42-0 at the half in Pasadena... I am AMAZING!!! Three user picks... Jimmy is off the hook in this game, 18-18 188 yards and four TD's in the first half...

I thought this would be my hardest game yet, UCLA is putting up zero fight...

 

[ACamp1900]

JC's final stats 24-24 for 228 4 TD's 0 INT's



45-14 Irish

 

[IHateMarkMay]

What'd you do in the second half? you scored 3 points to UCLAs 14... did you play your second string the whole half or what?

 

[IrishRamMan10]

18-18 playin on rookie? lol or doing 5 yard routes?

yeah mostly underneath zone and hook routes, but like I told you, I play very realistic numbers wise... and no it was on Heisman

Yeah, I do the same, I don't like putting up ungodly numbers on teams it gets kind of boring if you ask me. But three picks is nothing, I had five with Zibby/Bruton.

 

[IHateMarkMay]

How good is UCLA in the game, not how good they were against you when you played them, but how EA sports sees them. I know they have 20 returning starters (10 each side) and a new coaching system.

 

[ACamp1900]

Just turned it off but they are pretty good

 

[IrishRamMan10]

i just got the transfer kit... how do i do it?

 

[stonebreakerwasgod]

Don't do it, it's not worth it! Oh, you're talking about the game.

 

[ACamp1900]

i just got the transfer kit... how do i do it?

first follow the insructions in the kit man. you can't do anything until you do that, then go here... and Down load the rosters... I actually used someone elses that were better but can't fine where I got them... if you want those let me know I think I can email you...

i did it last night i used PSX rosters... only mess up was that they put geoff prince not price but i changed that.

 

[Shark Attack]

First season - won the NT with Clausen at the helm and Aldridge running.

John Sullivan won both the Rimington and the OL of the year, Zibby won returner of the year, and Clausen narrowly got edged out of the heisman.

 

[IHateMarkMay]

who edged him out? by NT you mean national championship right?

 

[Irishknight1023]

You guys make the game too damn easy. What fun is it to win every game in a blowout and win the NC in the first year? When you know that should be a year you struggle. I've got the difficulty ungodly against me and struggle like hell. I use Clausen and can never audible in barely loud places let alone PSU and UM to start the seaosn off. I've thrown more INT's than TD's so far. I bought the game the first day it came out and still not done with my first season. I guess I'm not a gamer like everyone else.

 

[NDFan78]

I'm with you Irishknight1023. I haven't been as successful as the others, then again I'm still trying to get good at the game.

 

[Irish Legend]

yeah mostly underneath zone and hook routes, but like I told you, I play very realistic numbers wise... and no it was on Heisman

Yeah, O.K.

Quit moving the A.I. sliders!

Here's my first season recap:

I lost to Michigan (Chad Henne killed me), but avenged the loss by absolutely destroying USC in a game in which I forced 6 turnovers (I don't think I had more than 2 or 3 any other game). I picked off Booty 4 times (3 with Zibby) before they changed and put in Sanchez. I ended up facing SC again in the Rose Bowl and beat them again, although this one was much closer. I won the game with two long runs by Aldridge (more on him later in the post) and a kickoff return for a TD by Prince.

Clausen is pretty good and his accuracy was much better than DD (whom I was forced to use late in the season when Clausen missed 2 games due to injury). I had far more success using Aldridge over Prince, although Prince is great in the return game.

Surprises:
1) Kallen Wade - Starting DE had 13 sacks and a couple of forced fumbles
2) Raeshon McNeil - Nickel corner had 3 sacks and 3 interceptions
3) Paul Duncan - I had a lot more success running of the right side than I did off the left side (Sam Young's side).
4) Richard Jackson - #3 WR made a lot of nice catches on post and corner patterns
5) Jimmy Clausen - QB rating of 153 with 2726 yards, 26 TD's and 12 interceptions speaks for itself.

Dissapointments:
1) John Carlson - Seemed to drop the ball every time I threw it to him in a big situation.
2) Demetrius Jones - Great speed with the option, but I found him very difficult to throw with. He had 373 yards with 5 TD's and 7 interceptions.
3) Offensive Line in pass protection - I hope they protect the QB better in real life than they did for Clausen in the game because he was sacked 41 times.

I was upset to learn that, after the season, Prince transferred to Purdue due to lack of playing time. It's cool because you can try and talk him into staying, which didn't work for me.

The in-season recruiting was great and I had 5 commitments before the end of the season and then went on to pull in the #7 class, highlighted by a pair of 5 star Defensive Ends and 5 cornerbacks (I think I got every cornerback I recruited).

I loved it and now I think I will try it on a more difficult level next season.

 

[Irishknight1023]

I used TT in the beginning of the season, but he wasn't a gamebreaker and my offensive line decides to hold every time I throw a big time pass for 50 yards and not block and have me under pressure every play. I'm using Clausen, but I have to run for my life every play so I have more INT's than TD's but still am 8-4 and going to the Sun bowl against Cal. I find it more fun to make the game like real life and real hard instead of winning every game so easily. I use Prince as my main RB now and he averages about 160 yards a game and that's without using him at all the first 5 games.

 

[IrishRamMan10]

Im 3-0 in my dynasty... I won both games by 7 or less points... Heisman is a lot tougher this year, was lucky to be michigan with FG as time expired. A lot more realistic overall this year. i cant blow out the computer yet

heisman is tough, but ive owned every game except for usc and psu(11-0, 2 minute quarters). Beat USC 34-31 on the last play doing an audible with LAMBERT catching the TD pass because i clicked on punt instead of field goal by accident. I beat psu 49-42. I dominated UM 35-3. Travis Thomas is in 3rd right now for Heisman behind colt brennan and some RB from osu(wells i think). Last game against florida, thats the only game i changed.

 

[Irishknight1023]

I must throw an INT once every 5 or 6 passes, I'm running for my life. It's real hard this year.

whos your qb? DD sucks at passing(2 ints a game) but i run the option to perfection so i use him

 

[GoshenGipper]

ND's pass protection does suck quite a bit, and I've also found that there are quite a few interceptions for both sides in this years game.

 

[Irishknight1023]

-----Clausen, but I would bring Dj in a few times to clean Jimmy's mess up (Plus he was losing attribute points for sucking so much.) But now Dj AND Sharpley both transferred leaving me with only Frazer (Didn't get ONE snap the whole year and he's the one that stays?) and Jimmy and couldn't recruit a QB in the off season because NOT ONE QB had interest because my QB sucked all year.

 

[Irishknight1023]

OH and I HATE PS2 for not letting me know they were only going to put the F'N new recruiting and deeper dynasty mode on PS3 and other gay shit. I'm so pissed off.
