dasox24 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 create-a-player seems decent to me, can't really answer your question because i don't think I ever used it last year. thanks And w/ a dial-up, your gameplay probably will be pretty choppy/laggy..... damn, that sux...

DBAHO Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hope all u guys are enjoying the game at the moment, sounds pretty sweet. I can't wait to get it, hook my PS2 up downstairs with the Dolby Surround Sound system I got, and hear some big time crowd noise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hey - SnB - is it just me or does the game seem really, really slow? I can barely outrun the linemen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hey - SnB - is it just me or does the game seem really, really slow? I can barely outrun the linemen... hmm....not for me. I've had a few really big runs, where I just outran everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 What team are you? My problem is probably because I'm Northwestern, Noah Herron isn't really a fast back. Only 86 speed. EDIT: One more question, SnB. Have you figured out the celebrations yet>? It says that R2+Square will do a player celebration, yet every time I do it, it cuts to the fans. I am mucho confused..

Confederate_48 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Shouldnt 86 speed still outrun linemen ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Shouldnt 86 speed still outrun linemen ?? Yeah I was a bit overexaggerating, sorry about that. I think I've found my offense. It took four games but I found it. I just had a drive that felt so f***ing good. 11 plays, 58 yards. Nice and slow. I ran it down their throats. The option and the draw are working for me... yes yes yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am mucho confused.. i've been michigan/illinois so far and both had pretty fast backs. And for celebrations, I think I've figured it out. You either hold L2 or R2 AND O/triangle/square. (L2-mild celebrations, R2-extreme celebrations) I'm not sure the specifics, but each button is either for fans/players/mascots.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I was gonna get the game sunday Me too. That's when I get my next paycheck, so I was gonna wait, but w/ all this talk of it, I don't know if I can take it anymore. I guess I'll have to quit reading this thread until I get it.

But everytime I do it, I always get the fans, never the players, whether I hit square, circle, or triangle. Oh - nevermind - now I got it. Pracitce makes perfect, I guess. Anyways, take a look at the Sox schedule. Maybe we can get together for that Minny series in late July? Well, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 this game is BADASS Maryland whooped my ass 33 - 10 in my first game as K State but I started a TRUE freshman at QB and he was definatley rattled... Fumbling 4 times throwing an INT and completing a LOW number of passes... This game is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Damn this game is absolutely sick!!! My friend got it and he called me over tonight. We were IU of course, and we only played on the varsity ranking. It was sweet; we played ND in South Bend for the first game. The crowd was awesome; I loved that. It's awesome how the match sticks change throughout the game. We won that game in OT 17-14. We then played the rivalry game with Purdue at Bloomington; damn we took an ass beating there, 45-12. It also wasn't much for a crowd either; it was like crickets after playing at Notre Dame. Next, we just played a quarter in Flordia; that crowd was INSANE to the fullest. Awesome stuff. After that, we messed around with a dynasty. We simulated the first season, and went through the recruiting processes. I had a blast just running through the recruiting process. Awesome awesome game!

IlliniKrush Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Alright, i can barely see the computer screen because i just played about 6 hours of this game with 'minor' breaks like the ncca booklet says to do....haha Observations and thoughts.... Alright i have to share my first TD story. I start out with Illinois vs NW, first quarter i get to the 12, throw a pass into the endzone. Hits a NW player in the head, off another NW players hands, off ANOTHER NW players hands, and i run and press triangle to catch it at the very side of the endzone. Ridiculous. The celebrations thing is hard for me right now. I keep getting fans going nuts...which is pretty cool, but i want to do player celebrations. I can get them to work sometimes on breakaway touchdowns, and that's about it. Home field advantage is just crazy. I played in the Big House with ND and my controller just rattled all game long. And if you turn the speakers up to just a normal volume, the stadium still seems loud. Don't try calling hot routes and audibles if the crowd is up to the max, players don't know what the hell is going on. Also, another cool thing, is if you are going out of the shotgun, when you press X to snap it, the QB lifts his leg...then a second or two later the snap takes place. Usually in any game you press X and the ball is immediately snapped. Not in this case...this game is so realistic. Kicking field goals on the road is hard as hell too, the screen is shaking and your hands are trembling along with the controller. It's major pressure. I've already missed a fair share from 35+ The big hit button is cool, it can help you pass defend by knocking the ball out of their hands. If you can time it right with your safeties, it's good to use (L2). Sprinting to the ball is good to do with secondary players but with linebackers you can get burned big time if the ball carrier makes one quick move. I've had more success running the ball than passing it. I thought i read somewhere in a producer interview where running up the middle would be easier if you have a good line. This is very true. You don't have to run everything to the outside anymore if you go where the hole is supposed to be. Passing has been tough because the secondary has made a lot of late hits on the receiver. The matchup stick stuff is real nice. You can check out the oline vs dline matchup, linebackers vs backfield, or secondary vs receivers. Gives you a green for good or red for bad rating, as well as a composure rating. Guys like Brady Quinn are rattled as hell playing in Michigan and have little composure...no wonder i threw some picks with him. This game is incredibly realistic in that sense. If you have a drive to win the game, you have to go to your go to guys, or your hot guys for that game. If you go to the ratings during the game, you will notice numbers in parentheses next to guys names, depending on how they are playing. If your receiver is having a huge game, he'll have his rating and then like a +4 or whatever. On offense, you want to get guys rolling. On defense, you have to try not to let their stud guys get hot. I haven't fumbled all that much in this game thus far, it's been similar to last year. Who knows though. Just been playing exhibition games for now, but i might start a dynasty soon. Anyway, this game has lived up to the hype, IMO...at least in the short time i've played it so far. Still have a lot of experimenting to do with different teams and stadiums and the whole dynasty mode. ********************************************** Ya, Steve and Keith, we should tailgate at a game soon. That Minne series could work out. I will try to get my umping schedule squared away ASAP, but that weekend against Detroit i should be at one of those and Minne possibly both night games.

CWSGuy406 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I won't be starting my dynasty till Wendesday, when the first edition rosters come out. But I can't wait till that day. Noah Herron, in each game I've played, has ran for 100+ yards every game. I really need to stick with the running game more often, it works for me. Once I get the passing game down I'll be damn good.
