Further, we're talking about teams FILLED with subpar defenders like yours, so it's not as though it's one lazy defender getting bailed out because he's surrounded by a bunch of great ones.

2 - Totally wrong. (And this is where your blatant agenda pushing takes place, wanting to be able to preserve your only strategy of recruiting poor def guys. You fool no one.) The consensus opinion that has been prevelant for awhile is that sp/ath plays too big a role and def not big enough. The game is distorted right now, you can play good defense with a team full of guys that don't have good def rating. That speaks for itself.

And I "drop in from nowhere?" The title of this thread is "dalter's thread" and I've been one of the main participants. You responded to me. Perhaps we need to redefine what "dropping in from nowhere" means, huh? And everyone knows that you're agenda pushing, why bother putting up a razor-thin facade about it? There are very few people who are respected less here than you, what's the point of pretending?

No one is suggesting they need to make a radical change, the def would become the dominant factor at the cost of all other primary factors, or that a bunch of slow, technically sounds players will become the best defenders.

Those assertions are at best a straw man, and at worst just utter nonsense that no one here has remotely suggested.

I'm simply saying that the importance of def should be amped up a bit, that I feel it is currently too low, and when you can trot out a team of below averaged defenders and still play good defense, that's pretty much Exhibit A.

You do want slow clumsey guys to be better. I think it is clear that DEF has as much impact on preventing scoring as PER or LP has in scoring. If they were to lower overall DEF and make a def stud as rare as in real life I would have no problem with them having a bigger impact.

And I would never imply that one of two people discussing issues related to HD world was spouting utter nonsense just because I disagreed with him on a specific issue. I enjoy our little spats over technical issue.

The -5 is a dead issue. I already destroyed the myth of the -5 super defense while I still played it. I dropped the -5 and went on to have one of the best seasons ever last year withPurdue...odd that you always said my team sucked and couldnt win without the -5.

You are a classic drop in guy in some threads. You have tried to promote our feud and that is ok, just own up to it.





Swamp, you lost in the second round of the PIT. Exaggerate, much?
