It was a decent game. I had more passes for long gains than I usually do. Coles felt like running I guess.
I must confess, though. After the first quarter, I basically ran the same defensive play every down (just different formations) as you were basically running the same offensive play.
Cover 2 - hot route DB to man coverage on Hester - hot route LB to blitz if I had time. The big running gains were mainly because I was in the nickel/dime/quarter defense the entire game. It took care of Hester with the long ball and your TE/FB/HB (not sure which), in the short field. It's why I got 4 picks in a row.
The 2nd big TD you had in the 2nd or 3rd quarter to Hester was because I messed up the defensive hot route and set the defender to cover the flat instead of man coverage (stupid defensive hot routes are different in Madden than NCAA). Same thing happened when I played Cuda.
You need to add some timed, precision passes to your game and not just scramble around and throw a bomb to Hester.
