Lost now. There is no change regarding the blitzing.

I moved up to League 1 from 2.1 and I haven't noticed anything different, my sacks are same as always (which is a good thing, 1 in a loss, 4 and 6 in two wins).

Empirically I've seen the same to such an effect that I stopped blitzing all together in key games as the risk was too high and I wasn't seeing benefits. Against weaker teams it still worked.

Here are my stats:
S24 - 52 (4th in league)
S25 - 67 (2nd in league)
S26 - 39 (6th in league)

I was just thinking however that opposition was just getting better I guess.

The Green Machine for example has been consistently at the top of the sacking stats in Thunder 1.1 with little variation in the total number of sacks.

Right but is there a change in the Earth's magnetic field?

Sacking is always something my team has done well at... Make sure you have cover in the formations you blitz in... It is the way real teams plan their d around so should we

I think the formula for sacks changed going into season 23...not sure about blitzing.

I also think the better managers over time have adopted faster QBs...so that may also contribute.

This is probably the main thing. Once people figured out that speed was more important than strength for QBs, its just a matter of time before the new breed of speed demons propagate through the leagues.

Plus QBs get a stamina bonus now if they sit for their respective national anthems. Make sure you check that box in the game settings. :-)
