How!!! That's how I loose, first of all my offense got stopped at the Atlanta 40 4 times, several of those times knocked out of FG range by a penalty or sack. Then to top it all off, up by 1 with 1:18 left 3rd and 17 Atlanta from their own 27 pass complete for 49 yards to the Washington 24, putting ATL in FG range to win by 2. I even had a pass key on the play, what else can I do? Of course they got the ball because of a holding penalty on a 14 yard run then I had another 15 yard run after that but it wasn't enough because of the hold. This game clearly hates me. Congrats GrandadB that might have been the best game I have ever watched in MFN. That was insane
That was a tough one to lose awest, I would have felt the same, and I have had a couple similar to that one. The 3rd & 15+'s that get converted PMO more than anything else in the game, lol. In the previous game version, on 3rd & long, I would go with one of the CB3 & Dbl LB blitz plays out of the Nickel, but they got "neutered" in the current game version and are automatic hot reads whether they were scouted or not. They may as well have been taken out of the defensive play book. Now, you have to go with a coverage call using mostly Dime or Quarter and hope for the best. Overall, blitzing is about 1/2 as effective as it was in previous version, which has made the game better, as blitzing 70%+) and limited play-calling (myself included) were not a good "simulation". I think hot reads have been over done and inflict a much more harsh result than they should, and big formation (2 TEs) passing to auto the goaline defense needs to be corrected to prevent "exploits". Anyway, thats off the topic, was an epic battle for the conference champ awest, win or lose you have shown that you are a top competitor and a strong contender in any league now, congrats!
