Little Big Boss had an issue with the way I played our game. Felt I blitzed too much, was running some shady shit to try and confuse his OL. There's no question I was running overloads, but I ran overloads in our last game too.
I think the difference was in the way I played the flats. FMT/LBB fucked me up by throwing to the flats repeatedly, so I changed my game plan going into this game and I feel it worked. He did a good job keeping it third and manageable but he missed the flat plays he hit in game one. That was the difference, not my blitzes. See, I sent heat in game 1, but the quick outlet throws were there, and he ripped me up, not tonight. So when he had to make a read, and go downfield, he held on to it and got sacked. He also repeatedly refused to block his HB.
Below is the video of what went down, I'm not hiding shit, never have.

Below is a message sent to me by Big Boss, again, I'm not taking issue with anything he's saying. I ran overload blitzes.
That doesn't explain why on the multitude of those zone 3 blitzes you ran (I just watched the entire game again) that one or more of my linemen is stuck doing nothing (plus my HB when he was on a blocking assignment) in the idle animation, as my right side is having double teams as your DE/LB comes in completely clean and untouched.
Trio Sky, Buck 3 Slant, Will Buck Press 3, Edge Blitz 3, Fire Zone Bluff, Sam Crash 3...
All different plays, almost exact same results of one or more guys in my o-line idling after snap as I get bum rushed.
This isn't cool man, I've never faced anyone else in the league where I had a similar issue to this. That game wasn't fun, I felt like I was playing an online H2H match with you motioning around WR's into specific positions every play and calling an insane number of hot routes to set up specific plays. You did it last game when you ran Z-Spot like 10 times in the 2nd half.
That's not why I play this, I'm not interested in trying to outplay you in the specific, minute, mechanics of madden.
Truthfully, how many times did you just throw blind to the flats? How many times did you try to Aggressive catch? How many times did you actually try to run the ball instead of dropping back to pass? You complain about me running the same plays but all you did was pass pass pass.
Honestly, I'm getting tired too. I ran Z-Spot 4 different ways when we played. The blitz you're complaining about, I manned up the blitzing Jerry Hughes repeatedly on the running back, though I didn't have much success. I wanted you to see the same look and throw it blind, but Jerry wasn't fast enough to keep up, you had a bunch of completions. See you look at the play art and think it's the same shit but it isn't. Just like cover 3 buzz last year. I had a cover 4, cover 3, and cover blitz out of that one play, why do I need to change what's working.
I honestly played straight up sim football, I made a bunch of adjustments and won, but I understand where you're coming from completely. I swear, I didn't play differently, I didn't come into the game thinking I was going to glitch the fuck out of you, I was just going to guard the flats this time.
Pretty sure that was my last game in the league, I don't feel like playing anymore, or rather I do, but too many people catch feelings. I basically only fuck around with Madden, so it's probably best I stop. I'll sleep on it, but I'm pretty sure I'm out. I've had a fun through the years, thanks for running this thing, some good times.
