Lack of Yak

[Hammerhunker]

Just a quick question, what computer defensive slider adjustments would need to made in order to increase the YAC (yards after catch) of the receivers? Man, it is like instantaneously that a receiver will get blasted after he has caught a pass, even if a defender has played off. No YAC what so ever, so I am thinking I could dabble with an adjustment. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm glad I don't have that problem. I don't think there's a slider to fix that.

you COULD lower the pursuit slider, but then the running game would be way too easy because the opposing players would not chase down the runnign back as well.
i think your problem is probably that youre not running routes that allow recievers extra runnign room after the catch. Hook routes, and comebacks against any defense and slants into a zone will get you no YAC yards because there will always be a defender right there to make the hit. You have to throw into areas where blitzers are coming from or throw to the sidelines and hope your reciever can get a few steps on the defender. ALso deep routes like FLY's will get you some extra yards if you can burn the DB.
