Heisman vs AA (yes, we are going to TRY to discuss)

[buckeye76]

I havent really played enough games on each level. Probably 4 on heisman and 4 on aa, so my own opinion of whats best FOR the league will have to wait. Heisman so far for me (I like it) has had that 13-7 defensive battle type feel. Hell me and ANK played a game wednesday and it was 0-0 at the end of the 4th quarter heading to OT (yeah i know, we lit it up on the offensive side of the ball.. ). Not a whole lot of room for mistakes. Later in the evening i played a few AA games vs Nole, and Dave, I lost both but thought the game had more of a "FUN" feel to it. I made the same bad reads throwing the ball that I did in my heisman games and the result was the same INTERCEPTION. I havent noticed any dropped passes or more fumbles in one or the other. I was sacked more supriseingly in my AA games than Heisman ones. Overall through 8 games 4h/4aa, My vote FOR the league would be AA, but like I said above I have to play a few more games.

Well, on Heisman, you're gonna get a TON of help from the DBs and DL, so you should pick AA.



Oh, and I LOVE playing FIFA.

this is nick you are believing lol...

I'm actually for AA and 7 mins, whatever gets good stats.

Ok, played another game, and guys Heisman is not that difficult. It really isn't. I used Stanford and Stan used Oregon St.

And I tell you I had no problem moving the football.. Now Stan did but he has always had problems moving the ball..lol ..

Anyway Andrew Luck is a fucking stud a stud. Dude completed 15 of 19 passes only 4 in-completions on Heisman difficulty. And I cant count the times I saw Stan's wrs wide open but they had butterfingers, so he didn't fair as well .

I stick to the fact that Heisman really is not as difficult as it appears, it is very unforgiving, and there is those WTF moments. I just think we have grown too accustomed to knowing we can throw that quick slant route for completions, or that quick flat or stop route with no fear of it getting jumped. And this year on Heisman you can't just going to the money stick plays and quick slants and quick throw them off your back foot for a completion. You actually have to read the coverage and see if that corner has the inside position or if there is a lb sitting in that passing lane to jump the route. You have to access the coverage and actually make the right read.

Yes sometimes these just leads to a coverage sack, cause you cant get outside the pocket to throw it away, and ea has still failed to add the throw it to the feet or extreme overthrows.

I think Heisman offers you a little more realism to how you use the passing game, with some occasional wtf plays by the defense. But I like the realism it brings. It forces you to think and read the field and not go, ok man = slant/ out, zone = post / flat ..

anyway I m sticking to my opinion, Heisman and loving 7 min qtrs.

Give me Heisman or give me death.


On another note, about the peeps who say I ll just play a lot of madden. How do you know Madden wont have the same lock down D.

In the game Teewade and I just played on All-American there had to have been close to 10 or more plays of 40 yards or more. My very first play was a 94 yard run inside the tackles.

Give me Heisman or give me death. I don't think NFL Blitz could sustain the interest of 120 people, that's what that game felt like. Big play followed by a huge play, followed by a bigger play.

Good points...but I have to be honest I suck at this game (this verison and past) that is my issue, but I also am wondering what teams were you guys playing with????were they "A or B teams?" if so I think that has a lot to do with it...I have only been using Tulsa as I am going to keep them for this season and I can tell you I have yet to break a play over 20 yards....Again, I haven't only played about a handful of games but I just wonder if (as it should) have some connection to the teams you are using????That is IF you are using a "GOOD team"....

Damn, everyone in C-USA is staying! I mean who wouldn't want to play me and Randawg every year.

[Weasel]

So, nobody is on board with my 5 min proposal?

[ChampDizzle]

I haven't played enough to determine what is best but I do think 7 min quarters are better for this version due to the acccelerated clock

[Whit]

welp, im done discussing

8 games now on heisman, 6 on AA

never playing another Heis game again unless its a league requirement....if it becomes one, I'll play my 36 games and get some much needed time back for a million other things

i just played my 3rd back to back game where we use same teams, 1 game on heis, 1 on aa....it aint even the same ballpark, it aint the same league, it aint even the same fuckin sport

theres tons of pros and cons i could list but at this point most have been listed with the biggest being defensive play.

I'd rather lose 35-14 cause i could get anythign going defensively than win 10-3, but thats just me

much respect to those who want heis and your opinions

have fun with this one this year mista clarke

Wrap it up. AA it is.

And let's just make 7 min quarters official while we're at it.

It's gonna be a wonderful season fellas.

Yes it Shel, yes it is!

[Hoos]

The problem with Heisman is that certain passes work and certain don't. So, what is going to happen is that every game is going to be played the exact same way. Almost every pass play with be to the middle of the field and RBs will probably own the top 10 receiving spots. I think Heisman is going to make offenses very vanilla and boring.

[packsyD22]

What I don't think some of you may realize is that the passing game isn;t supposed to be easy in real football, so we just expect it to come easy in the game?

you really think we dont realize this?

Well if you expect things to come easy and don't like a difficult football game then AA it is for most. I personally think its a bit of a cop out. However I understand from a league wide standpoint its obviously people wanting to have fun and I am all for that but it is not fun for someone like me when my ruh tard of a DB doesnt make plays he would on heisman, thats all I am trying to say.

I am good either way, I thuroughly (sp) enjoy the heck outta the game.

[LetsGoPeay]

I really believe that we need to go AA for the good of the league as a whole. If we go with Heisman on this version of the game its going to become a real grind to get three seasons in for a lot of coaches. At this point in the life span of the league, when we don't have a ton of "talent" in the Farm, that could be a real problem for the livelihood of the league. I will play out my three seasons regardless; I think that goes without saying. But for some people, having to deal with the frustration of the challenges presented by Heisman difficulty may be too much.

[Cnasty]

I really believe that we need to go AA for the good of the league as a whole.

This is the statement that needs to sit in everyone's mind.

Read it again over and over again.

The more I play the game on AA, the more I dislike it from a personal standpoint but I know that for the good of the league this is the setting we need this year..plain and simple. Really cant stand the way the defense reacts on AA and also the insane amount of drops on AA as well.

It might be a grind for me to get through 3 seasons lately but it has been anyways, it wont matter.

If we want everyone to enjoy the NDL for the fun that it was made for since its a video game anyways, AA is the way to go.

All-American !!

i just wanna say the option game is awesome this year lol
