Strength: 81.37 Blocking: 12.4
Speed: 18.49 Tackling: 21.52
Agility: 23.89 Throwing: 10
Jumping: 8 Catching: 10
Stamina: 28.36 Carrying: 9
Vision: 13.71 Kicking: 8
Confidence: 12.91 Punting: 10

and yet he can't push his way over even the weakest of lines... we won a game 79-3 and I had 1 tackle... ONE MEASLY TACKLE. we out-leveled them across the board and I couldn't do anything?
I think bort might have taken this d-line nerf too far.

I would say someone should probably bring it up in the bug forums. I haven't run into too many teams I badly out-level because I'm still low level with my DT, but it feels like overall DT effectiveness as been over-nerfed. I don't expect DE levels of sacks, but the fact that it seems like a lot of good DTs can't seem to get past sometimes very weak OLines feels wrong.

I feel you.

I have around 85 strength and a bunch of levels of Strong Base. Earlier this season when I was level 28, we played a team with a starting LG who was level 18 with open stats, who had 54 strength and no pass blocking SA's.


Zero sacks, zero hurries... Really?

Well you cant judge a blowout for tackles. Once you get a big lead most teams will pass the ball and unless you have him lined up at SS hes not gonna be in on many. Also your AGI is low so even if you have more STR youre not gonna get off blocks very well. DTs are not meant to be sack machines but are not supposed to get owned by lower level inferior OL either. I think he adjusted it yesterday and you should see a little improvement. My DT went up against much higher level OL yesterday and had 3 TFL and was in the backfield more than he had been before, blowing up their C on several occasions when before he wouldnt get past them once.

Work on AGI to the cap and you will start seeing a little more improvement.

Hurries are more dependant on the QB and his confidence etc I thought? Sometimes you just get a little push and get a hurry, sometimes you can be on the QBs head and no credit for a hurry.

I think if people can compile some replays/games where it just doesn't make sense that they're not having any success and post it in the bugs forum we could make some headway on this.

I have been having troubl with my guy also but I am playing HIGHER levels.

now to the OP, you do realize you are lined up as an NT so you are not going to be doing much pass rush, also they ran alot of plays to the outside which you would not be involved in

+1, DT gets a lot more action than NT.

If you're a NT and a C and G are coming to block you, you're doing your job. The NT is supposed to occupy as many blockers as he can. That way it opens holes for the LBers to come in.

So did your LBers get lots of TFL, hurries, sacks?

Bring your other stats up at your level the others should not be so low.
