2017 Week 8 Discussion

hey 9s great game. this loss hurts deep in my soul lol but its all good. It sucked so bad that alot of the times i knew what you were about to run and i could not stop it. I thought i had a pretty good defense but i guess not. they straight folded against the run. but all in all good game im sure next years game will be even better

yeah...i knew you knew where i was gonna go...so it was a little chess match....we always have great games.....gg gang

A&M beats down the Wildcats of Kansas....38-0...my D was on top of there game tonight...holding KSU to 2 first downs....great to get JR HB Aaron Dockery back in the fold....15 carries for 67 yards and a TD, but the star of the day was Prezident Carter who ripped off 20 carries for 151 yards and 2 TD...Aggies push record to 6-1.....

one thing that i think we should discuss in the offseason, is tweaking a bit so we can generate some sort of pass rush. sometimes their qb sits back in the pocket for 7 to 8 seconds with no rush whatsoever. i watch, and each individual Olineman holds their block for eternity. its not even about getting sacks. but applying pressure so maybe the qb has to get rid of the ball sooner than he would like.

thoughts?

yep.. no pressure whatsoever.. i agree.. and 9's sometimes u take what i say to literally.. i swear i will never speak on ne thing again.. cause u always take what u want from what i said rather than understand what im trying to say so nm.. im fine.. dline rush could be pumped up.. cpu has too mich time to throw i agree with goat.

in response to gruden its not about big yards.. its about ne yardage all shotgun runs (just like in last years version) are stopped for loss.. u cant run read option which is the corner stone of the spread offense or dives because my o lineman cant win ne individual battles against ne one.. so the only way for me to get yards running is in a speed option and they normally dont go for big yardage. the previous set allowed for decent runs inside.. 4-5 yards it was ur 5 lineman oon 3 dline man.. so with combo blocks u could get to the second level.. here not so at all.. that was really all i was saying.. fun for me is fair..sometimes they win.. sometimes i win but as it is now.. its all cpu win n thats not fun in my personal opinion.. for example in nba 2k11 i just lost to the heat.. but it was a real fair loss lebron dominated my small forward almost had a tripple double.. and im totally ok with it because it wasnt cheap they just beat me.. i can live with a loss when it happens fairly.. if i were to lose to the cpu here it would be because in one game i lost 4 of the 5 fumbles i have every game and because i had a pass int by a dline man annnddd a tip pass picked off by a dt all in the same game... and to me its like come on is that really how i want to lose? no.. if they have a beast at wr and he goes for 200 on my cb and i can do shit with him ...like a aj green or julio jones... i can deal with that.. but not cause the cpu made it so they could win u kno?

So the viking in last years NFC championship lost cheaply...cuz AD fumbled 3 times and Percy fumbled, and Favre fumbled....I'll call the saints and let them know their NFC championship was cheaply won..and they deserve a restart....my point is bad things happen in games sometimes....its the breaks....please accept it...and for the record....my leading sacker has 5 sacks and missed 2 games...I feel boosting anything for us the human doesnt seem right

so all that's left is Gator??

Gator i play you on the advance...when are you free? I am free after work at 530pm eastern on...lets try and get it in early!

I thought Titan played last night?? no??

idk i cant tell...when i log into the dynasty page i dont get updates. did he?

looks like he didn't get his game in...i did see Gator online playing NCAA Football though...thats weird

me too....he had the orange thing by his name last night.....strange indeed

Titan!! where are you brother???

ur right it does happen... does it happen every single game?! 5 fumbles every game? dont take what u want out of what im saying i didnt one 5 fumble game.. i have had a 5 fumble game every single week.. ya sounds real sim to me.. find me a team in the history of college football that had 25 fumbles in 7 games... add the 5 ints from one qb and the 3 by the other and thats what 34 turnovers in 7 games..(granted i didnt lose every fumble but u can see my point.) ne how like i said im done i will play for the sake of everyone here but this is by far the least it has ever been fun and since ur stuck on stats im preforming as well as i ever have only difference in my scores this year from ne year is less defensive td's offense is still flying high..so u can continue to try to chop it up to stats rather than understand that the experience right now isnt enjoyable...

ax why dont you try a new playbook? Pistol? switch it up...sometimes making changes makes it brand new

I have 4 total fumbles....so maybe its something you are doing...not sure K.....do you press r1 to cover up the ball in traffic?

yea i run all day ax and i have 2 or 3 total fumbles

what would make it more enjoyable???

pleae check in Titan.....havent heard from you.....I'm getting concerned

who has titans cell number? someone text him

I know Gruden has it.....its still early in the west though

he seems to be logged on to the OD again....time will tell

i always put the "big run" thing on conservative. i don't think i've fumbled yet this season.

I really liked those Alternate Uni's your Tarheels wore the other game.....Too bad PSU has no uni options....its a tradition afterall

can anyone confirm that Gator is playing right now?

I think how each one of us view the game and results to what makes playing fun is key (and obviously if we have 12 players there are going to be 12 different points of view)....That being said, what I have found is I better mix things up, and you can run up the middle it might only be for 5 yards but if you do mix it up plays do work....I have no proof, but I imagine if you run the same couple of plays over and over the CPU will penalize you, example dropped pass, WR not getting open, fumbles, penalties etc....I don't totally understand how the sliders work in regards to this stuff, but there seems to be some sort of failure for not playing realistic?...Example, I find it really hard to complete pass plays when I'm up by a large margin and realistically a team wouldn't throw in that situation, usually results in a drop or batted down ball at the line of scrimmage.....

...That being said, I see some pretty big numbers still being put up, so there must be a work around in regards to this....If I had to guess it would be dudes running options and pitching the ball extremely late and gaining big yards...for me winning a game vs Oklahoma state 17-14 is much more fun then 80-14?....For me, running the ball for 5 yards having to work a 10 play drive is much more fun then running 5 wide and hit a streaking WR over and over....but that's me.

how did i miss this post??? I think Gruden nailed it here
