1) ok to preface this
when you were
at me when we played in season, i actually sent 6(its the same as the old school thunder green with both LBs attacking the B gap
if it was a nano, one of or two those down linemen is actually in zone or contain/or spy
all a nano really is, is a fabricated zoneblitz
now back in the day before we had line shifts, nano's made the game unbearable but once you know where to expect them a simple shift of the line stops basically all of them. the problem is when ur running the ball
because line shifts wont make ur linemen block them any better. they are still coming free
--------------------------------------------
2) you dont have to reposition linebackers manually to pull off nano's
using show blitz and either reblitzing(manually hot route blitz) + hot routing the other players can be done within 2-3 seconds if you practice(Don Dada and L@cat do this fairly easy)
now i need it to be said, neither of them use A-gap nanos anymore(L@cat used too but he doesnt now) A-gap is the one everyone dreads because its the fastest. I only know B-gap and C-gap nanos(4-3 over and under are the only ones i can natively have 5-6 linemen down, my nickel formations would involve manual movement...unlike the 3-4 set nickel packages
)
more or less a b-gap nano involves getting 6 guys on the line then crashing from the side with more players, and whatever linemen are on the opposite guard and the center need to be in spy and contain respectively...if you reblitz the linebacker who came down when you showed blitz..you now have 4 rushers with 1 to cover screens and 1 player to cover short passes over the middle while getting roughly 2 second b-gap heat
BUT like i said a simple shift to that side kills the nano.(ask @
Don Dada F Poppa where i tested it, if he is real as he says he knows im saying 100% truth right now)
------------------------------------------------
3) nano's are defendable...shyt like seattle isnt. and to an experienced player one play doesnt break the game clearly we arent stupid. but just KNOWING that play could come from a certain package makes playing defense terrible. because unlike line stunts etc you CANNOT fix CPU coverage..period so if a route gets inside position or free release thats the end of it. unless you manually defend a route its gonna be open. And if you manually defend you bring up the possibility of longer gains as illustrated by the vid Don Dada posted.
unlike normal pass plays where you go through a progression of whos open. broken routes simply are open. and if they arent there is always a second read within 2 seconds. that first route is open <1 and caught in stride(aka big yardage). Outside of HB into the flats or stick...normal players dont have routes like that
------------------------------------------------------
so in closing @
Rekkapryde , your rule for manually moving LBs wont stop anyone from nano'ing and broken routes have been rampant between the "pac-12" teams since season 1. this is why even when i put up 87 it didnt take much for L@cat to put up 50. Contrast with me and Shugg or me and No Sleep that are closer to 28-21 games and 17-14 etc eventually if you start paying attention more youll see what i see. Its not one play or two plays but a play style. Its not sim and unlike back in the day there are many creative ways to get players wide open in this game compared to previous..its equivalent to how rocket catching used to be.
and mossing =/= rocket catching. I threw 7-8 fades on L@cat which were all successfully tipped away manually. and even tho im throwing shade on him i dont dislike him as a person just his game
hes pretty straight outside of his cheese strategies. unlike some virgins but in his own words relating to his knowledge of the game:
Bro there is nothing sim about your game @
MMSex.
You stay in shotgun all game long.
Your runs consist of sweeps and outside runs (nothing in between tackle) and fades that's it
Shut the fuk up about you being Sim than everyone else.
My under center scheme is more SIM than you period
what does formation have to do with sim
in fact i run dives probably 70% of the time but because im facing B-gap nanos from nickel all game i have to run counters away from it
so take it how you want it
