No its not just you. I was on the Tech board tonight & everyone is complaining about the same thing.

I give up... I am about to through this game off of a bridge. This is the wrost "playing" football game I have ever played. After 10 games I am 29% completion percentage. I have tried EVERYTHING and nothing works. This sucks eggs!

I haven't started a dynasty yet but I am having a lot of success running the ball.

In my 2nd season on the All-American Level I started the season 0-3. I was feeling the same frustrations as bigearl.

Well last night I started my comeback. I brought in Sniewski & I also started mixing up run & pass. I have come to the conclusion if that you can run the ball somewhat the passing game will follow.

Bigearl .. my passing went from around 10%-15% to right around 50%. The receivers are still only catching the ball 1/2 of the time but they are catching it when it counts. So dont give up .. just try another strategy. It might be strategy 100 or 200 but keep after it.

It's the dropped passes. How is it that Sampy consistantly drops wide open screen passes? I'd love to see what would happen if he did that in real life!!!!!!!!!

This game blows!

Question 1: Is it possible for the ps2roster guys to have the wrong settings for a player?

Question 2: I haven't played enough to know, but with all the yearly game tweaks, is it possible EA wants you to push a button to try and catch it yourself.

I took ps2roster guys rosters and made adjustments of my own. I think we all agree that our team (for one) is grossly uderrated. I also have tried controling the reciever and making the catches myself, no luck. I'm at a loss for what to do. I think I am going to pick another team (a better one) to see if I have the same results. But its not like I'm playing LSU or anything, La. Tech lit me up last night. Northwestern gave me a game. I CANNOT COMPLETE PASSES. That should not be the case game in and game out no matter who your team is (unless its the Aints) and no matter who you are playing.

bigearl, do you play on normal mode or quick mode for passing?

[waterboy]

Second season of dynasty mode, 50% copmletion rate for Babb, 11-0, my discipline is c, but I am winning. Run the ball and only throw when you have to.

I too can get very frustrated. I mean passes hitting players in the numbers drop the dang ball. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is not control them at all. just hike the ball, the computer will control the QB. If the computer sees an open guy before you do, it will pass for you. I seem to catch a few more times. (Although Im not actually doing anthing) which is not really considered "playing the game". You can always take control if you see a better opportunity (ie. keep it and run)
