So if I don't want to try a FG from 50+ yards, but the playbook rule for <30 only covers it up to 47 yards, I should delete my playbook rules and go with gamesetting rules of <50 instead?

And how doesa teamwith better stats and overall strength lose to a lower class team and not only that not even score a TD. I m totally over it. Now i just have to change my team name so no other team incorporates it when i go bot. How do you go bot?

You mean the game vs Tribal Hydra? I have some thoughts about your loss. If you're interested I can PM you or write here...

Maybe mix up the run and pass within each formation. Pass a little more out of the Big I and run a bit from the 2WR Shotgun. Try to trick the opposing Defense into a formation mismatch with you. I'm still trying to figure it out as well, and I know how frustrating it can be.

Don't go bot yet! I would at least wait until the next game engine u p d a t e is released, it might change some things for the better. I'd hate to lose my long time rival who beats me half the time.

LOL..now you mention it, it would be rather letting you off the hook.
You mention using unorthodox formation techniques, i was going to do that but i thought it would be complete suicide and desperation to say the least.
I just think pure strength and team experience would be enough to score a TD. I think i might lay off the passes though. After a bit of encouragment i will keep on to see what the rest of the season holds. Very technical game though. Cheers Ombi. Till we meet again..

If you run out of a given formation all the time then the D will play the run well vs that formation. Ditto for passing.

Using certain formations to run and others to pass is a big no no in the new engine.

So it's better to stick with one formation all the time?

No.

It's better to not run all the time out of some and pass all the time out of others.

It's also better to not run or pass all the time out of anything.
