Tackle Numbers

i'm terrible with the LB's so i control the DE or DT's i recently upped my playtime to 10 min 15 runoff and still the highest i get is like 4 or 5.

Your not going to get a ton of tackles with your ends or tackles though. Your linebackers and safetys are going to usually be the leaders. If you think about a defensive end that gets 4 tackles a game for an entire season that comes up to 64 tackles. That's pretty good for a defensive end. If you have a defensive tackle that gets 70-80 tackles that's pretty decent.

There's a glitch where in played games they don't add together the assisted and solo tackles... sim games work fine in franchise but when you play the game it gets messed up.

I'm waiting on a patch to address this because of the impact not having tackles could have on progression or awards for defensive players in franchise.

I found the problem, EA included both solo tackles and assisted tackles which is OK because thats what happens in real life but what they forgot to add was a column called Total Tackles where is would add the totals.

For example if Jon Beason had 4 solo tackles in a game but 8 assisted he would have a total of 12 tackles which makes muchhh more sense, a mistake on EAs part but hopefully they can fix that
