Can 3-4 work in there? If the whole D is built to support it, what needs to be taken into account when building players? DT&DE are run stuffers, but what about 4 LB's and safeties?

if players are built for it, i see no reason for it not to work.

So how would those LB's be built? In defensive basic AI when you set blitz %, does that affect only LB's? Or does it just randomize the blitzers among CB, SS, and LB?

If you use 3-4 in the casual leagues any team with any sense will run inside against you pretty much every down.

Here's a question I've been meaning to ask:

If you are NOT using the option to Select Specific Play (Overrides Below Settings) how does the Offensive AI know the difference between Single Back Crossup (Single Back) and the Under Swing (Single Back) if both are in your Playbook...? Both are Medium passes to the same WR. Should the second one be REMOVED from the Playbook to ensure you want only the former and not the latter?

I ask because using the "Settings Below" allow you to specify the formation, receiver and distance, and that's all there is to identify the pass play.

If you ARE using the option to select a Specific Play for *some* outputs, (then presumably both have to be in the Playbook), for those outputs where you are using the older "Settings Below" option, I don't see how the AI can know which one you wanted to play.

If you are using "Specific Play" and "AI Packages" which allows play selection based on the *name* of the play, can every play then be in your Playbook (not keeping any out that the AI wouldn't be able to figure out which one you wanted to use)?

I hope I asked this right.

i'm hoping to switch to a 3-4 next season (haven't done it because finding an end built for the 3-4 is a huge PITA). if i have a great DT at nose, two good 3-4 ends, and good MLBs, would i be able to stop the run?

also, when you're setting your blitz settings with a 3-4 as your base, is it more likely to blitz OLBs then MLBs?
