one thing I do is consentantly SP? pound the ball with the running game. I found that this game does a good job of adjusting to what you are throwing at it, and the passing game should open up. Also I always look at what the defense is lining up with. If they are well off the line, then I'll use the hot routes and run an in or out. If they are playing close I try to stack one side and get a mismatch for the safeties. A good reciever should beat a good coner, but not a corner and a safety. Also look for you TE. These guys have saved me more times than I can count. Also don't forget looking for a running back out in the flats. And lastly, use play action. Most of the time, meaning the D isn't blitzing, play action will by your recievers and QB time to get open, and usaully the coners jump hand off.
I've been a VC gamer for a couple years now and just recentally got NCAA. I can honestly say that the passing game is awesome once you get the fell for it. Don't give up. Work through the progressing and get the ball out quickly.

Umm... How do you get the custom stadium music to play during a Live game? I've put together some great taunting music but can't get it to play.

Can someone tell me how to load a VIP Franchise game I have already started?
I created a team, played a full preseason, and saved it. When I go back to try to load my team, it doesn't show that I played any games and wants to start me over with no record of games played. I must have tried for 15 minutes to figure what was going on, with no luck. Anyone have any insight? Thanks.

Slide is the same as dive for your other players (the QB slides feet first instead of dives head first). The rest of the QB moves are done with the right analog stick, and are basically ways to try to avoid a sack

I played a crazy game last night in Franchise mode. I made 7 intereceptions, 5 of those going back to touchdowns. Of the 5 ints for touchdown, 3 of them were for 100 yards, 101 yards and 102 yards Looks like I need to mess with the sliders or crank that difficulty up some.

I finally looked at the VIP stats... holy crap that's a lot of stats. It even tells people which offensive or defensive move you like to use the most (I spin about 75% of the time).
Amazing stuff. I'm sure it makes league play more interesting, when you can practice against a facsimile of your opponent and gameplan for them.

Has anyone else had a problem loading their VIP profile while logging on to XBox Live? I can log on just fine, but it always says that my profile could not be loaded at this time and it would default to the current profile.

I think you have to play a game before your profile can be loaded. At least that's what someone on the other thread said.

Does anyone know how to substitute a player into a different position in franchise mode?
I want to play a SS at FS, but it seems like there are no options for substituting out of position

I think in order to play a SS at FS(or any other position) you have to go into the subtitutions menu during the game and do it that way. The depth chart is not very user friendly. Also, I find it funny that you can edit everything on a rookie player, except their position, unless I am missing something.

Well, I have been playing this and NCAA Football 2005 quite a bit this past weekend and I am thinking I prefer this. I have not played anything but EA's NCAA franchise the past 4 years, but like the looks, presentation and gameplay of this. I wouldn't have bought this if it weren't $20 either so Sega did a good thing by lowering their price. Can't wait to get the DVDTalk League started.

I've only played one quarter of ESPN but I was really impressed. I'm sure the default difficulty is "too easy" but I enjoyed being able to jump right into a game and have fun. I was shocked when I had a field goal opportunity, went for it and actually made the field goal.
Last year I swore off Madden as it took away from my NCAA time. No Madden temptation this year, but I still have 2 football games to juggle.
I don't even care for NFL football that much.

You are right, it is nice to be able to kick a field goal.
