Good day. I am not a full-blooded American Football fan. I just started following a few years back. So, a lot of the nuances in the tactical and strategical part of the game is not that familiar to me.
So, can I ask for some general tips out there? Like.. 1. What will your adjustments be if your opponent has an elite / weak cornerbacks? 2. If they are rushing heavily with their linebackers. 3. If they are attempting a lot of long passes. 4. best formation to use against high passing teams? and etc. thank you very much. |

No need to be a football professional to play RZA, in same cases knowing too much of real football is an handicap here... You only need to know some basical information, mainly about roles and formations. I see from your questions that you should already have some fundamentals. Balbinjj wrote:So, can I ask for some general tips out there?
Sure you can and this is the right place to do. Just remember that there is no perfect recipe in RZA. Anyone will answer your questions with his own unique experience and set of guessing. Balbinjj wrote:1. What will your adjustments be if your opponent has an elite / weak cornerbacks?
Any player on the field is the result of compromises (skills mixture, wage, depth chart position, substitutions, etc.) so it is difficult to talk with absolute unit of measures. I always think about relative ratios. I explain with some example: is my WR better than his best CB ? His CBs are better than his MLBs? Each answer leads me to different setup. In the first case I prefer throwing on sides, exploiting the matchups. If the second answer is no, I change my plan and focus on inner passes. A specific playbook against each single team is quite time-consuming, so in the first seasons is better to focus on your own team strengths and weaknesses and test a playbook schema to valorize your roster. You can worry about your opponent, when you master the playbook features. Balbinjj wrote:2. If they are rushing heavily with their linebackers.
Not much you can do in this case: 1) Choose a good Offensive Line 2) Prefer formations with FB (Shotgun, I-formation, etc.) to have an extra blocker in the pocket. 3) Run the ball against them. Pass rushers are not there to stop your RB. Balbinjj wrote:3. If they are attempting a lot of long passes.
Not a common strategy in RZA and surely not fruitful so far. Long passes are used as anomalous variation in a standard playbook, because they are prone to interception (as it is in the reality if you try hard too much). Long gains on passes are normally obtained by evasive WRs that avoid tackles and run through the defense. Balbinjj wrote:4. best formation to use against high passing teams?
See answer to question 1. It is related to your defenders vs opponent QB and WRs. If they pass a lot, you have to decide if you want to rush the QB and cut his decision times or if you prefer to sit down in the secondary and try to beat the receivers. You can do it with extra backs (3-3-5, 3-1-7) or with Linebackers (3-4-4, 4-4-3). It's not a matter of Stone-Scissors-Paper. Everything counts, but nothing has 100% perfect results. I hope I gave you confuse answers enough  Last edited on 2018-03-11 07:55:45 by Yashin |

It is really helpful.. Can I use the team ratings in Passing, Rushing, Pass Def. and Rush Def. as a quick guide in preparing my Playbook? Or, better to see the rating of his players? |

They are an overall index, but yes it can give you a first-level impression of your opponent weaknesses.
Use them wisely... it is an average on the whole team section. for example Passing % takes into account, QB, OL, Blocking Back, WRs and TEs, so it is a melting pot. I strongly suggest you not to focus your PB only on overall score. Add to it that sometimes people make experiments and you risk to prepare a plan against a team that changes completely and fields a complete different lineup against you.

How about positioning and vision on defensive linemen..
What is the difference between a 40 pos / 20 vis and a 20 pos / 40 vis if they have the same skillsets? Will the guy with the higher vision be better on pass and the one with higher pos, better on run? |

A guy with higher pos should do a better containment, a guy with higher vis sees earlier what will happen. Different kind of players but it is more about playing-styles. |

No evidence of it anyway ... only Pete knows it. I like this aura of mistery about game engine ... I like it hidden as it is. |

I like mistery very much...
However, the vision/position @20/40 vs @40/20 between pass and rush makes not fully sense, even some effects will be there. You cannot compensate missing vision by positioning on rush plays, and you cannot compensate it the other way around at passing plays. Each skill has it's own "function" and "flaws". Imagine, if we would support "high positioning on rush defending"...the DT stays at his slot in the DL, and waits for the RB to break through...with some vision he would have "seen" the zone step of the Offense Line, and would have known about the toss play to the outer left...without vision he maintains his position opposite the Guard....yes, a little bit too much of black and white in here, but you will get the idea... |

Positioning and Vision are pretty much a requisite across all players imo. If you lack in either you're not likely to start any time soon. I also know what I am gonna be working on with that player.

Defensively, I think I get it. Offensively? From WR, OL and QB... Is the effect still at par...  |
