jesper I wasn't saying my players are superior I was asking how to defend against an opponent who does nothing but pass when my teams players are at worst only slightly inferior.

I have lost a few games like this and thought I'd use the ask for help section to ask for help. Help which so far hasn't arrived as my post seems to have been side-tracked somewhat

I've tried doubling up the corners, still gave away approx 50% completion,

added extra safety, tho put him in middle and opponent played attack flanks, and got hammered!

Would try extra dl's but just been hit by injury there so was just hoping this new defensive system would help. Gambled on pass every down called it correctly but still lost heavily which was why I was so aghast!

I've been trying to figure out pass defense the last few weeks and have been using most of my scouts to check players on the teams that are doing well.
What I've found is surpringsly wide variations in skills such as positioning, tackling, agility and speed etc all things a good DB should need (but hey this G_I!!!). These variations have made it difficult to reach any firm conclusions so I would suggest you go down the same path of scouting and see for yourself what you think is happening with pass defense.
Some things I know for sure are that:
High BPOS is vital.
Ditto team chemistry and energy.
Alot of good defenders have high experience but I don't know if this a chicken and an egg situation ie they have high exp because they are good and have therefore played alot of games or if exp genuinely helps them to be better players?
I'm tending toward the idea that speed seems to be more important than I'd previously thought although I'm still not sure about this.
Doubling up players does not improve things.
Adding more DBs - I'm not convinced about this - there might be some improvement but it will not stop a real good pass attack.
I think that more pressure on the QB from DEs and OLBs may have more effect than more DBs - and I think speed is a factor in the pass rush. But I'm still not conclusively sure about this because a good O line is a big factor here too.
Sorry lots of 'maybes' there but hopefully some things to think about!

Imho BPOS is the most important factor.
Admin have said in the past it acts like another primary skill.
However, it costs nothing in wage terms!

actually the admins also have said that BPOS importance diminishes as your skill goes up.
