We don't need to feature QB running, but we do need the threat to be taken seriously. That means at least one more player on D who can't concentrate on a runner or receiver because the QB will run right by him if he does. That needs to happen early, although not necessarily often. Not like we need to resurrect Split-T option calls from the Wishbone graveyard on the reg, but we sure as hell want to make opponents commit that one extra guy to Arch, even if we only run it once or twice.
As far as the season, the big trophy goes to the team that can do what it takes to win the last four or five games in a row... whatever it takes.
Also they can’t completely abandon running lanes and run lots of stunts. That shit worked last year with a statue but arch will punish them by stepping up and hitting guys or taking off for an easy 15

I hate going to the 3 man front and having Simmons in a 3 point and Burke standing up off the edge. I know I can sub and switch things around, but it gets frustrating and takes too long. I also wish I could set positions to the boundary or field.
As others have said yeah you can switch stuff around this year hopefully.
But I just play dime or nickel and use the right stick at the formation to 4-DE and it won’t put any DTs in and give you fast pass rushers across the whole front.
Why the hell ya want to go to a 3 man front anyway lol or is it a 3 down lineman and Burke standing at OLB rushing?
Also 99 OVR is not high enough for Anthony Hill

Baxter or Clark aside - and, yes, an elite RB mighta pushed us over the edge - I think the real problem was having opponents able to show zero respect for the QB to do anything other than hand off or pitch/pass the ball, and to pay relatively little attention to the deep ball.
Not a Mack issue these days, but if Arch continues to be who he showed us he is last season, our offense is going to be 10 to 14 points a game better. I'm not sure even Mack could find a way to fuck that up.
Yep
But I do prefer Sark keeping the QB a distributor because it will keep Arch healthy.
Sure if they give it to you, run it. Even Quinn gimped down the field for a free 30 yards against aggy. But slide or go out of bounds. Evade and keep eyes downfield.
We don’t want or need hero ball like Sam always had to do. Get to the National Championship game then go nuts.

If they could just get the playbook right and allow for saving modifications between games online.
for instance Baxter since he was hurt was #56 and generic everything
Since they didn’t have anyone at full back he would somehow get stuck there in goal line
Had to depth chart Gibson at FB and at RB#2 so I could get him the rock a lot.
as good as Blue was in the game Gibson was actually my best RB most games. If you could get him a few good carries in a row he would “catch fire” and get faster and better.
Blue it was harder to get him “hot”Also the playbook was jacked at the beginning of the year online for Texas, but it at least had normal I formation which is one of the strongest in the game. The I formation lineman and WRs actually block sometimes. Then they fixed Texas playbook which actually removed a lot of stuff and added in total crap pistol plays and sets, and all the orbit motion stuff was fucked.
Florida and Kansas had the best playbooks I found last year. I guess allowing custom playbooks may be too far because people abuse things but damn just give us more plays and sets (and formation subs) and that will be enough to have fun.

Most Surly recognize the need to remember the past for purposes of avoiding repetition of it. There is no joy in the remembrance.
I was at Texas during the Colt years, I remember it fondly. But even though Colt was badass, Jamaal Charles bailed us out constantly. One good thing about Mack is he would keep feeding the RBs even when we were down.
Can’t wait to see a healthy Baxter this year he was the missing piece from last year. Blue had fumbling issues and Wisner wasn’t explosive or powerful as Baxter.

He’s doing what he can. Poor guy hobbles around like he can’t afford knee surgery but maybe there’s not much else they can do.

Formation subs is such a big deal for me. I recruit run stopping DTs and the game will always auto sub DEs in when I’m in nickel.
Yeah sub in all DEs and show cover 0 online while playing quarters is my thang. Then user a safety in man robber cover 1 and drop dbs over the top and rob any crossers.

Is someone other than EA Sports making it? If not, then I'll pass. People will continue to purchase these games every year so EA has no incentive to make a quality game.
lol yeah
I’m pre ordered though because it’s one of the only games I actually play.

not like this is a one-off either. as long as it’s EA Sports + Frostbite you know exactly what you will be getting.
you have to control defenders or they do restarted shit constantly
Then even if you control them
the computer will gift the other player TDs online too
It took me 600 games to get a natty online…in upperclassman lol. Once you get higher you run into unrealistic spammers that run 2 plays and score every possession, tough to even make playoffs
of course playing Ohio state 4 times in the regular season and twice in the playoffs

Just tuned in, fucking heartbreaking about Hali. Hopefully they can pull a rabbit out of their ass.
Don’t worry they will show the replay of him going down and slapping the floor another 60 times the rest of the game.

settle it like men..paper rock scissors best out of 3
They should take turns shooting for it like pickup ball. Like possession arrow in college but you gotta shoot a three and make it to get the ball or it goes to the other team.
