6 sacks,under 50% completion and less than 100 net yards. He did lead the team with a whopping 13 yards rushing. Blech.
My team stats are so skewed. I need a bounce back game against the Vikings.
For some reason my D has your team's number. I almost felt like P Willis was playing for me.

That's a special feeling
I think I had issues against it last year too. My offensive line can't handle your defensive line.
I'm really torn on what my team needs more, another quality line man or a receiving threat opponents respect.
Hope the NCAA guys are paying attention. It's a problem there, too.

Oh shit, what might this be?

gg sok. Didn't want the last part to look cheesy or anything but I guess it did come across as it. I wanted to run another defensive play.
I saw the bs that I was talking about happen to you. It happened when I threw to my FB who was doing the angle play. Your MLB was right there but the ball just soared past him without an attempt at a swat or anything. That happens to me a lot.
I think I was playing some good D for a bit there but then I just started getting worked by Harvin again. Comeback routes still destroy me. As does blitzing lol.

Whelp, there goes my competitive edge.
It's good for the league. It'll make drafting more difficult, but it'll help the league grow. The posts about defense will make you better as well as the people it's intended for since you'll get better games out of them.
Don't worry, though. Players will still slip. We'll still have stubborn Davises who think that speed is the most important thing or guys that think AWR trumps all. You'll still get your gems.
Go ahead and take that 99 speed WR. I'll scoop that stud WR with 88 speed.They made kicking harder. FIX THE SLIDERS AFTER THE PATCH!No injury fix
I'll play again if you want to! You send me the invite this time for home field.
I knew I would say that!
okay now I gotta shut off the neogaf page so this game doesnt drop!

These are the biggest changes:
- Fixed an issue where playing the game on All-Madden is too easy.
- Fixed an issue where League Sliders had limited impact on difficulty.
All-Pro with harder sliders (lower QB Accuracy, et cetera) is more viable now.
Sorry to all of the dudes in the league who are throwing picks, it's getting worse now that All-Madden is having the bullshit coefficient tweaked more.
- Fixed an issue where someone who attempted to bull rush with the R stick once the ball was snapped activated run commit.
D-line play is back for those who enjoy such things.
Connected Careers Edit Player: Added the ability to edit gear and information for players in a league.
This is cool, I'm glad this is in.

They really are terrible in some respects.

I think we can look at difficulty and sliders once the changes are implemented
Impact Blocking, bro.

Those are worthless for a human qb
Yeah, I figured as much.
I am, however, saving up so that everyone on my team is a "clutch player!!"
My favorite one is the "Don't Force It." Prevents your QB from throwing into double coverage!
I just bought the Consistency package for my QB. Hopefully I didn't waste 10k exp... I assumed it would help at making his throws more consistent. Who knows though.
I hope what consistency does is make him more inflexible to Hot/Cold Streaks
Well I'll just get the decent WR with 95 speed. Best reason for drafting players with high speed is that it's practicably impossible to make a slow player fast.Don't worry, though. Players will still slip. We'll still have stubborn Davises who think that speed is the most important thing or guys that think AWR trumps all. You'll still get your gems.
I get depressed trying to make Taylor Mays useful in coverage. in the 50's for both Play Recognition and Awareness
Seems accurate to me.
Whelp, there goes my competitive edge.
Most of this info is in the scheme stuff now anyhow.

Perfectly called screen involves no defenders in the flat, what you described is a coin flip of a play for everyone.
Hey could you guys check your back-up quarterbacks, as in, guys who have never taken the field ever and post how much XP they have (and if you complete practice every week and at what point value).
Also include what your coach type is and if you've spent any Coach XP boosters on your QBs:
Only include players you haven't spent ANY XP on.
(Reason: LJ and I are trying to figure out why his QBs aren't getting points and mine are)
Format:
Colts - Chandler Harnish 13.5k XP, 1800 pt practice each week, Strategist

My team is going to be awful for a while.
Seems like my XP isn't getting assigned properly. Practice every week, haven't touched TJack, dude has 3175. I'm always getting minimum 1800 in practice, haven't touched TJack at all.
Was wondering how some of you were pulling down these crazy XP numbers. Chose a motivator. Whatever.

coach xp (1800) is separate from player xp. Motivator isnt the xp bonus, thats strategist, and it only makes the xp boost packages cheaper, xp does not automatically accumulate faster.
P willis is going to earn xp fast because he has "superstar" development speed, whereas Tjack is probably normal or slow.
Erm, I throw way too many ints. I've got 25. I'm 4th on the list behind Ryan, Locker, and Rodgers. But I have been trying some new things in these two games. I'm not going to get my hopes up though, since I saw some passes that would've been picked off if our defenses CPU weren't reacting so slow.
On defense, I have been choosing some new plays that I would've never ran before. They seem to be working to some degree.
I don't know though. Like I said, I do decent in community games but then CCM just blows everything up. That game actually looked like a real game stat wise. I had 16 rush attempts with Morris for 99 yards! I've always been able to run in community games but not CCM
It's my experience that practice XP definitely goes to players, I believe that it calls out in a given scenario in the selection screen which ones just benefit the coach. No clue how guys are getting it other than practice on my team, because these dudes (back-up QBs, fourth string running backs) aren't seeing the field at all.
