I think AA is the way to go in terms of overall league enjoyment.

:D
I realize my vote doesn't matter so I just play to get a ranking for a little while until I give in and only play league games after a while.

I would be shocked if we went away from heisman again, although I normally enjoy the games on AA more because I like more scoring in games. All of this is because usually I play a very conservative style that involves limited passing because I simply can't pass, and the chances to break more long runs usually makes me a better player.
you miss east lobby room play huh ;) ????

Translation: I think AA is the way to go. Even though it will be impossible for me to win 4 Heismans, I will do it on AA and the enjoyment of me dominating the league will be fabulous. :lol:

Poor fella.

You sound like Northwestern Nole. :lol:
With the way DBs play and UF's DBs in particular, a vote for Heisman is basically saying you approve of BigMike winning 3 straight titles.

That alone should be enough to vote for AA. :lol:

ugh, ok...i said i was going to avoid the whole aa vs heisman topic this year and just play on whateva is decided.

..but i have a big mouth so i'll just say 1 thing :)

You cant base aa vs heis on Bigmike or VT or any of the top 5 or 6 most winningest guys. Mike is going to win with florida if we played on pre-school level or all-universe.

What needs to be considered is average NDL coach vs average NDL coach.

What level will those 2 guys (who comprise 80% of the league), have the most "fun" and most "simulated like" games.

Thats all im saying...im shutting up now til the decision is made and will be happy eihter way

Hmmmm, just finished playing AA, as I broke off some nice runs with the UNLV team...........yes.........UNLV. High scoring affair in this game, but it was exciting. I am game for either......if we go AA, then I will go with a lower, low team............to make some waves.

Heisman is easier to run on then last year, but MUCh harder to pass on.

So, we'll just be looking at the same old 1st person to 4 INTs wins the league games and instead of only 15-20 guys having more TDs than INTs, we might have 10-15, lol.

I'm hoping for a change from the same old league games and same old league stats we've had on heisman for so many seasons now.

It'll never be completely realistic, but i think AA would give us the best college feel for this game.

i agree. 17-10 is very rare compared to 45-35 in real life, but it happens a lot in our league i think and I would rather have the higher scoring

I don't miss it, per se, but it's not like they're kicking you in the nuts on every play. It's more like real football where you run something until they stop it, while in our league you have to frantically watch what you do to keep someone from reporting you

Either way we go, I am game. I really like this game, and I have not had the chance to say that since NCAA 04 or 05 on the PS2. Graphics, gameplay, smooth online play, passing and running, user controlled players on defense is easier to control. I like it, the camera angles need to be fixed, but overall, AA and Heisman are both pretty good.

I've played a few games now online and I'm leaning more toward AA...just seems to play more fun and not so restrictive. I'll keep playing more though, just first impressions.

easy stan the man, i didn't take any offense to that comment.

I played 1 game so far (damned drinking/work), but I found it was harder to control players on D than it was in last year's game? It may be that i'm far from used to the new game, but normal for sure user picks were dropped in this one. I wonder if a conservative game plan keeps your DBs from catching passes??
