Anyone else playing as a DC?

I'm playing as the DC for Arizona State and it's some of the most fun I've had the last few years playing NCCA.... I usually like to play offense but I decided to mix it up and go with D as I was captain on defense in high school and I gotta say it's awesome having to try to make a stop every possession because you don't know how your offense is going to do while before you were able to control it.

I've done a similar thing in the past when they first added super sim

I would just play defense with Miami in a 3-3-5 playbook just for fun.

To be honest, it's pretty much the same as this year's coaching change

but yeah, it was really fun, and I plan on doing it again

Im a DC with Miami, I agree it's pretty fun. Your mistakes are limited because you don't know what your offense is going to do, and threw 2 games Miami's offense have scored only 31 points total. Yeah, Ive got my work cut out for me if I want to be successful at the U, Jacory = Turrible.

I will be once I pick up the game tomorrow.
I have done dynasties in the past in NCAA '11 where I super-simmed all offensive and special teams plays, I just got defense. It is a lot of fun, and I cannot wait to jump into this mode. The fact people are saying you can recruit both sides kind of annoys me though, but I'll just recruit my side of the ball. Can't wait!

I may do this... offense is kicking my butt

How do you just recruit defense and let CPU recruit offense?

I'm doing this and enjoying it alot, but seeing a couple of problems:

1. teams that aren't No Huddle style teams are going no huddle against me all game long. Whats up with that?

2. I get 80+ defensive plays a game because my offense sucks number one (playing as ULL) and SuperSim doesn't take enough time off the clock between plays on offense. I'm only playing 6 min quarters on All-American, and through 4 games I have 3 guys with 5+ sacks and 2 guys with 4+ INTs. (I think I should be able to fix this with sliders, maybe?) While I'm one of the worst teams in the nation in yardage allowed, I have individuals leading in tackles (2 in the top 10) and 3 of the top 10 in INT and 2 of the top 5 in sacks.

I've played 3 games as FIU's DC, and let me tell you that it is the most frustrating experience I've had playing an NCAA game in a while.

It's not because of anything inherent in the mode except that it is REALLY hard to be just a DC with awful players. I get a lot of turnovers and sacks, but man is it impossible to stop teams. I gave up 37 to North Texas, 35 to Louisville and 38 to UCF.

I know you're supposed to build up your team, but I'm going to get fired before I can improve! I would recommend that if you're going to play as a bad team, play as an OC.
