Re: Only OREGON STATE left... DBL, I'm not going to say Oregon State and Washington are huge rivals, but really, all teams in the Pac North West have a grudge going on. You would actually be able to have a RUN game! And hell, if you REALLY want you can make James Rodgers (high 80's overall I believe) your version of Julio - with that said I think you'd be stupid to not run Jacquizz all over the field.. Your team is A LOT like Alabama in many ways. I think you'd have fun with OSU.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... I'll even do a Sunday/Wednesday if it helps everybody out with the DBL league.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... For the guys that have looked over the recruits so far, have you found a lot of what you were looking for? I know I went and made an excel spreadsheet of about 10-15 prospects at each position and ranked them accordingly - My entire recruiting list (35 people) is FILLED with people that have NO interest in me right now so I'm REALLY gonna have to work at this recruiting. One guy in particular I'm gonna throw a fuckin' fit if I don't get him - he IS the future of Washington football.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Something tells me you're gonna be real competitive with a lot of big time recruits.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... The only thing I'm really scared about is USC and UCLA just raping the shit out me recruiting wise because my best pitch is also and A+ or A for USC and UCLA.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Yeah I am going to ave to work my ass off for recruits. A couple of 3 stars like me so
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Also, For the record, I'm pretty sure that *EVERY* team in the Pac-10 has the CA recruiting advantage because I know ALL Pac-10 schools have CA as a pipeline state. Which ultimately makes recruiting EXTREMELY interesting because in many cases we are going after the same recruits. This is no coutrywide shit, this is California wide and not a whole lot else...
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... I'm really particular about who I recruit so even though a few 3* like me, most of them didnt get offers (yet) because they did not have the specific skillset I was looking for.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... No we are not. I want DBL to commit to Oregon State and then I will likely advance to week 1 TOMORROW - unless everybody gets their READY TO ADVANCE button ready tonight.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... nah, and am I set in the one you finally made official on the recruits?
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Ready to advance by tonight would be AWESOME. Anyways, I'm sending DBL his invite now and you should all do your recruiting ASAP. DBL, I understand you might not be able to do it until after your league and thats fine by me - Hopefully we can advance to week one tonight, at the LATEST we advance to week 1 TOMORROW night.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... yeah it would be awesome I was just on a minute ago and I think you, OU, Dbl and I want to say Zona need to set ready to advance.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... All invites sent out - USC, I guess do what you want with Corp/Barkley but it is my personal opinion that Barkley has the better throwing stats and I can tell you from personal experience that Corp does not throw the best deep ball - do as you please though... I guess.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Once again everybody, I am going to absolutely ABUSE Jake Locker. Expect 12-18 carries per game. You had better keep a spy on him the ENTIRE game. That is your warning...
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Someone want to tell me what kind of offense Wash St actually runs besides scoring 8 ppg. I saw the QB is the star player
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Honestly, because their offense is so shitty it was hard to tell what they wanted to do last year. I remember seeing a lot of rollouts from Lopina - pretty sure that's how they beat Washington was kept rolling him out. His throw numbers suck though, so good luck with whatever you can get. If I was you i'd run the ball as much as possible. You actually have 2 pretty decent RB's and if your O-Line can block anybody you should be able to run decently. Against good teams like USC... you basically have no chance whatsoever so I'd throw everything out the window
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... BTW, What do you guys think of having actual penalty sliders? I have some adjusted now where I think we can expect some penalties in our games but if people don't want that then I can just lower them back to default. Also, the sliders I have, especially against the CPU favor the running game. The CPU should be able to run against you guys, so watch out for that... Thinking about highering the run blocking slider now that EA fixed that with this last patch.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Locker had like 150 carries 2 years ago. If I didnt do this I would be deviating from what Udub actually does, moreso I would be taking away my best chance of winning games.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... I just lowered the CPU RB ability to 50 (was at 60) and highered the run blocking to 60 (from 50) - IF any of you notice the game killing you on kickoffs still then I will put it back. Test it out for the first game, if the game is getting an INSANE amount of pancake blocks, whether it is on the kickoffs or the holes are just opening too big then I will fix this accordingly. If anybody cares about the sliders I have right now: USER OFFENSE: QB Accuracy 35 Pass Blocking 50 WR Catching 50 RB Ability 50 Run Block 50 USER DEFENSE Pass Coverage 70 Pass Rush 50 Interceptions 10 Rush Defense 35 Tackling 50 CPU OFFENSE QB Accuracy 40 Pass Block 25 WR Catch 45 RB ability 50 Run Block 60 CPU DEFENSE PAss Coverage 50 Pass Rush 45 Interceptions 20 Rush defense 50 Tackling 55 FG POWER FOR BOTH USER AND CPU IS SET AT 0
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Defenses adjust to it in real life. They don't on the game. You can't control all 11 players. Roll out every play and throw once you have better angles. That's East Room cheese.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Runing with him is fine. I just can't stand someone rolling out every play and then throwing. The cpu defenses just can't defend it.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Bro... my offensive line is HORRIBLE, my defense is HORRIBLE, my RB's are HORRIBLE - Locker is about all I have. Like I said, literally spy him the ENTIRE game - it might actually be smart against me to spy him the entire game and take control of the spy yourself. That is how I would beat me...
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Trust me, there will be a lot more running with him than passing and for some reason he always seems to get hurt so I actually imagine he misses some time during the season. I know I'll be running out of bounds and sliding pretty much every chance I get.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... All of you can fuck off because my OL is terrible and I am going to do whatever I can to win the game.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... You might have the worst OL in the game. I'd hit the O-Line recruiting HARD.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... I'd be really devastated if I didn't get a couple recruits that I have targeted.
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... There is literally only one player on your team that I would want on my team (and my team sucks) - Louis Bland. Maybe one of your RB's, maybe...
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... I have no idea how you expect to win 4 games. If you win 2 games I think it should be considered a minor miracle. Hawaii or SMU is really the only chance you have at winning any games...
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... Umm, you left the option to buy stuff turned on. That means people can buy pipeline states and shit. Are we doing that?
Re: Only OREGON STATE left... I'm running Denard and Tate a ton more next year, got my ass kicked sitting in the pocket ... not happening again, but not going to be 4 wide non-designed rollout scrambles, just designed plays mostly.
