The "global" part is the issue. You shouldn't be able to achieve so much on defense by using/holding one button. This isn't necessarily your fault so much as it is EAs...but if we are in a sim league it can (and has) become an issue.

Again I ask if there is even a definite answer as to whether it exists. After years of xp and progression maybe defense have just gotten better overall.

Ballhawk definitely exists, making the play isn't the problem. But this is a sim league. When do you see LBs run out of bounds in the NFL? You are so focused on getting the ballhawk to work you aren't focusing on the user-defenders responsibility (run to where the ball was thrown/caught). This isn't a big deal imo. Ballhawk just needs to go, until then DBs are gonna be cheesey.
It does exist, Rors and I tested it out in an online game and I've also used it a lot in my single player franchise. I see my AI players go and try to catch out of bounds balls when I hold Y but they never do it when I don't hold it down
I guess building your D around only forcing fumbles is pretty sim, right?
It was a deep pass. I usually just watch the play unfold. Perhaps I left my thumb on the left stick and he ran out of bounds. I just don't see how people get worked up over a LB running out of bounds.

Yeah, honestly it's a ridiculous thing to complain about.

Yeah, it is!
Last year when i was the jags i had to put up with luke, smokes, and pheenix
I think the main complaint is that someone is holding Y when they're not even close to playing the ball, unless he was controlling the player that went out of bounds? I don't even know what's going on. It is kind of cheap to be using ballhawk globally instead of just when you're the one controlling the player going for an int. Not saying Crow was doing that, though

Ball hawk could easily be worked around by banning the switching to dbs in the air. You let the computer go for it just as we do on offense. The only time you should be able to use y is if you are the one manually controlling the defender.
Edit but I guess if simply holding down y effects the closest defender regardless then fuck

How could you ever know if some1 was holding Y or not? Without video replay it's not an enforceable ban.
And it won't say "user pick" either.
But then you'd never get any picks
I'm saying you can tell what player somebody is controlling. If you are playing FS then that's the only person you can control during that possession versus switching to the closest defender when the ball is in the air and try and ball hawk.
But like I said if bh works regardless of where you are on the field and you just hold y then fuck ea
Did you know that I went for it on 4th down and eznark didn't cry about it like a giant vagina?
Exactly. And why is it crazy to think that a CB can recover and still make a play on a deep pass by himself. Look at any of my CBs and you'll find they all have high mcv, prc, and speed. Maybe the pass wasn't perfect or the receiver messed up his route. I don't know.
Manual picks are an extension of ball hawk.
Sure they are....but we have a few people who like to run the same play many times in a game. Or on the same drive. I'm glad I have assistance if someone wants to run TE Vertical Shake for 1/3 of their plays so that I can ball hawk the tight end's bullshit route.
I think the most annoying crimes are when DBs warp over your WR but I think we have all played this enough to know we can't chance some things.
Ez has accepted his fate in the basement of the league.
Your track record in m13 would suggest maybe you should do the same

Here is the first post where I mentioned it and the post immediately after it.
Force fumbles aren't figured in the same way, I have not really chased POW all that much this year.
I put it together after playing the Saints one year. I noticed that they A) forced an abnormal amount of fumbles and B) injured an abnormal amount of players. What better way to give myself a competitive advantage than to take out the opposition's ball carriers, I thought. I put it in practice and it was pretty fun, however they all individually sucked so much that it wasn't prudent to use all of those high hit power guys together at the same time. It was like Taylor Mays, Rey Maualuga, Keith Rivers, and a couple of Madden 12 draft class beasts. I played a lot of Big Nickel to get a high POW safety in the game too. It was fun just trying to mash guys.
Unfortunately the game doesn't work the same way this year.

I do, let me make a snack.
You think I have all day, that I just do nothing all day but sit here waiting for people to play madden?
Because I don't! I played AT LEAST two hours of Suikoden II today.

I called it, Soka. @IND next week.
I heard shit about Crow going into our first game, none of what I heard was present, I thought he played a straight up game. Had a good play that worked out of a trips formation, conceptually the play worked as it should in the NFL, but it could be overly effective, didn't think much of it, no different than some other plays in this game.
Our second game was a bit different. His secondary was hawking all over the place, pretty sure he was holding Y, I'm not sure about his intent. One throw in particular comes to mind, squeezed into triple coverage, but my guy was wide open when I threw. Deep throw, every DB in the area peeled off and they all converged, it was nuts.
If he knew what he was doing he's a bitch, if not now he does and he can just hit/hold Y when he's actually in position instead of running around holding it.
I also noticed the circle movement but it was with his S, he was playing a deep half, not a LB. Only issue was Y, hard to judge intent.
The Y thing ticked me off a bit, but honestly, I may have had worse done to me this year.
So far this year, I think the only guy's I've been cheap with is FMT and maybe Crow. Crow likes his Nickel and Dime to stop the run, that's fine I've got a few plays that takes advantage of it and I want him out of that package so I'll punish an opponent until he gives me the look I want. Same thing with FMT, I ran a play repeatedly to punish his man coverage and get him to play zone. Same thing with Luke the other night, I'll run the same play until you change your D.

I just meant in general. With the Bengals you built a similar type team. I like the idea of it and tried my own.
