The problem before wasn't that DEs were "too good" as you guys all like to cry about. The problem was that no matter how good your OT was, even if he had 100 in every attribute, he would simply move out of the way of any DE, good build or not, and give him a free shot at the QB. It was utterly ridiculous and if you were at all objective you would have seen that. It was the same as a couple seasons ago when DTs just simply ran straight over guards for a few games, even if the guard was higher level and just as well built as the DT. Well that got fairly balanced, and hopefully the balance on the outside is there as well. A well built OT should have a chance to at least slow down a DE, even if he does have 120 speed and agility.

Once again you overstated the issue. While the DE was too dominant before but the problem isn't a hopeless one. It's a combination of lazy offensive planning, too much one-on-one blocking without help, bad build OTs, and way too many 4-WR passing plays.

The "fairy balanced" you mention has been more than proven in the forums to be ridiculously disadvantageous to the DE/DT making them utterly useless. The sack rate in GLB is LESS than NFL, when DE that's totally light years ahead in build againsst opposing OTs but still can't get a sack, those are not "fairly balanced"

The problem is that people compare the game to the NFL, but GLB can never be the NFL because the NFL has 32 teams with the best players available, they dont have bad builds or play CPU teams or play lower leveled teams which all throw off stats, Dont have DC's\OC's who go on vacation or Joe Dirt setting up the playbook. GLB is an uneven playing field and always will be. The Pro leagues are the closest GLB comes to the NFL and even they deal with CPU teams and leveling differences.

Exactly. My point is GLB should not be ashame of 250-0 games when the teams are so uneven. On the same token, should not be ashame of DEs putting up 200 sacks at the same time as HBs getting 20,000 rushing yards a season.

But Bort nerfed this game so DEs get "normal stats", and the horrific VA "Big Heart" was another artifical attempt to "make the score closer", and now there's "cruise control", horrible. Let this game work out the way it's designed - based on builds, not artifical controls.

What usually happens is 50+ level guys with average or below average builds get frustrated when their guy sucks at higher levels, so they go to the lower leveled leagues where they dominate for the simple fact they outlevel everyone else, so the masses scream to bort because someone got 50+ sacks.
