Played my first game (Bears vs Jaguars in my CCM) with the Red sliders and won 24-13. I played with 9 minute quarters with acc clock to 20 seconds, but I think I might consider bumping up to 10 minutes so there are a few more passing and rushing attempts for both teams.
I REALLY liked what I saw out of these sliders. The CPU seemed much more competent passing the ball, but there were still a few bad passes (which was good since the QB was Chad Henne lol). Running the CPU still didn't do as well as I would like them to overall, but they fared much better than in the past. If they had more time and weren't trailing most of the game I think they would have had a more respectable rushing total, but I will test with a few more games before changing anything. Overall, I liked the way the game felt.

Only complaints would be the rushing yards for the CPU and that I had 6 sacks which felt like too many for the amount of passing attemtps, but more than half were coverage sacks so I will see if it continues with further testing.
Also, does anyone have a realistic set of auto-subs? I saw my defense getting tired a lot and I want them to sub realistically...would the OP's auto-subs from last year be fine?
