Well the long and the short of it is that positional skills have only at best a minor influence on things.

Thats not right and just isn't a realistic simulation.

(And I'm not just pointing at this game)

Love RZA and my time here but honestly I think it's mostly scripted rivalries and seasons regardless of what we actually do as far as the individually players.

We do have some ability in the playbook but even then it's only limited..

Thanks!

If you ask 100 different gamers, you will get 101 different answers how uch a sim should be...so I am not wondering about such statements at all. They are valid, each single of it. But of course this makes something else very obvious: No chance to develop a game that would please all gamers...

I didn’t realise this would get such a big response...... but having said that I can honestly say I am none the wiser !!!

I have changed from mainly pass on 3rd down to a mix but when it is said not enough variation on formations...... of 4 downs I have 3 different formations........ although if you include the variations of punt FG or go for it on 4th I have 5 formations......

Many teams irl use just one or two O formations an entire game.... so remain very mystified

Again, this is not black/white. The penalty on lopsided playbooks is not digital. But the manager in question was having such a limited playbook, he was hit by the full penalty.


so my opponent today was using just one formation on offense
nice result of the full penalty

With version 4.33 in use ... its all said. All we can do is lay back and trust the process.


Meanwhile, check this out, what happened to me while shopping at my local beer specialist today, unbelieveable:

True! It is kind of useless trying to convince me changing mechanics of an engine version we have a replacement for in test already...

What team irl uses 14 different players at QB and WR?

How about a severe penalty on broken depth charts too.

It is completely unrealistic for a 14 player rotation at QB and completely unrealistic that a 14 player rotation was effective.

Make key positional skills like QB actually matter.

.


Totally agree we should have a severe penalty on broken depth charts. In fact there should be a limit on the number of spots E.g for QB there should only be 3 spots available. Why would anyone need more than 3?
