This game can be very agitating sometimes.

OK so I’m playing a game in my franchise, I just broke a run with Nick Chubb who at this point in my franchise(year 2) has a 90 speed and I just got caught by a 6’4 269 pound outside linebacker with 87 speed. Chubb was in full sprint.

Can anyone here actually tell me they consider that realistic? Because I don’t. I’m sorry but I don’t.

It is things like this, that is the reason why people get so frustrated with this game.

Probably need to adjust your fatique but yeah, I hate the one cut and the fatique they added to this game. I hope they get rid of it going forward it at least get rid of fatique. It just don't happen in real life.

What is your speed parity set to? Lower will create a bigger gap in space.
Mine is set to 65 and this scenario rarely happens. If Barkley gets in front of the secondary it is church, every time.

I still have a couple issues with speed though, for one, at times see the exact opposite scenario when the AI is on offense. Where an 87 speed RB takes it to the house on me and none of my 90+ speed secondary guys can catch him.

And of course the QB nerf. Basically my 79 speed QB gets run down from behind no matter what the speed of the defenders is. Meaning a 72 speed DT who weighs 325 lbs can catch me. This is one of my biggest complaints in this game as it is nearly impossible to avoid a sack once a defender breaks into the backfield. You cannot outrun them, and there is no real side step type move to make them miss, so nearly every single time they are going to heat seek missile right into your QB for a sack and you can do nothing about it.

That’s the thing, I have my speed disparity turned all the way down to zero and yet I still get caught by an outside linebacker who has no business catching me whatsoever.

I also see the scenario sometimes too, where higher speed defenders can’t catch offensive players that are slower than they are.

Caught from straight behind or caught on a pursuit angle?

I hate in the run game that i get tackled by defenders through the block. I make sure to build my OL in franchise and have 90 lg 99 c and 90 rg, all with high run block and I cannot run through open lanes without the defenders grabbing through a block or miraculously shedding the block to make the play.

It’s disgusting really. When I struggle to score it’s because I am trying to run. This game rewards users who pass 100% of the time. It doesn’t simulate football well period.

@OP

What is the pursuit rating of the guy that caught you and the elusive rating of Chubb?

I would be willing to bet that the LBer with 87 speed has a pursuit in the 90s. Or Chubbs elusive rating is low.
