I faced the same exact problem with defending the QB roll outs. I think the only way to defend it would be to put DBs as OLBs and have them play QB scrambles aggressively. If your opponent uses the edges, add speed on defense. If they play power, add strength and block shedding to the field. Even then, their coaching points will be much higher so you'll have to be smart about your play calling and guess what they will run and commit your defense to it.

9s shut me down once by committing to the run on almost every play and my OL was blown up. When I faced PC once, I was able to affect his DE play by always running away from him and adjusting my pass protection towards him. On defense against Georgia I was disguising my cover 3 defense constantly and forcing him to throw into coverage.

Even if you do all of that, you're still going to be worse than everyone in terms of personnel and will get exploited by better athletes. It doesn't help that the sliders we use are heavily stacked in the AI's favor.

Coach Ted Cruz has taken over BYU. Ready to lead the Mormons to a natty.

I don't necessarily think I'm bad at this game especially vs users. The only user game I played that I got beat badly was the last one before I quit. The season before that I should've beaten Georgia easily but my QB couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. I couldn't beat the CPU teams at all because my players were trash and then I didn't want to complain about changing teams.

I also don't game the CPU players like some do (Rolling out their QB every play and then scrambling, darting inside the tackle on every pass rush, using read option a ton, calling 9 routes on every passing play) so it's hard for me to compete against users when I play realistically.

With that being said, can I come back? :cheers:

I don't think I want to be Iowa State though :yack:

Looks like some drama started :lol:

I guess that's one way to get it active in here.

I try not to run a ton of read option in the sake of realism but that's probably been my downfall. I've also gotten a few JUCO players but they get to be in the 80s in terms of overall and I really needed 90s to beat the teams I was playing.

I tried so hard to recruit and get better. Sometime I'd spend 4-5 hours a night just practicing plays in my playbook and it never helps. I'm just not good enough I guess. My recruiting fell off once again and I only have one 70+ player on my board that might commit to me. Even then, with how good the Big 12 is in the game, there's no way I'd ever be able to out recruit and beat those teams with it being on heisman. It just wasn't mean to be I guess.

I probably should've taken the SMU job that was offered but I didn't think that through well enough.

I had a lot of fun though and I'm glad I tried to make it work. I hope you guys continue to have fun with this because it seems like a really good group of quality people.

Thanks man. It's all good. I had the wrong guy in.

you too bro. Gonna be good

Yeah sure thing. 9 central right?

I'm down to play tomorrow if he wants.
