I didn't just use dime the whole game. I used mostly dime yes but i used 3-1-7 in certain situations. dime isn't that friggin weak to a shotgun package irl how is it totally ineffective here

(find out I didn't use 3-3-5. didn't use it at all that game which is odd. fixed)

No game can ever replicate real life but this one gets pretty close and is the best one there is. You observe and find out what works and what doesn't and then adapt. Sometimes nothing works and it's just a bad day in the office (happens a lot to me), sometimes everything pans out just fine.

thanks for the words Im a little cheesed atm as you can tell but im quickly changing my playbook as we speak. im a little more mad & embarrassed at myself for letting this happen

edit: I also noticed he was able to rush 33 times against a passing dime defense even though I don't have dime selected against any rush.

You gotta take in account that RZA is a zone pass defense only - IRL a zone dime is a medium and deep pass defense.

as for his running vs your dime - your defense was keyed up to pass defend and thats why you didn't much see your run D formations.

whats the point of even having a playbook

how did I get beat 41-3 with Maykop running ONE PLAY the whole game on top of having a worse offense than mine, thats just indefensible....welp looks like its just time to run Shotgun 4 WR with 3-4-4 now seeing thats all you need to win games especially against level competition


This is correct. In this game, SG4/3-4-4 is what most lazy teams use, because it is always more effective than any well thought out plan. Its a major flaw in the game.

Is SG4WR more effective that SG2WR?

I prefer SG2 to SG4. You get the added blockers when you run the ball.

I haven't noticed much difference in the run. Last game, my opponent averaged 10 yards per carry SG4 vs 5-3-3.

And with SG4 you don't need a TE coach.

First of all Pete has just changed the balance of formations at the last rollover so any data from prior to S29 is now irrelevant.

Data being the only way to prove that formation X is more effective than formation Y unless you secretly played thousands of scrimmages since the season started you have no idea what you're talking about as you simply don't have enough data to back up your opinions.

Just to be clear I do not know either as I do not have enough data but at least I'm not sharing my opinion as if it was a fact on the forum.

Opinions are pointless in this game, data is not.
