GG az/Witches, your defense was great or my QB took the day off. Your QB did a real nice job in the 2nd half, when it counts the most. 12 sacks is a great result for you, big problem for me. My QB also came away with a Doubtful arm injury! He was beat up. Play use was good by both, thats why we get much more unpredictable game play and outcomes in this league. cheers! G

Offense .... 28 plays, 2 plays 8 times/-2.8 and 6 times/0.5, so those two were of benefit to the opposing team, lol. Passing was increased when trailing in the 4th, so that affected the useage also, Witches defense was very good which also limited the number of offensive plays due to both TO's and 3 & outs.

Defense .... 26 plays, 3 plays used 6 times each. 5.6/0.3/11.4 avgs. not a factor other than contributing to the loss.

....

LOl on your picture! Yeah the sacks came a plenty in this one somehow.

GG Dax/Bulldogs, our defense made the difference in that one.

O plays .... 30, one play used 7 times. a 1te4wr med pass, 0.5 avg, horrible. dont know why that happened but will be finding out.

D plays .... 20, 1/8 (GL defense used by rule vs GL offense), 1/7 - Dime Double Safety Blitz (mystery, that play has not been used much previously).

GG Dragons.

O 28
D 22

ITS GETTING TO THE POINT OF RIDICULOUSNESS

Second scouting in a row of blatant non-compiance, defense with only 16 plays used, one play used 15 times with a 2.6 avg.

There are only a few who take the time to post their play results here in the forum. Im tired of having to police this league and send pm's requesting compliance and how to set the O&D sliders.

Someone else can take the LAdmin spot, it has become an irritation for me and I dont need it.

Apparently its too F;n much to ask for everyone to get their play selection and use for diversity. We are not really getting that much diversity anyway, on defense you dont see any 3 and 4 man coverages, the defensive plays are usually all 1 man deep, 2 man deep, and man, with half or more 1 and 2 man blitzes. I do it also, otherwise will get beat by those who are not.

I will continue to try with this effort, I was ready to throw in the towel, but I believe its worth the try and effort to get a better simulation to RL football, its still not close but its what we have. Im not going to continue to explain how to get more plays used, its all there in the sticky threads at the top of the league forum page. If you are out of compliance, especially way out, you will get one warning, then if not fixed by the next game, will get booted. You will be eligible to try again after a 2 game suspension/block. I have 10 teams in this game, I dont have time to babysit and instruct on how to play by the Elite League rules.

If you really prefer to play the game with more use of plays, as opposed to all the other leagues besides Roster Only, then please help by helping me get those who are not paying attention or for some reason are just not getting it. thanks, GdB

Game #11 vs Dire Wolfs (AI)

O 34/40 1x 6
D 19/30 :-( (not my goal, but 3 Deep Man and 4 Deep Man were used at least once)

My actual defense settings:

Secondary: 1 DM 7, 2 DM 4, 3 DZ 14, 4 DZ 23, CB 9, SB 4, 2 DZ 6, Man 6, 3 DM 14, 4 DM 12
LBs: Zone 29, Blitz 1 12, Blitz 2 23, Blitz 2+ 8, Man 12, ZoneIn 10

Distribution last game (used plays):
Secondary Man 9, 2 DM 2, 2 DZ 1, Safety Blitz 4, 1 DM 1, 3 DM 1, 4 DM 1
LBs Blitz 1 5, Blitz 2 4, Blitz 2+ 1, ZoneIn 2, Man 5, Zone 2

Conclusion: Play selection strongly depends on opponents play selection and own HC(AI) decision. But you could achieve a little better diversity if you omit own rules and only stick to the given defensive rules (No auto GL and No auto Nickel vs 3WR) for the time being until the game engine is repaired and improved.

(And please stick to the legue rules all the time from pre-season to League Bowl)

GG's Mariners

O - 27 plays
D - 21 plays

GG Badgers. Wish that offense and defense had shown up together before week 11!
Offense-28 plays, 1x7 with an average of 4.1. Nothing else over 5 and no rule to push that to 7.

Defense-23, 2 plays used 6x, with average yards of 0.9 and 3.6. 1 at 7 times used with an average of 6.9 against so that didn’t help us.

I agree with Ioanblood, with what we are trying to achieve with diversity, I’ve resisted putting in any rules outside of the suggested auto GL and Auto nickel as I think it will skew the playalling the wrong way. I’m maintaining balance across all formations and defensive sets so they are equally called, and trying to influence playcalling by play type through field position/down/distance.

Scouting the Redrocks has resulted in removing the team owner. Im surprised no one either posted here or alerted me to the use of 12 defensive plays, 90% 1 and 2 blitz, by the Rocks, The limited use on defensive provided an unfair advantage vs those who are getting the minimum amounts of play use.

I did not send a warning as there has been no replies to previous PMs that I sent, and zero participation in this forum. Will consider reinstatement if I get a message and a promise of compliance with the league format and rules.

There seems to be few, fortunately very few, who joined this league without a clue about the play diversity effort. Apparently they also do not pay attention to PMs and this forum. Not much I can do about it, other than removing them, which I dont like having to do, but there is no other alternative when there is a lack of communication.




From here on forward, am changing the league from public to private, no more new owners without "certification". By than, I mean they will need to reply to my initial message to make sure they understand the league rules and what they should use for Offense Personnel and Defense Secondary/LB settings and the 2 Non Auto rules. Will also request that they participate in the forum, which is important for this league IMHO.

Vs Crusaders (Bot team)

O: 27 plays
D: 25 plays
