I wonder if anyone has a dot with 90 jumping and ~7+ in Hurdle.

Could be fun to watch.

ok, after watching some games... seems to me that pitches are worthless again. Safeties reaction is just too perfect. CBs break WR blocks easily as usual and get the HB often and blocking is often more retarded than usual now that defenders reaction is crazy good.

Anyone who paid attention last season could already notice the late season tilt towards short passing and run heavy offenses.. This is just further pushing us down that road


On the bright side QBs might start completing 60% passing...just not if they throw deep all the time (or they'd better be perfectly built for it & facing teams that are not built perfectly to defend it).

I never had a problem with the yards or points (generally)...just how they came. I'd rather we have to adjust to different teams without completely making your team incapable of stopping anything else. Thats kinda the way I felt about the S30 sim...just go vanilla so you can give up 30 ish points rather than roll the dice & (potentially) give up 80.

Its not insta reactions to the runs. They slowly creep up in the zone and then attack, its not read pitch and sprint at HB. This is what happens when the number of defenders on that side out number the amount of blockers. WR blocking is a grey area for me because they should be able to somewhat block but at the same time they all have 8 blocking and probably 40-60 strength if that. Why they should be able to engage and sustain a block all the time isn't quite realistic.

Looks to me like FB lead blocking still isn't 100%

Yeah the FB is the issue in most cases still. They dont do a good job of finding the "threat" to the HB.

- Nerfed pump fake, buffed look off. Pump fake won't work against man any more except in the earliest few ticks of the play when they are still "facing" forward.

This REALLY shits on every pocket passer build out there. Pretty much makes that archtype unusable.

The nerf wasn't too significant to me when watching the test server...

Also im glad they finally removed the ability to pump fake a guy in man coverage, that was just way to unrealistic.

hardly, once route running fakes became dominant, pump fake was the least of the effective fakes, it will still work vs zone which is what it should do, but pump fake and lookoff are going to be very similar now

It still makes deep passer the only choice.

because of 2 favored SA's that you can easily get to 10 with AEQ? I dont understand why you think that

Because when pump fake worked against man coverage it gave you an option. Who thinks confidence and now no extra beneficial SA is better then strength?

Yes it does make sense but there are lots of things in this game that dont make sense when compared to real football.

Pump fake working against man coverage made the bonus you receive make pocket passer viable. It's now not viable. They really might as well get rid of it.

Bort just forcing you to get Pump Fake + Look Off to have the same effectiveness as we're used to. Couldn't just buff look off and leave pump fake as is cuz that would prob be too powerful and taking away from man just makes sense.

Want to fake zone defenders = pump fake , look off
Want to fake man coverage = WR route run fakes

btw the only time I seen look off work before is vs DE's in flat zones

Deep guy only gets in one play. Pitch fail had nothing to do with deep zones.
