the turk, the original owner, the guy who made his million here

was asking for better descriptors once

because "hits a single" six times a game is dull

so aficionados sent in some suggestions

and now you get the occasional texas leaguer or such (which nobody even knows what that is anymore)

livened up the PBP. changed nada

OFFENSE
Notre Dame Box

DEFENSE
4-3
Defense lines up for a pass with a cover Medium. Dennis Steward takes the snap and drops back to pass. The offensive line gets the first step. Here comes that strong defensive line, they are starting to break through. Powell (Merrill) is covered at the UL 47 (Deep). Powell (Merrill) is covered at the UL 47 (Deep). Powell (Merrill) is covered at the VT 47 (Deep). Steward throws to a covered Powell (Merrill) at the UL 36 (Deep). Powell catches in a nice pass from Steward and is down. 24 yards on the play.

now does that really mean Merril was on Powell the whole time? it seems to. but look at the route depth. did Powell really run 35 yds downfield, stay there for a sec or run to a sideline, run ten yards deeper, and then run seventeen yards back to the QB to bail him out?

possible, but unlikely. i mean at some point Powell's gotta be uncovered, and then in a zone maybe recovered by someone else

but no. the PBP says he was on him like stink on sh*t

not much of a zone i would say, if you can believe the PBP

Are safeties automatically responsible for the deep zones of a pass defense? What about LBs and underneath zones? (helgi - Hall of Famer - 3:51 PM)

Safeties have a higher priority in the long and deep zones, and the LB are more likely in the medium and short zones. The units are calculated for each step of the play, so the DBs will adjust and be more influential where the receivers are.

So CB's will cover WR's, LB's cover underneath RB's and TE's. If LB's are set to blitz or line then Safeties would cover, correct?

JConte, Norbert, oriole_fan, and sebel all contended that every single play is simulated one at a time, and independent of each other. Results are, they claimed, based solely on the play called, the personnel on the field, and a series of "checks" that determine how the play is proceeding.

I haven't played the game in several years, but it never really felt like that to me. It always seemed like every player - especially on defense - acted more as a part of a group rather than an individual player.

There is another football game online called Goal Line Blitz. It's nothing like GD, it's more like a "football player RPG". But the one cool thing about it is, when you review the play-by-play, you get an X and O representation of every player and what they are doing on that play. It's one of the many things I wish GD would implement, but it's certainly not feasible given the current circumstances.

From what I understand - the CB and LB coverage is correct, but the safeties will cover based on the depth setting against passes as set in the defensive playbook.

Does anyone notice anything suspicious in recruiting in Wilk? Notice anyone utilizing the "golden moment" loophole???

Nooo this is horrible! Hate that you are leaving my friend but I understand. There needs to be an update something fierce. I'm super sorry to see you go and i thank you for all the help you and your videos have provided me.

I did have a "glitch" in my Wilk recruiting. There was a time in between cycles that a recruit was yellow to me and another team but before the next cycle occurred he went red to me. After my efforts of the next cycle he returned to yellow but it wasn't until after the cycle went through and the fact that I had to put effort into him. It seems to be the display lag or whatever has been brought up in the forums. I don't know if it affects any outcomes, but I did send in a ticket to WIS to let them know that it had happened if they thought they had indeed fixed it already.

It cost me more money in Leahy, the recruit didn't turn back to the yellow, he turned red so I had to put money in to switch it. Won the recruit but this game is getting very buggy without any daily or weekly notes from the developers.

Sorry to see this stop. Are you planning to quit GD entirely?

Lots of quality discussion here, and information from quality coaches.

ugh

#5: I've noticed this last recruiting cycle. I believe I posted a rant on here about the glitch and I was on the short end. I still won the recruit but theres definitely cheating, loophoole. I'm not sure it was because North Texas user did it which caused my player to turn red in that short few minutes or if the glitch is was just there and something caused the player to turn red and take my money. So I wonder how many coaches know this, tbh I'm too lazy to replicate but definitely needs to be looked at. Could've saved me $10,000 in those few minutes alone. I wonder how much I've drained from it. I'm saying this golden moment is being used during battles as well against other coaches if they are in a battle that little window. But this could all be UFO talk.

EVERYONE SHOULD SHARE GLITCHES AND CHEATS TO HAVE WIS AWARE AND FIX IT.

I have one #6... If you run with the QB/WR you won't fumble. I should put this in my offense especially at the goalline because I fumbled at the 1yd line in the playoffs with my RB to lose the game..

#7: THIS STILL IS BEING USED. I try to keep an eye out for usernames and weird recruiting. If you get a 2nd username you can get a job near your primary team and AC scout for you. Or battle your rivals to drain there money. I know WIS doesn't lookout for this bc they have other stuff to do but it does happen in every world. Most arent obvious.

#6. Uh, no. They do indeed fumble.At least on my teams.

sure do...at least qb's do
