GG war/Panthers, did not think we had much of a chance, but the Dog Defense performed way above expectation. Hope we get to do it again this season, but thats a real, real longshot for the Browns.

My O-line is entirely destroyed by injury, I'm in year 2 with this team still dealing with massive dead cap from previous ownership. Put that together with a shocking amount of GL defense from you after whining about it from your week 1 opponent, and the result is not too shocking. I did expect my offense could do something, but we need somebody healthy who can block.

GG Lions

GL was ruled to face GL offense and in any 0-2 yardage situation, thats all I can tell ya. I will look at the game log to double check the use. My gameplan was same as it was for first game. Who's whining? you might want to check yourself on that one. My roster was devasted in the off season, had to do quick fix, which is not doing too bad, so in similar situation to your roster. Didnt think we were going to win that one, caught a good sim is all.

Edit: Def play count from our game. 34 Man Cover 1- 22 times, Crash Right - 16, Dbl WR 1 & 2 - 8, Double Blitz - 5, GL #3 - 4 times, OLB outside blitz - 4, Man QB Spy - 4. So... dont know what you are complaining about.

GG Falcons...to say I got a favorable sim would be a major understatement.

As far as goal line defenses, I just took all of them out of my playbook. So I'm not running them at all , with rules or otherwise.

Speaking of injuries, maybe it's just that kind of season. We may have won the game, but the Falcons beat us up pretty good physically. Just gotta hope you have built enough depth to make it work.

I dont blame you Wolve, but it can be controlled and used for what it is intended to be used for, GL means just that, your GOALINE to prevent easy TDs with power runs. Along with 3rd or 4th down and 0-1 sitatuions where the offense lines up in GL or heavy formation. Do the Eagles use the Push Tush every play? Hull No, its only used for 0-1 yard situations, and they are very successful with it. Do NFL teams use a 6-7 man line defense every play? Obviously not. The only way to control the use of the GL defense/offense in the current game version is 1. Zero out GL personnel in Offense Gameplan. Use it only by rule in specific yardage and field position situations. 2. Use a rule for defense vs 311, 122, and 221 personnel, using any or all defensive personnel other than GL. or 3. as you are now currently doing, eliminate the use of any GL defense by non-activation.
Its a cat and mouse decision in games with owners who see that the GL has been used for every 0-2 yard situation, as that can be countered with high % success if you know how. In games vs the AI, the GL defense will stuff the GL run, which is used in non-GL situations, like 1st and 10, and will also usually stop the 0-2 yard inside runs along with inside/outside runs from various personnel and formations.

This may be my last season in this game. Can't prove it but I believe non paying customers are given some kind of penalty. Seems like all third and longs, teams are converting on my team either by play or penalty and completing what feels like 80+% of passes or rushing for first downs that are 8+yards, while I can't complete 50% of passes or rush on a consistent basis. Don't have the time to get into the deep dive of the ins and outs of this game either.
