I agree with you here. When I'm on defense it's either a 3 and out, pick, or missed tackle by a safety and GOODBYE

We need both though. Many times, TDs don't just come off of long 10-15 play, 80 yard drives. That's why teams are trying to find that explosive guy that can score on one play. College games usually have more big plays than the NFL as well. There has to be a healthy mix of long scoring drives vs. big plays.

If you look at this USC scoring analysis, from 2002 to 2007, over half of the team's points were scored by the defense or on a short field (drives starting on your opponent's half). Less than half the points came from drives that started on their own side of the field. Furthermore, if the ball started on their own 20 (or inside it), only 23.5% of their points came from a really long drive.

Just looking at a guy like Mario Manningham, the guy caught 72 balls last year at 16.3 a catch in 12 games. In his 12 games, he had a least one 30+ yard catch in 7 games. I want the cpu to have a great college player make big plays against me and not just move the chains. I want the same for me as well.

We also need more three and outs where teams punt more. Last year's game didn't have enough big plays or punts. Hopefully the balance will be good in '09 and I'm optimistic.

The cpu did throw kind deep in one of the videos trying to go over top of the corner.

Moving to help double team, or pick up blocks off of a fellow OLINE who is falling. In the last picture there the one onlinemen has thrown a dline to the left. 70 should be moving to pick him up

Na, like I said it is far from perfect or even correct, but those pictures just didn't add up to me.

Everyone's got an opinion though. Won't argue at all.

If its zone blocking then I dont see the big issue except with 70 not turned in the direction of the DT that has broken loose from his blocker

But another thing that is an issue if the DT is giving that blocker problems he should be getting Double teamed if its a 4 man rush. #71 could also be helping out against that DE as well especailly since its a 4 man rush

Right? I'm starting to think atmosphere will be up to us with the custom misuc feature...I'm ok with that if the crowd noise is good
