When Online Dynasties were first announced, I was incredibly excited about the possibilities, since I had a long history of great offline dynasties with my college buddies. As life goes, we all went our separate ways, [...]

Forum member lsutigerz2001 posed the question: I find myself not utilizing what may be the best player on the field on offense. My main problem is I don’t really like throwing to the outside side of the field. Do you guys have any tips on how to get your main WR more active in NCAA Football 11 when he is the most spread out WR. The most common answer given has been to utilize formation [...]
