Broken Defensive Sim Stats for 3-4 Teams
Whether or not teams use a 3-4 defensive scheme or playbook, the sim stats are based on a 4-3 team and not based on their use of that playbook/scheme. Sam linebackers get plenty of snaps but the third DT doesn't get any. Only the top 2 DT's get any snaps. At least some of the snaps should go to the third DT/NT when a team is in their base formation. Likewise, the Sam linebacker should not be getting any snaps on a 3-4 team as that position is not utilized in that scheme. Because computer teams are all operating as 4-3 teams, this has led to there being an overabundance of DT's and a lack of linebackers in free agency as computer-controlled 3-4 teams will only carry 3 or 4 DT's but still carry 6 off-ball linebackers.
