Exciting news: The running game is no longer an issue in Greathouse

Exciting news: The running game is no longer an issue in Greathouse
Remember when you first got Backbreaker, and you kept saying "WOW" and all the things you would say and think when you saw all the hits and wild scenes that you've never seen in a football game before?

What would it feel like if you were to imagine that feeling again?

Well, you will get that feeling back again, because THE RUNNING GAME IS BACK BABY!

Not only for the user, but the CPU as well! The first time you see a great running back fake you out of your pants and run for a 75 yard score, you will say WOW again.

I have been working since Greathouse was released to edit the ratings so we can get the running game back and still have great defense, and now have the perfect balance between offense and defense. The new rosters will be released "soon" but VERY soon. Just want to make sure they are close to perfect.

In this historic NFL roster file, halfbacks such as Barry Sanders, Walter Payton,and Marshall Faulk will leave your best tacklers with broken ankles, while Earl Campbell and Christian Okoye run over your big bad LBs like they are little girls...

QBs Marino, Fouts, Kelly and Elway will bomb you like scenes from the hurt locker,
And yes, Jevon Kearse will have multiple sack games.

Everything has been overhauled to where the stars play like stars, and the teams perform as they did in real life. I've had 200 yard running games, 400 yard passing games and 10-3 defensive struggles ..the variation is fantastic.

I found out alot of things about the ratings that need to be tweaked...alot of unexpected and strange things... raise one rating, and another aspect of the game is affected, but I have it figured out....FINALLY!

The game is now heart poundingly fun again, like when you first got the game.

I am really amazed how the '73 Bills game completely revolves around OJ Simpson just like it did in real life. how the '85 Bears stop everything you throw at them, and how Marino to Duper and Clayton and Warner to Bruce and Holt get past you in deep coverage.

And yes, this can be applied to ANY roster you make....current NFL, current BB teams, whatever.

As I said, the new rosters will be released "soon" but VERY soon. Just want to make sure they are close to perfect.

Can you post what you did to the ratings to get the great gameplay?

Thanks!
Will share the file asap. Just final testing now.
The formula is literally a freakin' formula.
I mean it's not easy to write out...remember I've been tweaking for a month.
Raise one rating, and another aspect of the game is affected...pretty intricate, but I'm addicted...

How does your formula affect the pass rush, now that the run game is fixed?

Re: Exciting news: The running game is no longer an issue in Greathouse

Can explain what changes have been made, like what needed to be "tweaked" and what "unexpected and strange things" you've discovered? You say "but I have it figured out....FINALLY!"

Exactly WHAT have you figured out? I'd love to know if yuo have indeed created a fix for the running game but for now your post is filled with a lot of flashy claims and no substance whatsoever. For all our sake, I hope what you claim is accurate but I'm cautiously apprehensive at this point.

Please explain, in detail, what changes you made and what those respective changes effected in terms of gameplay.

This was my first impression. Look at slider discussions around these forums and you'll see many adding their input to what has been established.

Your post gives me the impression that you don't want to share the ins and outs of what you are doing so that you can be the first to claim the solution.
