6) AI

This season has been great for me. I didn't set up a 100 play AI book on both sides of the ball nor did I make any stupid plays. DONT blame the AI for picking the wrong things to happen especially after we got test games before we got to the real deal. Broken plays are just that, plays that do not work. Cover 0 Zone, Cover 3 Man, all that crap people seem to be complaining about and 'blown coverage' is just excuses for your own stupidity. If it is a legit bug like a bad checkdown on your AI or the QB didn't throw the ball on a pass play with good vision and open receivers even after like 10 seconds thats a bug. Not the fact you got burned on a Cover 0 all man no blitz play.

Yeah, because in real football MLB's that are more strength and agility than speed are forced to cover the olympic sprinter HB on a fly route every down and the defensive coordinators never cover them with a Safety spy or anything. I mean, c'mon everyone knows that the only legal way to cover a HB is with a MLB.

In fairness, he wrote that 3 seasons ago and was operating under a very different set of plays/sim.

Sad but true. It is a shame the sim changes so drastically that somethign posted three seasons ago is useless.

5) Elusive Backs

OK this isn't fairly well known but Elusive backs are wondering why the hell they ain't getting broken tackles. Its' simple...You didn't get touched therefore no missed tackle! You juke out so many people you don't know it and you are complaining without getting a stat. Sure you are getting lower YpC than the average Power Back this season but sooner or later when defenses can handle powerbacks better or Bort tweaks the sim/AI you guys will get your good YpC number with your fluctuating yards between your 80 yard TD carries and -2 to 2 yard carries that stop you before you get started.

For the most part I agree with your post - nicely done.

My only problem is the fact that you're telling us that "sooner or later when defenses can handle powerbacks better or Bort tweaks the sim/AI you guys will get your good YpC number"

So, we make a player in 1 mold who can be good for awhile until it's nerfd, then he'll suck for awhile until another change to SIM makes him good again?

I'm sorry, but with a 10 yr window on a players effectiveness, I don't think it's unreasonable to want him to get BETTER over that time and not have the ups and downs because of tweaks to the SIM.

Unless, of course, the whole idea is to have an agent spend their flex pts on re-doing custom equip every year to keep up with the changes to the SIM, then it's downright brilliant on Borts part and he should be commended.
