1-5-5 and 2-4-5 defense awesome?

[Splitscreenprod]

I was wondering if someone else would check the 1-5-5, 1-5-5 prowl and 2-4-5 defenses for me as I seem to be able to get a sack on every play with them. Is it just me or a game cheat? I played against (granted this is in my third year dynasty) Wyoming a C+ team and had 12.5 sacks. I thought huh, maybe my defense is just awesome and Wyoming can't handle the rush. I tried again against Iowa a B+ team and had 10 sacks. I'm playing as FSU and my defense is rated B+. Someone else try and it and see if they have the same luck as me. I haven't tried it online yet though mostly because I hate the new online play.

I've had really good success with the 1-5-5 in 3rd and long situations which is really the only scenario I've felt comfortable with it. It may work but I just don't trust 1 down lineman in any other situation.

I've used the 4-3 for as long as I've been playing NCAA (about 10 years) but haven't had much success with it this year which is why I switched to the 3-3-5 so far this year.

I mean technically it is cheese to use on any play other than 3 and long

I played someone online who only used the 1-1-5 and I thought it was kind of gay.

then he should've been penalized for only having 7 men on the field

there is no rule that says having less than 11 on the field is a penalty.

4-2-5 baby!

[goh]

2-4-5? I haven't even seen that one. 1-5-5 was pretty nice though. Don't think it got me a sack every time but it shutdown the plays I used it for.

4-2-5 is broken I think. I mean it would be my base defense if not that if you blitz with man coverage... you will have your Right Linebacker covering the slot receiver on the other side of the field.. granted, it may be what its called for... but when your linebacker doesn't go over and be on top of him even when you have press coverage on.. allowing for a quick hit to that receiver and a touchdown, then I am pretty sure it is broken.
