What the actual **** is wrong with this release? There is ABSOLUTELY NO COMBINATION OF ATTRIBUTES THAT EXPLAIN THIS STRAIGHT UP BROKEN BS.

Everyone should just quit.

These plays are the exact reason I'm up in arms about this game right now. Just throw it long and hope he catches it! It's worse than either of the two other versions I've been around for.

I have played this game for 4 years...I was one of the early ones, but this game, which was once progressing, is now digressing.

I really enjoy the roster building part of it, but am losing interest. The game play seems to be moving in the wrong direction as has been so accurately explained in previous posts in this thread.

I hope David can address the trouble spots as I would truly miss this game. I am counting on the issue being resolved, because David has shown a great willingness to fix things in the past...here's rooting for MFN!!

EDIT: Two things seem insane: The fact that ball carriers, whether running, receiving or returning, won't turn up field when no one is close; and also the spiral of QB ineptness with poor passes on every attempt in certain situations due to specific D-schemes, in spite of talent or lack thereof, extent of coverage, pursuit, rush, etc!

Many of the plays that were successful for my teams are no longer effective on defense or offense. So what I did was eliminate all the plays that had a low average gain on offense and eliminate all the plays that have a high average gain on defense. So on offense, my plays went down from like 36 to 20 and on defense my plays went down from 30 to 15. This new code has forced me to scratch almost half my plays. But my teams are winning but with the less plays, they are truly easier to scout against.

This is what 0.4.3 was SUPPOSED TO FIX. But I agree. I've started running fewer plays on defense because I can run base defense without being penalized, so I like that. But the offensive plays is complete bull ****. I should be able to run more plays.

As JDB says, "The code base released was considered acceptable to address the issues it meant to address"

If you notice, JDB has been silent about 0.4.3 since it was released.

These flaws were pointed out in beta, with vocal and specific objections to releasing it.

To be fair, most of them were only specific through the first quarter to half of a game because I gave up on film review.
