WHERE TO RUN

merry · 07-16-2009, 01:59 AM

Hi,
What is the best direction for your backs to run?
(a) To your offensive line strength
(b) To defensive weakness
(c) Outside
(d) Let the computer decide
(e) Other - explanation follows

There may well be an old thread on this but I could not find it.
Thanks,
Merry

Using Rex is always the best starting point IMO, then tailor it to fit your O-line's strengths and your opponents weaknesses.

I always go 20-20-5-5-5-5-20-20.

Draft guys with high breakaway speed first, speed to outside second.

"run to your line's strength/the defense's weakness" - I don't think the game works that way, so I would steer clear of that strategy.

I wouldn't let the computer decide because it seems like it has your RB plowing up the middle too much. For whatever reason, runs up the middle seem to average less ypc, on the whole, than runs to the outside.

I have to agree 100% here. You will notice a big difference (at least I did) if you use this breakdown on the runs.

Dude, aren't you supposed to be boxed?

Subby · 07-16-2009, 02:20 PM

What did Tormaz do????

stevew · 07-16-2009, 03:07 PM

If Tormaz gets boxed, does Zamrot feel the sting of the boxing as well?

(bad bad, GIJoe joke)

By the way, I love how this title is in ALL CAPS, sort of like it's some doofus who can't decide how to get away from the bear that's chasing him without consulting the forum first.

I have to ask because I have no clue...

What in the world does Boxed mean?

Suspended from the forum. "In the penalty box."

Ah.

I have no idea why anyone would think that of me. I rarely even post here.
