same principle as NFL: people say they love watching defense, and then the viewing figures plummet when there is a 6-3 game ...

Actually, I am not saying that offenses can't be successful, but when I watch 7 relatively balanced games (in terms of builds and players), and see 1 sack, no forced fumbles and no interceptions total (with over 400 passes and 400 rushing plays combined between the two teams...makdes me wonder if I want to spend 2 minutes day on my players.

you were gone during the super entertaining seasons when dots didn't do things. I mean ya I love paying hundreds of dollars to watch dots not do anything.

If this thread is about defenses not being able to shut down offenses, then you are doing something wrong.

I last played this game some 3 years ago, all my old friends are gone. I was once a good DC, not i am trying to figure out what I am doing. heh

so would it be safe to say you will be gone another 3 years?

Uh yeah, I like scoring.

Defense is fine except that blitzing LBs need some love and power rushing should push OL backwards a little better.

exactly. later.

we appreciate it.

as for the whole defense doesnt get love thing. D is a lot more fun and easier than offense imo. first season as a dc and im doing a hell of a lot better than i am at OCing and enjoying it a lot more. if you dont enjoy running a d/making d players, dont.

Well, after looking at some threads, it seems that it does get better as far as int's as the leagues get higher, that is good to see.

Yes, it is ok for you to say that, it is a bad business model for someone that owns a "for profit" website.

I love defense, not sure what's happening with y'all. I love offense too. I think offense is generally harder than defense to be good, at least at the higher levels where all the dots do stuff.. You can build your defensive dots to do stuff for sure. It just takes longer to see than (most of) their offensive counterparts.

ppl told me blitzing was dead. my blitzing lb was dmvp last season. i have 3 of them now. D dots are a lot of fun if you have a good DC/know how to build. you most likely wont rack up INTs with a young dot but when theyre older, you will.

OP needs to build offensive players

Defense by nature must react to what O is doing, yet. even as OC, I see very creative defenses that I have to plan against.

T2, it kind of got missed due to the number of replies, I was basing my original comment on the fact that i took 5 games from the 4 teams my dots are on, Both teams averaged 40 rushes and 50 throws a game, So, that is 90 plays a game times 5 games times 4 teams. That is 1800 plays. In those 18 hundred plays there was one sack, no fumbles and no interceptions (among all defensive players from all 4 teams AND THE OPPONENTS. Now my dots are rookie Dots, but so are the dots of the QB's WR's and RB's as well as the O-line.

THAT BEING SAID!!! Many players have posted links to prove it gets better as the levels get higher, So i am perfectly ok with that. But I still think in 1800 offensive plays by rookies, there should be more than ZERO turnovers and 1 sack. In two of those games, the QB was a CPU kicker.

But hey, if it gets better as the level's get higher, I am ok with it.
