Much better solution...Will be interested to see the limitations.
Perhaps a description of an exploit and a how limiting d-line and LBs will solve the issue in the blocking code?

Won't happen next season. I would say the following season is most likely. Will have to code the limitations and test the various possibilities.

I'm sorry but i STILL don't see the logic behind this. What is the biggest complaint that is causing them to "reserve the right to remove the DPC completely"..
Well I reserve the right to discontinue paying for this game..

The whole thing that stinks the most about this for me is the "high profile" posters making the biggest stink about the DPC are all the guys that rely on superior players to win.
The fact that a guy with me, with a team like mine could go in and beat them, is what is prompting this change.. And that just irks me to no end.
The offenses are already next to impossible to stop if they are the better players.. You could always get around a good defense with the offense being on a bit of an easier path and not having to commit as many SP to their core attributes as the players who often have to defend them.
I just don't see anyone who would agree that the average GLB defense is better than the average GLB offense, and taking away the DPC or even limiting it in trial is absolutely nerfing the defense. I have never used an exploit blitz in my life, but I know that simply zoning a player to the far outside isn't nearly good enough to stop a sweep with a great offensive line, FB, and RB running the play. They make one fake, and they're gone for a 78 yard TD. 20 str/20 blk WRs already block down 50 str CBs for entire play lengths.. and they often manage to get in the way of an unblocked player.
Then the S if he's in a cover 2 scheme, will only get to the RB at best when he's about 3-4 yards downfield, if at all, because of the pathing.
Exploit blitzes should be a huge concern, but removing or limiting the DPC should be a bigger concern for you. I'm not going to make silly idol threats.. I can't say I will stop spending money or playing this game if these changes stick.. but I know I will definitely lose a large part of my competitive drive when it goes back to Season 1-4 HB Slam for 3 yards ball.. or overpowered QB rushing ball.
But then you just go back to making the OLs weaker and nerfing Rushing QBs to oblivion again, right? It's all too cyclical. If you can't get it perfect, all you can do is make it as good as it can be... and the way it was, for me and my experiences, was as good as it has ever been.
I would hope you're not solely balancing this game around the cyber celebs and World League mafias, because they are a ridiculously low percentage and voice of Goal Line Blitz.
