Intermediate or Advanced

Which option did you choose when the game loaded? I chose Advanced and i am really having issues against pash rushers on good teams. Is that why? I was sacked in under 3 seconds 7-11 times against th Saints and Chargers. Seemed excessive...

Does that really cause any difference other than the on screen notifications?


What you're going to have to start doing is checking the ball down and being more balanced in your play calling. Also, DEFINITELY slide protection toward the better pass rushers, or to the direction you plan on sliding your QB (like on a PA/roll out). Or if you're running play action and there is a linebacker on the line, you probably need to slide protection that way unless a T or a TE is directly in front of him.

I have seriously used slide protection, kept RBs to block as well as TEs and it barely helps. I guess check downs are a must. My RT is garbage which could be adding to the problem.

Yeah, a bad Oline isn't going to help. But I know you definitely cannot sit there like you're running a Mike Martz offense in this game.


I've hit a few long developing pass plays, but the throw was almost always at the last possible second and the play call was always sandwiched by a steady diet of runs and quicker developing pass plays.


Honestly it feels more realistically that way to me.

Definitely enjoying the game play. Just a little frustrating when you get sacked that many times. I will keep working at it. Thanks for the advice!
