The playoffs just got interesting


Not really. If you have the defensive design that is getting a ton of deflections and KLs the offense is just going to be punting a lot rather than you getting the ball off an INT.

I don't think it's going to make life dramatically better for passing teams. Making a living through the air is still going to be difficult against defenses that have good pass d schemes.


uhh, punting is a lot more acceptable than giving up 7 points on the regular...

look at your game against drinkin', you benefited quite a bit off of KL+INT


I didn't say it's not more acceptable. But I don't think this will drastically alter what is happening in the passing game. It won't increase passing percentages.


Fix the pass rush and you'll see people tone back their heavy blanket coverages. Until then, enjoy passing into the teeth of 9 defenders.

*raises hand* I hate changing shit right before the playoffs. Yes the bug needed to be fixed no doubt, but we have no testing with the new code. Who knows what the fuck he did now. For all we know WR will catch every pass thrown to them now. Whole defenses will go back to stupid zone mode. Bitter sweet for me I suppose. Definitely was a terrible bug, but if someone ends up losing because of a new bug that was created when he changed it. The uproar is going to be even worse.

I believe he changed the % of knocked loose interceptions, not the fact you can knock it loose for deflection most of the time. You're overreacting there.

GBM v NAN- GB, I think we can keep it close. But I think we have two chances of beating them, force some TO's on D, and score on them. And depending on how the passing thing goes we may be able to score a decent amount, but I dont think we can top them. But dammit were gonna try!

LVG v Carolina-Always loved the Hammer and that defense. I thin Maximum Protection is a top 10 CB in the game, but I think LVG wins this game, but something like 17-7, with the newest Naturals commit Roy Brandon getting himself a pick 6

Cin V Ind- Shockers. Indy is a good team, but the Shockers are one of the top teams in the game, and this may be their year to win a title.

Alp V OFG- OFG. Alpine is a great team, but I think HULK's will be too much for them, definitely another tight game, and this is the game of the week by far I would say. This is almost to close to call.

I totally disagree. Those irritating catch+hit+ints change morale, field position, and other intangebles. This is a blessing for pass first teams.

I just don't think it will make passing offenses WORLD'S better if the KLs are still happening at the same rate.

Until Bort fixes the pass rush, teams are going to only play 3 on the line and play everyone back in zones and WRs are going to have 3 guys around them when the ball comes in.

As for now, there's absolutely no reason to blitz, and all the reason in the world to play everyone back.

Ok, now that means you guys over at NAN need to pull of the monster upset to give the rest of the east a chance

I am sorry if I don't believe the Bort fixed something and its going to work as intended. Past results back me up on that id think

We all know there's a 95% or higher chance that this "fix" will fuck up something else not "intended"

doubtful

but im sure teams who have been relying on these KL+INT will find some way to say so if they lose in the playoffs
