The latter happened two me twice in one game and occasionally i see other games where such big plays happen due to the blitzung...that is why i use 0%


Exact

Its not possible to choose "only 3rd down" and try prevent maybe another first

It does not has chance that sack causes fumble and turnover

At the moment is only "nice to have" some sacks in the statistics but nothing more

are you kidding me, sacks are the best thing that can happen right now. If you have a team that avarages 4-6 yards a down against your defense and you can record a sack thats huge. Opponents never had a first down against me after I sacked them in a set of downs. Plus with the punters are beeing really wacky these times you get some extra yards.

(ok this is not completly true cause interceptions and fumbles have a bigger impact, but still sacks are far more than just nice to have.)

only thing I don´t like about blitzes, against a running play they are kinda useless, cause it always seem that the run takes advantage of the blitz which happens in reallive much less. I´d expect a lot more tackles for losses when blitzing cause it tackes a whole lot of teamplay to take advantage of a blitz.

atm, I think blitzing is a risk you don't need to take, as maybe 90+% of human-managed teams are predominantly rush-oriented teams. And the few that do pass, are going to be killed by your LBs and DBs interception returns for TDs.

Not to hijack the thread, but I am getting killed by these and am almost thinking of training my offensive players in tackling!

Oh, and to get back on track here. I noticed in my game today that I didn't have a 4 minute offense built into my playbook. I do now!

I believe Medium and Long passes have a dramatic (and unpleasant) impact on your INT rate.

I'm pretty sure I only have PASS on my playbook, not medium or long called out. So, what is going to help lower INTs with my QB? Strength to get the ball there quicker? Vision to see more clearly? Passing to throw more accurate? All of the above?

More: you forget about the receiver, and his ability to stick with the route on the field...and you can't do anything against the defender skills like vision obviously

All the above plus intelligence to decide wether to throw or not

Admin is reminding us again that every action in the game is affected by more than one skill. And normally it compares values for more than one player.

So INT's? My guess (listed in weighted order) as to what might happen:

- QB skills: Intel, Vision, Passing
- Rec skills: (Speed?), Positioning, Catching
- Defender skills: (Speed?), Vision, Catching

QB skills determine if the pass is On-target or Off-target.

Rec skills determine whether he catches an On-target pass (and perhaps his Speed, Agility, or Catching allows him a chance to reach the Off-target pass?)

Defender skills determine whether the On-target pass is caught, dropped, intercepted

Defender skills determine whether an Off-target pass is intercepted.

You are right, I was trying to simplify it way too much. I'll have to look more closely at which QBs and WRs are on the field for the INTs and see if I can figure out where I'm going wrong.

Quick Question: WR Route Running... Footwork? Positioning?
