thats fine, I had cut it to a two score lead just minutes before and was kicking onside kicks, I've got no problem with someone still scoring if the opposition is still trying.. Im either having a really hard time adjusting to EQ or the new update.. not sure which.
I think they went overboard with the new stats on the DB's.. when I went for it on 4th and you were in a punt return Defense and I sent Driver on a deep route and somehow your guy STILL broke up the pass I was a little pissed. The rest of my trouble was me going for routes that used to work that dont anymore or my O-line going into retard mode.
Also, I guess it doesnt hurt as much with EQ on, but McKenzie isnt on the Packers in this update. Being one of the better defensive players on the team, that really sucks.. I guess its due to his holding out on his contract till the last second.

No, most of my o-line probelms were the result of guys pulling off the line as though they were run blocking.. I had O-lineman peeling off and letting guys through so that they could head to the other side of the line to block... which is what happens on all of my Power-O runs. They were doing it with an empty backfield however... the Packers have one of the top O-lines in the NFL and they still go into retard mode at times.
As far as giving up on the run.. I did give up a little early but most of it was because I saw massive holes in your defense.. but the DB's recover much quicker now and broke most of them up. I still cant decide if they recover TOO fast yet, and their tackling against RB's still sucks.

Thanks I know what a zone defense is.. I was a wide reciever for 10 years of my life (If you let me count Pee Wee). To be fair I didnt actually get the ball much because we were an option/modified wishbone team so I was much more of a downfield blocker most of the time (I grew up in one town, we ran the same offense from Pee Wee football through High School), but I still no how to read a defenses cover package (well, after the ball snaps, I allways fall for disguised blitz's or zones before the snap). Radomness: We had a play in the playbook that called for an end around where I threw the ball to the QB after a fake slot reverse to the opposite WR. We only ran it ONCE and they put in the JV QB in my position to do it.. tellegraphing your trick plays never works.. it was intercepted.
I was calling slant routes or come backs over the middle as well as a few wheel routes that were specifically attacking the gaps in the zone. By the time the ball got there my guy had been bent over by one guy and summarily raped by another. In the case of the slant routes about half the time my guy got bumped off his route and just started running some other route.. I think the DB's needed to be fixed (especially their speed) but they need to improve route running as well. I had guys turning the wrong way on comeback routes, and had one player on a stop and go that stopped and then didnt go.
(In fact, at one point I called a crossing route over the middle with my two TE's (I was in Jumbo) and they ran into each other).
At the same time, the zone still lets people get behind it. Zone or not, if you are a saftey NO ONE gets behind you. I had several big plays towards the end where your Safteys would just let Chatman (CHATMAN!) get by them. However, they can now run the WR's down from behind so it didnt result in a TD (another big complaint, even on what SHOULD be a TD pass DB's can come from 10 yards back to catch a WR).
