So let me get this straight...

1. The DL will be in a fixed position, never changing?
2. The LB's will be positioned in 3 pre-defined spots, Weak-Normal-Strong?
3. The LB's will all the same options as they do now as far as who they cover or blitz, but have to do it from one of the pre-defined spots?
4. The CB's & Safeties will be untouched as far as where they can be positioned, but the Safeties will have a little freedom of starting position?

If this is true, people will find which inside running plays take advantage of holes in the DL and will slam away getting 3+ every carry, probably more.


ala season 19, where ya been?

Figured someone would say something, but with this current season, you could adjust your defense to plug holes to keep the gains somewhat limited, where on this new one you can't.

From what I read, if you are not blitzing the LBs you can position them anywhere. If you are blitzing them it has to be from a pre-defined spot. Which makes no sense but.......

The Dline has preset positions also (I think)

If you can only blitz LB's from pre-defined spots, what would stop someone from using the Dime instead of the 4-3 and just blitz their safeties from where the OLB's would normally blitz, and use the extra CB's where you would normally use the safeties?

if a LB'er is not blitzing, they have free movement for their positional alignment (can't move a ROLB to the strong side just like now).

Basically there are five shifts possible for the DL - Strong, Balanced, Weak, Bunch, Spread. You can not move DL players.

There are three shifts possible for LB - Strong, Balanced, Weak. You can move LB'ers freely (on the side they are positioned) as long as they are not blitzing. If they are blitzing, their alignment is fixed.

Secondary players (FS/SS) have limitations as to how close they can be to the line of scrimmage when inside the tackle box. Their is expanded movement for the FS (can move farther to the strong side).

OK, what Catch says isn't too bad. I think they just want to stop people from creating high strength LB's and use them as additional DL. Not sure how many people blitz their LB's in PW, probably more of a upper league issue. So if you don't blitz your LB, there is basically no change.

With 5 spots for the DL, much like Madden, there is enough change where people can customize plays enough where no two coaches will have plays that are too similar. Plus it makes strategy more important as you have to factor in the position of your DL when is specific situations.

I think it will probably take more skill to do this new DPC than the old style as you have fixed positions for the DL, but multiple options, and picking the right one at the right situation will take skill. Sure it's easy to pick bunch on a 4th & 2, but then smart OC's will just bounce things outside. This should make things interesting...

For me as long as I can put my LB's (if they're not blitzing) & FS & SS where I want, this isn't a huge deal.

I might have preferred the DL in slightly different positions, but as long as you can move the LB to adjust that's not huge.

The exploit blitzes aren't nearly as huge of a deal at PW. There were a few things you could do that would get better pressure, but not like the upper leagues. In the upper leagues if you had a guy with a ton of stacked SA's & VA's you could position them in a way to tackle the QB before he could even hand the ball off. Our guys are just to slow.

pure strength LBs weren't good enough in season19 to match up against the Oline anywayz, so this DPC change won't change the fact that strength LBs as Dline suck already! ...it's forced me to change my whole peewee D structure for season20! ...now I can be like the rest of you DC clones

I am actually hoping this new DPC helps get rid of the DC clones. Many of them find the perfect spot for their DL and use that same spot in nearly every play for that set. Well with the DL now on pre-defined spots, so not ideal, DC's will need to mix things up more to stop people from finding holes that the new DL alignment might create.
