If you don't like your conference and the A+ prestige that comes with it, I'm sure FMT can move ya'all over to the ACC or the Big East.

I'd vote yes for that.

More like toughen up the other conferences :D

can i not move teams around/adjust conferences? gcq said i could after season 1 :(

Yep you can move teams around, there's a section of offseason for that. I think it's after recruiting. Maybe on the last part before the start of the next season.

I'm going to finish the season with lower than 50% completions%... :(

Square peg in round hole. Wilson has drove me crazy all year with his inability to come close at times with passes. Glad to be rid of him!

Season should end the way it has gone, with him throwing a bunch of ints haha.

GG, buddy. I got really worried when you went up early and continued to carve my secondary. Thank god Wilson gave me some gifts and helped me get back in it.

Yeah, GG. NCAA Gods put a curse on my this season it seems. That 4th quarter sequence was good idea of a summation of the season. 1st and goal from the 4 get called for holding on a run to the 1, get backed up to the 13. Then I have a guy open around the two throw the ball with Wilson and the ball goes flying 5 yards right of my intended receiver and picked off. I just had to laugh after that so used to crazy things like this happen.

I can't believe he is rated 93 as a QB. But it is for his running ability and not his accuracy.
 
ok, now that the season is (basically) over, are there any requests for slider adjustments?

one i am strongly considering making is bumping up the defensive tackle slider. what do you guys think?
 

Lonestar

Well, I'd say "hey, we all suck at passing!" and "we're all too good stopping the run" and go from there.

Bumping up the Defensive Tackle to do what?
 
I'm turrible at stopping the run. don't make is easier!

I do think that all linebackers seem to have god like coverage ability though

I think Az was still below 500 giving up in Rushing Yards. No....just no.

How to fix Super LB's...also, how to fix the DB's and their behind the back interceptions (did anyone else throw a bunch of those?)

There aren't any easy fixes :/

Dont change anything. This will open up a whole shit fest. Just dont

I agree. Granted it's typical EA bullshit with teams getting divine intervention to create the ol' "college football upset" during CPU or human games, and it still has the same issues Madden does (no-look INTs), but despite that it seems to work OK. Hopefully no one gets screwed too much (we're all going to get screwed at some point let's face it).

Anyone else playing Road to Glory? First time I tried it in NCAA and I'm really enjoying it. It is a mini RPG mode where you create a player. Start him with the final year in High School and continue in College. I created a quarterback. You get recruiting points in High School that gains you more interest from bigger schools the better you do. You can play up to 11 high school games, and if your team does well enough there are playoff games too. Each game goes pretty quick as well, as you can finish them in 10 to 15 minutes. At the end of the year you get your choice of school to go too from the scholarships offered, but you can tell where you'll be in college. Depending on the school you'll be first string, second string, or third string. The higher prestige for the school, the less chance you have to start. Two to three star schools were going to make my the starter, but 5 to 6 star schools had me at backup or third string to start.

Once you get to college the rpg mode expands. I went to Florida to follow in the footsteps of my idol sexy rexy, and am installed as the second string QB. You get experience points through practice to earn your coaches trust, so you can move up from backup to starter eventually. There are other bonuses you get as well as you earn more coaches trust. I don't remember them all, but there are like 6 extra bonuses you can get after you become a starter. One of them is the ability to call hot routes at home and also on the road, as you are initially stuck with calling the play the OC calls. If you do well enough you can get as high as being a hometown hero, but I'm not really sure what it entails!

With your experience points you can also grab game perks which boost your player for one game or career perks which boost stats of your player. EA does have a sense of humor as one of the perks I bought was a career one at it was called "I'm going Deep!" The description gave you the ability to unleash the dragon with higher throwing power to impress cheerleaders. By the time my QB is a senior the perks might make him overpowered, so I'll have to wait and see on the balance on this system. Overall though it is really fun diversion from playing the dynasty mode.

Yea I've played the mode in every year of NCAA I've bought. Pretty much the same deal each time, but this time they added the ability to play both sides of the ball and get scouted for each position. Unfortunately it's based all on stats, so if you play your position and help your defense keep the opponent from scoring and thus your team to win, you'll be a 1 star recruit. But if you get 3 picks a game while your team gets blown out 52-0 and goes winless, you'll be a 6 star legend.

And yes, your player will definitely become overpowered by the end. In NCAA 10 in this game mode I won the national championship 3 out of 4 years and the Heisman back-to-back years, breaking all school and all-time NCAA records.

I played almost a season of RTG before the league started, and I must have set the difficulty to overtly easy. Cause I ended up, once I added the permanent bonuses, my QB was rated 99 OVR well before the end of the 1st season.

I'll go back later and readjust that, because that happened too fast.

Looking at the user Dline stats, it looks like they are either:
A) overpowered
B) being exploited

Couple that with the piss poor CPU rushing and it seems like O-lines could get buffed some?
That could also break everything though, and some folks had a hard enough time with the CPU this year

At least for me all of my D-Line stats were by the cpu since I usually was controlling a LB.

Yeah, I felt like playing DLine against the CPU was pretty easy, it was more "realistic" in my human games, I don't think I had a single multi-sack game against humans (other than the first game Lonestar and I played where I sacked him 8 times in the first half before The UI Crash of 2011)

You lost 7-0 to the CPU, it's a miracle that FMT didn't have McNeily suit up after that

I simmed chunks of the CPU games. Usually giving up yards and points.

I did sack AZ 8 times.

Hoping to move to the 4-3, because I had problems stopping the run in the 3-4.

I didn't have problems, but I want to switch to 4-3.. the problem is that I couldn't recruit any DL and I have too many good LBs. :(
 
Yeah I give up too many sacks. My slow ass receivers take all year to get open. :(

My defense is awesome, though. Look at all my backers and DBs making the list!
