So...why haven't you changed your depth chart pre game?
8/27/2011 7:05:35 PM
I have and King was like 4th in the return award voting but I just decided that I didn't want my main wr returning kicks anymore before the game and pausing for 20 secs has never ever been a big deal in my 6 years of online play. Then of course my hb sanders got hurt for 2 weeks on the first kickoff so i had to do it all again right after.
8/27/2011 7:10:49 PM
so, after 11 games you come to this epiphany? makes sense to me...
8/27/2011 7:12:56 PM
Well I play my casual games with kentucky as well and I recently had a game where king got injured on a return and then I was left with a 73 wr and a bunch in the 60s. They are both similar in speed and I had been debating it with my coordinators for a while because if king gets hurt it cripples the passing game but if sanders gets hurt it cripples the running game. We came to the conclusion that the passing game is more important.

8/27/2011 8:48:59 PM
Yeah I dunno what changes you made but you did something cause you took up all pause time. I don't really care but everyone else doesn't move CPU players into certain positions. Maybe you're too advanced for our casual style of play.
8/27/2011 8:59:53 PM
Word, I'll fire up the system.Give me 20 mins for my dump, my dog's dump, my dog's dinner in his bowl, and something else entirely in mine.
8/27/2011 9:19:34 PM
You say something different every post. The player I'm moving is the player I'm using for manual coverage. I use the SS most of the game unless its an extreme short yardage or long yardage situation then I use someone else. The only time I might move a cpu player is when I get the fault in the game where a guy will randomly take off running across the field after the huddle. Soemtiemes I will scramble to grab the guy and put him back where he belongs but usually its too late and I jsut ignore it. Could it possibly be that you are mistaking this guy taking off running across the field as me moving him?[Edited on August 27, 2011 at 9:31 PM. Reason : only remember that happening once against you]
8/27/2011 9:30:34 PM
Maybe im missing something, but whats the issue?Ive moved around my safeties, and my LBs before...I also love it when people take control of DBs, I have a way better chance of throwing TDs that way...most of you guys play with DEs and LBs. I lost to E Man 28-14 because of idiot mistakes on my part, not because he cheated. Im actually pretty sure I scored my TDs off players he was controlling.I also try and strip balls every game, and it works.I just dont see the reasoning behind riding E Man's nuts.
8/27/2011 9:52:08 PM
You weren't moving them around so much as you were using the safety to rush the line. I told ya, i don't care, it's coolYou've yet to address that you run 3 passing plays
8/27/2011 10:09:46 PM

A nailbiter in a blizzard in DC as WVU continues its undefeated march with a 31-28 win on last second FG over NC State. They took an early 21-7 lead on a pick 6, but weren't able to hold it as Mustafa Green and Stephen Howard each had two scoring catches for the Wolfpack. The Mountaineers struck back on a long TD pass to Steadman Bailey, but State answered with another strike to Howard on literally the worst blown coverage I've ever seen. I stacked the box on 4th and 1 and let one reciever open by 20 yards. Fucking idiot. WVU gets the ball with under a minute left and marched down the field aided mainly by the runnning of QB Geno Smith, who took off three straight times for nearly 50 yards to get the team in position for a FG at the buzzer, which barely made it over the bar on the super slow mo freeze cam.Just wanted to make sure you knew I wasn't recklessly scrambling at the end. I chilled in the pocket for a few seconds, saw no one was open and the middle of the field was wide open, so I put the 88 speed to good use. Would rather have passed for it but my guys got no separation. Also, my option score was BS...game needs to regulation suction better.Overall, great game tho. Hopefully I don't get squeezed out of the title game.[Edited on August 27, 2011 at 10:53 PM. Reason : and I knew you knew I was running that fake lol...time out gave it away]
8/27/2011 10:53:02 PM
Nah, I had no problem with it... It obviously wasn't your first thought and you didn't do it at all until then. Just pissed that I couldn't stop it, even while spying. Yeah, when you pitched that option I was thinking that a few years ago the back would leave the QB after 5 yds or so... Oh well, I can handle a loss like that b/c both of us played really well.LOL on that 4th down strike to Howard I pulled back (it was a pass play the entire time) and saw nobody lined up on him. The thought did cross my mind that some linebacker might somehow jump and swat that shit.Good luck getting into the NC, represent the BE well. Hopefully we can get season 2 in and have a rematch. Oh well, Champs sports bowl it is I guess (unless we changed the tie-ins).

TWC will be here between 12-6I'll possibly be fit to shit this eveningre: the dismissal of our esteemed colleague, E. Man: despite my complaints after our two scrimmages, his play style isn't that outrageous. He's an MLG pro tryhard, so he doesn't really fit in with the rest of the league, but he not cheating, per se, just taking advantage of a lot of little exploits. I prefer straight-up football, jaybee-style, without the gimmicky crap you get in random matches, but whatever, it's a video game. I wouldn't want him booted for his play style, but his general troll douchebaggery all over the thread is enough to get rid of him. Maybe if he drops out of his mambagirl character we can all get along better.]

8/28/2011 5:01:17 PM
I'm ready. just let me know what the " gimmicky little exploits" are. I've been playing xbl sports games with a group of gamers since 04 that pride ourselves on sim play and avoiding lobby games. I would never knowingly use an exploit and only even know of 2 in this game. Diving and squibbing. I don't even use no-huddle. As for the trashtalk, I had no idea anyone would be offended by me spicing things up with game reviews, interviews, and upping the ante with bragging. Other than that there is nobody talking at all in here so it would be pretty dead.[Edited on August 28, 2011 at 5:17 PM. Reason : k]

So E Man's latest trick is to pick a set that tells me he's coming out with 3 WR, but he lines up five-wideBeen doing it all game
8/28/2011 6:24:49 PM
41-35 E ManEvery point he scored except the ones set up by interceptions were full of bullshitKick him out now. He doesn't deserve a bowl.
8/28/2011 6:59:36 PM
tes don't count as wrs. bunch quads formationI asked you before the game to tell me the things you had a problem with and you said nothing. im really curious to hear what you think is bullshit aboutanything. you gave up big plays where you went for the int. there were a few plays where your corner just stayed near the los and my wr went wide open. [Edited on August 28, 2011 at 7:06 PM. Reason : hard to win with 3 turnovers to 0. thats my analysis. other than that you outplayed me]
8/28/2011 7:01:02 PM
I had no chance on defense, there were two routes on the bunch quads play (3 WR, but five-wide) you ran 20 times that were unstoppable. The lone wideout on the comeback beat every zone, the the wide slant or post beat every man, every double team. And you ran that shit into the ground.And speaking of running! Every between-the-tackles run was reversed outside. Stopped it for the most part, but there a few decent runs that saved drives with that shit.That last TD you scored, the one where my DB just stood behind your receiver, it told me you were coming out with two WRs! You came out with five! What the fuck am I supposed to do there?I played a straight game, made one really bad mistake (the opening int.), one sort-of mistake (the last int.) and hung 35 on you. You had to pull a metric fuckton of bullshit to win.Congratulations, you are the video game master.[Edited on August 28, 2011 at 7:08 PM. Reason : E Man plays with a game genie!][Edited on August 28, 2011 at 7:08 PM. Reason : I never went for the pick. It's just impossible to tackle one on one in this game.]]
8/28/2011 7:07:32 PM
I'm uploading that opening kickoff TDGreg Reid is my homie
8/28/2011 7:13:32 PM
you can see how many WRs they are coming out with? wtf?
8/28/2011 7:17:51 PM
If you wait for them to choose a play before you do.
8/28/2011 7:18:58 PM
It tells you their package. X QB, X HB, X WR, etc. How do you choose defenses?Doesn't help, though, when you see 3 WR, 2 HB and it's five wide one play, then three wide with a HB in the backfield on the next.[Edited on August 28, 2011 at 7:25 PM. Reason : Bunch quads wide post play is #3 in E Man's highlights][Edited on August 28, 2011 at 7:25 PM. Reason : #1 & #4 are the same play, my DBs choose to stand behind the WR instead of making a play][Edited on August 28, 2011 at 7:26 PM. Reason : #5 wasn't a user pick. Don't let the hey now hurdle fool you.]
8/28/2011 7:19:56 PM
Theres a bit of exaggeration but I agree with that for the most part. I didn't run anything 20 times. I ran the play with the hook in bunch quads 4 times and I ran the other play probably 3 times. I ran the only pass play out of jumbo z pistol probably 5 or 6 times because i was running out of that formation and its a bad idea to only run out of certain formations (what you do). its predictable. Other than that I was picking almost every play out of 5 different formations and I ran 7 different running plays 19 times.
8/28/2011 7:28:54 PM
You ran the bunch quads play four times in a row one series. I don't switch to dbs unless they're trailing. Usually when I do it looks like the big TD in your highlights where I just run right by you. Tackling is shit in this game. Not to mention player switching still sucks. Half the time I switch to someone I'm not expecting.I ran two bootlegs. I remember because it was the same play-action play and it's the only one I run. The Donovan McNabb run around like a crazy dude was one of them. I started bootlegging, ready to hit a crossing receiver and there was a lineman coming right at me. As soon as I changed directions, the icons disappeared so I really didn't have much choice but to keep going.I usually hit the out or slant every time, but I didn't hit any this game. You fucking intercepted two of them. The slant across the middle is unstoppable and I'll run it on 3rd and 6 until I die.I didn't see your request for me to list my displeasure with your playing style. I would think the rather long involved discussion we've had after our previous matches would satisfy that.I'm not frustrated and it wasn't that hard-fought. Neither of could do anything on defense. I punted once. Your big defensive plays were all CPU. No user picks.Your dropping an extra man into punt coverage is a little suspect, too. I think I only punted once, but I was prepared to line drive it 60 yards the next time.Okay, we're done here. Kick him out now.[Edited on August 28, 2011 at 7:40 PM. Reason : 90% bootlegs? I'm the one being irrational? Literally two bootlegs all game.][Edited on August 28, 2011 at 7:41 PM. Reason : I don't even leave the pocket. Usually don't even move the QB at all.]]
8/28/2011 7:39:30 PM
Wait. Preplay the screen said 3wr and 2hb, but then he came out in 5 wide? That means he was changing the depth chart to have the fourth and fifth wrs (normally pretty low ranks) to his top two hbs. That is bullshit.[Edited on August 28, 2011 at 7:47 PM. Reason : Autocorrect]
8/28/2011 7:46:12 PM
Yeah, almost every play of the game was five-wide but I was told 2 or 3 WR. The last TD in his highlights was 2 WR preplay, came out five-wide on the eight. I'm in a 4-4 and can't do shit.

8/28/2011 7:56:08 PM
I ran alot more than 2 plays but lets say that was all I ran all game. Wouldn't you have known what I was running? Thats the hole in your story. If every play of the game said 3wr and ended up being 5wr, how long until you would have caught on?Also I had no idea what it was saying but it probably said 3 wrs 1hb 1te because that was who was on the field. No coach can determine how guys will lineup based on who on the field and thompson lines up wide quite often for you but that doesn't change the type of personnel I want guarding him. Treetwista game where I only ran the whole game was the only game of ncaa 12 ever where I did not use the bunch quads at all. Last few times I played you ernie you blitzed the shit out of it and didn't say anything about it because i wasn't completing anything from it There is no need to lie about this. Everyone is already on your side regardless. It doesn't matter what you say your friends will still defend you and pitchfork me like its been from day 1. You act as if heynow is actually going to look over all the information with due process before kicking me out but thats not the case. Guatarguys frustration was all it took. So there is no need to lie at all at this point.[Edited on August 28, 2011 at 8:09 PM. Reason : typically when somethings going wrong, i should find out before the game is over]
8/28/2011 8:04:34 PM
3 WR, 2 HB or 2 WR 2 HB 1 TEEvery playI ran everything I could at you. As I said at the very beginning of this pointless discussion, the one play you ran from bunch quads had one route that was unstoppable against man coverage (at least for dudes like me who don't spend all their free time trying learn the intricacies of user picks) and one that was unstoppable against zone. I gave all kinds of looks in all kinds of sets, and stopped you a good deal. But every time I got you into third and long it was money play time and there was nothing I could do.Find a play in my playbook or a sub in my formations where Thompson is not in the backfield. Tell me a time when I put anyone (anyone) in motion. I don't have to rig my shit to win like you do.Last post: you're a good player who relies on bullshit to win. It's a shame that your wins come cheap. You're everything that sucks about this game, you play like a 15 year-old cunt. I hope you rot in e-hell.[Edited on August 28, 2011 at 8:11 PM.

8/28/2011 8:10:57 PM
So I guess me running pistol several times, acewr several times ace big several times, spread flex several times, 4wr 1hb several times and 5wide several times was just a figment of my imagination along with the other 4 plays i ran out of bunch quads.
8/28/2011 8:29:58 PM

I too had a problem with the 3WR, 2RB formation that came out 5 wide... kind of impossible to pick a good Defense when you don't know if it is actual 3 wide or 5 wide... Didn't say anything at the time, but I thought it was crap.With all the [quotes] you two are turning this into The Soap Box... Never had this problem before this year.

Herbstriet: Confirmed sources tell me this is a forced resignation ahead of a fire and a move by the University to separate themselves from coach e man as much as possible before the NCAA comes down hard. Kentucky is doing everything they can to avoid the death penalty since allegations that the coach E man is running a sleeper terrorist cell for al quaeda within his program as well as allegations that a natural te and natural hb played an entire season at wr which is another severe violation.

Just lost for the first time in over a month. 42-28. Got two curls picked off in the endzone and one went for 105 yard td at the end. Went 0/5 on 3rd downs and 3/6 in the redzone so obviously my "money plays" are in pesos or something because I couldn't complete shit. He did what not many people do and thats disguise his run by running out of the same shotgun he passed out of. I wasn't able to predict what he was doing so he moved the ball all game.
