Disagree. Tom Brady passes the ball 15 times and they run the ball twice every time I play a quarter vs the Pats. Real life they were 55% passing 45% running attempts last year.

I think someone needs to go and find generic playbooks to match pass/run splits per team. I don't have the bandwidth to do this myself. I would start giving the Pats the balanced offensive playbook and see what happens.

I understand what your saying about percentage, but I'd rather have this year's lopsided play calling than last year where a team wouldn't call the game to their strengths. Maybe this year teams do too much and favor their strength but the game is more challenging trying to stop Tom Brady than seeing danny woodhead get all the touches last year.

They over-did the Broncos and Patriots style.

Flacco and the RAVENS just threw it 62 times vs the BRONCOS so i guess its jus a passing league ....i mean shoot Peyton Manning threw for 7 tds in the same game....

Even if you could change run/pass split, it wouldn't affect the actual gameplay; that's 100% gameplan. Run/pass split only ever affected sim stats.

They were trying to score more quickly, they had to throw. That's why you get a lead, to force the other team to abandon the run game. Then you can play deeper zones and give up the underneath passes.
