Yeah, the reason long TDs are the norm in passing is because people's CBs have crappy tackling. If you play CBs with decent tackling, a long TD pass against you will be rare.

I think I agree that the pass plays that break open are short plays with defensive mistakes. I have been playing a 2 TE formation and I'm amazed how many big TDs I get from my TEs.
I have a reasonable QB and WRs, but the completion rates are still low.A tweak in the pass stats would work well,and keep all those who play 5-3 Ds honest!!

FiN

they obviously are not good enough feel free to send all your 6+ tackling guys to me a lot of the missed tackles are happening late due to stamina issues. so far that seems to be the most important stat. I've got crappy tacklers who play well cause they're not tired.

Here's where my view on all this comes in - I believe that it is more than just the tackling skill. Skills such as Positioning and Vision must play a part. Do you agree?

Also, I understand that this is not entirely true in real Football. Well, far from it, but here is what the Game FAQ states about the Wide Receiver, and well, the Passing Game:

"A wide receiver is the player that runs forward and tries to make himself available so that the quarterback can pass the ball towards him. He is essentially a fast, agile player specialized in catching long passes in order to gain a significant yardage or even going for the touchdown."

Hope this helps.
