z This is all really helpful thank you. I find it easy to get good Offensive Linemen in the first three rounds of the draft. Should I be prioritising pass protection attributes if it is about air-offenses, what is the best coaching style for that?
Using that approach in FOF8, I could usually count on winning a championship within ten seasons... and I think it was basically solving the quarterback puzzle that eventually leads to a title. For my initial FOF9 universe, the QB that won my first two titles is overall a 52 rating and I took him with the 10th overall pick in the draft. He was the 2nd QB on my draft board. I drafted him in the third season and won the titles in seasons five and six.[/quote]

(FOF8 didn't have "good decisions", but seems like it would make sense to have that high...)
- Prioritize receivers and offensive lines on offense. De-prioritize running backs (go with cheap free agents and late-round picks).
- On defense, I generally prioritize the line, but for me, that's not as important as getting the right guys on offense.
The engine seems to be tuned to high-powered air offenses. Much like the real-world NFL.\
