Did anything change regarding Rushing ? I watched the game and I just had the feeling that my Team rushed better under 2.2.1 than under 2.0.0 .......... or maybe I've got an over-active imagination


See, I cannot answer all these question "Did X change". The reason is that there is no rush function, or pass function or tackle function working in its own small "nutshell". Much more all these parts interfere with each other. This means changes on one side can change the outcome of another part. And this is exactly what makes it so hard to balance the thing.


OK ..... here's what I thought I saw .......

- fewer long passing TD's (not that much fewer, but noticeably fewer)
- Rush seemed slightly more effective
- fewer missed tackles by CB's/SF's (not that much fewer, but noticeably so)

and finally, some mysteriously cryptic messages ..... are these DeBug messages ???? :-

7:20 1 and 10 to go on own 33, Bernie Quintanilla (OC) snaps the ball to Young Waters (QB), hands off to Walker Keaton (HB/C), he starts running over the center, count:0, Walker Keaton (HB/C) breaks the tackle of Dom Gold (NT), count:1, Walker Keaton (HB/C) tackled by Levi Zamora (MLB), forward progress: 4 yards (Big I formation vs. 3-4-4)

6:49 2 and 6 to go on own 37, Elijah Coyle (OC) snaps the ball to Arnulfo Floyd (QB), Arnulfo Floyd (QB) selected Hannes Schäfer (TE/L) as target, this inner left pass goes to the receiver, who catches the ball, nobackfield, count:0, Hannes Schäfer (TE/L) tackled by Harvey Frost (OLB/R), forward progress: 7 yards, New first down (Big I formation vs. 3-4-4)

so what does the Count:0/Count:1 signify ? and what does backfield/nobackfield signify ? (I can take an educated guess at that one )

Any hints about what's what with the blitzing?

1/ can they tackle runners?
2/ Do SFs cover for blitzing LBs?


Mainly it is about the order on the field, and the ways a blitzer is using.


Is there a different chance for a OLB or MLB to go for the blitz? My observation is, that the MLB went more often for a blitz than an OLB. With equal chances it should be 50:50 for 4 LBs and 66:33 (OLB:MLB) for 3 LBs. In reality the blitzing of OLBs is more common than blitzing MBLs. I think in 80-90% the pass rusher is a OLB and not a MLB.

It is kind of a "brokentackle" count. And backfield/no backfield is a pointer from where the tackling started - even the wording is wrong

We s e l e c t more or less random from an array of LBs..

I observed similar results, but these findings don't scare me. What made me thinking yesterday was the huge drop of the completion rate of my starting QB. I have to verify this my more tests.

Not at the moment, it would screw my statistics.

That's interesting .... I found the opposite ! I played my No.2 & No.3 QB's .... they both had better completion rates than I would've expected.
However, it's only one game therefore I'm not reading too much into it ... I'll mix things up a bit more in future Friendlies to see if I can notice a Trend.

Did I also spot more passes of around 15 yards ? I think I did .... or that over-active imagination of mine is taking charge again

These changes are insane if a team playing on relaxed vs my normal can cut it so close: friendly against Spud's Spartans


Could you use other wording pls. I don't get the full sense, and the translator is telling bullshit, too

Edit: after thinking again, I guess I understand. You think the gap should be bigger, if relaxed meets normal. I don't believe you could make a conclusion out of one game.


I wasn't playing relaxed mode
