It is intentional that Central has mostly CPUs.
Do 29 QB carries (plus 3 kneeldowns), 34 HB carries, and 10 passes really count as QB rollout spam? We don't even use the same formations over and over. I'm slightly offended because I'm really happy with how this offense has worked with only 7 non-CPUs.
This is actually the first time I've ever used QB runs at all. Not to sound too much like GE, but I'm really liking how the offense plays with that extra dimension as a major threat. Too bad it gets a lot harder to maintain after Rookie.

Tell me about it...
See: WCM
I'm trying to figure out a power rushing QB build that will work through Vet. I think I'm close.

Should we say the only effective portion of your offense was the QB runs? Your outside runs by HB's averaged 2.45 ypc, compare that with your QB and it's a massive difference.
There's nothing wrong with spamming something that works. If it works in Rookie, use it.
Check out the Virgins in Veteran. They've had some good success with their rushing QB.

I felt like my Rookie kicker has been worse than usual, so checked out his production compared to previous of my kickers. Same build, same SP expenditure for all 3, but here's how my kickers have done historically in Rookie:
Player 1
40 of 59, 67.8%
Player 2
20 of 47, 42.5%
Player 3
17 of 44, 38.6%
The big difference is Player 1 went 22 of 28 from the 30-39 range, compared to 6 of 20 for Player 2 and 5 of 20 for Player 3. So random.
Anyone got a consistent Rookie kicker strategy that's operating better than the dumb luck I've been doing?

If you copied your tactics from your previous Vet team, you should probably adjust the distance settings.

No I don't feel bad at all for using QB runs in Rookie. They clearly are the most effective part of our offense right now.
But to me the word "spam" has a pretty negative connotation (cheapness) and I don't care for it. I think it was appropriate back when people ran goal line QB rollouts 50 times per game. It was a little cheap because it took advantage of goal line defenses.
What we do is mix about a half dozen different QB runs with inside/outside HB runs and passing. You chose (or didn't gameplan probably) not to defend the most dangerous part and got burned by it. It's no different than facing a passing team or an outside HB running team and not taking away what they do best. Is every team that does something 20-30 times per game (so basically every team) spamming that thing?
If you had schemed to take away QB runs, our other options would have probably been a little more effective. Inside + offtackle runs averaged 4 ypc btw. I think that counts as effective.
