Hey Hack,
I just had to write and tell you how much I have enjoyed your playbooks, especially this last one. While playing a game last night, I saw one of the best pc football simulation plays I think I had ever seen. I was so wowed by it I had to write and tell you just how amazingly close to watching a real football game it was. OK, here's the situation, it's first and ten, I'm on offense (coaching mode) just outside of the red zone (about the 25). I called a HB OT play from the strong I right formation, the defense was in a 43. At the snap the quaterback opens out and hands off to the HB, who is following the FB. The defense has the lineman rushing outside shoulder of the blocker in front of them, which makes a nice hole for the MLB to blitz, which he does. Here is the only cavet in the play, and it may not be if the MLB had a 'key on QB command'. When the MLB rushed, the QB handed the ball off, but the MLB continued towards the QB instead of flattening out and trailing the HB. If he had a 'key on' command after blitz, then both plays were perfect. After this point, things got really cool:
The RG missed the looping LDT who rushed in towards the HB. Since the LDT was in the gap where the hole was supposed to be, the HB slid to the outside. The TE picked up the looping LDE, which freed up the ROT to, get this, actually go downfield and make a block. He didn't get caught up in anything like you see with a lot of football games, he actually looked for a player downfield (just like in real football) and actually picked up the ROLB. So now you have this nice little hole openning to the outside with the TE sealing the DE and downfield blocks by the OT on the OLB and the WR on a CB. But the best part is yet to come. The HB hits the hole and runs down field. The SS comes up to make the play, but wait... remember the FB? He didn't get caught up and run into any of the other down field blocks, and actually takes on the SS, 18 yards down field! The FS finally comes over and stops my HB at the 1 yard line. I was so amazed by this that I promptly called four running plays (yes from the one yard line) and was shut down each time (which also says something for how good your goal line defensive plays are). Anyway, I think for all the fuss about what this game can't supposedly do, people should just download your playbooks and really enjoy some pretty realistic stuff. Thanks again.
