I honestly think that the QB/DE is the best for ME, everyone has a different play style.

The reason i like QB is that it makes him unpredictable. i can run i can pass, and you cant do anything about it, there is a 99% chance that you will get good yardage in one play, DE is good for me, i like him there, cuz hes a threat to the QB and RB on every down.


Him being unpredictable has nothing to do with it. Its more like your QB is broken. Like i said he is a one man army who can beat you all by himself even when the rest of the team sucks. The only thing that "you can't do anything about" is the QB who can run for huge yardage at any time. I would love to see a QB franchise just sit back and pass, but we all know that will never happen because i would get Ints left and right like i do against WR franchises as they both have the same playbook.

I have called the QB franchise "the dark side" for a long time.
imuho, a running running running QB franchise is not football.
It may win online, but it is not football.

I like to play football, not running running running, it is not fun.
My QB is prepped and ready to run, but he is only
one weapon I use. I like to run, baiting the other
guy to bring up his Defense ( hopefully a goalline stance ; ) then we start passing, or vice versa...or both....or neither, not to give away too much.

Football is running and pasing and deception about what one will do.
A freekin amped out QB franchise runnning running is lame,,always has been.

"broken" is an intersting way to say it,,,but I think I understand.


I think I may start turning down matches if
someone shows up with a franchise QB, it is
better than stopping playing ranked.

Well i gave my word that i would. Actually the only way i would come back to ranked play is if a DLC came out or they gave an update fixing the broken QBs.

which player on defense isn't A+ ???

what is your offensive line's rating?

oline is A-,and the other 2 is B+. as for the player that is not a+ thats actually on the field it would be dupree. i dont train webb since he is never on the field starting and dont consider him as part of my defense

what would your suggestions be for "fixing" the "broken" QBs?

and, I dont think Blitz is dead at all.
As a mattter of fact I am surprised at the
number of people playing online.

Of course all the new people could just be new
profiles of old people, but I watch the boards,
(when I am intersted), and there are always a lot
people playing, and a lot people playing with CPU teams.

The DC thing is a game within the game.
I dont have much tropuble, but I also will
not accept a match with the goofballs who
have crazy records e.g. 2-10 / 923 / 60% DNF,
heck I will not play anyone with a 25% + dnf,
and I shy away from people with a 15% or higher.

I think most of the 15-25% dnf are really just quitters
who cant take a loss, and lie to themselves about all the
losses are dnfs.

then of course....
Some people really have bad connection,,,they must
live in a dorm or something, and they will infect you,
IF you allow them to. It is quite stunning to see really good
players, who win big, but cant stay on the boards
because of thier bad connections.....

..thne you see people like itzmoostafa finally fix his
connection and soar to the top almost immediatley.
(I am only assuming he fixed it, I dont know for a fact,
but I watched him suffer for a long time, before soaring to the top)


( lol .... I do know that I dont wanna play that mofo, cuz I like to win ; )

I wrote a whole thread about DC THEORY, and since I started
taking my own advice, I dont have much of a problem with DCs,
HOWEVER..I still get biten.......but it is a game within the game.

I'm just saying. I can stop damon. I don't know how you would fix a QB franchise there so broken. Maybe lower there break tackle online.

And by blitz being dead i meant that their might not be anymore games just like NFL street ie a dead franchise.

DLC just means extra/new content for the game, but it can mean another as is the case with GTA 4, but it can also mean things like extra levels or characters, etc.

Well my DNF% is 19. Most of my losses are disconnects, not wins. but unlike ITZmoo i've got skill. He just knows all the glitches, clash locks people with shank kicks, and QB runs till the cows come home.

The best way to fix the "broken" QB that you guys are talking about is to just stop them. It's a part of the game so nothing is going to change. The responsibility becomes learning how to stop and hold that person. I actually like it when theres someone who only runs with their QB... it makes it easier for me to shutdown their offense. If you're a good player then you can do this. Also, if you know what you're doing on offense you're NOT running your QB all the time.

Building a good TEAM is whats key. This game IS like real football. It's not all about one person. A perfect example is a game I played last night. My Franchise QB was knocked out in the 1st quarter for the entire game. The backup QB is literally unplayable. He is GOD AWFUL. Realistically he can barely get away from any defenders at all. I still stayed in the game and ended up losing in the final minutes. My point is, because I had a good TEAM and I played smart with my play calling, I was able to be very competitve against someone using a running QB.

I honestly think the reason alot of people don't like these broken QB's is because they are hard to stop. If I have an unstoppable running back who I run everyplay, would that be a problem? The reason that NFL QB's aren't running all the time is because it wouldn't work right... until... the Wildcat offense. If theres a way to make it work, then it gets done.

Huh? .... no disrespect meant, but, although you are good at this game, I have seen you get beat by these running QBs. I think the term used was "too slippery".

As I said, poorly trained, weak running franchise QBs are easy to stop, but well trained QBs are harder. The TOP RANKED players use this running QB, and you know it, could you stop them?

I am not taking a postion on this "broken issue", it is part of the game.

All I said was...the franchise QB running running running is not football, and not fun for me. I treid the QB franchise, and it is lame. At one point eesentre said the same thing, but if you cant beat em, join em.

I am not disrepecting anyone, only repeating what has been seen and read. I am not like some people here, who just take take, use use, and then disrespect.

Of course. I've absolutely been beat, but by people who know how to play. What I'm talking about are the folks who just CONSTANTLY run their QB 3 our of 4 plays. When I first experienced it, I had a VERY hard time containing those types of people. Now, after experience, re-thinking my teams training and my approach to defense I don't have a hard time with it. I'll be the first to admit I wasn't crazy about it at first. But after trying it out I liked the versatililty a lot more, I've grown to like the playbook ALOT more. At first I was strictly making him fast and running him, but I got shutdown and I learned how to use my entire team. There are definitely better players out there, I have no problem saying that. All I was saying is theres a way to stop everyone, you just need to figure it out (myself included). And I don't think it's a matter of If you can't beat 'em then join 'em. It's more a matter of figuring out what works the best and gives me the best chance to win. I tried many different combos of Franchise positions and this is what works best. I also have teams at TE and WR and had alot of success with them too. We don't all use dial-up modems anymore because we found something that works better and gives us a better advantage.

How is it that this game is not more popular?

It is so deep and long, It has kept us entertained for a year now, granted I took some time off due to burn out, but come football season .... BAM!!! I am back at it. Talk about replayability....what other game has anyone REPLAYED this many times, and it is a pain to do campaign**, it takes effort, but I find it still satifying, esp when the creation works online. I cant play regular football games, I am penalized so much, it is not even fun. NO RULES NO REFS IS BEST!!

The stupid NFL refs RUIN SO MANY GAMES WITH BS CALLS!! IT IS CRAP...... it is like when we play pool at my house, slop counts, and that way there are no debates about "did you call that shot or not " blah blah blah..of course idiots who only play slop are not alowed to play, I mean you have to have honor, but no rules no refs, no debates...get on with it is best.

In Blitz people still adjusting what they do, rebuilding, working on it, redoing it and BLITZ is still fun,,why is BLITZ not more popular?

**
PAIN TO DO CAMPIGN??

allow me to answer the question myself,
what is a pain about campaign??,,,many things..
here is a good example...
http://www.youtube.com/user/bobbyhayes7777#p/u/0/w3cxyJgvP4Y

PS
it has come to my attention YOUTUBE changed the
way it lets you see people videos. It seems it wants you
to log in first, well the trick is this.

The Youtube page will come up, and then quickly
link you to the login page....what you have to do is...
HIT THE X or STOP loading the page button as soon as the
page comes up, then it will not link you. just an FYI.
