Hi, everyone, and thanks for checking this slider set out!

Like last year, the goal of this set is to use data collection and analysis to work toward finding a slider set that matches the output of simulated CFM games (and hopefully real life).

I've done beta testing for OOTP baseball since 2008, as well as testing for Grey Dog Software. I've done similar slider sets for other games here at OS, and I also do a lot of QA testing in my career.

The reason I share that brief bio is to explain my approach in being thorough in my settings and adjustments to provide a realistic and challenging set, even if that means I go 5-11 sometimes (my baseball sliders had my team within 2 games of their real life counterpart last year).

I'm not a believer in locking in a slider set and never readjusting. Instead, I look for ways to have the game fluctuate along with my gradual improvements, which are inevitable.

I'm not aiming for every game to be some sort of perfect script, and I love seeing results others get from this set as well.

When are you able to customize the XP sliders? Before you start your first season? Just asking because I'm in my 10th on 16 and I'm not able to change the XP sliders

Starting up a test CFM now with my Titans. Using these settings 100% as posted. Will post feedback after the game...

Notes:
- Too many facemask penalties.
- Good number of false starts, but don't think excessive.
- 2 of my 6 sacks were due to QB holding ball too long.
- Demarco Murray disappeared halfway through 3rd quarter, so RB auto subs may need some adjusting.

Other than those few things, pretty solid game overall.

Had a nice 71 yd TD run with Murray. Other than that pretty bland day on the ground.

Was not able to hit a true deep ball throw...which I'm ok with.

Admittedly, we need to play w the RB auto sub setting as it actually seems to be working better this year. I'd try 75/70 next.

As for the penalties, see how it looks in your second game--sometimes the type of penalty needs to take a backseat to the number of them being called.
