Overall...
The Pats were annoyingly good, not as annoying as the amount of FGs ive been missing. Since your original sliders ive missed TONS of FG which i am going to change, i cant get yards as it is and with a 99 power kicker anything up to 50 yards should be easy instead when i go FULL power they SLICE right!
Id of won had i not missed 2 fgs
ANYWAYS!
as for the gameplay it was 10-7 me at the end of 1 with both teams on about 5 rushing yards
I loved seeing a game of D instead of a shootout like most of the other games.
Their D just READ everything if i was rushing right they would stack the right side, down the middle they would PINCH their D Line and by the time i made audibles or Used a TE as an extra blocker is was too late..."DELAY OF GAME OFFENCE..REPEAT 1ST DOWN!" sooo annoying that is with accelerated clock.
I in fairness killed their rushing game as well which was nice, Brady i blitzed and he made passes if i sent NO heat and went C3 id stop him more times in not despite him literally sitting there for 10 seconds in the pocket, yet when ive got clay matthews under his helmet he'll hit me for a 20 yard gain. go figure!
Passing...i ALWAYS send a guy LONG in a hot route "just hoping" one day he'll be free...check driver and jennings stats...not once open down there, i got picked twice trying to go YARD
I basically used the SAME pass play over and over, why? because i can make it work and the CPU doesn't kill me. A PA with the WR going deep, TE down the seem and my RB in the flats. If they send EVERYONE i hit the RB, if i have time i TRY to hit the WR as my TE couldn't catch a cold let alone a football! But all my yards as you can see in receiving stats are to my HB/RB or TE..hmmmmm
i HAD to use this because their RUsh D was immense couldn't run more than 2-3 yards at all. But when using 4 spread WR the heat got to me too quickly so i had to pass out of IFORM using TEs as blockers although that didn't stop the blitzers getting through.
I will play the next game tomorrow, i believe against....the 6-2 falcons and i'll see what happens. Normally i rush well but the pats killed me and with no time to motion/audible i was often rushing into 2-3 men on my side! As per i need to work on passing but i guess i need a strong pocket to find passers which i dont ever have.
Could be a blood bath v the falcons
