Thanks, there's one simple way to slow down Never, build a huge lead. If I have one regret on offense it is that we passed more than we should have early. We'd get sacked and that would get us out of our game.
It's just a scrimmage, but yippee, we get to try and stop Nevers!! 370 broken tackles in 16 games, 50 broken tackles in 2 playoff games. After playing WYW, and their PB tandem from hell, we don't have to change a thing on our defense. It'll still be ineffective.
I called a bad game. I had run set to 80% pass to 20% on the AI for first and then second and 7.5 or less. If I had us at 100% run in those situations, we would have avoided those sacks. I just knew you'd sell out to stop the run and believed that we had to take advantage of it.
You'll probably get a bit less Never. I will probably switch up to a pass friendlier AI so that we can get some of our other players the ball more. I don't expect next year to be so much Never. I'm sure Bort will nerf the power backs.

My #3, who's somewhat of a power back had a better season.
Seems like Bort nerfed the elusive backs. The power backs have even made my well built DTs seem incompetent. Since when can't a DT with around 110 str, 50+ speed, and 65+ agility not be able to bring a 200 lb. back down?
Ernie Never has always been a good back. He's been over 7,000 yards total over the past 3 years and averaged over 7 yards a carry, but this was just extreme this year. Last year he broke 136 tackles on 348 carries. This year he broke 370 on 495 and here's a little secret, he did it with under 80 strength.
