our defense sucks.
Our linemen make the job pretty well. So it's difficult to create holes to pressure the QB on center field.
For that type of play, I think I'll go for rounded proline strenght bases as soon as possible.
The lack of specialized defense players is obvious : the only way to "attack" the QB from the sides is to use receivers and runners to try straight sacks. My tweaked teams are offense oriented, and run pretty well (fast and straight). I didn't thought that loopers could be so important in the game, especially for defense play.
I need specialized loopers.
Finally, the field coverage. I'll need specialized defense "round turners", able to stay in circles, and not to go straight forward like joggers.
Next game : next week I hope. I've got some remaining rookie bases, I'll try to tweak loopers for blitz, and as soon as I will afford it, I'll go for proline rounded bases, a few figs more and miggle polo green dialed bases too, to create dedicated defense squads.
CONCLUSION : it was fun !
The reward seeing my work in action is really cool. I'm happy to have achieved a -I believe- good gameboard, and decent offensive squads. As soon as I 'll be able to play good defense players, the game will bring us to a higher level.
I hope my brother (and other friends, perhaps) will involve in the game. I saw that my basic training I made last weeks paid on the field. As I'll continue to progress, tweak and train, if I don't find involved people I will be rapidly unbeatable here in france...even if my level is a way weaker than yours, of course.
Finally, on a general purpose, as soon as possible I'll invest in a timer too, and I have to find solutions for the kicking game too (I've got solutions, but I have to realize them).
ANd finally....training, and training again, is the key to success ! We obviously saw the game level higher on the end of the game. Next game will be better
thanks again for all the people who helped me. I 'll not quote their names, to be sure to not forget anyone, but be sure I appreciated all your help, my friends
