Most TD are from big plays. you lost because of 2 big play. increase the tackling of your players. that is the key. remember in GI, 2 missed tackles on a pass = TD, 3 missed tackle on a run = td. Samuele Ventola (WR/R): (KR/R) for 49 yards for a TOUCHDOWN! Missed tackle - Dillan Holthuis (LBO/L) and Holger Markus (SS/L). pass complete (KR/R) (WR/R) for 13 yards for a first down! (KR/R) for 49 yards for a TOUCHDOWN! Missed tackle - Dillan Holthuis (LBO/L) and Holger Markus (SS/L). but another thing is what i said earlier. Positional rating. Since both teams had fairly low positional rating for players, you will see lot of randomness. as your players skill gets higher and pos rating increase, you will see more consistency. Offense takes time. Tackling is at the stage your team is at, the biggest part of defense I think it's rather weird because those 2 players have 7 and 8 tackling actually my best LB and best SS. Think it has to do with the positional rating. Got to work on that one. thanks Positional rating is definitely a possibility. What are those player's strength? 14 and 13. Could it be a bug or something? These 2 are very important in my D if anyone would miss tackles it should be my corners. I don't know if I would call it a bug. 7 and 8 are good tackling for our lower division, but that doesn't mean they will stop everyone. You should scout the WR and see what his carrying, agility, speed, strength, etc are.

True, but I dont think I want to spend good stadium money on a lost case

Well something with stamina hurt you. Take a look at the stat page.

His offense started with 21 1/2 total stars.
His offense finished with 21 total stars.
Difference of 1/2 star for the whole game.

His defense started with 23 total stars.
His defense finished with 19 total stars.
Difference of 4 stars for the whole game.

Your offense started with 23 total stars.
Your offense ended with 18 total stars.
Difference of 5 stars for the whole game.

Your defense started with 24 total stars.
Your defense ended with 18 1/2 total stars.
Difference of 5 1/2 stars for the whole game.


You got down early and when you tried to come back in the 2nd half, your 18 star offense was playing against his 19 star defense. Not a good matchup. And he was moving the ball and sustaining drives because his 21 star offense was up against your 18 1/2 star defense.

Moral of the story was that if you didn't score early, you weren't going to win. That's why stamina is a big deal.

Not sure about either of those questions because I'm not TOO informed about the engine yet myself.

To my understanding, training on low helps your energy, but if your energy is at 100% already you might as well train on normal.

My goal is to get my stamina for my players above 10 on each guy. I want them to play as hard in the 4th as they do in the 1st. I'm training fitness anyways so my salaries don't spike, which might be what your opponent did as well.

Maybe a more seasoned vet has other answers, but stamina looked like a big culprit in your game as to why you couldn't get much going in the 4th quarter when you needed to.

I'll be focusing more on Stamina in the coming 3 weeks to help with my game to decide the championship in my division. Here is that WR: Samuele Ventola FalconsBrignano Wide Receiver 20 years old Talent: 1.5 Experience: .5 Ratings: WR 2.5 Team Chemistry: 5 Skills: Pos - 2 Tak - 3 Punt - 3 Vis - 6 Blk - 6 Spd - 15 Int - 9 Pass - 3 Str - 7 Ftwk - 3 Cat - 8 Agi - 7 Car - 3 Kick - 6 Sta - 1 Other: Tmwk - 6 Con - 6 Wks - 37 He doesn't look all that great. Strength is low, so I would think its not a broken tackle. Maybe the 7 Agility caused your players to miss. How is the Vision, Footwork, & Agility of your 2 guys?

My OLB - Vis - 7 Foot - 7 Agi - 8
My SS - Vis - 2 Foot - 1 Agi - 3
Ok that LB is really my finest but that SS is rather new in my team so I'm gonna train him on that.

Edit: Slider thnx for scouting the guy

Well, I can't think of anything else that would make your LB miss the tackle.

it's just the tackle he misses once in a million I guess.. kinda sour he misses at such a critical moment..
