I played my first 4 games in high school as a CB/WR. I must say it is a lot of fun playing both sides of the ball. I am playing on All-American and I am actually doing better as a CB, which is surprising.

Still a 1 star recruit though for both positions. Will update if I get any further over the weekend!

The coaching carousel is awesome. I am using it in my offline dynasty as Ohio State. I am the offensive coordinator. I just finished my first season (actually I'm on my 3rd game of season 2. My coach started out with an approval rating of 45% but after completing objectives I have already been offered an extension on my contract. What is really good is as a coordinator you only control that side of the ball so games are like 30 minutes compared to 60 minutes when you are the head coach. The only thing is after a while I'm getting bored with not playing defense. I started as on offensive coordinator because the first few play now games I played... I was pretty bad on offense. If the mods dont have any objection I will imbed some links to my games.

Unfortunately, I'm still pushing for custom quarter lengths for RTG. The playcalling is still pretty terrible. I'm only three games into my high school career though. I do gotta say, a nice touch is the defenders pointing out who they are covering while in a zone. One of my negatives is the field still looks like **** :-(

Will update this weekend on how the RTG playcalling is.

Agree...5 minute quarters is not nearly long enough to get any sort of accurate stats. I'm doing mine as a QB and I probably average around 18 passing attempts per game.

There also seem to be a few strange bugs in RTG mode. For instance, while playing in high school, although I nicknamed my school the Trojans, the game assigned a different nickname every game I played. Sometimes I was the Buffaloes, sometimes I was the Eagles. It was so random.

Noticed that as well, I typed in "Grens" and am apparently the "Buffaloes".

Also, not sure about everyone else but they updated our home stadium (You have 3 choices this year...Except you can't see them before you select them, which is unfortunate) However, they are much better than the generic stadium we have been playing in for years.

Also, I did not see the option to just play the high school playoffs? Maybe I missed it...
