Good example of the catch-up in the original at 4:50 of this video (and probably others, since it happens on every play)

Played 6 games online so far and surprised that no one has done the strategy of knocking down WR's at the line. Seems like everyone takes the safety and just blitzes the QB, usually letting me hit an easy double pass for a big game.

Kicking online is a crapshoot though with the lag. I missed 2 short FG's in a game only to hit one from midfield to force OT. I ended up just closing my eyes while I kicked it since I figured I had just as good a chance as trying to time it.

I played my first game online last night against a wildmanbill or something like that. He would knock down all of my wr's and rb's right off the line. Albeit a great strategy but it really turned me off to playing other blitz folks online. Hopefully that isn't how everyone plays. He also used the packers which I'm guessing is a cheap team online. I checked the leader boards and he was ranked #2 so I was proud to have only lost 7-27.

Anybody know how to counteract that strategy?

You can motion one player in the backfield before the snap with left/right on the L-Stick. If you motion him to the opposite side the guy is playing on, there's no way he'll be able to knock all your receivers out off the line. Many plays have the receivers spread to each side anyway, so he can't start the play by knocking out one, and then switching to knock out the guy on the other side - he'll just get the guy closest to the ball.

More than anything, the biggest thorn in my side is getting the guys who just rush the safety every play (obvious when they run in place at the LOS). You can use your motion guy to line up with him and then hold Turbo right before you snap. He'll block for you instead of running his route, and usually pick up the blitzer, which is bound to leave someone wide open (and even if it doesn't, single coverage in this game is risky to say the least - you'll probably get a completion anyway).

Also, I beat the Pack twice in a row with Dallas. They're not invincible.

Run a play where one of your WRs motions behind the line of scrimmage to counter pushers.

Try the play on the bottom right corner of page 2.

It's my go-to play for teams who push a lot.

I gotta say, I love this game, but man, some small issues have really been killing me. Not that I'm mad about them, but they've literally costed me some online games.

I was ranked 106th in the world at one point. Now I'm at a number that is no longer even worth figuring lol.
