As has always been the case the DC whining is always funny.......here let me spell it out for you.
The last 5 Gold League Champions have given up less than 20 points per game in the playoffs easily (probably less than 15 but I didn't care enough to find the exact number). Out of those 20 playoff games they have given up more than 20 points exactly 3 times............It is a simple fact that defense can be played at this level and those that do it really well win rings.......


Not as black & white as this sounds...

Yes defenses step up during the playoffs, but there are reasons for that. First is that you a have a full season of games to use for scouting. Teams tend to focus on what works rather than trying something new in the playoffs, so with so many games to use for scouting, it's easier to identify what's been working for them and setup a defense to counter it.

Second is that it's very time consuming to do heavy scouting like that, so most teams don't bother until they enter the playoffs and just leave their defense on auto-pilot tweaking it here and there.

So ya, defenses can and do step it up in the playoffs, but there are reasons for it. But Bevo is right, with good scouting, you can hold pretty much any team in check if you are willing to put in the time.

I would like to thank all the little people. Gary Coleman, Emanuel Lewis, Shorty. I'm sure I forgot a bunch of people.

Oh, and LE. He was instrumental in getting the DOD where we are today.

To be honest, I still prefer this over what PW was when it was first added to GLB. Back then all you had to do is run up the middle 100% of the time and hope that your opponent fucked up and ran outside or passed just once in order to win.

Agreed!

To be honest in Silver all you have to do right now is run up the middle with a strength back or use a pitch play with an elusive HB and you'll win a ton of games. I just pass sometimes for the lolz.

Passing is more fun though because you get to scream at the computer when your dot drops a wide open pass that could potentially go for a TD and win you the game...Not that I have done that or anything

Drunk dots imo

They always do say that Budweiser tastes like piss.

I"m not, actually. I feel like the game has gotten old and boring. I've just about had it with this game, and I'm not saying this because my team is bad or anything, we are actually in the semifinals of the 2 main tournaments and are playing Chicago in the final of the Combine tourney. I just am getting sick of the same routine with gameplanning and defense and it eventually wears on you. I will still burn through the rest of my flex with probably gives me enough to flex and custom for 5-6 seasons, but after that, I'm probably finished unless there is some sort of addition to help the game become more fun.

I've been doing this since season 7. Was in USA AAA before that. I just play now for fun and to kill time between fantasy football seasons and to take a break in between work assignments. I don't put much effort in the game like I did way back when but I still enjoy the game enough to keep playing. Quite a few things in the sim does irritate me from time to time but not enough for me to just hang it up. I think for me the time is what prohibits me from really getting into the game. A couple of years ago the economy was slow and I was laying people off left and right and had too much time on my hands with work so slow. Now we are back up and running at about 70% of pre 2008 economy crash. I still purchase flex from time to time but with the mods and attitudes from admins, I really don't think I will keep spending on a game that shows zero interest from administrators when it comes to obvious problems within the game.

I am hating this season more than anything, but that's primarily because we're the only No/No team in the conference and everyone boosts on day 1 instead of day 31 now with the new XP structure. (At least there aren't 16 CPU teams here like in silver....)

I agree that the limited selection of viable offensive plays is infuriating, and a lot of that comes from what LE says about zero interest from admins. My issue is that runs are basically worthless and passes at this level are super dependent on a random number generator. Did your QB throw a bad pass while your opponent's pump fakes are triggering left and right? Did your receiver manage to get wide open only to drop it while your opponent's are catching it off of deflections?
Gameplanning feels fairly neutered when 50% of your playbook doesn't matter. It's just deciding whether I want to run Pro Slants for the billionth time or mix it up a little with another screen pass.

There are a LOT of reasons posted above that I will no longer be fielding a boosted team unless there is a statement made by Bort or Catch to fix the SIM. This SIM might work well for the upper levels but it sucks at PeeWee. It's a fun game but IMO what we are getting for our money is JUNK. I like the new boost and training system, no problem at least now we can enjoy our boosted players for many more games. However there are still the variables in the game that just make me say WTF!!!! PUMP FAKE, I know there are several teams using QB's with 12+ in Pump Fake.... probably more than that.

This season EVERY Linebacker/Cornerback/FS and SS have been built with at least 49 Vision. Most all the CB's are 52+ Vision and Yet I still get Pump Faked like crazy! 13 Times to be exact against JKid and FG today, several going for TD's or 1st Downs. So how much is enough!! BORT, CATCH???? Or Coaches, do you care that things like this are ruining the game?

The only thing that I can think of to help solve the problem is to limit the amount of PF allowed in PeeWee players. Limit it to 5 until the Dot moves on past PeeWee. If there is any support I will make a suggestion thread in the appropriate forum.

I agree.
What really annoys me about the SIm is getting PF-ed on the SAME play three or four times a game.
that is not realistic.
I think if you get a PF for a TD, then you should be penalised for the rest of the game on PF.
And heavily penalised for PF on the same play!!

Just completely removing SAs from Pee Wee would eliminate a good amount of the problems we face...Pump Fake is way overpowered at this level and defensive INT's have been killer this season. Why not just go back to how it used to be where no one ever put points into SAs?
