it took me 4 times to beat michigan, I must not be very good

 

[KAPLAN]

I beat Georgia game 1 last night by 6. Nice start to my first season.

 

[Steve]

yeah....

i just lost to pitt 38-35. i could NOT stop their offense at all. stopped them once all game i think. so now i'm 14th in the national rankings and 13th in the BCS. wow.


another thing. i might've found another glitch. pitt's kicker doinked one off of the goal post on an extra point. one of my players caught it off of the goal post but the play was dead. so yeah that's cool, they were only up by 3. well next thing i know, i'm kicking the ball off back to pitt lol. what the hell. luckily, i picked it off and took it to the house, but my offense didn't see the field for a longgg time.

 

[Irish Legend]

Why is my pass defense so bad and the CPU's pass defense so good?

 

[Steve]

i just got done losing to USC in the last game of the regular season. lost 27-17. i got a bid into the brut sun bowl against oregon. if i would've beat USC, i most likely would've gotten a BCS bowl bid.

 

[fitz_bu47]

Try running a lot of crossing patterns against the computer on offense, and I have started having some success with the Cover 2 on defense, out of any front.

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

Is it just me or is it incredibly sick how if you are undefeated after 6 games your recruiting class looks, I have 9 5 star recruits and I am only in week 7

 

[fitz_bu47]

Ya I am not having any trouble gettin 5 stars at ND. Now KU that's another story.

 

[ACamp1900]

Why is my pass defense so bad and the CPU's pass defense so good?

tyr quick slants and read the D BEFORE the snap... it really helps... if you can tell they are in a zone before you snap it do not throw the ball... especially if you play on heisman... just audible to a run... any route that goes over the middle is usually gold

Pass D is harder this year than ever, you must get pressure and learn how to control the DB's effectively... I take a DE to start DO NOT jump the snap it just kills the play but try to dart past the O Line... if they stop you switch to the nearest DB as soon as the QB throws the ball and push the catch or swap button at the right time... if you never do it it's hard as hell to time at first but you'll get used to it and you'll get a ton of three and outs and picks

Is it just me or is it incredibly sick how if you are undefeated after 6 games your recruiting class looks, I have 9 5 star recruits and I am only in week 7

I have found it much harder to do that this year... but in years past I DOMINATE recruiting so bad that by year four or five I'm the only team that gets any five stars...

This yeas is much harder I thought but maybe it's just me

 

[IrishRamMan10]

i got my game down now im stoked. I didnt know they do the mid air high five for the TD celebration i did it today and was fuckin PUMPED!

 

[ACamp1900]

Not sure if anyone has gotten to Jimmy and Allens senior year yet but the game DEFINATELY recgonizes the talent on this team... the tema is 99 across the board and nearly unbeatable... lets hope EA knows what they are talking about

 

[Steve]

i just started my 2nd season. michigan still sucks lol. one of my freshmen is a HB with 96 speed. i've got him returning kicks. first return of the new season, he took it to the house. pretty sweet.

 

[IrishRamMan10]

anyone else think retruns are way too easy even on heisman i took 4 punts to the house with AA in 1 game.

 

[ACamp1900]

Yes I won returner of the year all three years with Allen and he won the Heisman his Senior year due in large part to his returns one 104 Kickoff and six TDs on punts...

play with ND on Heisman against one of the D 2 teams and watch what happens on returns...lol I couldn't believe it was on Heisman... dude had like 500 plus punt return yards... that one game basically won Allen the Heisman over Jimmy, he took three to the house and stopped inside the ten

 

[ACamp1900]

pretty funny mess here Elisha Lopez from Tiburon HS, first Women HB in CFB history

the third page is comedy...

Well as you can plainly see the hat I’m wearing on the top of my head indicates I’m going away to University of South California. They have selected me as a 5th string half back in their organization. I guess they were impressed with my performance in the Orange Dome. This is the happiest day of my life, I never thought this was happen.

[Steve]

i read that they were gonna fix the return issues with their 2nd patch in late august

 

[Shamrock44]

I took the advice of fitz bu47 and ACAMP and threw over the middle a lot last night and threw really well! Thanks guys. I'm assuming your using ND's playbook? I have been getting mostly A's on every category except passing; If anybody has any good tips on specific routes, I would be obliged.

 

[wpeifer]

If you can get man coverage and a fast receiver then the out route works really well: you only have to beat the corner for the score. Duval Kamara is almost a lock one on one with the jump ball on the fly pattern. And it's not very flashy but the curls pattern in the Ace Slot formation is at least a solid 8 yard completion everytime. Movin' the chains.

 

[Steve]

i played an exhibition game with arizona state the other day and i LOVED their playbook. i only played like a half, but from what i saw, there are a ton of good passing plays. i'm gonna use it for one game in my dynasty to see what happens.

 

[ChubbyCubbie]

Is anyone else getting a glut of personal foul face mask penalties when you try to strip the ball? On one drive alone I got 4 15 yard penalties. I don't mind if happens every so often, but 4 times??? It cost me a game vs. U$C

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

I try to stript he ball every play and have only seen one flag for facemask, not sure if you are just playing with a dirty team of all thugs or what.

 

[Irish Legend]

I have not stripped the ball lose once! I have only seen 2 fumbles total!

 

[Irish93]

I think that trying to strip the ball is a waste of effort. It is rarely effective, and makes it more likely that the back will break the tackle.

I have only seen a couple of fumbles, and they typically are caused by big hits, not strips.

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

I agree, i try to strip EVERY time and never see a fumble

I never try to strip it honestly NAD I have NEVER gotten flaged with a face mask so I would buy a correlation bewteen the two

I hope not, I am playing as the Irish!

 

[WeisWeisBaby]

Can anyone send me a print out of the numbers and players names? I do not have Xbox live but would LOVE to have the Irish names, so I guess I'll have to do it manually

you can buy an x change kit from best buy for like ten bucks and use that every year... easy to use and you can download the rosters off the internet....

OR you can use this for NDs rosters...
