1. On a kick return (when your on D), yes there is a chance for a fumble, but chances are if its online the opponent is running it close to the out of bounds, so it can just fly out there and then you have no UNLEASH or clash and the offense has a good amount of clash.

2. If the opponent is in front of you and hes 5 yards or less to the TD, you will UNLEASH and either send him into the end zone, or you will end up using it and not having any clash, and he will get some for the yards hes earned.

3. Right before the half(when your on D). Your just gunna kick it away in a couple seconds so your Defensive stop means nothing. Of coarse if it stops them from scoring and their guy has already burned passed your secondary, then by all means take him out. If you receive the ball on the kick, you should still save the UNLEASH for the return.

4. On the attempt for an extra point.(of coarse if you are tied and the clock is low and it is the 4th quarter and this is the determining play, then use it)If you use this here then you just wasted the UNLEASH you could have used on the kick or on the first down, which is determining 6 points and not just 1 or 2.

5. Any time it wont really matter. On Defense i rarely use the UNLEASH unless it is a sack. because in the next play, you will have no clash and the opponent will gain the upper hand, if he has clash.

A few things here that I don't completely agree with...

I think it's a great idea to use an unleash on the kickoff. It's one of the easiest ways to get a manwich. Theres been times I get 3-4 in a row and keep racking up the TD's and the clash icons.

A good tip...
If the computer busts a big play (pass or run) and have gotten into your secondary. First, don't tackle them right away. I run with them waiting for another guy to come so we can do a manwich. If it happens where no one shows up, I've noticed alot of the time after letting the opponent run and then you nail them with an unleashed near the goalline, they WILL fumble.

Theres alot of the time you shouldn't use an unleashed on defense, but there can be benefits. Anything that will result in a loss of yardage, its worth it. To cause an injury is also good. I play with the mentality that on the next play I'm going to get a sack, a loss, or an incompletion giving me just enough clash for the next play.

Wrong you dont use your unleash on the kick return because all a person would have to do to avoid fumbling the ball is get by the sideline and you will not make fumble youll just knock them out of bounds and waste your unleash and if your down your going to get picked apart ive seen to many people lose like that thats why i use it when im on defence or offence

If a poster has less than 50 post ...BEWARE.


I agree with essentre,,, OF COURSE.....
( he is only one of the best Blitzers out here )

listen to what he says, if it dont make sense ask him,
but dont bal ...blah blah blah ... "WRONG" .. blah blah.



giving advice here is pretty much a thankless task,
but it does actually makes me better, it seems to bring me good things.

this whole thread is kind of stupid.


THE FIRST GREAT POSTER BEAR SAID,

IN CAMPAIGN, USE YOUR UNLEASH ASAP....ONLINE it is a lil different

You certainly have the right to your opinion, but I don't think I'm wrong. This is where using judgement comes into play. If you don't see that you can get the 3-man tackle or the person is running out of bounds like you... then obviously you don't use it. But by knowing where to kick the ball and how to run down the field with your players, I'd say I can get a 3-man about 80% of the time.

so if you have an unleash on a kickoff you wait till there are at least 2 of your guyz around then tackle and you should get a manwich???

Yea, pretty much. Like I said I find it to be one of the easiest times to get one because everyone bunches towards the middle of the field.

Basically here's what I do...
Kick the ball slightly to the left. Then since my Franchise is a LB I run to the left (this is looking from behind the team and coming from the top of the screen) and swoop around so he's basically running down the middle of the field. Usually he goes untouched. By swooping around it gives time for my other teammates to get near the ball carrier. 8 or 9 times out of 10 it sets up a perfect manwich and I'd say more then half of that time you can recover a fumble and run it in for a TD.

Now there is one big drawback... Sometimes you DON'T get the 3-man tackle and just do an unleash. Of course, you can get lucky and they'll still fumble, but if they don't you're stuck with no clash and on defense which can be tough. Hope that helps.

I said this was a stupid thread becasue there
are no "one size fits all" when it come to unleash.

The things essentre are sugggesting are upper level
concepts. As your game improves you can go there, but
early, you should do other things....learn the game, and then adapt.

this game is long and deep....and I dont mean long in time,
I mean like a LONG AND DEEP LAKE......there are many things
to this game, which many do not see, do not know, just
like the things at the bottom of a long deep lake....
and just when you think think you are master of the lake,
a rogue wave hits.....


Stay humble, sail/play with honor.


PS
that Steamers game can be a a pain, until you know
how to play them...it is a good game to learn about
juts knock Cho on his ass as he comes off the line.

Stay in a pass protect defense,,,grab some INTS,
IF they NEVER get the ball, even better, so it is
a good game to use the concepts diesucced here.

ALWAYS BET THE MAX!!! ALWAYS COVER THE SPREAD!!

MAKE BIG MONEY TRAIN WELL,,,,,BE A WINNER,
STAY HUMBLE, PLAY WITH HONOR.

regarding online play.....
EVERYONE TAKES A BEATING, SOONER OR LATER, TAKE IT LIKE A MAN.
THIS GAME HATES QUITTERS ONLINE, YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED
BS DCs BASED ON YOUR DNF RATE,,KEEP IT LOW, TO KEEP THEM LOW.

damn right I have....and I took it like a man.
I have never been shut out, but sure, I have
lost games, and taken beatings,BUT, I have won
many many more, and delivered many many beating,
BUT most pussies just quit, like the ***s they are,
cheating me out of my well deserved pf/pa stats.
You can not have several profiles in the top 20 without being a winner.

Sometimes I will be #3 on the month with a lop sided
pf/pa because I took my loss, and the number, but the
***s I wasted quit, so I am not credited with the pf/pa

(point for / points against)



The issue is, in this game when you get down,
and it is going baddly, it juts gets worse, cuz you
are out of clash, and stamina going down, and they
are good, and it become lopsided very fast.......BUT..

When I am getting whupped, and it is hopeless
I go for BLOOD!!!!! ... I KAMKAZI RUSH AND INJURE
AS MANY OF THAT FKRS PLAYER AS POSSIBLE...CUZ I HATE LOSING!!!

BUT I NEVER QUIT...I PLAY ...I WATCH... I LEARN..
I INJURE THEM,
THEY DO NOT THINK I AM A PUSSY WHEN IT IS OVER...

RARARARARRARARRRRRRRAAAAAAARR...KILLEM ALL!!!

winning is better than losing,,,as a rule.

Worse than beatings are dumb losses, I hate losing
when I made dumb mistakes to an inferior opponent.

I DO NOT mind, as much, losing to a better opponent,
I learn from them and I come back BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER..AND I HAVE.

I have wasted more people, and delivered more beatings,
than I have recieved....which makes the beatings easier to take.


As Henry Hill said,,,
we ALL take a beating sooner or later,,,TAKE IT LIKE A MAN!!

ya i see what your saying, I did not know that they WILL fumble close to the goal line, i always thought that was the game being a dick if im doing good. But i got what i wanted from this post, a reply from a good player and i learned some new stuff. Thank you Essentre, i always want to hear from you on post, you know wha your talking about.

yea i dont play much online but i know what your talking about gregg sometimes when i started playing online for the first time i was beating custom teams with the hammerheads but they kept on quitting like after halftime i got mad and i just stoped playin online for a while i have recently been on it like a bout a few times and my record right now is 5-2 it would be higher but again i dont play online much and some thing else i hate is when i lost once the guy started bragging about it (i was using the hammerheads again cuz im dumb like that) but i checked his record before the game he was 1-10! i was his first win i guess i felt both pity and shame but then i just decided whatever and i played another match won it then i havent played since

standard story about online BS....lot of talkers in
this game ,lot of full of BS.

Now, are you saying you play with the CPU team
the hammerheads or is you custom team called the hammerheads?


Keep going and you will get yout custom team going,
it takes time, and then there is a "discovery" and
you must rebuild ...again....to be competiive.

At one time the QB killas were all the rage, and I
was good at that, but then it became less effective,
and I had to rebuild/rethink...it is constantly moving,,
and NOW, even the crappy players online are good ...online is tough.

PM me if you would like to scrimmage me for fun online.
