what was the final score?

28-0.

I had a recap written but it got lost in translation. It was iffy I had a storyline that Coach Brady Peterson has been stripped of duties as head coach at Pitt and eternally banned from any affiliation with the NCAA because he was physically and sexually abusing some of the underclassmen on the Panthers. I think it's probably best that it didn't go up anyways lol.

But that doesn't take into account Allen because I guess he didn't have enough carries but that is how the flexbone is the slot backs don't get the carries. So if anything Lewis had too many carries for a slotback but that's it.

The thing with Allen is he only had 61 carries, for 597 and a 9.8 yards per carry...it's just not that many carries...take away his two long runs of 82 vs Clemson and 60 vs FSU and you have 455 yards on 59 carries for a 7.7 avg... the point is Lewis with that many carries and that high of ypg is not realistic at all

Thats what Im saying he had too many carries for a slotback. I had a slotback with 8.1 ypc and 8.9 ypc but one had 70 carries and the other 25. So my guys were closer to what you see from the slotbacks at GT s they had a big ypc and small number of carries

Nah we're good and moved on.

About the stats, I don't really care what numbers people put up. That I don't think is breaking the rules. The only thing I want to encourage here is fair play in USER games. As for CPU games, fuck run it up that doesn't bother me. I did myself a couple times.

To chime in about the realism aspect - I myself am guilty of having somebody who averages 10 yards per carry.

Dexter McCluster is at the helm of the Wildcat formation for me and the majority of the time against the computer it went for BIG gains. Usually I'd set it up a TON with the handoff to my other back on the reverse so that when I went to run the keeper with Dex it had the play allready flashing as Set Up.

He had a lot of BIG gains from this formation, is that considered cheesy?

No not really cause you were just setting up the play. You were i guess trying only to set it up to get a big play from dex but i thnk its good to have a go-to-guy and i don't mind record breaking stats.

I guess I may be in the minority...I just don't think running up the score or stats vs the CPU is good for the league...it skews up awards and makes for a non realistic OD...some folks talk about wanting more user vs user games because having 3 BCS teams being undeafeated as not realistic, but then suggest it's fine to have a RB with 10.0 ypc, or a QB with 50 TD's and don't mind that it's compeltly unrealisitic....seems odd to me...I don't mind when I see a team win a game and score in the 50's, but as we get better recuits and better players and I see teams putting up 70 a game IMHO the league will have lost the realistic value a good OD needs...just my 2 cents...

I don't think people should try and run up the score either but you can't tell people not to score and not have their best players get the ball. It's just like if we all played on freshman level the stats and scores would be astronomical simply because we are better than the computer. I don't think there is any reason people should be trying to score and get stats late in the game but you can't say don't throw to so and so or don't run with so and so or you can only score so many points. I think if you just play like and treat the cpu as a user and don't do things that you wouldn't do against a user it will be fine. I think the biggest thing should be that if you get up big on the cpu in the fourth quarter you should just try to eat clock and not run the score up like you would against a user.

True I guess you could say I got caught up when in the middle of the year Dex was lighting it up. I gave him more touches and threw the ball his way more because he was my proven playmaker - my best bet at converting 3rd downs/gaining solid yardage. I think I'm just a bit bitter that EA screws you over in some games that I take it out on all CPU opponents when I have the chance.

I'm going to start a thread regarding some rules and guidelines we all as the entire OD should agree on and talk about before A) recruiting ANY new user and B) the start of the next season.

I to probably got caught up in trying to go for big stats and didn't let off the pedal as much as I should have late in games, but make no mistake if i need a big play im going to my best players.

I think that will be a good idea

macc when we advacning?

Good game to stanford and zscott. I'm too tired to right a full recap lol. Game seemed extra slow but no excuses Scott beat me. Three turnovers killed me, good d from the cardinal

One game left, Kansas vs CPU

Thanks man. Well said good end to the season

Woah. i wake up on x-mas day 2 this. well i have been complaining to you about brady for awhile. he has been obviously been exploiting the cpu the whole year. i mean 50 god damn TD's in the year with one player, i mean come on guys mix it up abit. pass the ball, run it with some one else.

thats the thing that pissed me off more than his play, i mean he isnt a regular cheeser he just plays a bit like a child and has about 4 plays he uses over and over and the only reason i only beat him by a touchdown is he had a couple of long runs on pitches to lewis when i had the qb tackled. dont know if that is cheese but its a bit of a glitch.

guys i think we gotta get this shit under control, some of us are using one or two guys completely unrealistically and the stats they put up are completely unrealistic and it pisses me off more than anything and makes me wanna quit. i dont care about winning the hiesman and i wouuldn't mind colt mccoy or tim teebow winning it ( cause i feel that is more realistic than some random freshman who no one has heard of who the user decides "i want this guy to win it") ( and i dont mean lewis cause he is good but not heisman material) but i dont wanna have to throw for 5000 yards run for 2000 and have 82 td's to win it because 2 other guys have completely redonculous numbers.

i mean this season was completely out of control and if i wasn't so personnally invested with the bearcats thanks to Macc and those of you that keep it real i would have been gone a long time ago. Correct me if im wrong but isn't the whole fun of this dyn the fact that we are role playing and its not like the other gay dynasties out there that have this problem. If we cant get this shit sorted out IM GONE i cant take, it takes away the fun...

( BTW merry x-mas, i know it isn't x-mas for u guys till tomorrow but it is for me so merry x-mas)

yeAH LOOKS like we are on the same exact page zscott.

btw looks like you prove you should have your shot at the NC, you've made me alittle nervous bout or game next year now.

I agree that these stats are inflated.

But what steps do we take ?

The only thing I can think of is to mess with the sliders. But this also takes some guts in CPU games, because if we lose to the CPU we have to be able to take it. None of us WANT to lose to the CPU, but if we adjust sliders to make the stats more real, then I guarantee you that people will lose the CPU on Heisman, and we will see a TON of re-starts.

I have a link to some Heisman sliders that we may be able to use, and its suppose to be real tough, unless you have stacked team, and even then it will be a challenge of sorts.

I am for whatever, I prefer user games, but I have played in OD"s where the Sliders were ridiculous, and its frustrating against the CPU...but it will make everyone stats level out....

yo special K...I see your on the forums...when u getting your game in?

personally i think the sliders are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to easy atm and would like to see that. BUT in saying that me, macc, jesse and i think goat where in another dyn and the reason it feel apart was that they changed the sliders so im torn.

but i think what ever happens wit sliders we need to self police abit.

fuck i had a long post and its gone.. playing now guys sorry i did las min shopping
