I may eventually start again with a custom roster. It might be a couple of game years, however, because I'm just not a techie. A very similar game to the Lions one. Cutler was able to move the ball, but not able to turn that into points.

I tried playing the Vikings game one last time last night-and I ended up beating them 97-3. That's just not fun, so i'll be bringing this dynasty to a end.
The one thing I have figured out is that all the coach skills make the game easier-Performance, special skills, player development. I had thought focusing on player development might make the games harder, but that's not the case.
So I think a good rule of thumb might be to fire your coaches when they reach the 99 level is to fire them. If you keep them, the games just get too easy. I don't think there's anything wrong with having 1 or 2 good coaches, but a team full of them makes the game too easy. I appreciate everyone following this, and i'll try the 99 house rule in any future dynasty I might do.
