A hot mess

[Wood Demon 80]

Hey all. I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction as far as learning how to play NCAA 12. Apparently I've reverted back to a three year old when it comes to playing football games this year. I've been playing football games yearly since 99 but this year I'm frustrated beyond belief. Playing online I can't play offense, I can't stop anyone on Defense. For all intensive purposes I'm the worst gamer ever. Looking for some sort of place to learn strategies for both offense and defense. Suggestions?

Swallow some pride and play on Varsity, if you're not already.

Otherwise, just hit up practice mode. You'd be surprised just how much better you can get running a certain play after you've drilled it 40 or 50 times against random defense.

Sorry I got a chuckle out of "intensive purposes", carry on.

Dang... I have Cobra Starship stuck in my head now.

I'd practice passes a lot. CPU Pass D was vastly improved.

Just pick easy plays like your favorite quick slants, or any simple runs, such as the power O, and run them 30 or so times on practice mode against a random 4-3 defense.

Avoid options, wildcat, or anything cute like that.

How do you do random defense? Do you just pick the two plays and then after a few reps go back to the play call screen?
