None of this bothers me because it's all just noise.
Want my opinion on how to beat a LB zone defense?
I have NEVER based my offense on if my opponent used man or zone with his linebackers. I have no clue at all.
Everyone makes this game so complicated and there are simply no secret answers.
The game tells you everything you need to succeed game after game regardless of what defense is being used or what version we are in. There is no short cut to those answers either. It can take longer for some and some get it down quick but there isnt one absolute answer.
Everything factors in to what works for what team. Roster construction....coaching staff construction....plays available....play familiarity....play knowledge....QB intelligence.....offensive lineman run blocking vs pass blocking....speed of playmakers at RB and WR......quality of talent at FB and TE (are they blockers first or playmakers first).....years of experience for everyone.....fatigue settings......down and distance.....ball location.....quality of depth.....plus dozens more only to come down to a lucky or unlucky roll.
You can help people with general ideas and plays to explore but just because a play works for you at a 9.8 yard per average click doesnt mean it will work for another team (even one of you own).
There are very few shortcuts in this game.....trial and error is the only way to find out what works for the team you have constructed and for only this moment in time.
So no, I dont have a problem. I dont care if a dozen people get together and come up with a plan to beat me. Good luck
I cant give answers to somebody because I dont have some secret formula. I listen to what the game tells me is working and keep fine tuning it.....I'm not into all the xxx and ooo's......im not into computer codes..... but I'm good at math.....8 yards/att is better then 1.5 yards/att on offense and vice versa on defense.
