I think the mechanic where the FB always blocks a man is overpowered. He should not be certain to make a block every time.

I think the formations where the HB is in the backfield he should also get a chance to block a lineman breaking through or the Blitzer. If this change was implemented then it would i believe go someway to redress the balance in formations.


I believe NFL rl blocking success is quite large. Near 98-99% I think. But yes - every rare now and then a rusher should still get through the block.

But our stats are kind of a misnomer.

TE's always record successful blocks but on run plays sometimes I see that the blocked defender still makes the tackle - often for no gain or a loss but still shows as a successful block in the stats.

Obviously you have never looked at my games - or you would know I do not just use SG4. I use 3 playbooks - my big one is around 1300 lines..


I never said you did. I'd rather defend against 1300 lines than completely RNG.

But as for RZA only simulating formation play - I don't agree that is what is being simulated. We see screens and deep passes and inside and outside etc.. Runs we see all direction stuff.


But we can't control or counter any of that. We can only plan at the formation level. So the rest is pretty much flavor.

BUT I do think pete needs to impose/increase a penalty when only a formation is used over 85% of the time. Large enough to guarantee a loss...


Here we agree, although I would say it should just continually increase. 85% should be less effective than 50% should be less effective than 25%. Regardless, no one formation should be the default best formation to call in every situation. That is game breaking. We really shouldn't have any formation that are never the right formation to use. The best game play situation is for all formations to have strengths and weaknesses and to have defensive formations with net zero varying degrees of success against runs and passes. Games should be about trade-offs. If there is no trade-off and SG4 is just always the right play to call, then there isn't much of a game.

that was a killer sack to take you out of FG range and leave you at a 3rd and 17. No real option but to go for it. Nothing in it otherwise. GG

End of the group stage today....wonder where the 2 loss PD cut-off will be. I think the 2 loss teams in my division probably are moving on @ ~ +600.
