I finally completed a whole season of recruiting and I did end up with the #1 class. Not quite as dominant as past years, but still a really good class. Once you figure out when recruits normally commit it, ability to change their mind on soft commits, etc. it gets easier.

Has anyone seen a glitch where a WR gets put in the place of a tackle? It's never happened to me, but I've seen it happen to the computer quite a few times. I don't know if it's a glitch or a depth chart error. It might not be a WR (I never checked) but it has always been a player with a number under 10.

I've also have had my d-ine get shuffled when the pc goes into no huddle (seems like all the time). I'll be looking for my DE's to play with and they will be stuck in the DT's spot.

At least once a game pass defenders will run away from the receiver while the ball is in the air. Pretty frustrating when the receiver is covered and the defender simply runs away. I have only seen it when a receiver sits down in a route and waits for a pass. Zone defense i pretty frustrating if you have the gameplan set to allow QB scramble with aggressive zone pass defense. Was in a cover 2 and the QB ran past my CB as he stood still and just pivoted as he ran 2 yards past him.

I've had it happen in both of my user games in my other league, both times on 3rd down with my defender basically grinding on the back of the WR, so a breakup or INT was a very likely outcome. One time the cover guy came to a complete stop (like someone yelled freeze)

i've stopped playing zone. It has zero success for me. Now i just run straight up man to man with a lot of blitzes. i get burned a couple times per game, but i'm playing on AA with Michigan and am 7-1 right now and worked my way up to #23. Just had back to back wins over Iowa and PSU while holding both of them to under 10 points. My one loss was to Cincinnati. I replaced UMASS on the schedule with Cincy to try and beef up my schedule.

Still haven't settled on a playbook. My RB are all quick, but I can't find a good passing offense that has a lot of single back sets and shotguns. any suggestions?

I struggle to use zone against the computer, but zone blitzes can be effective against humans when you spring them on your opponent unexpectedly.

Ohio State has a good chunk of ace & shotgun playcalling. I wish the pony set was more diverse in its passing plays.

ECU had a pretty nice playbook last year, I haven't tried it yet this season. Colorado, Tennessee, USC, Wisconsin are your pro-set types of playbooks, but I'm guessing you'll want option looks (the thing that kept me from using MSU last year).

I'm not a huge fan of the option, but I like the spread sets. I like a lot of intermediate pass plays with good runs mixed in to keep the defense off balance. I've had good success with "Air Raid," so i'll probably switch back to that. But I might look at osu's playbook as well.

Wow, just got done with the biggest crock of shit ever.

I drove down the field with 1:15 left in the 4th to score and convert the two point conversion to tie it at 15. Around 15 seconds left and I'm running a cover 4 with my safeties way back and Terrelle Pryor evades two sacks and runs 77 yards for the touchdown.

Yes, I'm a Buckeye fan, but that is Grade A bullshit.

got the game right around the time it came out and I'm sure this has been said plenty... here goes anyways

I'm sick and tired of getting balls batted down/INT'd by people in the front 7. My offensive Line no matter who I play with is like a sieve while I cannot get any pressure from my own defensive line. I find it tough to pass and fairly easy to run but I've always been an excellent runner with limited skills passing wise. Recruiting is TOUGH and I suppose it's better than getting everyone possible.

However I have a new found HATE for Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, WVU, ND, and Cincy because they tend to be the ones going for the same recruits. What really pisses me off is the comparison thing. Lets say I have an A+ for tradition and WVU has B, well if it gets me 70 points and minuses them 30 I'd tend to think I would end up getting that recruit. However, somehow even though I'd get 500+ points and I dropped WVU around 120 I'm still either barely in the lead or made up hardly NO ground. If i'm going to put the effort into recruiting people individually then the comparison factor has to hold much more merit.

My biggest thing that pisses me off is the fact that Terrelle is still getting caught running outside by defensive lineman for either sacks or trying to avoid sacks. Even if I have a created recruit QB with 99 speed the defensive end is almost impossible to outrun to the edge. However, if you have a created back (I created Beanie one year during Dynasty) he's unstoppable if you put his running on aggressive.
