Five minutes is enough for me.

I usually play 8 minute quarters. I also mess with the sliders to make it more realistic, and sometimes I will change difficulty levels based on the opponent. I usually ramp up the computer's run stopping ability, and lower their interceptions.

8 min. usually allows me to pull in the stats of a typical college game.

Oh and I forgot. I looked into dynasty last night and noticed that there is a stat ticker when recruiting for the player. I thought that was pretty cool because you can compare that 4 star and 3 star players for example and really see if its worth fighting for that extra star!

I liked that too. Before, you only had combine stats to go off of. It was nice to be able to see that high school stats were simulated as well.

Usually, for me, I play on 6-minute quarters with heavily tweaked sliders on All-American. I played in Heisman for awhile last year with modified sliders to bring down the comp's difficulty just a hair, but that resulted in too many multi-tipped interceptions from the comp.

I've been having problems running the ball this year, so I don't know if it's the OL in the game or EA toning down the running game. I have found that running Scales or Bass to the outside and outrunning the defenders is money, though.

Blythe has dropped quite a few passes for me. I didnt even complete a pass with Bret on All-American against Kent State.

Couple things I noticed on the game last night.

1.) Rashawn Parker is at DT, and one of the Frere borthers was at DE. Those need switched.

2.) They have Bret Culbertson in as a Junior and he is a Senior.

3.) Allen Bell is in the game but is the worst CB that they have with some odd number. But I believe the height, weight and state locations were correct. You just need to adjust the ratings.

Now i just need a good and accurate two deep to really know how to set the ratings and depth chart.

I dont know who Chris Brown is but I already have 5 picks with him in only 5 games so far.

J.J. is a bit lower than he probably should be. For a four star JUCO, I have a hard time believing he's only a 76 overall? I bumped his ratings up just a tad to make him an 80.

I just created an EA account last night for the PS2, so if anyone has the same version, my username is CyWalke (AirWalke was taken...?). I've only got a 1-2 record, but I played a neck-and-neck game against a Crimson Tide fan that, after the game had been decided, took the liberty of running up the score on me, winning something like 54-26.

The PS2 version is free online play? Hmm, I might have to look for a used fatty, in that case.

Free for a year, until NCAA 09 comes out. The lag isn't bad, especially through the dorm's hi-speed internet access.

Thats funny because it reminds me of last year. I had a dynasty going and end up getting Chris Brown as an All-American. I ran into him last year and media day and told him about it and get got a chuckle. I told hiim i got high expectations for him now. LOL!

I noticed that on Bell too. How the heck do you adjust the ratings? I'm on the 360 version, and I haven't figured that out yet. Rashawn's overall score drops when you put him back to DE too.

Does anyone want to put in their ratings for Bass and Bell that they used when they bumped them up?

Also, I moved Jason Harris from SS to running back, and he's tied with Scales as the best running back on the team. He's #22, obviously, at SS when you start, but the ratings are basically for a running back, including a 40 for tackling.
