Good game Miami....whew....talk about coming down to the wire...I thought for sure I was watching the game slip right out from under us on that last big pass play....shoe string tackle saves the day.

Good luck the rest of the way.

Just one opinion. I’ve noticed with my teams that new QBs struggle ina new offense for at least 1 maybe 2 season. In the previous codes you could plug and play QBs. This one not so much. Just food for thought.

im really getting sick of watching us do absolutely nothing on offense. i dont understand how every game the QB rather throw to someone who is tripled covered then someone is open might be time for me to resign under this game engine

Even if thats the case it makes zero sense to ever throw into triple coverage consistently that never changes no matter what system your in

Its the same for everyone 500, what you see on the screen is not a totally accurate depiction, its a representation of the play outcome, which was done by an algorithm and a random %, "the sim or roll". You will def drive yourself nuts if you keep looking at the open receivers, lol. Also, the DBs break off their coverage either at or just before the throw, and go to the throw/targeted receiver.

GG Crimson/Bears, you played us super tough in the re-match, a 180 reversal. 10-6 first half had me thinking that your Bears had saved up their best game of the season so far, just for the Pack, lol. And had to sweat the onsides at the end, your offense was on a roll in the 4th, we would def have been in big trouble if you had recovered the kick. If your Bears keep playing at that level, you should get at least 8 wins for the season, well done!

I haven't watched any of your games but one thing to add is a newer QB, even in the NFL often stares down and throws to the primary receiver, even if double or triple teamed. I would say that has a lot to do with play familiarity. Without it, newer QB's wouldn't know where all the receivers are on each play and would most likely go to the first read which is what happens in the NFL. Also this code is not very forgiving to QB's without a good play selection, so add that with being a rookie or 2nd year player and lots of INT's etc..

GG Nuggets! Somewhat shocked considering my recent failures but I will take it, a win in a game that you clearly outplayed me.

GG amairic7/Ravens? We got the most of the breaks a blocked punt/fumble runback for a TD.
3 INT's and 10 penalties and 3 fumbles (total) madev the game a $.5 farce. Sadly these types of games are the norm and not the exception....Good lick the rest of the way..........MM
