A message to all teams - take advantage of this exploit:

Just 1 formation needed - SG2
Pass 100% of the time - no run needed
Throw Left/Middle and ignore the right

Thats right your 48% rated team can beat a 83% rated team in a supercup game

Unfortunately the side effect of this tactic is that it will likely ruin the enjoyment of the game for players (it has for me)

Looking at the game, it doesn't actually seem to be such a world-beating tactic. Other factors seem to be involved as yes it resulted in 5 TD but also 4 turnovers - 2 interceptions and 2 on downs.

Definitely shows that the 3-3-5 isn't as effective as I would have imagined against a Shotgun 2WR passing offence.

It would still have made me cross to see it though!

And miss ALL blocks from entire offensive line to really make sure that they get a win!!!!!!

While your team got only two sacks with all missed blocks.

UNBELIVEABLE!!!!!!!!!

RZA realism right here! This game engine ignoring player skill levels and team ratings is bull crap and does kill enjoyment.

Engine has been lopsided to give generous outcomes to newer less built teams probably to maybe retain new managers.

Like to have the 10-15 seasons ago engine set up.

I am usually tolerant with strange results and still think the engine is pretty good, but it is hard to ignore such outcome.

Pete? Is there any thing to explain this result?

@dumpling: which game you refer to?




To the moaners in here: you all missed the most important: you cannot win without paying Yoda.

This game

Dumpling didn't do himself any favors by not scouting his opponent, which would have eliminated his use of running defenses but given the difference in team rating, not sure I would have spent any time scouting either

QB agility is 48.5

That must be a reason.

Because agility is so important.

Passing 28.7, vision 29.2, not so important.

The only thing I can say about it: when I was introducing Coaches Karma and tried to let it influence the sim engine, I was shot down not only with arguments, but kind of attacks even via PM. Now the commmunity has to deal with the burden out of it. Coaches Karma and the lopsided tactics detection where both flagging this gameplay. Imagine Coaches Karma WOULD influence the engine
