Sounds good. I got an online franchise started too that will start sometime next week when a couple more of my pals join. So far we have SMU (me), Illinois and Pittsburgh. We made it so we have to start with a 3 star team, but we might change it. Not sure yet.

Keep me updated, I'm down to join as IU. :suds:

I never play anyone online, as it usually turns into them blowing me out, or if I am actually winning the opponent always leaves or freezes.

I still trying to get the hang of recruiting, I liked the old recruiting format better with the phone calls. I think they should have kept that, but just made THAT less time consuming, I think they could have done the same concept they have in this years and applied to the old format. I don't like how you cant provide promises to recruits to get you an edge.

Cool. I'll have to send you an invite. I got a password so all the players have their real names too. Pretty cool. :suds:

The new recruiting system is lame and boring. The previous system was fine, you simply focused on who you really wanted and let the cpu handle the rest.

Played week 1 of the new franchise last night and had an awful game vs. Texas Tech. Lost 28-14. Threw 6 picks!!!!!!!! Did not break my new controller so that's a moral victory.

eh I don't know about the CPU being harder. They did a better job of the secondary, but I can still run two plays over and over and over again and be able to march down field no problem. Running is far too easy in this game along with kickoff returns.

I run out of shotgun a HB Dive and a passing play, I rotate between the two against the AI and I can seriously get 6-12 yards every carry with the Dive.

I have become wicked in the zone read. If they collapse on DATS, i m keeping with Mariota. Busted a 76 yard td run on line with the QB... NICE!

The zone read is fucking broken. I crash with my DE everytime, knowing the QB is going to keep it, run into the QB and then fall down because the game wont let you tackle him for like half a second, it's fucking fucking fucking frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also yesterday when I was playing the CPU no huddled, lined up, must have noticed there was only one second left and let the center run for a 3 yard gain without snapping the ball, this game is glitcher than the others.


GLITCHER!!!!!!

Game is already too easy. I am 40-1 as a head coach, back to back national titles. Currently 28-0 over a 2 year span. My recruiting classes have produced top 5 classes each year. Im blowing teams out in the NCG.

I hate this part, where it just becomes too easy in franchise mode. I am playing on Heisman and destroying teams. I don't want to be 5 time straight National champions, it just unrealistic.

Agree. I'm in two leagues now, a 6 man league as SMU and a 2 man league w my bro as MI to pass the time while I wait for the big league to advance. I lost to Texas Tech and Texas A&M w SMU, just won a great 21-13 games over ND tonight w MI. Playing as SMU is much more challenging.

I'm like 1-6 in online games lol all great games but I lose in the end. I'm always MI and I think I've played Texas, Oregon and OSU in all 7 gamers. Online is a bitch but it's fun being so challenging.

picked it up a week or two ago, definitely loving it. I skipped '13, much improved over '12....the new recruiting is taking some getting used to though
