HAs anyone played with either of these teams? They are my favorite teams but I've just started playing online and don't know if these teams could ever beat the folks playing USC, OU, or Auburn.

Also what is the best way to beat the option and those pesky QB scrambles from the shotgun. I get people running all over me with those two plays.

Thanks all and I'm glad I found this place. Hopefully I can learn something. I have a lot of reading to do.

It is really up to the way u ply ur game. I am having a great time with BC on line. I think I am like 15-2 with them. So u could use either one of them. The best way to decide is whether u have WRs over 90spd. I know NU does. But I am not sure about UAB. Unless u can take being blown out by big name teams, then stay with NU.

To stop scrambling qbs try the 3-3-5 Zone blitz. Manually control one of the safeties, and try to contain him that way. I really like the 3-3-5 Zone blitz. But once again, u have to consider the speed of ur safeties.

..I used NU a lot when I first got the game this year.....you can dominate the CPU with them and I have beat a lot of guys who play with the big name teams with NU, but I also have loss a couple along the way as well (but I don't play on-line much at all...).....their offense is fine (a pretty good recieving core, decent QB and a good HB) it's thier D that takes a little getting use to against the Big Boys...not a lot of team speed on D and that hurts against someone who wants to Bomb on you all game, but they are solid against the run....just don't get over aggressive against the passing game....learn to get manual pressure on your opponent and you can even the playing field.....like AWN said the 3-3-5 Zone Blitz is a great all around D in this years game.....

....Playing with NU is a challenge, but fun.....

....haven't played with UAB so I can't help you there, but their playbook is fun :) .....
