Re: You ever play a game where the Legends were "less than legends"
Happens all the time to me. It's a bummer, but I have this happen especially with the DL.
The issue with Woodson is that he's eminently beatable if you put double moves on him and use a pump fake. He's so aggressive in the game that a well executed bronze-to-bronze QB-to-WR combo can find success against him if they are able to set him up correctly.
I think Rob Moore, like a few other bronzes (Okoye, Metzelaars, Sanders, Clark), overplays his rating by a wide margin, which also makes the issue worse.
I will say that one of the places where I see my legends consistently perform like the real deal is on the OL, especially golds and silvers--those guys constantly blow up average defenders.
I think the problem with DBs is related to the problem with the DL and the blitz. If you give any offense time, even the best CBs will be beat in man coverage, and any zone will break down. What I don't like is that I can't count on a stacked DL to get consistent pressure against a generic OL so that I can play zone behind it and be effective. While corners can get burned, the ineffectiveness of the DL and the blitz seems to force you to chose CBs and hope that they make enough plays on the ball to justify the pick.
