Sure. What time?

Anytime after 9-10pm et, might actually have to spend time with the wife after the baby goes to sleep since I have been on the PS3 every night this week.

Also, if Wood can play tonight, it would be after that game since that game is harder to schedule, as I see you online at the same time as me alot, and if we can't get the game in tonight, I am sure we can get it in Saturday night.

Let's try for sometime this weekend, then. You're scheduled for WOOD (heh...) tonight. I'll be in bed by the time that game is over.

Yeah, would rather not play you in my first online game of 2010 :biggrin: Not that Wood be any easier, as he should kick my ass since his Okie State team is 100x better than my UCLA team.

So Saturday night it is

Piney wins a defensive struggle 20-14. After three games online, I've noticed two things:

1) Left tackles suck at pass protection in this game. I don't care who it is, they suck.

2) Three online games for me, three options "intercepted" for touchdowns. Someone mentioned somewhere that this was realistic. I beg to differ. One thing's for sure, I'll be looking for a new offense for my Army team. I can't have an entire offense centered around the option when they get taken for a Pick-6 half the time.

Outside of that it seems we've been playing each other a bit too much. He knew what I was going to do almost every play and I think I guessed pretty accurately what he was going to do as well.

Edit: If it's fourth down and the game is on the line, and your running back breaks into the open...DON'T THROW IT TO HIM.

I can't believe your RB did that. You almost wish he dropped it, but instead of falling forward for the 1/2 yard he needed he turned and went backwards???

But needless to say, that was one defensive game. And I didn't know what you were doing offensively the whole game, but I did know you read me like an open book. But me thinks they overdid the defensive keys/strategy on every play. It has almost that Tecmo Bowl feel if you pick the play it is a guaranteed 5 yard loss.

Regarding the pitch interceptions, while it might not seem realistic, it makes up for the unrealistic pitches. Cuz really if there is a guy right there in the pitch lane, 99% of QBs don't pitch it. So the reason you don't see it happen as much in real life, is because the QB eats the ball on those. :wink2:

The Tecmo Bowl comparison is exactly how I feel about the defensive keys. I'm just waiting for my offensive linemen to be thrown off screen.

I was also going to say something similar to pitch interceptions. Real option QBs don't make the pitch in traffic. If they did, picks would be much more common.

I have seen a make-shift counter work when a run-right was called and the D crashed right, the RB just went straight left. But the run middle works far too effectively. Even to the point that it will get the QB sometimes, especially on stretch plays. Do we want to rule out the run middle option? Allow the d-line to shift middle but not crash? I am okay either way and hope it doesnt become an issue, but it is borderline cheese on online play, BN27 whats your take? :biggrin: At the same time if you crash and its a pitch outside its tough to recover...

I like the ability to key on a play, but agree that run middle is extremely ridiculous. I might play around with the run defense slider, and see what kind of effect it has on defensive keys. I have a feeling that I would have to practically turn run 'D' all the way down to work, because of the way that BN27s terrible Syracuse team was able to shutdown a far superior UK's running game. The last thing I wan to do is actually force people to use the keys for every play, so I don't want to have to turn the slider all the way down.

BTW. Piney, Basebuck, and mania still have recruiting to do. I will be advancing as soon as mania and I finish out game tonight. I'm more than willing to wait on games that need to be played, but I really don't feel the need to wait around on recruiting.
