He will need to add himself. I'm not holding spots for friends of friends. I'll hold the spot temporarily, but I will need to hear from him directly.

Sorry, fshguy was just helping me out because he knew that I can't check the forums during the day right now. I would like in with Tampa Bay if it was held for me.

Bill you still have NCAA 2005 right? If you have the time it would be fun to get in a game or two of OU - The OSU.

Bill_Abner · Post by **Bill_Abner** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 9:06 pm

I have it but the idea of actually PLAYING it makes me less than enthused. I just can't get into it this year. I'm using NCAA 2005 just for draft exports and recruiting.

Bill,
Did you see the post at OS about turning off HFA? Actually just turning screen shake off has made the game a million times better for me. It really does seem to fix the dropped passes thing although the super dbs are still there.

My first season with FSU I only completed 30% of my passes, but I'm almost done with my 2nd season and I'm right at 50% for the year. There's still a lot wrong with the game including the awful slowdown, but I've actually had a great time with my second season.

Unfortunately, you can't turn screen shake off online and when I played a game, I had about 6 drops in the first half. Online is still unplayable, but offline is actually fun now.

I'll take San Diego if my Raidas are not open.

OK one slot left..

You know I have tried every single one of the "fix-it's" and the dropped passes are there no matter what I try, including sliders. It is almost like I have to move my defenders away from the WR to get the CPU pass % over 40. The only thing turning of the camera shake and HFA have done for me is reduce some of the slowdown and allow me to stay with the NCAA camera. I don't know but I think people are creating these illusions that "turning X off" is fixing their game because they have no other choice for college football. The sad thing is people are having to resort to turning off EA's proclaimed BIG NEW Feature and default settings to get the game to work properly. Not that the whole camera shake/HFA feature was worth it anyway. NCAA 2005 for the Xbox is proof we need a lemon law for video games.

Bill maybe once the season starts you might change your mind, we could even go old school Shellenberger vs Wilkinson. Assuming you can use classic teams online.

Okay enough off-topic NCAA from me. Back to leading the Texans to the promise land.
