Problems with sacks?

I've seen people having problems with sacks, but I'm not sure what the deal is. I've played 2 games on all-pro (one with 8 min quarters, the other with 9) with the Redskins and have 5 sacks with Orakpo, 2 with Carter, 1 with Haynesworth, and a couple with my LB's and CB's. I just line up my RE next to my LE and take out the T that is blocking my LE and there is either pressure or a sack everytime. I think the problem is that man-to-man coverage absolutely sucks in this game and is entirely worthless, so if you try to rush while playing man-to-man the QB will find a guy everytime. That's just my experience after playing a couple games on a decent skill level.

Rregardless of how cheese this sounds, to the OP, my problem with sacks is that the computer QB just throws the ball when I get there. It prefers to throw duck passes and picks over taking sacks.

Re: Problems with sacks?

right, I totally agree. They did that whole blending thing so the CPU could still throw out of a sack animation. It was over done though. Plus they don't even have the penalty in the game for illegal touching (or whatever it is, when a pass hits the OL).

The ball should definitely not come flying out of the quarterbacks hand as much as it does.

I realized (I play online) if you mix up playcalling or even send a blitz you haven't used you'll get there more often than not. Everyone is having trouble with the CPU I have to see what the hysteria is about, lol

Of course you can get sacks online. The opposing QB is a person an doesn't just chuck it when the pass rush is getting there. They actually take sacks online. But off the Qb just tosses the ball 2 feet to the left or right and you lose a sack.
