Tipped balls and running

[roll2tide]

Am I the only one seeing a really high number of tipped balls being caught? I've had 5+ in several games so far, with about 80% of them going to the CPU. USC INT'd 4 tipped balls against me in game.

Running is just too easy. Right now I'm playing All-American and haven't adjusted sliders yet......Darby is averaging about 385 ypg and 90% of my runs are between the tackles. Mostly slams and dives.

I really like the way the CPU D-Line pressures you. It's fast and realistic, imo.

Recruiting is too easy though, I think. I won the MNC in year 1 and signed 9 5* star players and 5 4* star. The CPU seemed to sign a bunch of scrubs for me but I just cut them.

All in all, I love the game. I'm looking forward to going online this week sometime once I've had some more practice on defense and in the passing game.

What difficulty are you playing on? If you want to make the running game harder, either bump up the difficulty level or adjust the sliders for running in favor of the CPU. Also, even if you decide to start playing on heisman, the running on heisman is still effective. You get stopped behind the line a lot, but you can still break a 20+ yard run every now and then.

I've always been an off-tackle runner, but with this game you can actually run up the gut and it's harder to run outside.

You can use sliders to fix all those problems.

what about game fatigue?

I have it "on" but no one has come out because of fatigue. I gave the ball to Darby nine times in a row (8 carries, 1 catch) and when the drive ended (80 yards with a touchdown on the 9th play) he was listed at 95%

now THAT'S unrealistic

They overcompensated from last year - last year if you gave the same guy the ball on three consecutive carries he was at about 60%. And heaven forbid if a non-scrambling QB actually scramble!

I'd rather them err on the side of less fatigue, rather than more. I can always swap packages if I want a different runner.
