Is a “missed” tackle on a defensive player the same thing as the offensive player winning the break tackle roll? Or does it include being in position but simply missing/getting outrun?


It would have to be, surely, as the "being in position to" option would mean the game engine having to somehow determine a player *should* have made the tackle, which is subjective?

This morning I started getting an opt out and a consent pop up EVERY SINGLE PAGE I look at for MFN. This is the second time in the last year this has happened.

It is now unbearable to even be on this site.

The break tackle logic takes both the attribute and the player's weight into account (as well as speed, angle of the tackle, whether there are other players on him, etc). It in itself is not the exclusive factor. A small player with a high break tackle attribute can be similar to a large player with a lower break tackle attribute. Strength and size also determine how much a player will drag his tacklers, but the break tackle attribute doesn't come into play there.

That is to say, it's not a simple comparison of the break tackle vs the tackling ability to decide whether the tackle is successful

Here is BT logic. “Being in position “ is key in certain scenarios. Whether a defender is squared up OR only gets a hand on him are both considered broken tackles in the stat line. There’s a diving tackle logic as well.

the best defense is a good offense! or is it vice versa?
