Yeah but then you'll have your special teamers trying to line up and cover guys.

I cant stand playing online anymore. It's so freaking annoying. The game is tied 7-7 with 2 mins left and I get the ball down to the 10 yard line, and I'm sitting on the ball to waste time, to set up a field goal and the little b*tch quits. And this is not the first time this has happened to me.

I was playing in my Superstar mode the other day and this is what happened...
I created myself as a QB and got drafted to the Minnesota Vikings. I've been pretty good so far, averaging about 210 passing yards and 2 TDs per game through the first season, eventually losing in the NFC championship game. But when we played the Ravens in Week 2 of the next season, it all went to hell. I ended the game with 174 yards, 1 TD, and 6 INTs. We lost the game 28-10.
Then the next week we're playing Chicago. I did a bit better in this game, ending with 304 yards (Peterson couldn't get anything going on the ground), 2 TDs, and 3 INTs. We won 14-3.
In Week 4 we hosted the Eagles. I end with 219 yards, 1 TD, and 4 INTs. One of the INTs was a pick 6. We lost 24-17.

I created myself as a running back. A lot more fun in my book...until I have to catch. |

Campus Legend > NFL Superstar
At the NFL Combine, I can't bench press to save my life. I finally found out how to do it correctly but still fail at it. So I end up with a horrible overall because I also can't do the 40 yard dash correctly either. Whatever, I just need to practice it more.

I can do the 40-yard dash, but I could not do the bench press thing to save my live.  |

I'm good at bench, terrible at 40 yard.

I decided to start a new superstar mode and create myself as a HB this time. I hate the NFL combine on there. My 40 yard time is never below 4.7, my bench press usually ends at 17 reps, and I finish with a lower score than the defense in the running drills. Then, after all that, I get drafted to the Browns and we go 8-8 on the season.
Does anyone have any tips on how to do any of the Combine drills better?

I can't do the 40 or the bench press.
Really, my lack of skills keeps me from playing Superstar, which kinda sucks. I like that mode, generally.

I got lucky on one attempt and got my HB to a 92 OVR, got a good agent, and was drafted to the New England Patriots. We won the first two pre-season games, but then apparently the switch that makes Tom Brady a good QB turned off and he threw six INTs and no TDs in week one against Kansas City. We then struggled against the New York Jets. Brady threw 3 INTs in the first half and we lost 14-3, and at that point I just said "f**k it." Why go through the trouble of creating a good HB if you're on a team that throws a pass on every down except a third and short.

Lol. Yeah, my QB completed like 40% in week one, threw 1 TD vs. 5 INTs, yet we still won 22-15.
Second game though, my dude exploded for almost 400 yards and 5 TDs against the LOLions. It was awesome.

9-21 now, I can't keep a winning streak anymore
I started a superstar with Joe Flacco but I didn't save it after the first game, lost 21-14 against the Bengals. I threw 3 INTs, one turned into a TD return.
I also deleted my Saints Franchise I told you all about, one thing led to another and I space and simmed a few games on accident.
I'm think of going back to NCAA for a while, start a Dynasty or Campus Legend

10-21, beat one of my friends
Steelers(me)- 28
Cowboys(him)- 7
He must've thrown 4 or 5 INTs. For a while the game was 13-7, he stopped me a few times before the goal line and craplike that. Always threw to T.O., his major downfall.

I know on defense (on PS3) L2 is to look back towards the QB, x is to swat, and triangle is to try to pick it, but Im doing a CB superstar and I dont feel like those buttons are working. I mean when I hit triangle, my guy just puts his hands out but he doesnt leap, and I have 99 jumping and catching(cause I cheated and just created someone lol). And I hold L2 when the ball is in the air but if I keep running(even without turbo) he usually doesn't turn. And when I hit x he only goes up to swat it sometimes. Idk, I'm confused someone help lol.
