I feel like I'm playing great offense. Defense sucks even though I forced fumbles in a couple interceptions it's not enough getting penalized on 3rd down getting beat by star players allowing 3rd and long conversions...
Hill is a problem to stop. Those power backs give me problems too. He averaged 5.1 ypc last season so you're going to really have to focus on him.
Because it seems the playbooks are somewhat limited, every team seems to run out of the split back formation a lot. What I do is I pinch the line (to stop anything up the middle), shift my LB's to the opposite side (to contain a sweep) of where the RB is lined up, and I user the other OLB and basically shadow the RB. If it's a pitch you'll be 1 v 1 the back and hopefully be able to bring him down. If not your CB & S will help and contain him. It's a bit risky but I've had some success with that strategy.
They never ran split it was all power I. I may not make the playoffs this year but you know anythings possible
Decided to pick back up my ultimate team/fantasy franchise.

Only change to the sliders I made was dropping the CPU passing to 0

Really tight game. A team with Brees, Jerry Rice and Gronk is going to be a pain to stop. I somehow was able to contain them for the most part.
I took the lead in the 4th, up by 8 thinking the game was won. I have to punt back with less that 2 mins left and Brees decides to shred my defense. He has an 8 play, 45 sec drive and scores the TD to Riley Cooper. Down by 2 they have to go for 2, a hand off to Mason. I call a blitz and thankfully stuff him in the backfield.
They now have to try an onside kick, but their kicker is awful and has back to back illegal kicks and I'm able to kneel for the win.
Really fun game, it brings me to 7-4, 2nd in the division trying to make a push for the playoffs.

I'm playing against the Broncos right now and all they're doing is running the ball it's really annoying
It's almost halftime and Peyton Manning has thrown it 3 times something's not right lol
