So whats the point of a pass rush?

No, my pass rush gets there quite often. Like I said, regardless of how fast I get to the QB, the cpu will automatically find an open guy anywhere from 2-20 yards downfield. I've had games with over 10 QB knockdowns and 0-1 sacks because of this.

You're really not seeing this at all?

No. You have to understand sometimes the Qb DOES get out of sacks sometimes. I am able to get alot of pressure and sack the QB alot, mostly up the middle. Maybe try to blitz up the middle more and see if it keeps happening to you? Maybe your just unlucky.

For comparison most teams average 2 or less sacks a game. A lot of people seem to think you should put constant pressure and have at least 1 sack each defensive series. That just doesn't happen in real life.

This is so true. Unless your constantly blitzing the whole drive, you probably won't get pressure every play. You also have to change up your blitzes. Can't blitz up the mid or to the outside every play, change it up.

I agree with you last line. Most all my sacks come on 3rd & long when I know the CPU will pass. I mix up coverage and only send 4. With a fast end and using some stick skills you can get there. If you call the same coverage and blitz the same guy over and over then you want get there. But in real life sack come from the correct play call and good coverage. It does happen at time in the game.

And unfortunately my Gophers are dead last in sacks ... in the nation. At least Brewster is finally gone.

I totally understand what your saying im in my tenth game I do have a guy with 8 sacks and a few with 3 and 4 but it seems everytime I get close to the qb he throws off one leg across his body the most perfect pass and the wr catches it smh pisses me off!!!! if anything i should have a lot of INT's but thats not possible bc my db's stop as he throws the ball

Don't get me wrong I also see roboQb when I'm just about to sack the QB and yeah it's annoying, but then I think that if I got the sack every time that happened I would probably average around 12-15 sacks a game. Which is completely unrealistic. We would then be complaining that the game is too easy when the CPU is constantly in 3rd and long situations all game long and not scoring.

Right now I feel I have a pretty realistic pass rush averaging around 3 sacks a game. (DaQuan Bowers exploded for 4 my last game. 7 team total) But yeah I do wish that when roboQB does kick in that the QB would throw it in to the ground, throw an INT or just throw the ball completely off target. A few too many perfect throws when the QB is hit or under pressure.
