I wanted to put out some comments for the season.
-Break Tackle….Offense is overpowered. Ever since the adjustments to the break tackle equation, this has gotten out of hand. My RB went from 4.2 YPC to 5.8YPC in three seasons, running the exact same offense, behind the exact same OL. The only change was the game engine. The break tackle equation was a band aid for a poor running game three seasons ago and needs adjusted back down.
-Pass rush….this is also nerfed from a few seasons ago. My sack total is way down with the same DL and the same base defense. The OL holds their blocks way too long and this is letting average QB look like all pro. I'd adjust the time the OL can hold their blocks and this will also help on ST.
-Salary Cap…no one talks about this but the salary cap has never worked here. I didn't much care as the game engine was getting adjusted but its time to address the fact the salary cap and contract engine dose not really do much. I've had over 30M+ in cap room each season and can do what ever i want. I have a top 10 QB who makes 3M/year? and a top 3 WR who makes 3M/year? these numbers should be way higher and teams should struggle to get under the cap. Look at this year's FA signings…teams are throwing money at old Vets because they can w/o any worry about a cap hit later on.
-3-4 defense…this still needs fleshed out with better plays. The base 3-4 runs a 3 man rush not a 4 man as it should.
