My formal complaint:
1. We had to start 3 times. Twice, there was a mysterious disconnect. Once when we were tied at 7 and I was driving into his side of the field. And the first time I was up 14-7. Yet the third time when he gets a lucky pick right off, perfect connection...
2. He toggled show blitz off and on before each snap. Now, some of you may not realize what this does. If your defender(s) are already moving at the snap of the ball, they immediately are running at full speed regardless of the momentum feature. In other words, it makes nearly perfect coverage and makes the defenders behave like homing missiles. I can't show this in a video because it is pre-snap, but I doubt he has the balls to deny it. This was the biggest influence on the game.
3. He rocket catches. On multiple occasions, he would toss a hail mary type pass to a covered receiver, then user the receiver and sprint underneath it. This is not simulation football. Unfortunately, the only good video from the last game doesn't stick on the receiver. I uploaded it, and you can see that the receiver suddenly gets separation after the ball is thrown. This is because he got the NCAA equivalent of a push-off, by switching to the receiver, bumping the CB and sprinting hard under the ball.

4. He went for it on 4th and 1 on his 40 while up 21 in the first half, with 20 seconds left to go in the half. That's blantant non-sim football. If he didn't get it, I would have been at the door of field goal range.
5. Similarly, he was passing to run up the score if possible late in the 4th. Whatever, it doesn't hurt my feelings but that isn't sim football.
6. He ran counter out of I-form about 20 times. That's ridiculous.
7. He pump fakes EVERY passing play. That isn't sim. This is EVERY pass play:

My beef is that this was to be a simulation-style tournament. This is not a simulation-style player, and it isn't even close.
Furthermore, was he not kicked for cheesing in a VN dynasty before? I swear I have tasted this variety of cheddar before.
