Thought this might be the case. RB (tapped) is a cover from a swat/swipe. RB (hold) is forced ball change hands (Im still not sure why this was added Ive seen nothing it adds tbh) RS up while being tackled is cover ball and tuck |

Well if you are using it to juke and avoid big hits, its just natural to push up when the tackle gets there.

My Texas State team is simply horrible. Were down 28-0 and halftime, and ended up losing 35-7. If I can't get the running game going, I am doomed. My QB is simply awful, and if I have to play catch up the game is already over.

Heart breaking loss for the Cougars....just wasnt our night as ASU looked like a Rich Rod offense...
Hurry up and read option every play. I was sending Engage 8 and hot route the CBs to blitz...but it wasnt enoguh as ASU racked up 13 broken Tackles and over 100 YARDS AFTER CONTACT...My D Linemen were bouncing off the RB, the QB...heck even the kicker plowed a few guys over for fun. They knocked my starting QB out in the first quarter and it was never a game after that....then they knocked my speed change of pace RB out and took my starting RB out...all three were lost to "mild concussions"...them ASU boys hit hard. I was sacked an incredible 8 times in this one...which is bad..but when you consider we called 19 pass plays...YIKES...hopefully the students give me time to turn it around. |

Do others think the sliders are still too easy? I think that collectively, we are winning too many games for the quality of the teams we are using. Thoughts?

The only thing I will note is that I've yet to see a PI call for either side so far.

As anyone else getting 3-4 roughing the passr calls per game extending drives?
What about false starts? The CPU false started like 4 times against my most recent game. |

I've yet to have roughing the passer called in my favor and only have it called against me maybe once every 2 games. I've also seen very, very few false starts. So...idk! |

All the roughing the passer calls I've seen have been against me playing as a DE. I don't think I've seen a single false start called against the CPU. I usually get 1-3 a game called on myself trying to mix up the snap count.

Ahh, yeah, I always control a DE b/c my stick skills aren't that great to try to play a LB or anything else. I've had to adjust how I would instinctually play slightly, I did get a few late hits where I thought I was hitting the QB as he threw but the game didn't see it that way. I do have a few user sacks anyway, and if I get close to the QB he's almost always going to make a bad throw, but I do feel like I'm holding back on occasion for fear of the penalty. |

Beat Georgia Tech 31-24, playing against the option is damn annoying but they had a hard time finishing drives. They'd get a number of first downs every single drive but would stall eventually. Led 31-10 before giving up two late TDs to make it look close.
South Alabama is a new team I assume? I think I have one of the worst rosters in the game, definitely one of the worst among our human teams, but the team records basically don't exist and I'm breaking records for 300 xp every game. I beat Duke badly last week and broke 8 team records, none of them outrageous, like 10 receptions for an individual, 155'ish yards rushing, that kind of thing. |

I just noticed that on the ODU/Memphis game the score is listed on the home page but not on the team page and it shows that I'm not ready to proceed. Does that mean there's an issue?

What a crazy game.
Snow. We won despite 5 turn overs. 2 separate times long break away runs, ran down from behind and fumbled. It was the definition of what frustrates me about NCAA. We went up 21-0 cruising. Next play Computer runs a counter into the teeth of a 7 man blitz and takes it 65 yards for a TD. Next drive is one of the aforementioned fumbles. They take over on the 17. Sack makes iit second and 20. Draw through the teeth of the D and 80 yards later its 21-14. We held on to win 35-21 but just couldn't get in a rhythm. Despite obviously being the better team. Passing was near impossible as their D lived in my back field...running was slightly better. Oh and Luke Kueckly plays for Utah State apparently. White MLB has 19 tackles. 2 for loss. 3 pass deflections. Unrelated. Is it just me or anyone else observing players seemingly playing markedly slower than normal in a given game. My RB is usually a borderline burner...a speed scat back. This game he seemed slow every play, even though he showed fresh. Thought it might have been the new settings, so I subbed his back up in who is always a touch slower, more of a bruiser...but he was full normal speed. Seems like just my TB had a bad night... |

We beat ECU pretty bad at their place, 35-16 I think was the final? We had a chance to make this a complete laugher, up 21-3 inside their 20 with 15 seconds left in the first half, throwing for a TD to make it 28-3, and we would get the ball to start the 3rd... QB got hit, fumbled, and they had a D-lineman pick it up and go 80 yards for a defensive TD to end the half. Still an easy win, but that was quite a play for them.

Heads up in the sake of transparency. I started to play my game tonight but we had company drop in unexpectedly so I cut it off in the 1st quarter.
We were trailing early. I should still get my game in later this week. |

I was thinking things were too easy with my Old Dominion team being 8-1 and then I got absolutely blown off the field last night. My QB is terrible on the road.
