Was a weird game RNG-wise. I set TRIP HB Pitch Strong at 5 bars (compared to 1 - 3 for all other outside runs)... it should've been called 33% of the time, it was called slightly more than 4% of the time.

My biggest issues are:

Blockers should never turn around or block guys coming off the edge. They should block straight ahead.

Zone is broken. Just go watch my thread about 2 DB Fire Blitz. A DB should never cover a player outside of his zone. FS has no business covering TE across the field. Also, a player should recognize when his teammate is covering a WR and not double cover...they should play smarter.

This might be my biggest complaint. WRs falling down should not catch as many passes as they do. I am sick of watching a WR fall to the ground while making a catch. My DBs have no shot at knocking the ball loose. It happens about half the time. If a player has no points invested in balance, they should drop way more passes while falling to the ground.



This feels a little like bargaining...

up next, depression.

Ah, I thought that was intentional.

Still need to figure out how your QB is built, so I can start doing what your QB is.

I just checked my tactics - turns out I was lying. Was definitely called less than expected but I guess I didn't remember my thought process around that when I did that late at night.

I still need to figure out what you like about my QB, because IMO there's nothing impressive about a 49.5% completion rate... I have an extra S* receiver over you yet have around 8% lower completion rate.

It's the RB Pitches. Your guy is releasing the ball between ticks 21-23. Mine is usually releasing between 24-26.

There's gotta be a build difference.

Just scoped out the QB on my Vet team and he's releasing between ticks 19 (one time, but wow) and 23, usually 22 or 23.

I think it is footwork and quickness. My QB usually does a decent job of releasing pitches before getting sacked.

Man, top 5-7 teams in the tier are ridiculously strong/competitive. Couldn't ask for a more brutal tier as far as differences in strengths/weaknesses and matchups. Makes my job of predictions near impossible.

That will not deter me from playing zone. I will keep using zone until I win a championship...which should be sometime around Vet when my players' builds mature.

As long as you're in PORNs league you're not winning a championship. Even with Ashland folding you're still going to be the 3rd best team in the league; at best.

I am 100% positive it's not quickness related.

It's been a while to see a tier like it. With 8-15 pretty competitive and tough for the top teams to beat too

If napolean folds I hope EZSB joins Alexander. Make it even more a run focused league than it already is. PORN can go somewhere else though thanks

I'd say there's probably a good chance Napoleon folds since there's at least 4 teams folding. Probably more when all is said and done. I'm curious to see where PORN might end up. Patton Alpha would be interesting since you'd then have HAHA, Salty, and PORN all in one division.
