ok hear me out on this one, it might be fairly long. Also this is probably a NGTH but who knows..
Right now in the pass game its fairly easy to complete a pass into single coverage or for that matter single coverage with zone help. The chance of completing it is near that of completing a short pass sometimes. Right now its much more rewarding to throw deep on all 3 plays of a down because somehow someway you should complete a pass. Here's my example/analogy to GLBs passing game:
You have 2 banks, one with 1 million dollars in it and one with at least 100k. Both banks have similar security systems so the chance of breaking in is fairly close. If you were given the choice, which bank would you choose to break into? The one with more money right? Because its more rewarding with a somewhat similar % chance of breaking the system and getting in.
See my point, its not at all realistic that the one with more of a reward comes at a similar risk as the lesser one so here goes my suggestion.
Instead of trying to fix the sim up and tweaking things in the pass game which could result in another buggy sim why not.... Unlock ball hawk for guys in man coverage. Now here's the twist, ball hawk can only activate for these guys in man coverage once they are say either 15 or 20 yards from the line of scrimmage before the ball is thrown. That way it doesn't effect the short passing game but only the long passing game.
Right now mostly ever defense you will play against is a cover 2 deep... Why is that?.. Because in single coverage guys can get destroyed by fakes or the lucky catches these WRs can make.
Looking back at the earlier s20ish games (anywhere from s20-25) it wasn't as high scoring as this and defense's actually had a chance most of the time. Now its a bunch of high scoring affairs where the defense has had an arm and a leg chopped off. I have nothing wrong with fun offensive games but at the same time look at how hard it is to put up such a score. It all goes back to the long pass game which imo should not be as powerful.
I'd like to see a sim where the defense has a chance at least and the offense/OC has to work a bit more to put up a bunch of points. 60 or more points in a competitive game is pretty damn high imo.
