I didn't read everything that was said..

But, 99.9% of the time, pressuring the QB is just as good as sacking the QB as it makes them mess up their throws and easier for getting picks. Not to mention that players don't get a sack everytime they almost get the QB also..

As for the DB's, yes, they still havn't fixed DB play yet, but made improvements AI-wise. I like the fact that if you throw into good coverage you get the ball deflected or intercepted, and 1 on 1 or blown assignments get you easy passes. That's how it is in real football, try to always throw it to your WR that is 1 on 1 and is in the best position for making the catch, playmaker helps get them away from defenders great by making them go through the middle of the field or come in. And when in doubt, always throw it to your RB in the flats.. Overall, its just that the DBs are mostly out of the position (facing wrong way, try swatting it down even though the already ran past the player idiotically and then let's the WR break away..etc etc) a lot to give up big plays..

As for the person who said playmaker hasn't helped them, I don't know, I've used it numerous times to set up blocks and gotten TDs because of it. Last night I was playing against my cousin and I set up 3 blocks in a row for the sweetest looking td ever where I pulled a Preist Holmes with Tiki Barber and hurdled over the last DB into the endzone

Other than that, keep practicing guys..
