That's a great example of the "sticky" lineplay I keep alluding to....they just hold onto each other for dear life....

If you can adjust sliders in H2H, I'd suggest what I posted a few posts ago. If you can't, you're pretty much screwed.

I'm not trying to spam this - but I posted the following in my slider thread this morning and it goes to the heart of what I was posting about yesterday with the penalty settings and the line blocking....

Good morning all.....cj streamed a couple of games last night using the current set and I got one in myself while watching. CJ added a couple of highlights to his twitch from the stream to show visual evidence of the blocking.

Pass Blocking: http://www.twitch.tv/cjhunter316/v/19989007

This is a nice little throw from Bortles to J. Thomas for a TD. CJ was watching the replay looking at the DB reaction and then I noticed something really cool. If you go to about the 1:20 mark of the video, CJ starts focusing in on the lineplay. Watch the left side of the line...

The RE over the LT runs a stunt initially to the LG-C gap. The LT has nothing to do. On default line settings, the RE has a good shot of getting through because the LG and C would stay engaged to their men (the "sticky" lineplay). With this setup, the LG passes off his guy to the LT and the C passes his guy to the LG. The C then picks up the stunting RE and freeing Bortles to make the pass.

Run Blocking: http://www.twitch.tv/cjhunter316/v/19988436

This is a nice little trap play by Yeldon, who makes a slight little juke to get through the gap. It's a little harder to see the difference in the run blocking on trap plays, but you can see the subtleties (start at 30 second mark for replay).

The LG comes out of his stance to run the primary "trap" block. Instead of there being a "vacuum" effect and then him holding the DT, he pops him hard and moves him out of the way. The C does his job....but notice another subtlety...he's turned to his left and has kept the DT away from the hole.

The LT actually makes the key block that springs this play. His job is to seal off the LB....and boy does he do that. But instead of just grabbing onto the LB and holding him....he really drive blocks him from the left side of the hole to the right side of the hole. If he doesn't do that, the LB would be on the inside of the run lane and might have a chance to trip up Yeldon.


These are the kinds of things we see with these penalty sliders/block settings that are NOT there at default. These subtle actions though are so critical to getting realistic gameplay. As brutal as football is, there is a lot of elegance that goes into it when teams execute.

Has anybody implemented new penalty sliders into their slider sets?

You can check out my set....I've been using the setup I suggested for a while now.
