Yet another game in which I had no chance of winning, because I couldn't do anything on offense to move the ball or anything to stop the ball on defense.

It's really tough to run the ball when there is a defender in the backfield right after the snap - the same goes for passing the ball. You can only throw a couple of routes as there is no time for routes to develop down the field and that frustrates the hell out of me, because it doesn't matter if the defense send four or seven after the QB.
But it has nothing to do with these sliders, because it has been a problem for me in all the games in the first season. For some reason the QB my defense did the best against was Drew Brees.
The main problem with the defense is that they have no awareness. They are just standing in their zone and they do not react to anything that happens in front of them before the receiver has caught the ball.
