How do you win when

[tvolsfan]

you are playing online against Ohio State in Columbus, your quarterback is 0 for 7 with your backup 0 for 1, you have 5 turnovers and didn't force any, your QB fumbles twice inside the redzone, once at the one, and on the next play you give up a 99 yard TD play, your kicker duffs an easy field goal, and to make it worse, the lag of the poor connection is screwing your timing up.

Turn Coker loose for 303 yards and 6 touchdowns.

And if that isn't enough, let Hardesty run for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns.

And if you still want to seal it, let Foster and Ainge combine for 100 more.


Seriously, anyone notice how dangerous Coker and Hardesty are online, with Foster at fullback.

i just cant get over the fact that the 3-3-5 stuffs any run between the tackles online, and that your DBs stand still in their zone as the RB streaks past them on a direct snap, without fail.

But, way to win, regardless of my anger at EA for muffing the online game

On 360, there is no direct snap I believe, and I think that is a good idea.

Why even try to pass? I know plenty of people that just don't try, because the computer always gets a way with bulls**t every time you try to pass.

Sometimes the coverage on the long balls is un@#$%ing believable. They stay an inch in front of the WR who may actually be much faster the whole way.

You guys would be surprised how well Ainge runs the option.

[milohimself]

Yeah... He's not that nimble on the game but he's pretty quick in a straight line. Which is actually about how it is in real life.

Yeah, you can get him around the ends fairly fast on the option. He can even take a hit pretty well. He jukes slower than my grandma tho =)

He actually ran like a 4.67 in high school... Granted he weighed 30 pounds less, but still.

That is really all I need before I leave it to Coker to take it another 60 yards. Ainge just needs to get there, and occasionally I will let him go if the first down or endzone is within reach.

It also helped me run direct snap last year that I used Tennessee, and Riggs was like an 18 wheeler going up against ants.
