Maybe it is just me, but in every game I've played, the tackling is just weak. Is there a trick to the new tackling system I missed out on? I just played as FSU vs. Bama and I had about 8 missed tackles and they put a good 200 yards rushing on me... IN 2 MINUTE QUARTERS!?!? I could get right on the guy and mashing the tackle button doesn't do anymore than get you knocked away by the runner. I know it's Bama and all, but sheesh.

Was it an attempt to chew the clock?

his ball carrier vision and pursuit rating is probably bad

the good thing is RB logic is really easy to fix in NCAA via ratings if EA doesn't do it on their own

But no College Football player is that inept when it comes to field vision unless he is blind or is running staring straight down at his feet. The seas parted and all he had to do was just keep running forward.

Wow you kind of bad at tackling. Keep playing more and you will get the hang of it. Even on heisman I held Alabama under 100 yards rushing.

He could be trying to waste time

But what makes no sense is my guys are right on top of them, and then it just won't finish the tackle. As far as I know, it should be as simple as using the tackle button when you are on top of the guy, but it's either never finished or a broken tackle.

SO i decided to punt every time I got the ball on 1st down just to see them have more plays ( i didn't take any offensive snaps). Saw the Oregon QB scramble once in each game. Crushed all but one of their option plays with ease. QB seemed to think he had 10 seconds in the pocket and payed with getting sacked a lot. Same problem as in past with screens , CPU/AI will call the HB screen then not pass to him and get sacked or try to throw to a WR downfield when there is no pocket to step up in. Only success they really had was in normal running plays. First game was 10-0 to Oregon the second was 16-0 to Texas (me) blocked a punt out the endzone for 2 pts when i had them pegged at the 1yd line , and returned two fumbles. Now some of the above things can hopefully be fixed with sliders and patch. BUT here's the kicker. I only played defense like i said but never took control of any player just called the formation and play, like a D coordinator. But I only ever called the same play in every formation 2 under man. If i can destroy the CPU/AI just calling the same play wrecking their option run game how does this bode for the final game. I scored 16 pts in one game without even taking 1 offensive snap, how can that be ? So if i can crush a team calling just one play it will be easy being a defensive coordinator. Not impressed..

Did the same thing again in a third game as Texas vs Oregon and it finished 0-0 didn't play OT as i thought it pointless. So in 3 games or 24 minutes Oregon only scored 10 pts against me calling the same play for all 3 games.

Explain this to me EA ?

That is the only reason I could see it happening, but I doubt EA would be as smart to program the CPU to do something like that.
