SIM COMPLETE - Week 1

[Guest]

Nice, my stud RB had 200 yards rushing, 51 yards receiving, 35 punt return yards, and 66 kick return yards... and a win.

352 yards from scrimmage --- you are setting a high standard !

Questionable play calling by my OC when compared to my game plan...

Maybe he was scared that Courtney Henson was going to tackle him too... considering he was in on every other play. :D

My team, pretty much, ran the exact gameplan that I had in mind. I think it's a lot easier when you're in the lead. I think (and maybe the FOF Vets out there can tell us) that the situational settings for the score conditions pretty much override the bulk of your gameplan.

Anyway, good game, Diesel. It was refreshing to simply make your team cry instead of you.

It depends. If you leave it at the default settings, then yes, the modifiers are going to have a huge effect. For example, most default gameplans will increase running by 50 or 70% if you have a significant lead and will significantly increase your long passing if you are behind. Personally, I usually tone down the modifers that the default button usually offers.

That's what I assumed. I didn't dive into them until I had the Preseason game where I got behind and threw like 40 times in the 2nd half. I think I have the blend I want now. Still needs some fine-tuning... but closer.

[Dave]

WOOT!
Waco was down earily 12-0 and Camden was moving the ball with ease. I believe at the half, Camdens QB was 20/23 for like 200+ yards .

Very happy with the win since it looks like we were going to get killed the for a bit.

Good game, Dookie. I didn't cash in on a few early scoring opportunities, I couldn't stop your team on 3rd down for most of the game, and I got away from my gameplan a little once you took a lead in the 2nd half.

The killer was the fumble on the punt return though. I finally get a stop on defense, I'm getting the ball back down 6 with 7 minutes left, and my punt returner fumbles on his own 34. FG, two possession game. Ugly.

[Brandon]

Yeah, that fumble was HUGE!

[Cotton]

Well, I predicted a 9-3 win for Phoenix and we win 10-3 to go up unbeaten in the Division. Now, that's probably going to be the only time I can say that, but it is gratifying to win the home opener.

Good game Cotton.

LOL! Nice call. One point off.

The Bees are on a three year plan. They're just too green to be consistant, so I don't expect much. I was way too conservative in this one.

Ya, my gameplan really went in the other direction after I was down early. Oh well, only the first week.

Good game to you too Clay.

Lake County wins 16-12... No idea how, Ohio Valley at one point, was averaging 11 yards a carry in the first half. He didn't run the ball at all in the 2nd half.

My offense is still horrible, 10 points came off turnovers, an INT in his territory and a fumble return for a TD, but a win is a win, and I'll take it.

Just brutal. My starting back averaged 11 yards a carry in the first half on 11 carries, and he runs the ball twice in the second half??

Also, I'm still trying to figure out why my defense "aggressively expected" the pass 7 times in a row when you were trying to run out the clock with under 3 minutes left.

I'm still trying to figure out where my kicker came from..he boomed a 54 yarder to basically put the game away. I was shocked, 54yds!?

Yeah seriously, I was shocked as I remembered your earlier posts about not kicking unless you're within 40 yards.

I'm just happy we finally attempted a FG from the 32 since every time during preseason, we would put even after I made the change in miscellaneous settings.

...and the domination begins in Los Alamos!

Good game Kalispel. I'm sorry you had to be the first victim of our "Lull 'em to sleep" offense.

The Aces will try and run him into the ground a few times this week when you come to town.. Gonna be tough to start 2-0, but if opporunity knocks, we seem to take good advantage.

Best of luck coming to "The Hangar".
