Rookie and sophmore blitzing is still great. Especially if you are set up correctly to do so.

Nothing wrong with blitzing, you tried blitzing a team that was specifically built to destroy the blitz. My defenses use blitzes to a high degree of success, you can't just blitz a team and expect it to work. You have to look at the team and see where the best to attack them from, they maybe untouchable in a 3 wr formation but give up a ton of sacks down the middle in a 2 wr formation. Find the weak spots and apply pressure there to correctly run blitzes.

Or you can fix your builds and tactics, blitz in good spots against that same team and come away with 19 hurries 4 sacks and the win:

I bet Harry would look much better this season against us. People aren't gonna get 8+ sacks with the way rattled works. But at 12+ hurries and a couple sacks, they're absolutely impacting the game with the rattled mechanic.

I based my defense around gaming the rattled mechanic, try to force them into passing vs my coverage plays while rattled

this... the attributes/SAs I focused on previously with Haley and Jordan are benefiting me more than ever, even if their sack numbers aren't what they used to be (although I'm sure they will still finish HoF LB top 3 like they always do)

So the trade off is that he is forced to sometimes keep his TE in to block - which cuts his drops from 60 to 6. And this is better for the defense.

You are as dense as he is.



I'll explain it to you:
He said he'd have dropped 60 on you. That means he would have scored 60 points. You're welcome.

The dirty thing is when we hold in the HB and TE from rattled. That single man coverage from Cover 0 becomes 2 double coverages, and one single coverage.

I'm absolutely not liking rattled at all. At the very least, I'd prefer it to only hold in the players I've flagged as eligible in my tactics. For something that was supposed to be a buff to the offense to protect against absurd blitzing, it's worked out to be a pretty big buff to the defense instead IMO. Still a small sample size though, and admittedly I don't have my playbook sorted out yet.

That is about the only part that makes this mechanic interesting at all. Otherwise it is completely useless part of the game imo.
