LB Tackles?

[Dallas_Fan95]

Is it just me, or does the user controlled team in CFM have a lower amount of tackles than other teams? Especially the LB's? I think the highest tackle total I had with a LB was 88. They normally have one of the higher totals in the league. Anybody have answers to fixing this?

I played a game last night Texans vs. Redskins and Clowney had 17 tackles 14 solo and Cushing had 14 tackles 12 solo. I was only controlling the DT so they did that themselves.

They were all over the place.

I've noticed if you control a defensive linemen it almost frees up LBs to make your hits. Or just pick one LB at the beginning of the season to use so he gets your user tackles.

It appears to me that the DLine never attempts to occupy blockers on run plays (not even the NT) and consistently get washed out by a single OLineman. This leaves the nearest OLineman free to make it to the LBs in the second level. I've also noticed they always direct their attention directly to the User controlled LB...whether playing M, S, or W.

I've only played a 4-3, but I imagine the game mechanics are the same regardless of scheme.
