I admit it. I am at my wits' end with this f'n game; I keep losing to Miami in the D-2 championship and they return 1-2 kickoffs for TD's per game. I am looking for any decent advice you can offer in the way of strategy. I tried ball control, but I find them harder to run on than most. My team fumbles a kickoff or punt return every time I am ahead by one TD or tied. This is starting to piss me off so much, that I am giving some strong cosideration to trading this in next week....Any words of wisdom?

I understand, they are one of the hardest teams in the game. Because of julius williams. The best I can tell you is to stop the pass and Super tackle williams when he makes his run attempts. You may actually injure him. Kick field goals when you can. You can hit from 40+ yards It can be done [I beat them with a GW kick] but U must be perfect on the minigame.


Don't give up I Know this game is frustrating I broke the first blitz twice and my first PS3 control so I understand. The beavers are giving me crap as I type. They are keeping me from a perfect regular season.

No guts no glory.

There comes a point in all video games where if you
have not made the correct decisions you can not win anymore.

In BTL II you can sail through Division 3
throwing bombs and being sloppy. But by the
Div 2 champ game you had better know what you are doing.

Do you ever run the ball?

How many differnt plays are you using?

Are you an expert at DIRTY HITS??

Can you UNLEASH ON THAT WUSS JUDY WILLIAMS..
and shatter her tibia ...putting her out for 5 games?
Judy getting 200 yards...on my watch??...I DONT THINK SO !!!

I just played this game last night..as we are re building the perfect online team..( NOT the same as the best campaign team )

I hate Judy Williams...she costs so much $$money that Miami can not
repair the stadium,...and we have to play in that peice of crap..IN THE RAIN..and IT PISSES US OFF!!!..so we anialate her....

JUDY WILLLIAMS DOES NOT DESERVE THIS THREAD..


Go to training camp...LEARN HOW TO INJURE DIRTY HIT ..DIRTY HIT..... DIRTY HIT.

or you can go to gamestop and get $10.00 for a used game..

BUT I SUGGEST YOU KICK THIER ASS..and move on!! NO GUTS NO GLORY!!!

Maybe start your campaign over..and work harder.

This is a great game..but you have to know how
to play..IT IS NOT MADDEN..

MY TEAM INJURES JUDY WILLIAMS EVERY CAMPIAGN IN THIS GAME..She DOES NOT RUN ON US!!!

WE lay her..and her backup QB to waste......the 3rd string is wortheless..and we win by more than 22 EVERY TIME.



Game tip..

Use Cover-Camp...let the other 2 LBs rush,
and you wait in the middle...lay in wait..
as the mountain lion waits for prey....and whne it appraoches...
when Judy runs...put her in the hospital....she is a PAB!!

If you can not properly Dirty Hit ...go to training camp....or return the game.

Learn how to read the Offense.....and make the
correct D choice.....

There are a lot of plays..how many do you use?



that dang rain..that crappy broke stadium...we love
breaking their QBs too...they are a bunch of PABs!!!

I will not give up too much advice before I am
the best online player ( in teh Top 20 ) but
the above advice should....

MAINLY IT IS ALL ATTITUDE!!!! KILL'em ALL!!

BLITZ BLITZ BLITZ!!

one more tip....buy some drugs.
Buy Suluston the 15K drug - DHs cause 50% more stamina loss ( only $7500 if you are doing Tara )

AND...

the ONLY way ANYONE returns kickoffs is IF YOU GET BUTTON HAPPY..

relax..
and lay in wait...and BAM!!!!
MAKE MIAMI SORRY THEY INVITED YOU TO PLAY!!

and come back here..and tell us how you borke them.

DO IT!!!

oh..and sametime i have to put
the game down....and back away...for a day....
then we come back storm trooping..



AND...the question is...
Does the game like you?..are you playing correctly?

I have NOT kicked a field goal in campaign...EVER......Online ... I have..but I hate to..

AND

I will say this..

Since my friend THharryC showed me how
to injure the QB on an extra point "attempt"
( he showed me... by injuring mine )( LOL )
I have injued many many QB holding the ball for the extra point.

Make sure Franchise is fast..train him...
then charge the QB who is hold ing the ball...poor sucker.


and come back here..and tell us how you broke them.


obivously I must have some feelings for QB Judy..look how much I typed about her;)

well, I did put the game aside for 2 days, came back today, and lost 3 in a row to them. I actually did injure Williams once, and on the next play, his backup threw a TD. Pathetic. I play spy with the MLB a lot, but I am not getting my 2nd best LB back because he is hurt and doesn't return until I win, I am guessing. Plus, I am unable to do training or buy new drugs until I beat these assholes. It is driving me crazy because I don't even think they're the best team I have faced. I am trying to run on them, but it is very difficult to run inside, which sucks because that's how Williams gets all his big runs, hence why I try to spy on him w/ the MLB. Which other defensive schemes are successful against this team?

If you are saying that you picked Franchise
to be a LB and he is multi game injured...TILT!!!!....delte this team..start over..

It is SO MUCH FUN:)..I am not kidding

When you have been fighting in the
trenches...and then you start over..DIV 3 is EAZY AND MUCHO FUN.

AND DONT ALLOW MULTI GAME INJURIES!!! on ANYONE

I allowed injuies on my first few campiagns, and ven bought that extra meds BS,,,BUT ..
then I stopped that BS.

Watch out!!! play smart

CHECK YOUR TEAM STATUS-
click the start button and check your team status
if ANYONE is below 75%..Keep the OUT OF HARM'S WAY,
ESP YOUR STAR PLAYER!@!!!


wehn the otehr team has unleashed ..and I am out of clash
I allow the great QUINTON SANDS/LT to do the
dirty work..he is less likely to
be injured.

AND

Get you Resist injury to level 3 ASAP.

By game 3 Div 3..I had level 1 and 2 of ri
and level 1 of speed.


-----------------------------------------------
SOOOOOooo....
Start over..and play smart...DONT ALLOW injuries.

That was my mantra on BTL..and at first
I thought it was inevitable on BTL II..but I
changed my mind....DONT ALLOW injuiries.period
of course you will get some injuies..but DONT!!!

start over.....it will be funner

I am unworthy to give advice...but I dont see the
online superstars helping.....anyway...I am almost done
with my SUPERteam..we just beat LA Riot 46-6, I tried
to post viedo it to youtube...but.... AH BS!! on them..and that BS.......

If I can do well with this team..I will spill the beans..if
I have no talent..I will fade away,..BUT I PLAN ON ONLINE DESTRUCTUIONATIIONISM!!

I hated playing against the Hammerheads. I've injured J. Williams 8 times in one game in the same spot without ever getting a serious injury on him. That was driving me insane. It was the Bruised Kidney injury. I bruised his kidney 8 times in the game and every time I was like "How much more bruised can his kidney get?" Do Run Area and Tight Rope. I found that to be pretty affective on J. Williams run. Don't do it too much because you'll only tell the CPU what you are doing and they will capitalize.

Just kick the ball all the ways to one side or the other, you should be able to land a dirty hit on the guy catching the ball everytime. Then I play Crush-Crash defense and just shut down Williams the whole game. They will score, the offense is great. Just come back and score yourself. Dirty hits and gaining clash are the keys.

I stopped even trying to kick deep. I just let the kicker shank it, so it either goes out of bounds (and therefore doesn't allow the opponents to gain back clash), or can dirty hit the slow guys up front and wear them down, making it easier to get to Julius.

What drives me nuts is when the computer all of a sudden ahas a lethal stiffarm and can't be stopped. I still say kick it deep though, its not that big enough of a problem to not do it.

I reccommend using Crush - Crash and lining up the two outside backs a bit outside this end, this way it gives you contain.

Also, the computer tends to drop back to thie side opposite where you line up. If you start just right of center then expect him to drop back to the left. This way once the ball is snapped you can charge around the left end and get him. Once he's been dirty hit and slowed down, its a piece of cake.

I find that kicking it deep to the left gets the ball into the hands of a guy who isn't a real threat.

Agreed... although once in a while he'll turn into a stiff-arming beast!

Yeah, but I haven't had one kick return on me since I started doing this. Also if the CPU has his unleash meter or his clash meter is pretty full and is loving then kind of stay back a little and wait for him to stiff arm everyone else then strike. He may end up in good feild position but if you're good enough you should be able to stop him.

I have a really, really, really good secondary. Everything else on my team is good, but my secondary is BEAST. I've learned that pretty much 100% of the time the running back unleashes on either a D-Lineman or a Linebacker. So that usually means that my Safety winds up making the stop. Therefore when I started playing campaign I made Franchise my WR/Safety, when he is on Safety he can Blitz AND stop the pass/run. This is really useful on this game, since J. Williams is FAST. He normally runs right through my LBs. Since I have an amazing secondary I always wind up getting TONS of tackles with Franchise and my CBs. I took Williams out for 2 games with an Unleashed hit from Franchise after he ran from the other endzone (I turned over a kickoff) for 40 yards with Franchise right on his tail. Then he slows down and KaPLOWEY!!!!!!!!!! Fractured Kneecap or something. Then the game was incredibly easy since I kept taking out the receivers before they could get the ball. PLUS just cause Williams is out, that doesn't mean they stop doing QB runs. So then you could use the opportunity to rack up some sacks with Franchise.
