This seems a little odd

October 21, 2013 at 07:31PM View BBCode

I know there are likely many bigger fish to fry but in [url=http://footballbeta.simdynasty.com/boxscore.jsp?boxscoreid=47253&thid=4530]this game[/url] at the 3:41 mark of the 1st quarter Tennessee's [url=http://footballbeta.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=479586]Mike Thornbladh[/url] breaks a kickoff return and gets tackled at the Jacksonville 123, a 76 yard return.

My issue is that this is something you virtually never see in the NFL . Thornbladh has a speed rating of 94, which is at least 5 points higher than anyone on the kickoff team so realistically after he breaks that second tackle at the Tennessee 46 there is no way anyone is going to catch him. As I said it's a small thing but I think it lacks realism.

Stamina is the issue here; he's fast but he can't maintain that speed on a long run. That said, I will look at this sort of situation when I am working on the new engine.

Maybe the tackler had the right angle...

I saw a kicker crush a returner last week. Cant remember which game it was but he had the angle on the sideline and hammered the guy.
