sucks you can't play special teams . . . in getting ready for this OD, I "sim'd to next possession" and I can't tell you how many times I lost a fumble on a KO or PR.

*knock on wood* luckily there weren't any of those today.

You're telling me.

I drove down against Colorado tied 27-27. Got it to the Colorado 16, called a time out with 3 seconds left. The computer decides to call a running play and the game ends (instead of kicking the FG). Can we kick our own FG on 2nd or 3rd down? I was figuring no...

Then, in OT, score a TD on first possession, kicker misses the XP. Lose when Colorado scores on 4th and goal from the 11 in their possession and makes the kick.

Why do they think special teams kicking on offense is not offense?

"Called my wife fat"!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

After reading all of these posts I'm starting to think playing a user game was an advantage!

Oh well, have #4 Texas A&M week2... 1-1 here we come!

So they should have an option to play as a Special Teams coach along with the HC, DC and OC. lol huh?!

That would be hilarious - we should all have to start as Special Teams coaches and work our way up.

I actually was able to kick a FG in my game yesterday on 4th down. I was shocked really. It was going to let me call a play from within in FG range on a 4th and short. Kicker is terrible...I now know why it let me try to call a play....

Well damn. Could have had a nice win in week 1...

It didn't give me that option against Michigan. And somebody needs to tell them that it is unNDL like to play man every down!



Well, put the fear of God in Michigan at least. Unfortunately it wasn't the defense that blew it. MTSU goes up by 4 with about 3 minutes left in the 4th. Michigan scores and scores quickly. The offense then blows it the first time by throwing an INT. Defense forces a punt and we have 1 minute to get down the field and score a FG to tie the game. Things go rather well and we're in FG range but moving the ball so well I figure let's score....INT....

Did I mention that knocked out my starting QB early in the 3rd though? Cheating f'ers!

So it was late in the 4th quarter and I had been stopped on about my last 3 drives . . . well, it was time for the ST coach to step up and pen them deep to make it difficult to try and tie the game. Well, instead of hitting "SQUARE" so that it all warp speeds through the game, I hit "X" so I could see the plays unfold. Well, we fumble the punt snap and they get the ball 34 yards away from tying. Instead of playing it out, I wanted to see what they did each play so, again, I hit "X" versus "SQUARE" . . . well, they end up NOT scoring, but now I am stuck at the "SIM" screen and I cant get out . . . even though I won . . . The game is not frozen as I can scroll up and down the play log and use the "PS" button, but I can't get out of this screen to end the game . . . DAMN IT!!!

That sucks. And you know it'll be a much tougher game next time around.

Army pulls out what could be the biggest upset of the year, and crushes Clemson 38-14! I have no idea how my D stopped them, but they held Clemson to just 287 total offensive yards... Meanwhile, Army's SG Run attack absolutely demolished Clemson. We put up almso 600 offensive yards (440 on the ground). They had no answer for the duo of QB Angel Santiago and RB Raymond Maples, who had 143 yds and 274 yds respectively. Santiago cashed in 5 times on the ground, while Maples was clearly the work horse.

I must've been lucky today, as my defense clearly manhandled a greater opponent. There were a TON of 1st half 3 & outs...

Lol... honestly, i didn't even read that until you quoted it. Haha... I don't think that will be happening too often. That game felt very very "lucky"

down 17-10 in the 3rd quarter the power flashes. . . .just now came back up. Not sure if that was the PS3 gods smiling on me since the 2nd attempt was ALOT worse then the 1st attempt.

Attempting to play again . . . *cross fingers*
