I just played Arkansas (Hum) vs. LSU (CPU) in the Battle for the Golden Boot. I ended up coming from behind to win, but something was very disturbing. I was up 17-10 as the 4th quarter started. I knew if I didn't score LSU would on their next possession. They haven't moved the football the entire game (score was on a pick 6), but it was the 4th quarter so I knew it would happen.
Sure enough, I punch it in for a TD, and 42 seconds after the kickout LSU scores on 4 plays...in the end, I knew that would happen which makes it seem so unreasonable. It's like the CPU has an extra gear in the 4th quarter when trailing, but my defense surely didn't help. I was in a Dime cover 3 and they were lighting me up with pass after pass after pass no matter what adjustments I made.
I ended up winning, but a majority of these games I'm getting my ass kicked. I have no idea how I will compete with a 3 star team on this difficulty. Does anyone have trouble with the running game though as I have? Maybe it was just LSU's run defense?
