One thing I have noticed so far my first season in Pro is how ungodly hard it is to run on any decent defense. Is there a balance issue with defenses being ahead of the curve? There have been games when my team has played pass exclusivly and still been able to shut the run down with ease. Just wondering everyone elses observations..

yeah it is. so far this season saginaws running back has either averaged 1 ypc or 5 ypc. when we play a scrub he murders them, but if we play a solid team he cant get shit

I would say for the most part teams are either good at both or good at neither.

We had a game last year against a very good team that we played the run almost exclusively and annihilated them on the rushing attack, but our passing defense still ended up being of our better performances of the year.

So it can go both ways, maybe in that game we just got some lucky picks, or maybe in your game the RBs had bad morale or a weak OL or your DL just happened to string together some good plays and play the best game of their lives in addition to having all run bonuses set.

There's countless variables that you would have to look at and analyze, you just cant make a blanket generalization saying one thought about one variable and then try to make sense of it. i.e. for the game you reference above, we would need oh about 100-150 other pieces of information regarding details of the setup of that game, not just 1... Then, we can make educated guesswork and conclusions.

It's a crapshoot at this point maybe once the Defensive AI is implemented alot of that will be taken care of one way or the other.

We were doing this all of last season as well. I think there's just some crazy good D-linemen out there right now.

Plus defenses are ridiculous fast and wrap-up is really effective.

Gotta Agree to bad wish that 10 season thing wasn't in place, I just don't think it's long enough. I think 15 would be top out if we could.

This is where defensive and offensive genius is needed to control the game, the way it is played today (in GLB). But taking into account the variable's (which are only theories at this point) to which the game might be played tomorrow, allowing high level competitive play for many seasons. Think about how NFL coaches become known as the best - they do something nobody else ever has, and they do it well. The trick is... well, that's for everyone to find out. Thus, we are all entrepreneurial coaches each given a chance to make a name for ourselves and team in Goal Line Blitz. Nothing happens over night though, which is probably obvious to most of you here. But there will be good teams, best teams, and then out-of-this-world teams. Kind of like the 49ers were during the 80s and early 90s.

OK.. I'll go back to where I belong now... just thought I'd drop in to add my 2 cents - booyah!
