FRENCH GAAAAAAAAMMMMMME DAAAYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!

[the french guy]

Well...what can we say ?

Our defense play SUCKS

Even with the little training I had, and the good tips I received from here for playbook etc... I just was no able to make pressure on the QB.

I'll now take a lunch, and come back after to explain and find solutions for the next games.

ps : the game report is on the previous page.

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

Great report Dimitri

Just to know.....where do you exactly live in France ???
If you're not very far from Italy we can try to set up a game between your 49ers and my 'Boys

[eflfanatic]

on first game. Enjoyed reading about it and your analysis of the game. The main thing is you and your brother had fun playing the game.

[the french guy]

thanks !

@CoachLobo : I live in south west of france, I made you a PM.

The main thing is you and your brother had fun playing the game.

it was fun. My brother went for lunch today, so we spoke about the yesterday play again, it's a very interesting game for that. Really a rich and complete game

By the way, my brother almost surrended and accept his yesterday loosing...one thing I didn't say, on the last play (4th and down, last game action), his quarterback was virtually sacked.

I explain : he turned the board ON, searching for an open receiver...and suddenly yelled "STOP!!!!" THEN he shut down the board...between the moment he yelled "stop" and he switched off the board, my D line man sacked his QB.

In fact, he was so focused on the game than he yelled...to his QB (yes, tried to really speak to his QB ! ) to stop and pass, then realized that he had to turn off the board himself Since we 're newbies, and this move was respectfull of the game spirit (he "spoke" to his QB before the sack), I accepted the down.


Little history, I thought it was pretty fun to see that

[Coach K-LO]

Outstanding!!!!

glad that you and your Brother had lots of fun!

I thank you for all of us who were interested in the results (not the score mind you) of the 1st French MF Game!!!

Your recap made me feel like I was there!

Although no real stat (because they did not matter) the drive by drive replay told the story. And it only gets better from here.

Question for you - When will you be expanding both teams to 22 players?? That will be the only way to improve your Defense.

Hope that you are doing the bases for the Packers.....so both teams remain equal, talent wise. The rest of it becomes who makes plays or not.

I have the talent you seek............but you too can have loopers, but they can't be Ironman players.

[mark robin]

great stuff Dimitri. one thing you can try until you get better defensive specialist is to widen out your offensive linemen, that gives defensive linemen more chance to break through. dont go to wide, but just widen more.

[the french guy]

Question for you - When will you be expanding both teams to 22 players?? That will be the only way to improve your Defense

As soon as I 'll can afford it, simply as that You're right, tweaked and trained D squads are the key.

great stuff Dimitri. one thing you can try until you get better defensive specialist is to widen out your offensive linemen, that gives defensive linemen more chance to break through

actually we play that placing rules : one base width between bases (in the board widht sense) and 3yards between the bases fronts and rear sides (board lenght sense). In one word, each player 's got 3 yards space in front, 3yards space in behind, and a base width large space on each side.

Hope that you are doing the bases for the Packers.....so both teams remain equal, talent wise. The rest of it becomes who makes plays or not.

it's exactly what I did on the 2 teams : I spent a lot of time trying to make them equal and balenced. Seeing the yesterday game, I think I succeed. But now I have to work on the defense play and tweaking

You're off to a great start my friend.

How did those plays work out for you?
