Game too easy...

Post by rosyboa »

I created a PAC-10 League and threw in Michigan for a 10 game season.

I let the computer do the draft and training of all teams.

I let the computer simulate all games except for Washington and its oppenents.

Here's the problem:

I play as coach for the Huskies and win all games by a huge margin (59 to 10).

I've tried changing playbooks to no avail... a run around the right end almost always results in a touchdown.

My question is: How do you make the computer opponent more challenging without having to micro manage each team?

I like to win... no doubt. I would like to win in a close game though.

Thanks for any input.

You might have the wrong defensive playbooks.&nbsp; Most of the playbooks were designed with LBs and safeties too close to the line.&nbsp; Because of interferences and pursuit angles, the defense has a hard time defending the edges.&nbsp; Try my conservative 43 Defense on FBMax.&nbsp; I dropped the MLB back around 5 yards off the line and safety beyond 7 yards.

Deft is correct. You definately have to move beyond the default playbooks.

This game can be both too easy and too hard.&nbsp; It's up to you.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are plays that work all of the time.&nbsp; There are plays that hardly ever work.&nbsp; When playing the computer only, you need to take away the plays that always work for you.&nbsp; You need to find and give the computer all of the best plays.&nbsp; A lot also has to do with the computers profile.
