Back to the patch discussion..

I think think the gameplay is balanced very very nicely. Just held a packer user to 10 points with the Cheifs. The lone touchdown a blown coverage where I spotlighted Nelson and Smith was caught peeking at him and like Boykin get deep. My fault not prodiving over the top adjustment to protect that. Rest of game we shut him down. Many clutch stops. Got an INT, dropped at LEAST 3 or 4 more. Berry snagged a great one and dropped another so thats okay. Good to see a great player standout on defense. Thankfully he refused to bring an extra man into the box to defend the run so that's how I was able to move offensively. I play the take what they give you game and it worked out for me to a 14-10 win with a 2 4th down stops before he quit. Don't remember ever being able to play these kind of games online.

Hopefully I can learn how to rush the passer because I enjoy trying and if I can get good at it man will it open up my defense. Only thing that kills me is I don't like to blitz too much due to the easy throws behind it if the person your playing can read it. I really never blitz against shotgun either because I always am a second too late. A lot of people use shotgun only so I go with a 4 man rush and mix up coverages and alignment behind it to try and confuse my opponent. Working while I'm at this skill level at least.

I know they won't but I wish they'd patch the hit stick. They make it so easy for players to use it with any defender. Should be much more of a risk reward system.
