Lack of pass rush from 4-3 DEs frustrating

[JBH3]

Do any of those folks seeing these issues edit their sliders?

I play as the Eagles and DE Babin is 2nd on my team in sacks through 4 weeks, he has four sacks. Cullen Jenkins is #1 with 6 sacks, 3 coming in one gm, and Trent Cole has 3 himself.

I play mainly out of 4-3 and 3-3-5 Nickel sets, and blitz a LB or S, but still get consistent pressure with 4 down lineman.

For us Online Franchise guys we don't have that option. It's good that sliders are there, but we shouldn't have to edit them for something like this. It has been an issue for years unfortunately.

the first day I played the game I got tons of pressure. My rookie cam jordan had like 3 sacks in one game. Don't know what happened but now I cant get pressure at all. I have tried using the 5-2 formation and cant stop the run either.

My biggest frustration is sometimes on 3rd down i like to user control the DE and use the swim move and the right stick doesnt even work so you can't user control the DE to make power move/swim moves.

I would say on average as the eagles my DT's account for about 60% of my pressure, my LBers account for about 20%, my safetys account for about 20% (only when i control them, im very blitz happy with Jarret), and my 2 90+ rated DE's account for about 10%. Every single sack my de's made was based entirely on getting a free run to the QB because the oline would block others instead.

I've only played 1 or 2 games in the full version so far, but in the demo, I absolutely wreaked havoc with Julius Peppers. He had like 3 or 4 sacks per game.

I'm guessing we're talking about when you're controlling a linebacker or safety that the DEs don't get pressure? Peppers dominated the **** out of me in the demo when I played as the Packers though.

I've only played 3 franchise games so far and from 3-4 OLB, D.Ware has 0 sacks. Marcus Spears, Igor Olshansky and Jay Ratliff are my best pass rushers...

Not once have I seen Ware even beat his blocker.

He won't even if the AI had a punter playing LT......Sliders won't fix this, nothing but re-programming will.

I had an online game this morning where Freeney had 2 sacks.

I recorded it...if the OP doesnt mind, I could slap it on here when Im done editing it.

Both times the guy was forced to either hold the ball, or was flushed out...adn Freeney was there for the kill shot.

Are we sure that we arent taking Offensive Line matchups into consideration?
