I dig varsity as well. I'm getting a good foul balance. Turning the in air back to default was huge.

Bro...I am with you about Varsity and your theory behind it.....but I just find myself blowing teams out by 20 to 30, if not more, every time. What are you doing to keep the games competitive??

I know this isn't your 1st go around with this game......please tell me your secret, because I am there with you, but I need the games to be at least a little competitive.

I don't know, maybe I suck because I'm just playing my usual game on default and having close games when I should. I want to make the CPU's offense a little more potent but that's all I really have in mind. I might make the CPU's post defense a little more stiff as well.

What are you finding that's too easy? Too many made jumpers? Too easy to get past your defender with the dribble? CPU's offense not good enough? CPU's offense miss too many shots? What is your general style of play?

Honestly on default Varsity the cpu's D and my O is perfect for how I play, I run a lot of plays and don't iso or just randomly try to drive by guys. Maybe if I try that varsity will be too easy. I'm also rolling with UConn so I rarely make a friggin three.

What's your FG% as a team when you play on varsity? When I played Georgetown my FG% was under 40.

I try to play very close to what The Irish do In real life. A lot of drive and kick outs, some pick and roll to Luke...motion offense and use Jackson and Hansbrough outside the perimeter.

I suck at iso...so no not really anything that different than what happens in a real game for the Irish. My shooting % last night as I played The Hawkeyes in Iowa....

Irish 47%
Hawkeyes 42%

In regards to my talent for the game...If there was a level between AC and AA...that would be my level. I have not lost on AC to anyone, and I struggle to stay in the game on AA.

Read ehh's blog on the game. Very accurate. The game really keeps you going with presentation and gameplay. For me, it is the best of 09 in terms of fun factor. I know many will vote the show as best, and rightfully so, but I played baseball in college and it did nothing for me. Hopefully you wont feel the same with hoops

Have you adjusted any Sliders on varsity? I find that its too easy toget open shots but AC is too hard and feels too restricted in terms of spacing.
