While i like the fact that at 60 it lines up better with sim stats, i am seeing every 1-on-1 tackle being made in the games i play and it really negates either team ever breaking off a big run unless the RB is untouched.

Enjoy the game however you'd like. You will definitely be seeing too many AI pancake blocks, broken tackles, and 20+ runs all over the stat sheet. You'll see quite high RB avg too.

Well after 7 games I have the 2nd ranked run defense. i don't like adjusting too many things at once because i don't want to have a 2 steps forward 3 steps back occurrence which is common with sliders. For now i am leaving run block slider alone and putting hum tak at 50

What position do you play on D? I must suck--I use MLB with my Raiders and we get torched on the ground some games. Usually death by a million 4-6 yard gains.

usually a LB or CB. It varies depending on what play i call and which assignment i feel like i can user and not screw up. I do call a lot of run blitzes on running downs and do a lot of d-line adjustments to the strong side. Usually end up with 5ish tackles for loss per game

I play mlb most of the time too...and I have almost zero stick skills on d. I am a hindrance to my team

Could not stop T.J. Yates to save my life. I thought with Flacco being out I would have a chance but my defense couldn't do anything. With 2 minutes left they were still throwing the ball even though they were up a score. CPU AI at its finest.

The AI is still blasting guys a bit too much with their OL (pancakes). That's the only thing that seems slightly off. Granted, it was a high-scoring game, but those happen.
