2024 GG and Summary

First game against LeHigh Hawks
GG Pittball1

O 32/40 1x 7
D 23/30 1x 7

Defensive use:

GL 1 play out of 3 called 2 times (against GL offense) <- No Auto GL rule works
NDB 7 plays out of 8 called 24 times
Nickel 5 plays out of 7 called 14 times
Dime 8 plays out of 9 called 21 times
Quarter 2 plays out of 3 called 2 times.

I tweaked the old No-Auto-Nickel rule a little bit and it seems to work in the sense of diversity.

First pre-season game was not good, at all. 27 offense plays used and overuse of GL def.

quote loanblood "GL 1 play out of 3 called 2 times (against GL offense) <- No Auto GL rule works"
Great job on your play useage Ioan, I think you have the best settings & rules so far.

My GL defense, #2, was used 25 times! It was auto-called against any 2te & 311 personnel.

That means either I eliminate the GL defense altogether or I put in a rule to prevent it being used in "non GL" situations, like 1st and 2nd and 10 yds. I did not have that happen all of last season, so that was a shock.

Please, everyone check your play use. You do that by clicking on My Team, then Gameplanning, then OFF Plays and DEF Plays. Put "Number of Recent Games" on 1, and "Minimum Times Used" on 1. That will show you how many plays were used, how many times, and what their avg's were.

When you scout your opponent for the next game, let them know if you see any overuse of plays, or underuse of 4/5 WR plays, and 3/4 deep coverages.

If you are way off, like I was on defense, you need to make a correction. In my case, I will be putting in a Non GL use rule vs all 2 TE (221, 122) and 3-1-1 personnel. If you had the same problem you will need to do the same, if you dont know how, pm me or loan. Let's take full advantage of the pre-season to get our play use squared away. If you have a good mix, post it, if you are having problems (like I just did) post it, so you can get advice on how to correct.

Offense = 33/40 (11 personnel is my top formation. Only 1 play called in 01 personnel and nothing in 10 personnel. I am really trying to have more 4 receiver sets called)

Defense = 23/30 (My top plays are Cover 1 Man and Cover 2 Man with a mix of my LBs playing Man or Blitzing)

28/40 off
17/30 def

Mostly play balance issues. New playbook and plays on offense and defense had too many 4/5 cb plays and their offense only ran those sets like twice. Pretty fixable.

30 of 40 offense. Nothing called from 1T4W or 2R3T, at least 2 from the others.

Def, 18/30.
GL 10 calls from 2 plays
Normal 22 calls from 7 plays
Nickel 32 calls from 5 plays
Dime 4 calls from 4 plays

Is there slider setting I should have in place for Defense? I only saw the notes from the “Required “ post so not sure if I’m missing something else on Defense

I don't know your slider setting. Mine is all even for secondary and all even for LBs except Blitz 2+ set to 0.
Maybe you should activate as well a / the "No-auto-GL"-rule to omit use of GL defense in non-GL situations.

New plays on D subbed in seemed to called more often, in this case GL, nickel 335 and 43 under
