About Sacks in MaxFB...

[Magnum357]

I've been playing a little bit with Beta Patch 1.095 and have noticed just recently that I'm getting quite a few sacks in a game. In the first quarter of one game, I had a team with 5 sacks and the other team had 2 in just one quarter. Now I understand that some leagues may have a different way of veiwing what a sack is. For example, I beleive in College Football, if the QB is tackled behind the Line Of Scrimage (regardless of Passing or Rushing type Play) that it is declared a Sack while in the NFL, a sack only Pass Plays can account for Sacks. What about MaxFB? Is this the reason why I'm indicating so many sacks? Is it accounting them like in College Football?

Also, I don't know much about Canadian rules, but are Sacks accounted for the same way as College?

If the QB is behind the line of scrimmage, he could still thorectically throw the ball, so I don't see how it could not be a sack.

There are still some plays where the center gets bowled over and the QB goes down within a second of the snap - that inflates the sack totals.

I have found that defensive players performance with regard to sacks is very sensitive to the "blk avoid" attribute, and the ratings on this attribute seem too high, therefore I have adjusted the NFL league (circa 1995) I am building by reducing BLK ADV by 4 - 6 points. I have seen a much more reasonable sack total since making this adjustment.

The center logic should be improved with the next patch.
