Alabama: This game really sets the tone for the season. Felt like a playoff game more than the actual playoffs lol. Unfortunately, it puts every other game into perspective as being kind of lame.

This was quite intense.  I had no chance.  I wonder if I could do better now but I doubt it.

The road games in one of the top stadiums in the country are insanely difficult b/c the "stadium pulse" feature really doesn't die down unless you're whipping that a$$ as Coach Go would say. Another reason to run, run, run the ball. The play-art being scrambled and the lack of buttons over the receivers heads is not an issue when you're running a fullback dive with K'Wann Powell or a rocket toss to Kelly Joiner or Ta'ron Keith. Maybe someday we'll get a roster update and I can put Nay'Quan in that backfield. BTW, I played Tulane last night. Escaped with a 14-9 win. They held me under 200 yards rushing at 186, but we got the yards when it counted most.

I also notice that for home games at Ray J, there was still a stadium pulse with us on offense. More so than when we were on offense @ our road conference games. I definitely perceived it as a slight by the Orlando devs. ucf got ranked in the simulation. they will never forgive judy, even when it seems they've won already.

i found the triple option out of shotgun quite effective. at least on easy.

Shotgun speed option is also working if you mash the trigger for the hard pitch when they are about to tackle you.

Wow, on my second season sim, they had USF going 3-5 in conference and then ucf going 11-1 and and then beating Alabama in the semi-final. The orlando influence in this game is beyond obvious.

My 2nd year projected CFP bracket includes #5 USF, #8 Charlotte, Nebraska, UAB with a Playoff bye, and Sam Houston playing the Camecocks in the first round.  It's getting wild in year 2.  I'm hauling epic 4 stars and a couple 5 stars.

AAC is DOMINATING in my year 2 with 3 projected playoff bids.  Maybe I shouldn't move USF into the ACC, it would hurt my SOS.

I'm probably not beating Charlotte again this year.

Ugh...I just want to get home and play lol. Seeing all your results is giving me the shakes

It's my wife's birthday today though, so we've got plans this evening...it's so awful that I'm thinking more about this than going out with her.

Wife: *thought bubble* "What's he thinking about?"

Me: *thought bubble* "Should I experiment with subbing in JeyQuan Smith to A-back when I want to run a rocket toss? With that ninety eight speed, I'm sure I can break one loose at least once a game."

The generic option playbook has the Wishbone Tight formation. The power spread to the wide side of the field is insanely effective. When I have to have it, when I need a 1st it is one of my "go to" plays.
