Couple obvious reasons you lost. The CPU players were stronger than some of yours. As you know, the CPU players level is determined by your average level, which is much higher than some of your Dots even accounting for the -10% all CPU Dots get, they had an advantage on some of your Dots. Another reason is lack of competition. You have been blowing everyone out so your game plan doesn't get the chance to be fine tuned to compete against the best. Looking at the scores of the guy you played, he's been fairly effective in his games, so I assume he puts together a game plan and out did you.I'll argue the point about the game plan. I mean, I totally understand where you're coming from and you're correct to a degree, but I don't think that's the main reason.
As the DC, I think we played well... aside from that blown play in OT. The team got a lot of points off of field goals from drives that started in the redzone - which, turns out to be the biggest factor of all...
TURNOVERS
We got 0, they got 4!
Our D is a turnover machine. We get tons of interceptions. That's why it blows my mind that we can get 12 Hurries, 7 Sacks, and still not get any interceptions. I mean, c'mon, we only forced 1 Bad Throw? Really? We did force the QB to fumble once, but we didn't recover.
Now, check out how often our O turns the ball over. Our QB had 1 pick going into this game. In the 2nd QTR, he throws 2 back-to-back. We also had 2 fumbles lost and, while both backs have had some drops, none of them had been lost this season. 2 or 3 of those 4 turnovers gave them the ball in the redzone. We were able to hold them to field goals for most of the time.
We had 3 turnovers within 9 minutes. I don't think scheme had much to do with any of that. From a D perspective, I don't think there's anything I could have done more to get a turnover. We consistently got 3 and outs, sacks, and hurries. As far as the O goes, OK, maybe they're due for a turnover or two... whatever, it's a sim. But 4!? That's kinda ridiculous.
Could the schemes have been better? Yes. But, you're not going to beat anyone giving away 4 turnovers and not getting any, I don't care who you're playing.... or what you're playing real football or dot ball.
The makers of this game don't have a problem with this at all, though. So, it all falls on deaf ears.
