TheMaximumHornetSting Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Im off from work today and tomorrow So I decided to boot up NCAA 14 and play... Now my coaching career has been with Ohio state for 10 seasons (In game) won 7 National titles. So I decided to start a new playthrough... In coaching mode but I wont be coaching Ohio state.... And Im doing it on the hardest difficulty... Heisman Legend difficulty... and its living up to its name... I picked up Miami and put em in the SEC with FSU,GT and Clemson And well it didn't go well... After watching Nick Saban's Alabama gun it up the middle on my piss poor Defense for 656 yards in conference opening play I decided to abandon this and start over with someone else but IDK who? So y'all pick @ChimpGrip @steeler01 @Frosty4024 @Cossacks @Bodysurf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So y'all pick @ChimpGrip @steeler01 @Frosty4024 @Cossacks @Bodysurf I used to do every hypothetical match you could think of on NCAA 14 2008 LT vs any HS team 2011 Alabama vs any college team I think my best (most entertaining games) were: 2008 LT vs 2013 Cedar Hill (LT went 1-1; scores of 35-28 L and 40-14 W) 2008 LT vs 2013 Southlake Carroll (51-48 W) 2008 LT vs 2013 Allen (LT went 1-1; scores of 66-40 L and 38-35 W) On the 38-35 game, Allen QB Kyler Murray made a deep pass and the LT DB made a shoelace tackle that would have been a long TD reception otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 So @Frosty4024 @Bodysurf @golfaddict1 @steeler01 @FreeBird @ChimpGrip @nptb17 @HooverOutlaw I managed to complete 3 seasons with UCLA before going back to work... Man... The Heisman Legend difficulty is actually Hard as F U C K... Then UCLA lacks depth... so 1st season: Vs. South Carolina W 38-17 Vs. Utah State W- 41-0 @ Alabama W 17-14 Now this is where shit goes down hill... I amassed 5 Defensive line injuries in this game Vs. Oregon L 44-21 3 more defensive injuries @ Washington State W 14-10 @ Utah W 10-0 @ Washington L 0-24 My defensive scheming with backups was atrocious.... then my backups got injured... Vs. Boise State (I added them to the Pac-12) W 21-17 Vs. Cal W 3-0 @ Oregon State W 7-3 Vs. Arizona state W 7-0 Vs. USC L 0-41 I got absolutely cooked on the Defensive side of the ball because I had to use some Oline players to fill in the gap defensively as well... Pac-12 championship game was USC vs Boise State who for whatever reason went on a tear in their division after losing to me... USC won 35-31 Got a Bowl game against Notre Dame and Won 14-13 The playoffs where 1. West Virginia 2. USC 3. Indiana (I know... thisgames on crack) 4. Alabama Alabama beat WV 21-0 USC beat Indiana 44-27 USC beat Alabama in the National title game 27-24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 2nd season was: @ #17 Indiana W 20-0 @ #3 West Virginia W 13-10 Vs. #2 Alabama L 30-27 Vs. Fresno State W 33-20 (moved them to the Pac-12 as well) Vs. San Diego State W 28-0 (Moved them to the Pac-12 as well) @ #9 Boise State W 27-23 @ Oregon State W 37-17 @ Stanford W 21-10 Vs. #5 Washington W 10-7 OT Vs. Washington State W 10-3 Vs. Arizona W 14-0 @ #1 USC W 13-10 OT Pac-12 championship UCLA 17 vs. Oregon 16 UCLA W... Oregon tried to go for 2 and it went incomplete In what would be a nightmare for the likes of some folks we got 2 Pac-12 teams in the Playoffs... 1. Alabama-Because I beat USC and Bama went undefeated... 2. UCLA-Me 3. Notre Dame- who went undefeated 4. USC Alabama got their revenge in a low scoring game 13-7 Notre Dame Wasn't playing no games and forced 4 turnovers on me... Did I bounce back? Absolutely.... NOT I lost 37-17.... NC game Alabama 33 vs Notre Dame 31 FINAL My lack of depth and extremely average recruiting classes came back to haunt me later down the road... But the 3rd season was much better.

Normally I would actually play through em... but that would take atleast a week per season. So I played through as many as I could and let the CPU take the reigns for I'd say 40% of the time... I know the CPU adapts to your playstyle... and Im slowly starting to learn I'm more Offensive minded than Defense... and when the CPU took over it showed that... Because when I played I could score and occasionally get bullied by heisman legends cracked out Difficulty spike... And the CPU on autopilot tried to mimmick me... which is why my 1st season USC game was such a fucking blunder.... combined with the massive amount of injuries.... I never skim through unless Im observing another teams seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 But its interesting watching what happens outside of your controlled team as well... For example... My 3rd UCLA season-2017 Alabama finished 4th overall in the SEC with losses to Auburn 13-21, Miami 17-21 and Ole Miss 7-14... @HooverOutlaw would not be happy... Auburn won the SEC over Miami I put Miami,FSU,Clemson,GT and Louisville in the SEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMaximumHornetSting Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 So my conference realignment: Pac-12: Cal Stanford UCLA USC Utah Washington Wazzu Boise State Fresno State San Diego State Oregon Oregon State Stanford Arizona Arizona State Now as you can imagine... this big conference required conference cycling... opponents changed each season EXCEPT for prime Rivalries (USC-UCLA,Oregon-ORST,ETC). My SEC realignment: Georgia Georgia Tech Florida FSU Miami Tennessee South Carolina Clemson Kentucky Louisville Alabama Auburn Ole Miss LSU MSST Dandy Vandy Big 12 realignment: I gave Mizzou,Arkansas,Colorado and TAMU back to the Big 12 and moved Iowa State to the Big 10. Texas Houston TAMU Texas Tech OKST Oklahoma Mizzou Kansas Kansas State Colorado TCU Baylor Arkansas BYU Big Ten: Ohio State Bichigan Bichigan Jr Indiana Iowa Iowa State Purdue Notre Dame Illinois Northwestern Syracuse PSU Nebraska Minnesota Wisconsin Pittsburgh ACC: Rutgers Maryland Virginia VT UNC Duke Wake Forest East Carolina NC State West Virginia SMU Tulane Boston College Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
