It's not possible to have both your CBs cover WRs sometimes, it depends purely on what play the offense calls and there's nothing you can really do about it. That's why I was bitching about it a while ago, it breaks the defense.

Sometimes I've had luck with either pressing, backing off, or doing man-align. The guy just finds his way over. I've also audibled into man or hybrid man D's that have the guy lined up correctly at the LOS. It's a pain in the ass, just have to recognize it quickly. I don't remember seeing a matchup problem against you other than the one in which you called a TO.

Without actually scrolling over to the person and controlling them, how do you guys actually know who is on who? I have a 65 inch TV in 1080p and can't hardly read the number on the players. Even then I don't have every player's number memorized.

I'm sort of confused by what you're referring to.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
maybe this is why they create so many fast coverage LBs in the draft classes...

By just looking at the screen, and not highlighting the player, how do you know what defender is covering what receiver. I mean, I can see the lines when I pull the trigger but I wouldn't really know if it's Flowers or Carr or Hali or whoever unless I hold B and put the icon under them. I wish is pulled up the last names of the defenders/receivers when you pulled the trigger.

Typically if it's an LB that lines up over a WR they slide over when you get to the LOS so I can usually see them sneak over.

Yeah, I've seen this before.

I'm so used to having it break on me that I pay close attention now when the huddle is broken and I can tell whether it's an LB moving to cover twins or the CB from the other side.

Ooooh okay. Yeah I agree with the bolded part. I sort of just know who I have covering someone when I choose the play only because I never do any of the sub packages or swap the corners and such so whenever they break out of the huddle my corners are usually on the same side as always as well as my linebackers. It does become an issue when my defense has been on the field after awhile because I forget who's been subbed out for a break and such. If I start using sub packages, which I've never thought about doing, then I can see it being more of an issue.

If you can get it on PC there shouldn't be a thought process on which version to go with.

Of course. I was inferring that I'm assuming my PC doesn't have the horsepower to play BF3 like it was meant to be played. Still on a Core2Duo with a Radeon HD4950 or some shit. :/

This is my main problem with it, but whatever.

No one answered my question about man defense either, is it not possible to get your other CB to cover a twins formation? Does Tiburon even know this problem exists, or that man lock is broken? I'd like to see these fixes in a patch instead of reducing the frequency of rain games in franchise mode.
Click to expand...
I noticed it only happens with certain blitzes, but I'm using 4-3. I don't know how it works in 3-4. You could just try man locking at the beginning of the game.

Yep, bad decision plus a little lag and bang, that's the game changer.

GG man. You had me biting my nails on that last drive of yours. I was fortunate and guessed right on that pick. You had been killing me with those slants on the left side, so I thought that there would be a good chance you'd go in that direction again. Thankfully it didn't doink off my defender's hands.

Was it the Trips wideout slant to the inside guy?

There was the one where I called a TO, and two other instances where Harrison was lined up against Green, I know you saw it one time, because you hiked it pretty quickly and forced it to him even though I took Foote towards him at the beginning of the play. :p

I think it has a lot to do with how many passing yards I've given up, I stay away from man 95% of the time because I know I'll have a slow OLB matched up against a WR. Then throw in the abysmal pressure I get, and people just wait for their WRs to outrun my zone.

Another question, in the 2-4-5, Harrison is basically a DE, am I allowed to control him on a pass rush?

If I understand it right, as long as the player is lined up in a 3 point stance you're okay. So if he really is a DE like Wake is in some of the nickels, then you're good or I may have broken some rules.

He's not in a 3 point stance, but him and Woodley are basically DE's in every 2-4-5 formation unless I audible them into coverage. The reason I ask is because they line up basically right in front of the OL, so it's not like they're off the line and I can just go around easily, I would still have to perform moves to get by.

Thought if they're right on the line they'd automatically be in the 3 point unless you put him in that gap or something. Not sure on this tho. Try moving them up a little bit closer to the OL?

i have the same set. you can use the player if he is in the 3 point stance. sometimes i have to manually change to the DE and move him more inside and closer to the tackle and he will get in the 3 point stance.

as a rule of thumb: if the defender is not in a 3 point stance, you can't manually blitz the QB with him.


in other news, i have attempted to sync since yesterday. yesterday it said "syncing is down for maintenance" and now it just times out. so.... yeah

From Uncharted IGN (lol) review:

When I rant about why Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is better than just about anything on the market -- about why I think it's my new favorite game of all time -- I don't talk about the firefights, the new ability to throw grenades back at enemies or collecting the game's 101 well-hidden treasures. I talk about the heart-wrenching section where Drake is by himself and completely lost. He's on his last legs, he's desperate, and I'm right there with him. I'm pushing him through the journey at hand and it's clear that it's a game, but as he stumbles, seeks shelter and loses hope, my heart breaks.

This is some Charmin soft embarrassing type shit right here.
