Gave in and got this just now. Is there a thread for the 360 dynasty?
I actually forgot the single most annoying part of this game, the fact that the offensive and defensive players operate on two different versions of physics.
Offensive players can cut on a dime, are in and out of breaks on pass routes with no loss of momentum and can otherwise move freely with very little loss of acceleration.
Defensive players meanwhile have the physics of a semi or cruise ship. In run support, the slightest change of direction forces the defender to a near stand still before he can get going again OR he blows past the ball carrier because you can only turn in wide arcs without losing all your momentum.
In the passing game, you've got WR's making hard cuts with little to no slowdown while it takes the defense forever to gather themselves. That's why curls/outs/pivots are guaranteed easy money this year. Ironically the opposite comes true in rain/snow games where only offensive WR's slip while defenders (the most likely people to slip on hard cuts) never lose their feet.
There just seem to be two different systems at play. The read & react defense is a joke, all they did was slow acceleration and reaction times of defenders. Mirroring is still there, it just takes away routes with shallow cuts (slant/post/underneath/cross) while routes hard cuts (out/pivot/comeback/curl) engage the poor acceleration and reactions. The same dumbed down defense concept is also why the read option works so well, it isn't blocked right, they just force the defense into canned animations which they can't recover from until the ball carrier is down field.
It was hard enough last year creating realistic offensive and defensive schemes with the god awful blocking and super linebackers. Now this year it is almost impossible because the blocking is even worse, the mirroring remains on some routes and people can get away with running money route after money route all game because of dumbed down defense.

did you REALLY just copy this word for word from operation sports?
Yes it sums everything up perfectly and i wasnt typing my own opinion when this covers it
