My thoughts on the above and the game as a whole so far

-Michigan is 1-6 in my Dynasty... every week I'm like they HAVE to win today... nope
running the spread with those QBs will do that though

-My highlights are sick too, but Im not getting live any time soon

-Robert Hughes is GARBAGE in this game, no knock on the real thing, but in this game, he is as useful to my offense as the goalpost

-The pass coverage AI was dumbed down WAY too far this year... they go from superhuman AI to never cover a thing AI in one year... I have played all games of ND schedule up to UNC on Heisman with very little AI adjustments and have found running is VERY hard and passing is a cake walk every game... slants are unstoppable even for CPU...

-conversly they also dumbed down the AI on the user side and the cpu can light it up through the air with ease too... 3rd and longs are laughable this year... I can't stop them...
Standfor put up 400 yards passing in an 8 minute game on Heisman... ouch

-Picks are way too easy though, I know that sounds weird after the above rant but the only way I stop the passing game is through picks and I take a pick six every game, it's getting ridiculous.

-Is anyone else having fumble issues with J.A.???

-*** Question for Ramma or other noted NCAA experts on here*** I'm having a ton of trouble pass rushing... I can't break a block this year to save my life... 5 games in and only ONE sack. Are you gusy having the same troubles?? I don't want to play on All American b/c everything else plays fairly realistic on Heisman... I know Ramma typically takes someone off the D Line but I mix between that and a Line Backer, rarely ever using a DB until the ball is thrown... so, anyone got some tips?

-Recruiting mode "Quick Calls" is a great and highly needed feature... last year recruiting was SICK but it took too damn long... now you can speed it up when you need too.

-The game is still inferior to Madden gameplay wise but it made some leaps this year... I will say this is still the better game IMO due to the college feel, teams, recruiting and such but Madden plays more realistic game engine wise which is more a compliment to Madden than a knock on this game

-Allen is the truth.

Yes.

and

Yes.

i'm not having a fumble issue. in my two games, he hasn;t fumbled once. and my first game, he had 144 yards and 3 TD's. 70 yards and 3 TD's in the 2nd game.

[Greg]

I use Armando Allen because he was fumbling too much and Allen gets around the corner really fast.

What running plays are you running? A sometimes get a couple good holes on power sweeps, but outside of that it is 2-3 yards at a time on the ground.

i've just been running up the middle and stuff. i use the highlight stick and pretty much break the first tackle every time so that let's me get about 5 yards per carry.
