I don't know what it is, but I am having pretty good success on the DL. The key is to get to the QB early. I play as the DEs on defense. If you can send in a blitz to get the QB in the start, you can try to throw off the OTs and get them to where they are "cold". I had a game where I personally got to the QB twice, my defense managed 2 more sacks. Only two of those were blitzes, and by blitzes I mean one LB. The DE play seems much improved, but this is varsity, and I rarely play on varsity so I cannot completely compare. However, I have ALMOST gotten to the QB several times, and it wasn't because the cpu guy held the ball too long or started to scramble. Lawrence Wilson (DE #87 OSU) is a beast of a pass rusher if you use him right. The last 3 games I have gotten significant pressure on the cpu and myself have been sacked a couple times (mostly my fault for not finding the open man in time).

The OSU playbook is MUCH improved over last year. However I have began to figure out some "money" plays (however the reason is most likely due to varsity speed bursts). Such as you just do the shallow crossing routes and get it so that Ray Small (WR #4 OSU) is in one of the slot positions and he will get open for at least an 8 yard gain. The simple out plays are also netting me a LOT of yards.The cpu cannot defend it to save their lives.

Can you change the controller set up for the demo?

I know for most sports game demos, you can change those types of things.

Yeah, it took some time. I actually liked when Small wore the 82 for the spring game (even though that was a demotion).

did it look like this?




it happened in '08 too, not often though.

Has anyone tried the old run back 30 yards and throw a 60 yard bomb trick yet? That's probably the thing I've hated the most about the past few games. I know it's a demo, and that trick kind of hard to stop programming wise, but I just wanted to see if anyone had tried that yet.
