Nothing. I obviously miss the game a little or I wouldn’t check out the board from time to time. But I am making much better use of my free time now. The game is engineered by a greedy company to waste our time and money.

I’m not far behind you.

I’ve played a lot the last couple of weeks and my conclusion: Overdrive sucks. To be competitive I have to spam plays, and I often end up losing to someone who is better at spamming plays. It’s not football. It’s idiotic.

It is best when you mash the receiver button but the QB holds the ball anyway.

Quote from Swaglife81 >> I dont spam and never will. Sure when 4 seconds is left Ill call Hail Mary or something but I never call a play more than 2x a match. That goes for Slot Cross or any other play.    If you notice as you get into the game, the defense is playing better and better. Alot of times they have 7-8 guys in deep coverage and the only choice is short passes and RAC what you can.    I can show film in HOF at times Ive scored 1200-1300 using 15 or so different plays. Not always obviously.   I have a 80-81 Ovr defense but since the update Im seeing alot of matches where both sides is only scoring 400-500 points each. Im doing better against Nagy also which was the most OP coach we have I think.

Quote from bigboybuckeyenuts >> Spamming is still in full effect. My tip to you is to look at the film of the players that absolutely destroy you and try to mimic their play calling as much as possible. That's what I did, and now I too am a spammer. PA Slot Crosses is a really popular play, which is available in Vertical (and West Coast I think). That is one killing me.

I notice that my opponents often call the same play 70-80% of the time...and it works! They end up with 800-1,000 points. So my questions are: Is the best strategy to find a play that works and spam it? Are there no frequency counters? If there are, do frequency counters reset with each new set of downs?

Quote from bigboybuckeyenuts >> I feel like its especially worse when its a PA play too. Yup

This game is killing me.
