There's always a chance in dotball. I barely beat most of those teams. You just need to be aggressive in the first quarter because I run a slow starter team. If you play conservative then you've got to deal with a team that has +4 to +6% on all attributes in the fourth quarter... a team that has had 3 quarters of auto adjust to find the plays that were working, so once the 4th quarter hits the team will have decent play selection and an attribute advantage. If Slow Starter and Streaky combine on my speedster WRs then you are going to have to deal with a WR with 151 speed, 95 agility, and 83 catching instead of 136 speed, 85 agility, and 75 catching. If the game is already in hand, you can use extra protection over the top to prevent those long throws, but if the game is close you get stuck with screens, QB runs, long throws, short throws, and sweeps.
My team has outscored opponents 137-16 in 4th quarters this season because of slow starter + auto adjust at the input and package levels.
I'm not really a good OC or DC, I just find plays that generally work for my team against other teams in general and I let auto adjust find the plays that work based on how streaky happens to be firing for my team that day.
tbh I am probably the worst OC here, I use to do it alot more back around seasons 10-15 then thought I was done, then I got seriously back into it after buying this team and got overwhelmed with all the changes and new plays. Feel like all I do is set an AI due to the team I face rather then set it to my teams strength, hell I don't even know if I am even doing that correctly. We had one of the best defenses the past two seasons, but I am sure teams were still not afraid of us because I couldn't run up the score, I kept alot of teams in the game even back then.
