    Can't stop squat!

    I play on 360... as Arkansas (B+ rated defense) in dynasty...

    I've played about 6 games vs. CPU, five of them on Varsity and one on All-American. AA was so hard I thought I was playing on Heisman. I've always played AA from the get-go on previous versions, but not on 08.

    That said, I haven't stopped anyone I've played. The ONLY way I've stopped 'em is by interception or fumble and that is nothing I did -- it was my CPU controlled player making the pick or gathering the fumble. In six games I've probably forced MAYBE 6 punts.

    Mostly teams are passing like a hot knife through butter... I try to match their receivers -- if they go 3 wide, I counter with nickle or dime, 4 or 5 wide and I go with dime. I tried using a lot of zone, which worked too well on 07, but the QBs picked it apart. Now I start with 2 deep man and mix in zone blitzes.

    My last game Kentucky was running a lot out of 3 and 4 wide sets and was chipping off 7-10 yards per run. I went to the 4-3 and played lots of zone blitzes. I only got one sack and I only gave up 14 points, but they moved at will and I felt helpless and bored.

    I wish I could help. I was getting pretty good with 07 ranked in the top 400 and I had just beaten two top 10 players and a few other top 100 players. Now this comes out and I am getting my butt kicked by everybody. I'll start beating people online and then I'll throw two interceptions. The DE in this game is on steroids. I still dont know if I like it or not. It pisses me off I'll throw to a wide open WR and the CB who is 5 yards away will intercept. I am going into practice mode to work on my timing. what pisses me off the most is that you may have three seconds to throw the ball even without a blitz coming because the 4 down Lineman blow up my OL.

    Same. One 07 PS2 I was in the top 100 and my defense was impregnable. Now I have no idea how to stop anything. These 360 controls are screwing my game up big time.

    This NCAA is definitely the best. I'm on 360 too.

    Stopping the cpu on Heisman is easy. Just mix fast zone and man blitzes up - then back off every now
    and then with a man or zone prevent type scheme - but hot read a blitzer - or manual him - while
    spreading the DL and crashing in - through an A Gap. I use the 425 book, but the 335 Stack works as
    well - as does the 3-4, and even the 4-3. For 4-3, try the Mike Blitz - and shift the LBs toward the TE.

    Alright I'm going to give it a shot, I get killed on AA but eveyone keeps telling me to practice on heisman if I want to get good. I guess I'll either get good, break a controller, or sell my game back. If I'm lucky I'll be able to smoke some crack and say "stopping the cpu on heisman is easy"

    I hope I never get the "pleasure" of playing you, it would be 100 to nothing before half time. I don't have a clue how ya'll say playing on heisman is easy.

    I just beat Michigan in their building using Kentucky on Heisman - and I'm certainly not
    the best player on these boards. Once you realize what to look for - and what to do, it
    becomes easy. Especially, remain patient. Keep your cool. The final score was 38-10.

    No doubt. They have a good RB too. He's quick. WRs pretty good too.
