Ok, is my defense this good, or is something wrong?

[BuckeyesTHEGAME]

So last season I had the top defense in the country with OSU. I gave up about 56 yards rushing, 215 yards passing, and 13 PPG which actually isn't too far below their 2003 average (62/235/17). I ended up finishing 10-2 (I lost to NC State and, uh, Michigan 16-13 and 25-20, respectively) and beat Florida State in the Rose Bowl.

In the offseason, I only lost two starters on defense (DE/CB) and now my defense is an A+ rating. My top five linebackers are God-like.

A.J. Hawk: 99
Anthony Schlegel: 95
Bobby Carpenter: 93
Mike D'Andrea: 92
Marcus Freeman (true Soph.): 91

Add to that my 91 DT (Pitcock), my 89 and 86 DE's (Arden and Richardson), a 91 safety (Salley), and an 89 CB (Underwood) and you have a pretty damned good defense.

How good?

Here are my first three games (using the same sliders I used in the first season of my dynasty):

vs. Miami, OH
49-0
(Miami: 136 yards total offense)

vs. Texas
33-0
(Texas: 159 yards total offense... RB #3 was injured so I keyed on Young all game.)

vs. S.D. State
51-0
(S.D. State: 108 yards total offense... Lynell Hamilton was injured so they had nothing.)

I can't believe how damned good they are. My defensive sliders are almost completely turned down to zero. Here they are (from zero):

awareness: 2
knockdowns: 1
interceptions: 8
break block: 2
tackle: 5

Along with that, none of the CPU's offensive sliders are below 16.

This is the greatest defense EVER.

What level are you playing at- Heisman?

I am dissapointed at how the computer can't stop the run with tackling, break block, etc. turned all the way up on AA, It is still somewhat of a challenge passing. Every game I play the computer, they still run like 20 tosses a play, and hardly any option, counter,etc.... With all the option in the playbooks this year you would think the computer would run it more. Even the pro form has a lot of option in it.

yeah i dont get it either, the computer runs the most terrible running plays in the game

i rarely even see the computer do a dive up the middle, almost always a toss play to the outside for a loss.
