Twisted OD - Y6 WEEK 7 (12/29 11:59 pm est)

[Wasted Memory]

I get the turning down picks, but are there other parts of the CPU defense we can turn up?

In one of the posts earlier I had stated that I would lower the INT slider but in doing so I was going to raise pass coverage.

Pass coverage is already debatably too high as it is, but it's your OD

I don't mean this to be derogatory in the least, but if you guys are concerned about this OD being to difficult for you it might not be the OD for you. Granted the sliders are still being tweaked around here and there but they'll likely never be set to easy or what they were this past season up to this point.

Anyway, point of this post. nick is putting an OD together, if some of you need to jump ship I won't be offended.

I think that having the legit chance of losing a game to the CPU a time or two each season is a good thing. Plus it's not like how ints happen are a mystery. I know sometimes it's just a horrible game, but if your throwing multiple picks every game that's you not just not learning and making adjustments.

I like a challenge, but when 70 rated corners are playing like All American lockdown corners, it's frustrating. All I'm saying. I'll keep playing no matter what.

I have to +1 this statement here. I, without a doubt, am the worst player in our OD and if I can keep my QB's turnover rate low these past two games I know everyone else can. You just have to learn to make the adjustments.

Well I guess we are talking about 2 different things, because I was talking about throwing to wide open WR's and DB's are coming from a great distance to pick the pass off. My adjustment is to run the football 60 times a game. No apologies if my RB has 35 carries and 300 yards rushing.

I'd like to avoid turning this into a big argument when I was hoping we could all just discuss it. Maybe my statement of "if I can do it anyone can" upset you and if so I apologize, it wasn't meant negatively - in fact, I insulted myself by stating I was the worst player here. Also, nothing here was being directed at any one individual.

If 35 carries and 300 yards rushing is your thing, have at it. But there are running sliders I can adjust as well.

I received no Coaching XP after my game. Any solution(s) you guy know of to rectify this issue?

Was it just this last game or has that been going on since you rejoined?

Since I rejoined. I never ran into this problem before, so I thought it was a glitch prior to this game, and it would correct itself after my game against Louisville. More like wishful thinking.

[Wasted Memory]

Yeah, most likely you're not going to get any XP for you coach now. I'm not sure why really, this OD was started after EA supposedly fixed that issue.

nick, are you having that problem also?

[nick]

im thinking the reason we get no xp is cause we join mid season. i joined offseason got xp. in this league i joined midseason twice no XP, and the other league u have i joined midseason no XP

[Wasted Memory]

Makes sense.

How has Bama not signed any recruits yet this season? Jason did you schedule all of your visits late in the season?

[uf83198]

Ahamad Fullwood, WR Fla - 552 Receiving Yards - tied for 5th

told ya I was trying to pass more

Also, LOL at the back to back bye weeks - I guess I dont need to worry about the sliders for a while

I went after a lot of guys and spread myself a bit thin, tbh. I had a few signed to other teams and have given up on some others.

I had a long stretch of no home games and this week I have like 6 guys coming to campus. I should have 3-4 signees after this week.

Sorry about that. I usually try to look for those before we begin the season. I must have completely overlooked that one.

USC's defense was quite a bit more stout than the last two teams I played. Picked me off twice, but they were stupid throws that I shouldn't have made, hard not to though when the dline is crashing in on you. Had to score with under :30 left to take the lead and still almost lost the game thanks to some heroic throws by USC's QB.

Should have probably lost, but for some reason USC lined up to spike the ball with :06 left on the clock and one time out. They didn't get the snap off in time and have no clue why they didn't take the time out.

Notre Dame 32-28
