The problem with Beta is in one league I've got 3 major weapons on offense and coming off Preseason Game #1 where I play with my 4.5 style aggression I didn't extract one explosive play of any kind of speed from an elite 95 speed WR (actually 92 speed, 95 acceleration), a 93 speed WR or a mega star RB maxed out in vitals.

On the flip side of the coin, in Legends, I crafted the deepest 4.6 tailored game plan on offense to avoid all over-use calls and to try to rattle up the game engine. Maybe it's a long haul wait and see but it looks like the only way I can break through is if I force run keys and beat that for gainers. However, if that doesn't work with the way I laid it out to try and achieve passing I don't know what will!



I'll pm you later with some thoughts. I'm pretty sure we can generate close to as many yards but the game play looks different.


Why the secrecy? why not be open and transparent?

Everything is already in the data that's floating around. Don't need to share game planning tips with everyone

Ok! I'm at a loss. v4.5 mash the FL Hitch and HB Flare isn't going to work and giving v4.6 it's wet dream by going 40 plays and 50/50 down the line in every segment of a game - Quarter by Quarter isn't doing it. Although, last game I -believe- I finally knocked out a run key with a massive passing gain. I think that could work pounding and pounding the strat for games and seasons. But then there's the AI helping the other GMs with the auto correct keying. (automatically going into the right key over and over)

Infinity is right about the running. I just don't know how the heck we can create explosive passing plays. Every game played can't be Raider Greg and you banging out extended drive beat downs with ...within the line passing chunks - no big hitters.

LOL That guy wants me to fail so badly he stretched deeply to post my record within a certain amount of games. I let it go but yeah, ok.

Honestly I'm tired of owners that don't defensive game plan complain about the offensive exploits being the only way that people win in 4.5. So I'll just share notes with the offensive game planners that I respect and make the next "exploit" offense.

I was gonna say I’ve gameplanned against Hitch and Flare quite well. You can contain them and prevent big plays if you gameplan correctly.

Exactly. The people that complain about them complain about the wrong thing.

The hitch is broken because the cb falls down. So it's easy to game plan around that.

The flare isn't an exploit. People just put a non cover linebacker on the rb and complain when he torches them.

4.6 has it's own "exploits" once people figure them out. But all it fixes with the hitch is the cb doesn't fall down all the time which limits gains to reasonable yards.
