Vet QBs don't get sacked, only sometimes in very long situations, and its probably a 3-4 3 tiger blitz, of course i'm exagerating when i say this, its not like 0% sack rate, but pass rushing isn't relevant.
I'm not saying passing is OP, i'm saying pass is unrealistic, problematic, bugged, kinda boring...
GLB2's sack rate is pretty much on par with the NFL though. Empire has 5.45 sacks a game, Alaska is at 4.95/game, and Dream 4.4/game. In fact, 13 teams average over 2 sack/game and that's in a league where teams rush most of the time. Grizzly Bear has 51 sacks and 27 FF. I have two non S* DEs that get a sack or hurry nearly a quarter the time a QB drops back.
Biggest issue I see from Vet defenses is that teams tend to run plays that don't yield sacks(which isn't a bad thing necessarily, many prefer to play the run). Make builds that really aren't going to get to the QB often. And use tactics like elusive on blitzers(can't count how many times I see this). We had 3 sacks on Denali last game and he had been sacked only once all season before that. I'm sure Grizzly Bear would be saying Hi to Denali if their offense faced their defense.

Rushing high YPC its an illusion, i don't think that any top vet team lost to rushing when we were there, at least all our losses were to passing or turnovers, AND our defense couldn't force fumbles at all, 0 monster hits, low power tackling, a power hiting defense against a power rushing HB, its not even a game, if i ran against BB i would lose, couldn't even HB screen.Well, Dream has lost two games just this season where we were up 31-3 and 28-7 to powerback who literally couldn't be tackled all second half long by our 90 power defenders, lol. Don't get me wrong, I hear were you're coming from, sometimes its tough watching a QB carve up your defense, but that's almost always due to defensive coverage and/or builds.
Look at it this way, out of the Top 25 players in Vet....only 5 are QBs and 16 are HBs.

And two of those 5 QBs are Dual Threats. Can't say I've ever feared a QB outside of Denali before. Nor has any heavy passing team really worried me except Alaska and the Deadites. NPW threw a lot, but Messi is who I feared.
