          I love how everyone talks about NO DEFENSE. Yet I have ZERO problem to stopping offense. I am not going to try and fight and explain myself when I have no problem. That is a issue YOU need to figure out. I don't have that issue, so instead you attack the fact and tell me that I am lying OR that what I am saying is false. I am not going to try and help someone who does NOT want help, instead all you wanna do is complain

                But I have people in the spot. Thats the point of playcalling isn't it, getting people at the point of attack. Well, I have them there....they just get trucked.

                The problem with brining up a safety is that any legend WR can beat coverage badly on any play.

                Id also like to point out, to those saying they don't give up 100 yards rushing....you shouldn't....ever. Most games are 5 minute accelerated clock, 60 yards should be a good game in the real world with that amount of time.

                There are way to many broken tackles by gold backs as compared to big plays by gold defenders. If Campbell/Payton/Sayers/Sanders can destroy a defense any given play (to the tune of 6+ ypc) than the gold defensive players should be equally as dominant is my point.

                If a generic LB has no chance vs campbell, a generic guard should have no chance against Lilly, a generic WR no chance vs Woodson, a generic OT no chance vs White.
                the only RB i have problems with is earl campbell. many times i've had him dead to rights only to have him steamroll a potential tackler (or 6) enroute to the endzone so what i had to do was CHANGE MY DEFENSIVE STRATEGY. started using the 5-2 on running downs. 8 in the box works wonders on ANY RB including campbell. i've noticed that in this game it's risk/reward just like real football. adjustments and strategy is a must if you wanna win. studying and picking up on an opponent's tendencies will help you tremendously. this is football at it's best.

                  sometimes you're going to run into an offense that seems unstoppable. if you can't stop em with defense then stop em with offense. go to a ball-control, clock eating offense to limit his offensive opportunities. just make sure you score points, eventually you should come up with a stop or two. sometimes you gotta be willing to play a game where the final score is 17-14 or 10-7. as long as when the clock hit 00:00 you win.

                    It's not that there is no defense, it's just the defense in general is and I hate to say this I really do, but it is SOFT! The Jessie Tuggle video is a good example. Then there are the dropped INT's, the easy sacks but I'm just going to run pass the QB and let him pass the ball, the ability of 1 RB to plow through three + defenders within 5 yards, the slow take off speed of defenders. I'm not afraid of any defender in this game when I'm on offense, no matter who is playing with him. There is no intimidation. Blitz schemes that fail moreso than they work. You are better off hot blitzing all your linebackers and manually blitzing the edge. Offensive players are just about at full speed when they touch the ball, meanwhile defenders need to be revved up.

                    Then on top of that, the suction bugs that take you out of plays Outside linebackers who just stand there and let the TE slap them around like a little you know what. I kid you not, get Derrick Thomas and then put him in front of Jackie Smith on a Isolation play. Even if Thomas is blitzing the edge Smith will be 2 steps up the field and under Thomas' chin before he even moves. Then the next step Smith has planted Thomas into the dirt and is in the secondary blocking the Safety who could help on the tackle but he can't because Smith plants him into the ground too. It's Soft that's the only word I can think for it. I stopped even working on defense in this game. I just play offense now, which is completely against my style of play.

                      No LB. It must be the way you're playing defense. Just let the rooks here explain it to you. There is no issue at all with it.

                        LOL at you. rooks. I get sacks, get picks, stop the run, and everything else you have brought up. Not sure why I would lie about this.

                          i just find it funny that if someone has a problem it must be the person who's playing fault. he can't stop the offense it has to be his fault cause you can do it. it's funny sometimes the people on here. it's a good community but sometimes i really wonder.

                            gold Dline can't even get consistant pressure vs GENERIC OLINE.

                            I don't see how anyone can argue with those facts unless they just like defending the game. Truth is, defense is SOFT in this game. Just because you beat certain players doesn't mean its not. Play the right player with that offense and just watch it become a scorefest, even with all legends on defense.
                            The great offensive players were great because they were consistant. Not because they can catch in triple coverage or run 3 defenders over every play.
                            Guess we disagree. I play with generic corners and I am still able to contain gold wrs. I play with Bronze and Silver lbs and I am able to play against lbs. I played Kruza a few weeks ago and he beat me 3-0. I played against a team with 4 legends wrs and I lost 10-3.

                              I heard tons of complaints about defense but I am not seeing these problems. First it was db ai, blitzing and stopping the run. The game ai should continue to improve but APF still play a good game of defensive football.

                              My dbs play well across the board and I can bring heat with my lbs and safties. I wont say some isnt having problems with defense but I would rather read about potential solutions vs the defense is broken.

                              I am open to play a practice game with someone.

                              Peace
