A close call today

I had a serious close call in the regional cup today, winning by the barest of margins at 7-0. Does anyone have any thoughts about how to rejuvenate my offense? I mean we have gone from scoring an average of 35 points per game down to 17 total in the last 2 games. Defensively were okay, we have several shutouts and the most points given up is 21 in the season opener. I really hate to tinker with the offense in midseason, but the strain on my defense is getting worse all the time. I know the obvious solution is pass the ball more, but its a different style of attacking that may require a retooling of the whole unit, and thats dangerous to do in mid season. My most immediate project will have to be finding a back to pair with my playmaker and take some pressure off of him.Last edited on 2009-02-11 at 23:57

Play with different formations and options between run only, pass only or half and half during your friendly matches to see what works best for you. These are the games that are worth losing by experimenting personell and formations.

I would not worry too much as you know your defence played well and not sure what his set up is but 4th and 10 at 0-0???? you scored just after that so thank your lucky stars you did not get pinned into your own 20 to start the drive

It just looks like a good tactical match up to me meaning the game was always going to be close. I beat the league winners 0-3 last season and thats exactly how I called it - one score would win it.

At this stage of the game most games between humans, especially those who just started, are close and low scoring. As others have said, the best thing to do is experiment in friendlies and games against bots to see what offense works best for you, and make sure to keep the defense strong in the mean time.
