but seriously, I'm glad I'm not the only one enjoying this football game....I just want to keep playing it, play after play.... I'm finally starting to understand which runs to call on which plays.....as well as when to call fake snaps to slow down the dline...sometimes it seems like they get in a roll and they are just barging through........but one thing for sure, if they seem to be getting a pretty good push on your plays... DO NOT CALL A Pro Form - formation....in that formation as soon as you hike it you have to move alittle in a angle...if you drop straight back pressure seems to get through.... I move in an angle to the left or right and adjust to what the dline is doing....then look to pass...

if they are getting pretty good push on the oline, I call shotgun plays and some screens.... with shotgun plays, remember not to drop back to pass, actually step up alittle....the D-ends will get good angles on you if you drop further back....and you'll get sacked pretty quick.
Exactly what I have noticed too, that's the great thing about this game, the nuanced game play. I can't be on cruise control when I play, I have to really pay attention to everything. The more I play the more I appreciate the game, it has plenty of flaws but when everything is clicking right, it's one of the best playing football game I've played.
