Just play some coverage brah
don't even try to fight it just roll with it
Every player except one is standing up in Psycho formation. Go fuck yourself.
I'm sure there is somewhere that lists it specifically, but it pulls from your depth chart. I believe it is players that are listed as backup LBs, safeties, TEs and maybe FBs. Make sure he doesn't appear as a backup at one of the other linebacker spots.
Go talk to FMT, you stupid fuck
lol
Nope. My end is clear. Might have to postpone this or something
So I'm going through and using this XP that I've earned on my young starters and I've come across a situation where I can use the XP but it's not saving when I back out. It's only happening with one player, Courtney Upshaw, who has 4573 XP. I use all but 675 of it on his Awareness raising the rating from 72 to 78. I press O to return to the menu and his available XP is back to 4573 and the Awareness rating is unaltered.
I've done it a few times now, selecting different abilities every time and none of it is sticking. So just a heads up if you notice that you have an absurd amount of XP for one player. The points may not be saving.
Hopefully it'll work itself out when the week advances.
Never mind, I'm an idiot. You have to press the OPTIONS button to confirm that you want to use the points for the ability you've chosen.
I'll do that now. Cheers.
Um we can try

there is no manual blitzing from LB's unless they are on the D-line. the reason is a human player can get the blocker to wonk out or manipulate the "blocking" to allow a free runner. i'm willing to revisit this if people feel that there is nothing cheesy about blitzing an OLB manually but as of right now i group it with manual catching: could be ok but i'd rather not play with that fire.
and brent, i played you a couple times and i never saw you blitz the QB with your OLB. maybe i just missed it but i don't remember seeing that

This is crazy

like i said, give me some feedback on manually blitzing OLB. in years past it was very easy to cheese with it but maybe it has been fixed?
i can test it out later but i also want to hear what others have experienced. i don't want to have so many rules to bog the league down but i also want to minimize cheesing as much as possible

We've had people be absolute terrors with DE's in the past, it would only be worse if these people could do the same with a LB. Plus, it's been like this for YEARS ,why change now?
I usually played the flats or blitzed with them. Sometimes a couple other zones. But so far this year I'm not used to the shitty ice skating defenders so I've just played simpler roles.
Pretty sure a lot of people I played last year played corner blitz and OLB as well. Outside of just playing against the same defense all the time, I dont remember a single issue with people's defense.
I'll gladly play it that way if it's the rule, but what's the reasoning behind no user controlled catches?
I feel like that's the only way you can bail out an off target ball by the QB (something that is more frequently out of user control now according to the devs with the QB accuracy rating)

mostly because it's almost indefensible (even with ballhawk). i played a random against the seahawks and percy harvin turned into prime randy moss because he would throw jump balls up and there was nothing i could do about it.

maybe my receivers are just shit then because I always feel like the D has the edge with the way they can jump routes unrealistically if my QB decides with the roll of a dice to suck at life and throw not in the perfect window

All of mine are set to what CB posted
This could be just FMT's shitty "fios" striking again

that was my bad fellas. apparently my defensive play art was set to off... i swear i don't remember changing that at all but i must have 
stream is back up!
stream is back up!
GG.
Lag was atrocious both games. Dunno what was going on. Completely shanked that FG attempt because of it and it felt like I barely had any control over running :l
I can't stop laughing at this justin verlander picture
By far my favorite picture of the set. What a goof.
Sorry! I'm ready.
The game sometimes picks my plays for me, without me even touching a button and no timer appearing on screen, def. weird.
Anyone wanna run a scrim?!
I feel like there is numerous issues that made rushing the start of the league not worth it.
There are definite ratings changes from whatever roster this was made with and the latest ones. Playing exhibitions and using the ones we had to this first game are terrible.
GG Pistol. Defensive game the first half and then things broke down towards the end. That one INT after the Geno sack hurt.
