Let's talk about the ethics of "nano-blitzing"
This seems to be a sensitive subject for many people on here. Some say it's unrealistic or "cheesy," others think it is realistic. I'm in the category of people who nano-blitz, and believe it is realistic and the person on offense has the capability to defend & expose it. I say so because I see it often when I'm watching games on TV, both college and NFL. Every so often, someone will get through and sack the QB very quickly. If it happens on the game, people scream, "cheese!" I guess instead of making proper adjustments such as using a RB or TE to block, adjusting their O-line, or making quick reads, some people would rather have the game dumbed down for them.
When I'm on defense, if I think my opponent is going to pass, sometimes I will apply pressure to the QB and the goal is to get to him as fast as possible. This is often done with various tactics, such as overloading one side of the line, trying to open up holes in the interior for someone else to run through, using fake blitzes in one area while sending heat from somewhere else, etc. If I get to the QB fast enough for a sack, then mission accomplished. I really don't see what the issue is. This is the way football is played. I find it very strange when I am playing someone and they start complaining that I am nano-blitzing, yet they don't do anything about it other than bitching that I won't stop doing it. I guess I should just let them sit in the pocket unconstested by their way of thinking. Or maybe I should only blitz from really far out, so as where they have a fair warning that an extra pass rusher is coming. The funny thing is, if you do play it smart and you pick up the blitz effectively, then the defensive coverage is very often butt-naked and someone is open for a big gain.
One thing I'd like to hit on is the shake blitz, which is definetly a glitch. Move your LBs back and forth and the digital o-line believes the LB has teleported somewhere else and not right in front of them. Even though I've found ways to beat this, it's still pretty lame. Honestly, it's just lazy to me because there really isn't much thought or effort put into it and the LBs run right by the O-line like they aren't even there.
This is all just my opinion.
