Offensive Style Threshold

[RedKingGold]

Here is what I could find in the Help File on this:

Generate Plays - Takes the number of plays in the Plays to Generate field and adds them to the playbook. You can not have more than 200 plays in your playbook. The AI adds these plays keeping the Offensive Style Threshold. This threshold is a bonus (the default value is 15) given to plays that better fit your offensive coordinator's style of play.

In fiddling with this, it looks like a "lower" number would auto-generate more plays closer to your offensive coordinator's style, so a "1" setting will generate more than "15". Going to 99 would create a varied playbook. It cannot be set higher than 99.

Anyone else agree?

I actually thought I was seeing the opposite where 99 was closer to coach's style.

Nope. If you set it to "0", ALL of the plays generated will match your offensive coordinator's style.

This worked with Smashmouth style. I just tried it with Erdhardt-Perkins and it did not create a bunch of EP plays, but that might be because it is a harder style to generate matching plays with.

hhmm...not necessarily seeing that when I do that...still variety when I input 0.

although maybe thinking about it wrong and looking at wrong fields....the plays generated are certainly either a best fit or a solid for my style.
