Official NCAA Football '11 Thread

What exactly do you mean by this?

Select your blitzing player(s) and manually blitz them again. Don't do it to everyone, sometimes you want the player to rush his original blitz. Especial when trying to stop the outside run and his blitz is going outside. If I'm rushing the QB I usually do the DE 60-70% of the time depending on the QB. I always do it to the blitzing OLB, it seem to me they take better angles when done.

New features will be added to the game on account of the free memory Mount Cody's departure will open up.

Coaches will be recruitable.

Ingram is a 99 lock along with TR. There will be a glitch that leaves McClain on the game. Also, holding mysteriously disappears from the Rules menu when playing Bama.

Ole Miss will not be ranked 11 on this one. Not in the country anyway. Jerrell Powe is a 99 lock as well. He will an inspire a new Landsharkness rating, which he will be a 99 at.

Also, if you play a dynasty with Ole Miss, you will be forced to throw the ball 70% of the time through the first 6 games of every season, only to put up H15sman numbers with your running back the last half of the season.

Brantley at least 93. In the new "Jort Mode", he will be 97.

Snead will... oh... Damn... If he comes back, he is going to be rated no higher than 60. He will then, inevitably, send EA a letter breaking down every one of his ratings. He will later cry about it.

Cam Newton will have 99 speed and at least 99 for throwing accuracy. Also, he will be given an extra year of eligibility on swagga quotient alone.

Patrick Peterson would have been 99 had he closed the deal on that interception against Bama. He'll settle for a 95. He will also have a stamina issue and will cramp up every 5 plays.

LSU will also lose all timeouts and deep passing plays with 2 minutes left to play. When playing Ole Miss, a timeout will be granted but a player must hit the new "Consult a State Trooper" button first, which takes 19 seconds.

When you play LSU, there will be a random play option called '3rd and Chavis' for every 3rd down. Running this play will increase your 3rd down conversion percentage by 67%.

Also when playing with LSU, your best player through the 2nd quarter will be benched.

There will also be a glitch preventing Russell Shepard from running the ball more than 5 times per game. If he scores, he's done. Also, he WILL NOT be eligible to play in any championship game or bowl game until he's a senior.

A "Want" rating will be added as well.

Jordan Jefferson will continue to be a legitimate PlayStation quarterback.

Ryan Mallett will break discrepancy records with 99 throwing power and 59 accuracy. He will also win the H15sman Memorial Trophy.

Mississippi State will actually win the SEC title whether you simulate or not since they aren't playing the nation's toughest schedule this year. That's all that's been holding them back. Chris Relf will be ranked 90 at everything.

Every TN player's rating will drop by 5 points on account of the nation's 2nd best coach leaving (Petrino being the best) except for Stamina, which will increase by 5 on account of all the running (from the authorities) they have to do.

Tebow's face will be on the disc and his words shall be in your heart.

in year 2 of offline dynasty with ut and florida doesnt have a kicker/punter over 44 rating and fullback is kicking:huh::glare:

From the games I've played so far, there is literally no reason to ever use zone against the CPU, it will simply pick you apart since it's almost impossible to pressure the QB. Against human opponents it can be a bit more effective.

I'm not playing the CPU I'm playing online.

It really is about impossible to get pressure from just a front 4 blitz. They'll fight and come close, but unless it is a jailbreak screen, they have all day to throw.

Cool. Thanks for the tips.

I can get pressure with 4 out of the 3-4, sometimes. Its usually my player though. Use your stick skills. I rarely blitz only 4 though.

I bring heat a lot. I want to switch to a 3-4 style in like a year or two. Right now with Tennessee, the DTs are solid enough and i don't have the OLB strength i want to have yet. I would be much more effective in 3-4, I think.

Alabama might run it down my throats some though. They're ridiculous even a few years down the road.

I went to the multiple defensive playbook. It has a lil bit of everything except 4-2-5

Apparently there is a massive hole in this years game with recruiting.

After a couple of years the players get pretty sorry and the good players all go to the best schools, who for some reason or another recruit certain positions and not others.

Kicker and punters apparently are all awful going forward, kinda makes me not even want to play a dynasty.

 

[005]

Has anyone busted a long kickoff return yet?

I don't have all the skill players in place to have an elite KR yet, but it seems like there's no room on kick returns.

It seems to be all or nothing, i broke 2 on returns where the coverage was retard-level broken.

4-2-5 is the only set that will stop the glitched offenses regularly...

Not glitched, but the outside runs on the multiple, as dumb as that sounds

 

[005]

Everyone seems 900 times faster than me on kickoff returns.

Also, has anyone noticed that a player will catch a pass and get... pretty easily caught from behind?

Yes, my 97 speed WR was caught from behind after 40 yards by a 92 speed DB. Makes no sense.

Thank you haha. Yet, if they bust one, there is no catching them. It's almost random. Sometimes they will not come close to you and sometimes with 5 steps on a guy he'll get caught.

By the way, who is WR #7 for the vols?

 

[IPorange]

Milton?

Pretty sure it is supposed to be Meline.

Whoever that is, they are talented. All of the WRs for tennessee are very, very useful.

I redshirted Bray and a couple of the freshmen wide receivers in my offline dynasty. I'm playing on All American level and I'm now at 6-0. I just beat undefeated and #1 ranked Bama 21-17. I'm now ranked #2 in the nation behind undefeated Wisconsin. I'm really looking forward to season 2 with my full complement of players.

I agree. I think Tennessee is a solid team. Except when playing the turds. I can never get them to hang on to the ball with bammers overrated players. Luckily I'm a power run type of guy and this game seems to favor that.

Elaborate please. I haven't ran into any glitches besides on play action where the QB sprints 30-40 yards behind the LOS after the hand off. There is also a problem with DB in man coverage running the receiver routes before they make their cuts. It's kinda weird seeing that.

Wisconsin was crazy good in mine too! Never put them on a custom schedule or anything, and they lost before the championship a couple times.

I am kinda 'throwing' a year, redshirting a TON of guys, and so the year after will have a fulllllllllllll arsenal of guys who would've been gone if I hadn't redshirted, plus the good recruits i've picked up. I cannot wait.

Yeah, it's pretty easy against the CPU. I think I returned 6 or 7 of them in the first dynasty season I played. If they kick it outside the hash marks it's usually like taking candy from a baby.

Then you're a better man than I. I guess I just let babies keep their candy. Rude.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I can't do jack on kickoffs or punts. The best I've done on kickoffs is about the 35 yard line, and punts I usually get hit as soon as I catch the ball.
