VIII. Playing Rules - Defense
Play Calling[/u]- On offense, you are required to mix up your play calling. However, on defense, many teams in the NFL use a base defense (example Cover 2) that they play the majority of the time. Therefore, you are NOT required to pick a new defensive play every down.
That being said, blitz packages are not considered "base" defense. Blitzing is certainly allowed, but you shouldn't be blitzing on 90% of your defensive play calls. Again, we are trying to simulate what we'd see in the NFL on Sundays.
Goal Line Defense[/u]- The goal line defense can be called in the same situations as the goal line offense. Those are:
A) 3rd OR 4th down and 2 yards or less to go
B) Anytime inside the 5 yard line
Pre-snap Shifts/Movement[/u]- The following rules govern the movement of players pre-snap:
A) Only package shifts are allowed pre-snap, meaning any way you can shift an entire group (d-line, linebackers, secondary) by pressing a button on the controller is allowed.
