Good game MN! Even though I hated to lose because of that INT return you had, I think our teams would still be playing if they could.

Thanks, setherick! Looking at the stats and I can't believe how evenly matched this game was. I agree with you on the last INT. I thought this one was destined for OT.

Good luck the rest of the way!

Good game Ray.

GG Adder,

Your defense overwhelmed us with 10 sacks and 6 INTs. We could have kept it closer without so many turnovers and made a run for a comeback. See you in round 2 of our annual matches.

GG Tecra,

Think we got all the breaks in this one,as we were kinda hanging on there at the end.

Looking foward to week 16.

GG! You shredded my run game. Miller was shut down, but one would think my qb would take advantage of the LB/S s that lined up vs. My wr3 during those sets where you went away from the nickel .

It doesn't really matter as I expected that result. With the same plan game in and game and no subs or scouting I cannot expect to compete against the teams that use the right rules.


IRL QBs audible away from those sets when they see that mismatch, but to see my team fail with A run key vs that big defensive set makes me think it's a bit easy to stop the pass as well.

In 75 I am playing lbs as slot corners in an all dime defense . I lack the talent or plays that I like for that approach , but there are clear benefits to playing different sets than what the game prescribed .

I think jdb should look at it as a bit unfair and try to balance play abuse with such tactics instead of only using our current method. As real teams do stuff like you all the time. Perhaps an easy-to-use tool in the misc/gameplan could be added as another application for non rule users .

Maybe I am over thinking it ......good luck the rest of the way!

I agree that something will eventually need to give. Most teams make it too easy to game plan against by only passing or only running out of a particular set. It makes it really easy to call the right blitzes or coverage schemes against those teams -- the caveat being that you have to have a good secondary to make it work regardless.

As far as in game decision making, I also agree that something needs to be done. In the pros, the best teams are those that can make adjustments in game based on their opponent. In order to get close to this, I had to create 40-50 offensive rules. They are a beast to keep track of. I can't mass replace them. I don't have an import spec that allows me to download all of them, make changes, and re-upload them, etc.

Basically, at this point, we need an actual game profile engine that allows us to tell our team what we want to do on down, distance, time to go, and score without having to use the current rule engine. Or we need an import/export spec.

GG, KC. I'm sure I gave you a little scare there. Heh.

I think I'm starting to find my team's identity finally. Least I hope so...

Another great game Cincy. I hope to see you again in the Championship. ;)

GG NY. That would be awesome.
