Read option is stoppable, QB wrap is broken.




Vumpler had a bunch of different teams. One of the worst seasons was when he was Cinci with Palmer, Housh and Ocho Cinco.

Can you define stoppable?

When the old Pats book had two WRs screens on opposite sides and an HB direct snap in the same formation all three were stoppable, but combine all three with a couple of pass plays and you're going to have problems. They were just over effective, having all three in the same formation didn't help matters.

For the record, I don't know if it is or isn't, haven't played many random games like I did in the past, league only for the most part.

I've only started getting big plays out of the read option in the past two games. Before that Tebow was averaging around 5 ypc. If I have to stop running it I will. I don't even run it until I have a decent enough lead. I was up 21-0 before I put Tebow at QB. i primarily use it run the clock down.

I've been running the read option play a decent amount since the end of last season and its been roughly a bit more successful than normal running plays. I've been tackled for losses, or short gains. Even when I make the right read it doesn't go for a TD or big yards every time.

I'm pretty sure that my longest run with Russell Wilson came on a QB sneak and not an option play.

It seemed like there was almost an over-acceleration the times you kept it with the QB, kind of like when a defensive player is moving when the ball is snapped. It felt like Wilson was already past the LOS right after he kept the ball.

Might be because Wilson is faster because Tebow can't get past anyone if they are in a position to make a play.

Wilson is only carrying about 3 times a game and has only topped 20 yards once, and that was when I got a weird 42 yard TD run on a QB sneak. His next longest run is 17 yards.

He has 86 speed, and 92 acceleration.

Halo 4 numbers way down from Reach. Adios Halo.

Reach did 3.3 million first month, Halo 4 did between 3-3.3 million (no exact number yet). Hard to say way down...down yes, but it also went up against AC3 the week before and BO2 the week after.

That game needed heavy 3rd party support to ever come close to having a good roster. Spyro or Cloud or one of the Resident Evil characters. Fucking big daddy? Lol

And fucking CRASH BANDICOOT.

they tried to get some of the characters and either it wasn't financially feasible to get them or they were shut down. activision owns spyro/crash, square owns cloud, etc. they also wanted to do the wanderer and/or ICO but team ico didn't approve and sony didn't want to piss them off.

the gameplay i love but they really did a piss poor job with the menus and little extras. there was also no marketing for the game. not sure what sonys internal expectations were for sales but they didn't do the game any favors by delaying it a couple months and still giving it no marketing. oh well!

If you can't get those guys then you just don't make the game. When you have 2 damn Coles and big daddy trying to fill out a small roster, its already a failure.
 
There is no reason for regular Cole to even exist. And nothing says "play station" like Big Daddy.

evil cole is fucking awesome in the game but regular cole is lame. they should have made them the same character but done a zombie zangief type thing where you could transform into the other!

Oddly I heard that Solid Snake was a playable character. Dunno what happened there.

Yeah, don't want to piss off Team Ico, otherwise they might not release The Last Guardian.
