TomTupa Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Has anyone noticed that a defensive grapple is easier to win? I can almost always win a grapple on defense, but against certain guys I can never win on offense. There must be something in the code that makes the defender have the advantage.

edisaurusrex Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I think it's all in your guys' head - doesn't matter which side of the ball you are on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AugieNo2 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Don't forget to take HP into account. I've always found it easier to win grapples when the guy you're controlling has high HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep it in your mind the next few games when you and your opponent are equal in grappling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruddog Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Only if you are very equal in grappling skill. Don't forget to take HP into account. I've always found it easier to win grapples when the guy you're controlling has high HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripsmoke Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 It might be an illusion because the defensive guy is likely already hitting A before he gets to you whereas the offensive player is not. I sometimes lose sack grapples as the QB cuz I'm just not expecting a grapple to happen yet and it's too late to recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugieNo2 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 It also seems like the more grapples you win on one play, and the longer the grapples take, the more likely your player is to fumble when he finally gets tackled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you break 5 or 6 tackles on a run you are looking for the sideline because you just KNOW you are going to fumble, and you usually do. I know you have a certain fumble % based on your BC, but maybe every time you grapple it adds on additional % chances that you will fumble.

bruddog Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 No it only checks your BC if you lose a grapple. But it is possible they set up the random number check for fumbling funny but it's probably just your mind playing tricks on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripsmoke Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 No, I bet it's true. Just like how some players play below their attributes, and playing from right to left is a disadvantage because the defense plays differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
