My brudda.... Thank you for your support and interest in the thread... I would suggest that you consider bringing a safety into the box.... Initially when I was playing with these sliders, the CPU RB was also running over me like road kill on a Texas highway....
I then began to control either the FS or SS (which ever of the two had better agility and tackling skills) and started to come up into the box and making tackles, or at the very least, slowing down the CPU RB.... Lo and behold, CPU RB numbers started to come down... In fact, I played one game where I was the Jaguars and I held Arian Foster to 43 yards on 22 carries....
The downside to this strategy is that you are left extremely vulnerable on man to man coverage, and it has happened to me more times than I care to remember that the CPU AI picks up on my 8 men in the box tactic and then at the most inopportune time, SMOKES ME with a fly or post route over the top, and my CB has no protection and as expected gets toasted for either a monster gain or a touchdown. If my CB is elite, and has speed, he stands a chance of holding his own and possibly getting an INT.
Consider this strategy and let me know what ya think....
Keep playin'! Keep postin'! Keep Maddening!
