I agree with Jistic. It just seems to work out better that way. Plus , something I have never read here is the "Bend - Don't Break " Defense. Everyone seems to agree that stopping the Cpu in the red zone seems easier. So I call my defense this way with some success.

PS: Jistic.... I kinda feel like you dissed me a little in a previous thread. I'll ask one more time just in case I am wrong. Who is that in your avatar?

You see that every play? I sometimes see HB's get separation, but not always. Do you not want any randomness in the game? Would you prefer that if a FS is rated better than a HB, that he will always stick right on his hip? Not ripping you, just asking what you're seeing/thinking.

What bout a patch that fixes players physiques...sliders are all backwards again and some players seem to have such tweeny arms like Chris Wells.

I agree with whomever said that the issue with zone defense should help the pass rush.

As far as the man coverage of the HB this is where I've had to alter my playing style. In every edition of NCAA I've always controlled a DT or DE. Now I ALWAYS control the LB/DB who covers the back out of the backfield. This has helped me keep the CPU QB at 55-60%. Because I've been able to take that away I'm also seeing the CPU throw more deep balls and I'm getting more sacks. Probably 3-5 a game.

Maybe give it a shot.

In dynasty i cant confirm it yet but on "play now" i used my Pitt profile @ WVA and Syracuse and both home sounds played with no prob

That happens more than half the time.

So wait, the first patch is in MS hands, but the 2nd patch hasn't been submitted. Will it be submitted in the near future as in by Monday or is there still time to make some fixes.

You are exactly right. I did an experiment with someone online testing out how many times a HB would get open coming out of the backfield in different coverages. It got so ridiculous that the guy on offense stopped changing plays and the HB was still open 8 out of 10 times! It is so bad we are thinking about banning certain plays in our OD.

I've made a custom sound for 3rd and 4th down and set it for ALL teams, and have heard it play during away games during dynasty.
