Maybe, but my FS is ~29 in all of the DB skills. Much better than the competition and pretty good for a team at my level.
Worst part is after experimenting by setting the blitz settings really high against (what I thought) was an easy team, I got 0 sacks,   . And knocked out of the playoffs. Winning that game would have guaranteed the playoffs, losing guaranteed I was out 
I definitely think there is an issue with the run down. A 38 speed WR should not be able to run 80 yards down field unimpeded without at least one player making a play on him... Last edited on 2015-12-25 03:10:25 by Rock777 |

Does anyone blitz safeties? I thought the consensus was that blitzing LBers was considered more efective.

I was blitzing with both. Especially since I have Fearsome safeties. But I'm thinking I'm going to stop. Especially since I can't control which safety blitzes. Apparently blitzes only work on the pass in this game, and its a death sentence if your FS blitzes, so I think the blitz/safety combo is just broken right now.

In the real world a safety blitz is a BIG gamble especially against a quality team and if you SF blitz out of a 7 or 8 in the box defense. From what I have experienced I can't say it's broken. If your safety blitz fails and gets burned thats what can happen. Here and in pro ball. |

Steve SD Blitz I blitzed my safeties on nearly every pass play (using a 3-3-5 defense)...until I got to the Elite League. It did work from time to time at that level, but the O-linemen, FBs, and TEs picked up the blitz far too easily and and the opposing QB almost routinely burned my defense.  |

If your safety blitz fails and gets burned thats what can happen. Here and in pro ball. I'm not sure I entirely agree. It depends on formation and who you are blitzing with. There is a big difference between blitzing with the SS and blitzing with the FS. The SS is often keying on a RB or the QB. Blitzing with the SS usually involves switching his responsibility with a LB to confuse the offense about where the blitz is coming from. If the opponent is only using a WR set, and you are playing a dime, you should have WAY more backfield men than you need and blitzing with one safety should really not be risky.

Anytime you blitz it reduces the number of defenders covering, increases the area of responsibility and when you remove a safety from coverage it usually reduces the quality of the coverage too (creates mismatches) and It makes more/bigger holes to pass into. So if the blitz doesn't make it then it can be easier to complete a pass and harder to defend against.
Maybe that is more understandable. Last edited on 2016-01-01 01:40:53 by punch drunk |

I understood you perfectly the first time. Anytime you blitz with a LB it creates holes in the coverage as well. If you are playing with a Dime, I would say the one LB is just as important as the one SS. And they are going to be covering/keying on similar players. Yes SS blitz is risky, but so isn't a LB blitz. My point is that it is utterly ridiculous to have a FS blitz when you are expecting a pass. I don't think anyone would do that IRL. At least not without having the SS fall back and take over the FS responsibilities.

Exactly the point. From what I see RZA isn't broken as for safe blitz. It is simming what would/could happen. As for which safety - they both are used in blitzes at times to confuse and disguise. And sometimes they work, sometimes they fail and sometimes the offense can make a huge play from it. AND when a FS blitzes the SS will drop in basically a cover 1 in place of the FS BUT the SS normally isn't as good at pass coverage as a FS. It's a risk trying to make a big play that sometimes costs a big play. I will say we should have the ability to choose if an OLB, MLB, FS or Ss blitzes. It is too general/vague/random and THAT is kind of what could be "fixed". Last edited on 2016-01-01 07:25:14 by punch drunk |
