Running SJ.com NCAA '11 online dynasty thread

    Hmm, that's weird. In my first-ever offline dynasty game, I had six guys go down with injuries, and each one had a little deal that popped up at the bottom of the screen. (I also had nine turnovers in the game, and trailed UTEP (!) 35-0 in the first half. Of course, I'm also playing with a D+ team that I made in TeamBuilder, but man, this game seems to be a little bit more difficult than '10 was.)


    Gasp!

    Hm. I know they did last year. Not this year, huh?

    My first game with NC State went about as expected -- pulled away for a 38-10 win against Akron. I didn't find it super difficult, but I was playing with a much better team on the default setting.

    Probably going with NC State for the dynasty, but I want to give Wake and Kentucky a quick ride before I make up my mind, and possibly Virginia.

    Looking forward to playing 11. I'm on an every-other-year rotation with sports games, so I missed out on 10.

    Going to try and buy it this weekend ... at the very latest next weekend.

    You didn't miss much with '10.



    Oh and I just thought of another reason I like Nevada. They have a FB with 89 speed. A FULLBACK!!! (Although now that I think about it, I didn't check his size, so maybe he's a FB in HB clothes).

    Even so, Hank. His blocking attributes will much, much better than a halfback moved to fullback (if that's the case).

    I think there's nothing more that I hate than playing online video games.

    Why doesn't EA install a fair play system? It turns defense into a 4-down game with everyone and their brother going for it every time. Also, the onside kick abuse in this year's game is ridiculous. It's not even real football.

    How long were the 4th downs?

    4th and 8, 4th and 7 on own 33, 4th and 6...They're all long. I don't mind the 4th and 4's or less past your own 40 yard line. They just use their glitchy play. No one wants to play football.

    I've got the game. Been trying to get used to playing with Purdue.

    Ah, ok I'm with you then. If you minded less than 4th and 4 from beyond my own 40 you probably wouldn't like playing me :D.
