Hey all,

My friend and I play our dynasties vs one another.

He controls ND and I, Nebraska and we both try to mess up each others teams each season and get the other coach fired.

Scoring on the game even on heisman level seems to be very easy but stopping a smart human player on defense is very tough.

One year I got to play w/Fla St vs Chris and they had all 90+ defensive players yet still they could not stop the offense.

What it comes down to is this I think...if you run a hurry up offense and mix up the plays in the same formation you can really take advantage of the defenses weakness.

Forgive the lengthy post but I will list an example.

As Nebraska I use all Maryland I for my audibles because it doesnt give away which side the play may go to to a human player.

I come to the line for the 1st play w/my tightends jetting to the end zone my back going left and my other back going right. If I see one of the LB's blitzing and will be out of position I hit that receiver quickly for a minimum of 5 yds.

If the LB's and Safeties decide to cover this then I will just run up the middle for a minimum of 4 yds. This will work against even teams that have def tackles of 95 ranking if you have a good line if you have a quick back who and can hit the hole fast.

If the human opponent keeps the linebackers in position to cover the receivers and tries to bring the safeties up to stuff the middle run then you can audible into an option and take it laterally for a nice gain.

I know this must be how teams that face Nebraska,Fla,Fla St,etc muct be feeling in the film room in real life but on this game I would love to find some strong defenses that cover pretty much everything equally.

A defense that would stuff the middle, contain the outsides,stop the out routes and double the deep receiver seems impossible but that is what it will take to stop a good human player I believe.

Also the above example is just one. There are many formations that will not give away the play and you can just do an at the line read of the defenses weakness and exploit it.

I think the biggest problem is the failure of corners to cover out patterns. My corners are all 99's and still if the ball is thrown at the perfect instant when the receiver turns off to the side the ball will get in there.

Thank you, Michael

I had the same problem with the game getting scratched. Not only this game but, Triple Play baseball and Tiger Woods golf. I figured it was only EA sports game but then a friend of mine had Resident Evil ruined. This is a defect in the PS.. Just call playstation and they will send you a new one. and if u complain enough, they will send you a FREE GAME : ).. (Thanks PS2 for the FREE GT3!!)
