Abner on his Heisman game:
Now, onto the Heisman game.
Now, this might have been a fluke, too. Just like the 6 picks I had on AA lvl in 3 quarters.
But the USC game was one of the very best NCAA experiences I have *ever* had. And I lost 27-13.
Now, the sliders I used were WAY favored toward USC (100 QB ACC...) but the flow, and the playcalling, and the feel of the game was spot on awesome. The INT I mentioned earlier was the only one for the game. Well, for USC at least. Boeckman wasn't so lucky. Was that due to Heisman or the 100 ACC? Again, I have no idea; again -- sample is too small.
But we now know one thing -- it IS possible to play a game without the CPU handing it over to the human player via turnovers. And that's important. I think Sanchez ended up like 22/30 for the game, and only one pass should have been picked but wasn't.
Now, there remain a few concerns:
--Punt and kick coverage need major help. I still have WAY too much open field on punt returns, as does the CPU. The coverage is just crap. Not sure what to do about that.
--I saw more than one weird open field AI glitch. The score in reality SHOULD have been 34-13 but the AI juked in the open field when I was running 5 yards behind the WR and it allowed me to catch him. Kinda odd.
I have never lost a game and felt so happy afterward.
Of course a lot more games need to be played, but just knowing that the AI CAN play a competent game is a big step in the right direction.
Need to take a break and put my daughter to bed, but I'll get one more game in tonight if possible.
