Alright I need some tips are something,, because this shit is driving me crazy.

Ok to get pressure on the qb, I usually have to blitz at least 5 to 6 to get pressure on the damn qb or genarate sacks.

Now while I will play others and the cpu.. And this fuckers have ppl in my backfield on 4 and 3 man fronts within seconds after the damn snap. It is maddening how this happens.. I mean I m sacked an average of 5 -8 times a game, and it is people are not even blitzing.

I know that is not because I am holding the ball .. forever.. there is times it is because of that.. but not often..
Most of the the time it is just the de slipping my tackle and Guard untouched, or flying around the tackle so fast it is just stupid.

Anyone know of ways to combat this. So I m not constantly in 2nd and 3rd and long situations.

I ve tried the line protection bs. dont work shift to the side I m intially getting beat other side starts wrecking havoc.. I try up on aggreesive doesnt work either.. the line goes toward the D line. which enhances the des ability to go around..
I m just lost and help or suggestion would greatly appriciated and please dont say step up in the pocket.. done that most times. I dont have time to step up in the pocket

Cuase I m talking about that pressure with no blitz you get when the qb has barely snapped the ball and less then 2 seconds your being hit or sacked
Not even enough time to throw a 3 yard quick route.

Welcome to the world of line slant attacks. It ain't pretty, and there really isn't anything to do about it. It is awfully overdone this year.

if you are getting sacked that much, makes you wonder what your opponent is doing.....

How about helping by suggesting something

People are putting there D-line on aggressive so they jump the snap nearly every time. Have to start faking snaps and move down the field on offsides penalties till people stop doing this bs. When I go aggressive I stay regular on fumbles, so my guys don't tackle using the facemask every time, and set the D-line to regular so as not to pull this crap. Perhaps it needs to be banned along with guessing the run.

Definitely watch how far back you are dropping. Last year you could just drop back and never feel pressure this year if you drop back to far and don't step up into the pocket the DE's will beat the T to you. When coming up to the line there is two different views you can use. The play view which show you the play which I believe is R2 and down and then there is a player view where you can see hot and cold players which is the opposite direction of the view play.

I didn't think so, but now I'm starting to. If you are the road team in a hostile environment, you are screwed. You can't fake snap unless you have a TOP notch offensive line, because they will flinch. And no matter how many times you do it, the defense (if they have momentum) will get a jump every time. And if they slant the line....you're fucked. The line slants are jsut as brutal as they were two years ago when you go sideways. I'm seeing DEs run circle routes around my tackles w/o even being touched, it's stupid.

after the game I look at the replays of the sacks. my fuckin lineman are idiots. guy goes right in untouched and 2 of my guys are watching me get drilled in the ground. what pisses me off is that I get sacked 2 plays in a row back to back. untouched and its fustrating. like the guys just give up on the possesion.

I average sacking my Opp about 1 time a game.

well hoos get prepared to set a new record.. today your impact DE will have a field day today.. Trust me..

I like plasma.. I can have a drive going perfect moving the ball at ease.. Next thing I know sack, then again sack. end of possession right there. And I m getting sack with 4 and 3 man rushes.. with everyone else in coverage.

err. Maybe my line just sucks.. Cause the CPU that cheat gets me too.

Same here.

At the very least, 2 per game, ,usually 3 or 4 times, 3 or 4 man rush, snap the ball, and my takle goes for the inside lineman who is already being blocked, and the DE just comes right in untouched to sack my QB.

I dont know if it's jump the snap shit or not since it's my tackle fucking up, but it sure does suck.

EA will NEVER get the Oline blocking down right.

Jump the snap, AI, whatever it is they will have some kind of flaw going on.

get on aim bro i gotta chat with ya

At work you silly sally.

Ill be on later tonight most likely.

I used to use jump the sap and slant my line sometimes and it was way too effective so I have stopped. I played Dak last night and sacked Dak 7 times without slanting or anything. I know in Cover 2 Man the right side of the dline can run a twist stunt and it works pretty well but is not in any way cheesie.

I had 7 sacks on Dak last night without any "cheese" features and 4 diff guys had these sacks. Some people need to learn how to step up in the pocket from what I have watched esp against a 4 man rush.
