a small sample, was about as good a game as I've played on NCAA.
Looking at the above numbers... I'm fairly certain that the 11.01 set is quite compatible with my way of playing!
