Yeah. I've heard about the loopholes. Just lucky I guess I've not been exposed to it. It's been a year almost and I've enjoyed it. If I ran into those issues you mention I probably would have quit already. Hope the new versions even things out.

It's not just the sacks for me.

It's mainly the constant overuse of just a few plays with no significant repercussions for the offending team that bothers me the most, combined with people playing CBs on the DL (for example) simply because "it works" in the current code since weight isn't much of a factor, etc.

All of these items are being addressed in testing right now. I am still hopeful the changes will be meaningful and not just lip service. If the next version doesn't take care of these issues, I'm probably out.

I'm sure you've run into them, but didn't notice it. I just gave up and started running DBs and DEs because why not. When the new code is rolled out, I'll just move them to LB.

The current code is largely just a competition to see who can do the best job handling the all-blitz defenses most people seem to be using. It's not very much fun right now seeing that week after week after week.


Being that i am still fairly new, I request you guys please tell me if I become one of those guys. I really try to mix my play calling & keep an watch on it. I've played a few of the "blitzers". It's no fun. I do not wish to be labeled one. :/

Same here. Please let me know if I become one, but I try to mix it up and keep it more realistic.

I'll admit, It is tempting. I have 6 teams already. It's just about all I can handle! O.o

Later in the week, if teams are still available, I may join one. Idk

I blitz a lot but that is because that is what I want to do. I have been punished for blitzing to much by certain players here. not gonna mention any by name though. I don't know anything about the coding I just love and know a little football. I run a lot of blitz's also so that I can get those plays more developed and as I get better at those plays I adjust my scheme. I cannot recall sacking anybody 25 times. however in a few games against punisher and a couple of others we have combined for 25 sacks in a game or close to it.

I have 2 Teams (and Drafting a 3rd).

One is a Defense Focused (Ground and Pound O) All Blitz... but then I Drafted/Traded for the Top 3 LBs in a Class and moved one to DE... along with taking over a fairly good D before I added those 3 guys. It's their 3rd Season together, and they are getting about 9.0 Sacks a Game.

My other Team is an Offensive Focused (All Pass O) that is All Zone.

I'm thinking this 3rd Team will be an Offensive Focused (All Run) Mixed D.

Normally I 'theme' my Teams and try to build and game plan based off that. So I absolutely have a Team where Every Play is a Blitz... but going over my Play Chart it seems I send a Variety of Blitzes. It's the complete opposite for my Zone Team which used one play about 80% of the time (despite me having 30 Defensive Plays in the book).

Of course no one complains about some one spamming a Zone they constantly shred.
