Maybe if we all compared how we did against said gutted teams? I just played one..
2 Picks (both returned for TDs)
1 recovered fumble, also returned for a TD
6 Deflections, IIRC 4 vs my WR and 2 vs the TE
8 Tackles, IIRC 2 on the run/pitch, 5 on my WR, and the last on the TE
The most interesting thing to take away from that is how bad Aggressive is nowadays. I only broke even on Tackles vs PD+Picks, and that's against mostly CPU players 8 levels lower than me.
Gutted team, does not count. Deflections, picks, and tackles are all overrated at the cornerback position. Game by game breakdowns of coverage is all that really matters. My corner plays the entire time, provides air tight coverage, and has only given up four receptions so far this year. And I still think 2.0 catches allowed per game is high.
If you could duplicate yourself, and date her, would you?
That's funny, but to date, no one has gone so far as to look extensively at what really matters for a cornerback. That's providing shut down coverage on whoever you're covering. All I'm trying to do is show people how absolutely meaning less stats are to having a great game as a cornerback. Even in the NFL, possibly even the CFL (I'm quite unfamiliar with their stats), stats for a cornerback don't matter. Most of the time the players with big interception numbers are the ones gambling for the ball, sacrificing their coverage responsibility to try to get on ESPN. Ideally, Bort would add these couple stats, which really do matter, to defense, but I don't see it happening, so I've made it my mission to show people how absolutely overrated stats are. Now, if someone were to come here with a legit breakdown of a game where they were on for 80 plays against someone 28 levels higher, and was only thrown at three times with two defelctions and an incomplete, then awesome. Not only would that have been an incredible game from a coverage standpoint, one far greater than any I've posted, but someone would finally show that they get it. They understand a one pass deflected game has the potential to be infinitely greater than six deflections.
I think you underestimate the intelligence of the people in this thread, or, atleast one of em. The thread title is 'The Best Individual Show'...Noone asked you to come in here and be 'that guy' who seems upset with the world because he doesnt get enough attention or for some weird personal issue.
This thread was supposed to be enjoyable for people, thank you for ruining it with your filth.
You've made it a mission to inform CBs that their stats are meaningless?? You need a role model, and a life.
And before you spew your nonsense, maybe you should watch people game tape before you make assumptions...As if any CB with stats isnt a shutdown CB...GTFO loser.
By definition, you can't be a "shut down" corner if you had 16 passes deflected in a game. Look at Darrell Green and Deion Sanders. People avoided them completely. You've completely confused the term with that of ball hawking. Now, I'm not saying stats are completely worthless, but they are extremely overvalued. As for my "weak" AA level opponents, last time league rankings by level came out, USA AA2 was the fifth hardest league in the game, behind USA Pro, Western Europe Pro, Canadian Pro, and USA AAA1. So much for AA2 being weak, huh? Galaxy Aces came out of AA2, as did the Doomsday Sin, Parsippany Pain, Miami Vampires, Honolulu Hurricane warriors (One of the most dominant teams in the game right now), Monmouth Evil Monkies, who apparently has been used as a template for the entire South America league, and the Seattle Monsoon. These are all teams that would kick the ever loving shit out of 99.992881% of the game. And there's still more of us to come.
