First off, this is cover 3 so the zones moving was actually pretty good.

Second, The LE and RE look to overlap with the qb during this play and there is no sack. Are we to assume that if a dot completely covers another dot on the sim that they at least touched? Did he give him a good game butt pat or brush his hair out of the way so he could see better on this long throw?

Third, the WR is in the endzone not moving and they can't figure out how to cover him. I know we've gone over the endzone bug, but I thought this was getting looked at. Also, the ball is 'thrown low' so are we to assume the fs was sitting right there on the play, the ball goes right by him and he doesn't attempt a catch or deflection?

This isn't a complaint thread or a OMG the sim is broken thread and no, I don't know which issue I'm concerned with, but I think somebody should see the play just because a lot of things happened that I don't think are good for the game.

nice

I don't really see anything wrong with the play. Yeah it would suck to have it happen to me, but that's the breaks sometimes. 3 man front, pocket forms and holds long enough to throw a deep bomb, on a play where the FS was initially pump faked and never recovered. He actually appears to make a little move towards an intercept point near the end.

The WR is still moving, and the CB was on him fine. This really isn't the end zone bug as I know it.

I'm not posting this for any other reason than it should be looked at.

1. It did look good.

2. That looked like a well blocked pocket and the QB moved around inside of it as well. I never saw the QB dot and a DE dot overlap or walk through one another.

3. The coverage looked pretty good on WR1. The FS did a little something weird at the end, but it could of been caused by many things. I don't think the Pump Fake affected anything other than early route coverage. I'm pretty sure that WR was a slower WR probably with some possession type attributes (jumping, catching, strength). The question is, can two defenders miss a deflection and a WR catch the ball in the same play? Of course. And after all.. He's the power archetype.

He probably beasted that TD. Note if you watch again neither the CB or FS had any issues with staying with this guy. I think he's got high jumping and catching, higher than normal, and probably some more Strength to help fight off the CB's.

NOT LIKELY A BUG

Also, and this is for bhall, please notice the frozen lazer beam after the WR underneath puts up the "I'm Open" icon

Pwned is right on the first account for sure.
When you cram that many dots into one place there is no way to know who is near what. This is just visual. Unless you can see for sure one of those O-Lineman fall down, we have to assume they are blocking the defenders and the QB is untouched.

Throwing a ball low and to one side is generally accepted as a way to keep defenders from getting deflections. Not just in dotball but irl as well. There is no way to tell if the FS/CB couldn't make it low enough in time, they were looking at the WR instead of the ball, or if the ball just missed both their fingertips.

Both these just seem like issues about what you can't see in dotball that can occur in a sim.

That's a bug that has been recently re-opened http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4145395

As for the rest of it, I agree with the other guys. There's no way to know the pass rushers weren't getting blocked in that mass of dots, and the receiver just made a play. Closing as not a bug.
