Defensive struggles

[bowld]

anyone else struggling on defense?

in past years i have been a dominate defensive player but for whatever reason this yr i just suck at defense. I rarely stuff the RB in the backfield and i dont defend the WR's well enough

any one struggling? someone give me some hints if possible

Re: Defensive struggles

It is pretty BS. JaMarcus Russell threw like 5 incompletions against me. I have Suggs and Merriman as my ends and still didn't get ONE sack.

The defense is broken.

Playing D isnt an issue IMO, but getting sacks is an issue for alot of people.

I dont want to see 10 sacks every game, but when the opposing QB has 7 seconds to throw because I cant get to him, its ridiculous.

Re: Defensive struggles

I thought Ian said the pass rush was fixed after he showed us that vid of the Ravens vs Bills in Practice Mode? So you're saying EA is back to false advertising? Which team were you using online and was the game on All-Pro? This was a big turnoff for me in 09 not being able to get SOME pressure from the front four....LAME.

Re: Defensive struggles

Please tell me its not like 09 where even the really bad Qb will have a 90% compeltion percentage

Re: Defensive struggles

im playing on "my skill" and cpu qb's are completing about 55-65 percent

i just cant play D online and its driving me nuts

The problem is that ratings dont seem to matter in that area.

There should still be some pressure from the 43 DEs and 34 OLBs even if Im not controlling them. If DeMarcus Ware is going up against the worst pass blocking OT in the league, he should be able to at least provide consistent pressure off the edge even if he isnt being controlled. Im not saying he needs to make the sack every time, but come on.

Re: Defensive struggles

ive had no problems what so ever. most games im getting a few sacks. i do play as the d-linemen though. i used to always play as an end, but im starting to see if you can penetrate with a DT you see better results. i see more double teams on my tackle and the ends and LBs are coming free, and getting good pressure. also, the better you time your moves with the R-stick, the more effective they are. dont know if that will help you, but best of luck.

Re: Defensive struggles

Try not playing with the D linemen the whole game and see how many sacks you get, or how many times the QB has 7-10 seconds to throw.

Re: Defensive struggles

WAAAAAAYYYYY to many drop intos in this game. It cost me 3 games online because my player has missed easy intos.

Also sacks are pretty hard as freak cuz the qb can just throw the ball even when u hit him... ANNOYING...

hmm man to man is improved this year also... But those fade routes are pretty efective out of the endzone... inside the endzone its almost still impossible
