The french guy and pass placement.
At french guy,
In the MPFL we use the term pass placement and not pass simulation. Im glad you have chosen that form of passing as your choice to operate. I personally feel it is the best system on the market today. I say this becasue it is a must to let the defense have a play on the ball. When you place down your sticks and football, the reciever and defense are angled to go and get the ball. as you see in real football as they both are trying to make a play. Also, this teaches you where to place the sticks/ball in different areas of the coverage. In other forms of passing you really dont have to look for a defensive back in an area. I say this meaning if you place the stick/ball down in the wrong area, YOU PROBABLY DID NOT NOTICE HOW CLOSE THAT SAFETY WAS ONCE YOU PLACE THE BALL DOWN. That defensive coach will angle that safety and he will beat your receiver to the ball for an interception.
The stick is the last leg of a receivers route and a skilled coach will scheme via zones and other various coverages. You gameplan totaaly different knowing you db's can run towards the ball also. They will know to develop a team with superfast fast ROOKIE BASES to cover ground rather quickly. These bases will be placed on linebackers and db's. In the MPFL, a coach may have a superfast rookie base on his defensive ends. This is to rush the passer and track down fast running backs on sweeps and screen plays. Tweaking for strength is not a major factor in this league. The mpfl is a simiulation football game based on timed stoppages. You get up to four stoppagess per play.This is how receiver routes develop and rushing the passer take form. You CANNOT cut the board off when you feel like it to avoid a sack. You must wait for the timed stoppage to run it's course. Each stoppage can amount to 1 or 2 seconds, maybe 3 sometime.
You have line backers and db's sitting in a zone watching and waiting for you to develop your play. As the board is turned on and running, there position is being held by magnets that are placed under the base. They are frozen in time while everything else is moving. This is done because they are waiting to react to the play. like you see the linebackers in the NFL or college shuffling there feet before they react to the ball. A defense in the MPFL gets 5 magnets to put on anyone except a lineman. They are basically placed on safties and linebackers. Your receivers are released at the line of scrim and free to develop there routes down field via stoppages. Defensive backs are turned around at the line of scrim and angled to run side by side with the receiver. The first stop is the snap of the ball to adjust players for the remaining stops. The second and third stops should be the specific route running design in your offensive package. What i am getting is you may have a receiver run a route where on the second stop he runs 10 yards up the field. You may see a nice open area in the middle of the field and decide, I THINK I WILL PUT THE STICK AND BALL RIGHT HERE. MY RECEIVER WILL GET IT. If you did not check the defense to see who is on a magnet, that defensive will take that linebacker and safety off that magnet. Turn him towards the ball TO RUN OVER AND MAKE THE PICK. Anthony burgess, the creator of the MPFL Alway's say's, "THE PLAYERS MUST BE DISCIPLINED IN HOLDING THERE POSITIONS AND BE IN PLACE TO MAKE A PLAY"
Another method inside and outside the MPFL is to drop your linebackers into coverage A great great coach named Doc smeby who lived in ENGLAND. Who has given his approval of the MPFL SYSTEMhas said many times to drop your linebackers into coverage. Start out 5 to six yards behind the line of scimmage. If pass, drop them back, ALWAYS KEEP THE PLAY IN FRONT OF YOU. If it's a run, they are close enough to closethe gaps to and make the tackle. ofcourse this is all dependent upon other league rules. This drop back method will not work if a ruleset allows a ttqb passer.The defesive backs have no play on the ball so an offensive coach will play shooting fish into a barrell all day.
Im not %100 sure but i think the attack passing system gives the defensive a chance for a play on the ball. I forgot how it works. i remember chris stacey and eightball was explaining it once. If a coach can come on here and explain it again that would be great. DO NOT GET ME WRONG ABOUT TTQB OR TDQ PASSING. I DO ADMIRE THE SKILL OF MANY IN THIS AREA OF EXPERTISE. I am waiting on geno for the left handed tdq as i type. But lets be honest, there is no play on the ball by the defense once a receiver gets open.
***There were some coaches who had IDEAS on using the TDQ and ttqb with defensive backs having the right to make a play on the ball also. if someone can come on here and type thatat idea again that would be great
*****FRENCH GUY, after all of that, HOW DOES FOOTBALL SIMULATION EQUATE TO THE WARGAMING ASPECT OF SIMULATION ?
can you and anyone else give the electric football world a slight peek into how the war gaming battle takes place.
my question is, WHAT EXACTLY IS IT ? I watched some at the toy wiz during some BAM games and could not understand what the heck they were doing. What are some of the rules and movement of the figure peices. I know they shake dice. Where are the figures supposed to end up
please enlighten
Thanks
