Newbie NCAA 08 360 Owner....

Lord, this game is worse about interceptions than the regular XBOX game.

The first season I completed was using campus legend mode. I was a five star recruit and I went to USC. It took me till the fourth game to start and I threw 28 freakin' interceptions!

I completed 66% of my passes for over 4500 yards and 45 toucdowns, but goodness, what is the deal with interceptions?

I am 6 games into my Dynasty with Tennessee and I have thrown 11 interceptions, this game is rough!

I turned down the cpu AI for interceptions but it has not helped.

I know what you're talking about, the interceptions are insane on that game.

Sounds like you need to make better reads and go through your progressions.

Yeah,

Bad reads equal 66% completion percentage!

with cal against the vols i once threw 6 picks and still won by 3 tds. my backup RB is averaging something like 20 yards a carry. 1/3 times i run a pitch to the outside i get a huge gain for a td. the momentum thing is a little crazy. scoring first is the key to beating the computer.

Are you playing on Heisman?

The opener at Cal was terrible, I threw 4 picks and 4 touchdowns.

I think my back had 25 plus carries for a little over a 120 yards and a couple of touchdowns.

The game ended up 42-31.

wow I agree that interceptions occur often but 28?! good lord...I don't throw many interceptions because I pick the right plays now but my defense will still pick off 5 or 6 a game. If someone picks up the game for the first time they usually throw a lot of INTs.

I hardly if ever threw any on the regular xbox game.

I had almost 500 pass attempts so I guess 28 isn't all that bad...... never mind it is!

I had 470 pass attempts and it works out to an interception every 16 attempts..... crazy!

That also works out to 47 pass attempts a game.

Ten games and 470 attempts! Good times!

OE, sounds like you need to learn how to read defenses.

Have bought COD4?

well if that was in campus legend then it's understandable b/c the camera view on a QB can make the field difficult to completely see.

The regular dynasty I was rolling along, I got to the Arkansas State game and their defensive line whipped me. My running back fumbled 3 times, I got sacked 7 times and I threw 5 picks.

Almost half for the season against Arkansas State....

The game kills me......... the wife tells me not to play on Heisman cause I get a little mad at the cpu.
