Hey whats up here?
I spend 4 seasons building my team to the point of having a good team,then all of a sudden we have a new match engine and now I have a bad team.

This need to be move to discussion admin.

And by the way change is good. The needs to be a balance of run and pass.


I like the improvement but the completion rating is still low and to many long plays against the right defense.

Example I have seen long pass play to often on the 335 and the dime which shouldn't happen at lest long pass anyways.

but at the same time i see the 5-2 and 5-3-3 still only give up a completion rating of the 30s range to a 4wr shotgun which is not right either.

There are 2 things in play here -

1/ The game should get better. Have a think about how ridiculous it would be if pete decided to change nothing more due to this sort of complaint.

2/ It's a management game and foreseeing this sort of thing is part of the management aspect. This has been spoken about forever, you had a whole season of friendlies and it should have been obvious that a run heavy engine would get tweaked at some point anyway!

this is the backlash of dominant run orientated teams not being so dominant. the game should never be one dimensional and this is a step away from that, even if some other areas are still in that realm and need help.

First of all you had 1 season of friendlygames to test the new engine and after that there was a poll so you couldnĀ“t be surprised that it was coming.

And the game with the old engine was more like Grid-iron, the darkwing here was run the ball left....

...now it is like counting big plays...the team with more big plays almost exclusively wins the game...does that sound familiar?

But hey, the game settings are really way better over here (serious comment)

So RZA is obviuously better than -TOG- nevertheless...yesterday i played against an opponent who probably used MOTY against me. I won due to four big plays...without them i had lost the game. I mean this is football, but probably also kind of frustrating for many teams. This is the issue we are facing at the moment. Dunno what to do against it.

I think the defensive formations have more importance than it should have. The players skills are very underrated by the engine when we are using some formations. That's the reason for too many big plays. That's my feeling, I can be completely wrong but who knows.

After my game yesterday, my feelings are the exact opposite. Strong receivers with agility are hard to stop!
