I sure hope most of that doesn't actually get implemented. Hope it's just on the "maybe" rack right now and excruciatingly tested. For some of the D "nerfs" at least...not real sure how much help already over-powered offenses really need. I'm going to hold off my real comments for now...

This makes literally no sense...whatsoever.

O-line gets a boost while D-line gets a nerf? Ok...cause that makes sense.

I guess the running game just isn't working well enough....

Maybe in WL where everything is severely distorted...but if this happens then why would anyone pass anymore in the lower leagues?

Speaking of WL... http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=1099629 is a joke game, btw.

Why nerf HW? Balance was added to directly counter it, if an OLineman is getting knocked on his ass he should add some balance.

Or like the O-dots like to say, FYB!

Already posted this on the test server. The games I watched had too many pancakes. I suggested they tone those down as well if they're going to tone down revcakes. Basically I've felt the line interaction has been too extreme the last few seasons - too many players ending up on their ass.

people are paying to see those dot's do something imo. (on both sides of the ball)

Hmm.

I'm struggling to see the rationale. Were DTs too effective last season? It seems like they'd finally become relevant again, able to produce semi-consistently. Obviously I haven't seen these proposed changes in action, but, it seems like it would be a blow to said effectiveness, which isn't the direction most would want to see things go in.

I disagree with the Dline getting whacked with the nerf stick. Oh well. Should be used to it by now I suppose.

I'm not saying it should be a stalemate every time where nobody wins, but ideally the D-line should be able to get position and whatnot without throwing every O-line player in their way to the ground. Also O-line players have never really had much to look at since you can't search for your name in the PBP and find pancakes. They either watch the replays or they don't. I enjoy seeing my linemen open up a huge hole for the HB or hold off a tenacious pass rusher as much as I like to see a pancake.

pass rushing wasnt affected at all for DT's, and pass quality has been nerfed a bit. plus OL got their nice level gains taken away.

overall this season passing took a slight hit, insider rushing got a slight boost. seems about right to me.

no it didn't... maybe season 25 passing too a little hit... the next ~7 seasons offense got yet another buff
