so he ran outside runs out of goal line and wildcat, and hb screens...

ok...played a online franchise game (fantasy draft franchise) today against a guy who i knew i was going to have trouble against just by looking at his teams stats. looking at his teams stats, his QB has thrown most in the league in 8 weeks, throwing for 344 attempts. the next closest was 217

His leading recievers...darren sproles, reggie bush, tony scheffler, and antonio gates, in that order. in case you dont know, thats two RBs and two TEs

His leading rusher was darren sproles with about 600 yds

So, i came into this game expecting him to do nothing but what his stats show, which is use his RBs and TEs. and he did exactly that. outside runs with darren sproles out of a goaline formation with 3 TEs and a TE at fullback. he easily got outside every run with the very speedy sproles, was very consistent at breaking at least the first tackle and gaining a great chunk of yardage. he also used the wildcat alot, in which he had reggie bush running it...sproles comes in motion, fakes the handoff and then follows sproles and his blockers outside and gained a great chunk of yardage (i was able to stop this eventually with CB blitzes...but it was too little too late by that time). I was sniffing out his HB screens everytime...but sproles and bush were just too fast for me to keep up as he out ran his blockers and my defenders sniffing out the screen. And then whenever i happened to hold him to a 3rd or 4th down...he threw to the TE or the RB on a quick throw.

receptions for WRs...a combined total of 3. 2 for justin gage, 1 for brandon marshall.

he beat me 65 to 28...i threw 3 ints for TDs...two of them were because i hit the wrong button and ended up throwing to unintended recievers (i was losing my cool with his ridiculous offensive scheme). the other was my fault trying to squeeze in a play action pass when i had no pressure in my face and my receiver didnt get a chance to separate. he also began running up the score at the end of the game...going for it on 4th downs and taking two point conversions. thats my fault for not implementing mercy rules and 4th down rules in my franchise

but anywho, i just needed to vent after such a disapointing loss. what do you guys think? i understand i dont have the greatest defense...but isnt the fact that the flats are still broken something to do with the effectiveness of the outside run? and what do i have to do to get my run blockers to actually block for me? what do you guys think about the way this guy played?

i guess i should stop believing that people are gonna play football like its football and realize its a videogame and people are gonna do whatever it takes to win

I would never join a franchise that allowed that nonsense. I got irritated just reading about it.

If he is always doing outside runs, you should run some man to man contain plays.

If you're scared about the pass, then Zone DE contains.

Containing works wonders on outside runs.

He's probably using one of the Generic Playbooks that I will not name here that has all the old Goal line plays in it that are still very damn effective. Notice they took those plays out of the team playbooks. But they are still in the game and they are just as effective as they used to be. Btw, the run plays I'm talking about have nothing to do with broken flats. They were very effective in Madden/NCAA even when flat coverage was not broken.

Just curious, what formation were you using? The same thing happened to me against the Vikings when I was using 4-3 formation. The 3-4 formation is a little better against outside runs.

I really think it's okay to name the playbook.

No, the 46 playbook is best for any type of run.

For the outside run, call outside rush and put your DE's in a contain.

To stop runs to the outside just pick Cov 1 either 4-3 or 4-6, control the shallow zone safety in the 4-3 and the blitzing LB in the 4-6. At the snap cut off the outside angle and force him to either try to beat you to the edge, or cutback inside where your help is.

On a side note if I was commish I'd boot his butt, garbage gameplay like that doesn't belong in a SIM OLF. The garbage can be stopped but why waste the time, running up the score two point conversions, BOOT HIS ***!!! Hell make me commish I'll do it for you. He's got B. Marshall and J. Gage and two HB's and Te's are the leading receivers this wreaks of cheese, give his butt the size 13 Timberlands and kick it right back into the cheese pool of online ranked games.
Guys like that annoy me, sorry.

Yeah it is, but I got an OS league LOL. I'll name the play and btw, none of that stuff stops Goal Line HB Off Tackle. You gotta play defense the EA way to stop that play.
