Good practice New York (N) / Brucehum

O 34/40 2x 6 -> 005, 014, 104 8x
D 18/30 1x8; 2x 6 <- all Nickel

This match had an AI focus on rushing plays. Let's see the next one.
I implented "no Auto Nickel vs 3WR" for the next game.

Remember to check your play use, the goal is 35 offense and 25 defense. You will probably need to make adjustments, which is what preseason is for. Offense personnel sliders should all be set a 10, other than 2rb3te (GL) at zero or one. To get more use of the 4 & 5 WR plays, increase the three personnel sets by 2, that should result in a use of around 10 times.

All defense secondary should be 10 and all linebacker settings should be set to 20 other than Blitz2+, set <5.

Good preseason game Mac/Raiders.

Viking offense: 30 plays used. 311/HB Sweep used 16 times, will need to make some changes for next game and get that down to a max of 5 times. Same for 113 HB Counter/11 times. Only one play out of five selected from the 113 was used 10 times!, quite a surprise. So the offense play use needs some serious adjustment and double check.

Defense: only 15 plays used, goal is 25. GL 1/7x, Normal 6/10, Nickel 3/4, Dime 4/25, Quarter 0/0. Heavy use of the Dime, have some work to do to get a good spread and more plays used.

You shut me out. Lol. Nothing good about that. At least my high vol QB boomed so we might not be terrible too long.

GG Ioanblood!

Our play selection:

Offense: 31/40
Defense: 25/40

I like that I got at or over 30/25 (o/d plays), but I still need to play with the sliders. Only 5 dime and 4 quarter defensive plays calls.

Good job and thanks for posting your results guys.

My preseason game vs Ai Pats.........

33 offensive plays used. 113 HB Counter was used 14x - 3.8. way over the 5 time goal. 311 HB Sweep was used 13 times, -0.5 avg. and 212 WR Corner TE Middle was used 8 times for 7.9. All other offensive plays were used 5 or less. 5wr, 1/1. 1te4wr, 2/2. 1rb4wr 2/2.

18 defensive plays used, well short of 25 goal. GL Attack #3 was used 12 times - 3.7 (due to Ai use of GL offense). Dime Dbl WR1 & WR2 was used 11 times - 2.6. Nickel Prevent used 7 times - 8.8 avg. Only had 20 plays selected/active, will correct that to 30.

So still am off on both offense and defense, but making needed adjustments. Dont know why the Prevent was used 7 times, thats a new one.

GG Green Bay

O 32/40
D 23/30 1x 7 (GL), 2x 6 (NDB)

GL defense was used 11x, all against GL or 311 Formations iaw rule. However, Green Bays use of GL offense was 80% on 1st or 2nd and long far away from my End Zone.

Secondary spread: All formations used except 3-Deep Zone.

Make sure you also check your Defensive personnel use, I found an over and under use that I was not aware of, one was caused by rules (now deactivated) and the other by a lack of play selection. To check your defensive personnel use, click on "Gameplanning", then "Def Plays", put your "Number of Recent Games" and "Minimum Times Used" both on 1. Then use the Personell box to go thru Normal, Nickel, Dime, Quarter and Goaline. If your Goaline is getting used more than 5 or 6 times a game, you need to know why, whether or not it is due more to your settings/rules or to your opponents use of GL, 2 TE, and/or 311 personnel. Normal, Nickel, and Dime should be fairly even with Quarter around half as much or more.

Then check your use of Secondary and Linebackers. For Secondary, 1 deep, 2 deep, and Man will usually be used the most, followed by CB/SS blitzes, 2 deep zone, and the 3 deep/4deep coverages. Linebacker has fewer coverages, Zone, Blitz1, Blitz2, Blitz2+, Man, and Zone In. Blitz2+ is a minimal use (1-3 times per game), the others should be evenly used.
