I believe its the highest level team in terms of being built to run zone. we may have to wait a bit to really see.

I give my team 1 more season. Journeyman. If zone still sucks I'll .... just stick with it even more

- QBs now have a "rattled" mechanic. The more often you are getting hurried and sacked, the more rattled your QB becomes. The more rattled the QB, the more likely he is to hold in blockers regardless of blitzers.


Pretty worried that this mechanic is going to end up limiting the playbook just as bad as Middle Overload by the end of the season.

I'm fairly certain air raid will run some zones this season when adder gets the itch to see how they look. We're reasonably built to do it with some effectiveness. I'm not back from vacation though, so haven't been much help with quick scrims for testing. Not paying 50 fp to struggle to watch Sims on my phone

Wow how strong did pass power become in the pass quality / anti-pd roll, jesus christ...

I saw it coming, been pumping up the pass power of my qb for the last bit of season 4. So many people neglecting pass power are gunna feel it.

I had 25~ pass power I think for the last two seasons (ints only rising a little bit from last years coverage changes) and bumped it up to 40 this offseason when I read said change thinking that would be good enough to more or less maintain performance.

It seems like you need to have 60+ pass power to get quality high enough to make it even a moderately difficult roll. CB's with no real interception stat are getting multiple ints a game from "low" pass power QB rolls. I am pretty sure I have the highest non-pass power throwing stats in Journey across the board which makes the effect more glaring for me.

Fun Time just beat LSP running literally no linebackers and just playing cover all game to force 2 ints (again from non interception players).

It seems like this is exactly what is going to have to happen. I can throw boring outside curl routes all day if that's the only play that gets enough consistent seperation to not allow the CB regular chances at the anti-pd roll (since that's so garbage now) but I hate when the game is like that for entire seasons at a time.

Anything that puts trailing CBs in the path of the ball now after the WR/TE cuts seems like a garbage play, why take the risk anymore

Actually laggo your not that far off from my qb about 15 points of passing power difference. He looked solid in the scrim this morning so 50-55 may be the magic number for journeyman.

Nelly is an interception player.
