I've just been sitting here and thinking about the season that I started up in NCAA 2004 and thought I would relay some of the things that I've run into in the game and give a small recap of my first season with the University of Louisana at Monroe playing at All American level.
Well, after completing my first season, and prior to my first bowl game. I've finished the season at 9-2 with my only losses coming to LSU and Auburn, both top 25 teams. My loss to LSU was a heartbreaker and a tough way to start the year, but they were really the better team. Auburn on the other hand handed my A$$ to me and didn't ever hold up. They threw for over 300 against me and made my DB's scream for mercy... which they never gave us.
Sadly, the only thing that I would have liked to have seen is a player from my team up for a major award, but the only award that we're up for is coach of the year. Which it looks like I have a pretty good chance of winning.
I've gotten my schools confidence in my up to an A+. It's at the point now where it says that my AD will match any offer made to me by any other school in the country.
At this point, I've seen some very cool things in the game. I've had a punt return for a TD, a kickoff return for a TD, a 99 yard game clinching INT return for a TD, and a fumble return for a TD.
I've seen a punt heading for the endzone and seen a CPU controlled player jump up at the 1 yard line and bat it back into the field of play.
At this point, I can't be more excited about getting to the next season of play. I want to take the Indians to the next level and get them moved from the Sun Belt and into a tougher conference where I can get them to a BCS game or into the running for the National Championship. The other thing that I want to see is a Sports Illustrated cover with my UL-Monroe team on the cover.
I really debated picking up this game this year... and I have no idea why at this point. My EA bio has over 20 hours put into NCAA and I think I'll be well past that by the time I reach all of my self-set gaming goals.
