What.Where are these NEW RULES I was told about during my game

[bigfnjoe96]

I usually move my safeties around so they can get a better position on the ball. Usually controlling 1 of them. Not sure what happen but during the 3rd quarter of a close game I was told by my opponent that moving more than 1 defender wasn't allowed anymore & he said there were some other rules changed/added.

Can someone please let me know where these changes are cause I had no idea..

19. What are ACQB gameplay rules? The rules are very simple and are stated below. If you have any questions PM the commissioner Trojan Man 1. No "***-d," period. Moreover, no hot route coverage or contain calls of any kind to the DL position except those that are already contained in a play call (like the flats protection in 9 velcro, the hooks in a fire 2, etc.) 2. No nanos, period. Those of you who do them know exactly what you're doing, so no need for pretense. 3. You may only manually reposition one player per play on defense, and you must stick with that player whose position you alter for the entire play (or until pursuit dictates that you move to another player). You may not move a guy, say, over center, to get a nano effect, then switch off at the snap to keep the letter but not the spirit of the rule.This is related to the nano rule. 4. You may call two screens per game. Note the verbiage here: "call." That means if you have an offense that runs from a screen call but you throw to other players, that base screen call counts against the total. Let me pre-empt the argument that you have no choice versus the blitz by pointing out that there are literally hundreds of plays per book that have built in hot reads and built in check downs. Use them. I don't care if you love screens; if you need to run more than two per game to have an offense, you're not a smart or interesting player.

Honestly, I don't care what people are doing with their D so long as they aren't stacking LBs behind defensive linemen.

That's the exploit our rule was designed to stop, which is why it's called the "nano rule."

Moving a player in your secondary up to a WR so they are in better position to cover their assignment isn't anything to worry about in this game.

The movement rule is nano-based.

There are all kinds of movements by non-human players that don't violate the rules. For example, lots of plays have auto rotation in the secondary and some auto movement at LB. If the CPU has auto movement built in, it's fine.

There's also the show blitz feature, which is fine. If you move a DB or a LB out of one of those default positions, you have to stay with that guy for that play; this eliminates the nano setups that some do. And you can only move one guy like that per play, unless you're moving a defender in man to cover his proper assignment (sometimes the CPU doesn't line you up right in man.

If someone was killing me w/ their TE, I used to manually move my DE directly over him as to not allow him a quick release.

Yeah, moving the DL doesn't bother me. Same thing would apply: you move him, you control him for the play.

that's why I don't do it anymore. Personally I think moving the DE 1-2 yards outside the tackle is BS anyway, but that's not the point. I suck controlling DLinemen, I always get pancaked.

WOW...
