Help me understand this game
I've logged 100 hours or so in this game, and still have no idea what ratings matter or trigger results. I can't put together any sort of defense (I can grab elite DBs, but still get torched in the passing game... I can get elite pass rushers and get no pressure). I can't read the play by play data (How can I give up long plays and everybody gets a +++... why are there even 3 pluses? Do they have +--??)
I've made manual gameplans, I've rexed gameplans... I have teams that win but I still don't really understand why. I feel like theres a ton of ratings, but I have no idea what half of them actually do? What does play recognition do for a safety? What is getting downfield vs route running vs big play ability? What is "avoid drops" ---> i have guys with a good rating drop balls all the time? What is "adjust to ball" ... is that deep passes? Every pass? What is accuracy and timing? How is "accuracy" different then the range level ratings? What is breakaway speed, vs speed to outside? Elusiveness vs Power Running (I understand how they are different in life, but how do they impact the game) Do the combine numbers matter to veteran players (like a universal modifier to the ratings?) or is it just a random numbers? What is pass rush technique vs strength (And pass block vs strength?) When do they use them? What about play diagnoses vs run defense vs zone defense? |

Play diagnosis seems to be an overall booster for a defensive player to be at the spot where the ball is going. Run defense appears to determine how likely said player is to make the tackle on the play. Zone defense is purely used on passing plays and it seems to only matter if the player is on zone defense duties and determines how well the defender can cover the receiver he'll might encounter as a target. But as with about half of the ratings, you can't pinpoint exactly what they do, just keep in mind the obvious: when you put your CB, or S, or nickelback, or OLB, or whatever position on zone defense duties, put the player with the better zone defense bar in that depth chart slot.
