    simeng.txt = realistic blocks?

    Open your simeng.txt file and look at the top part there. You'll notice this -

    RATING_BLOCK{{10, 0.022f}, {15, 0.035f}, {20, 0.045f}, {25, 0.06f}, {30, 0.07f}, {35, 0.085f}, {40, 0.105f}, {45, 0.12f}, {50, 0.14f}, {60, 0.18f}, {70, 0.20f}, {80, 0.25f}, {90, 0.28f}, {95, 0.35f}, {99, 0.36f}}

    Any chance any of you might know what that line means? And while you're at it, take a look at all the other entries there too. Like -

    RATING_ASSIST{{10, 0.30f}, {15, 0.35f}, {20, 0.40f}, {25, 0.45f}, {30, 0.50f}, {35, 0.55f}, {40, 0.60f}, {45, 0.65f}, {50, 0.70f}, {55, 0.75f}, {60, 0.80f}, {70, 0.85f}, {80, 0.9f}, {99, 0.92f}}

    and -

    START_PCT_DOWN_BY_20{0.6f, 0.2f, 0.2f, 0.0f, 0.0f} //60% starter plays
    START_PCT_DOWN_BY_15{0.7f, 0.2f, 0.1f, 0.0f, 0.0f} //70% starter plays
    START_PCT_DOWN_BY_10{0.7f, 0.2f, 0.1f, 0.0f, 0.0f} //80% starter plays
    START_PCT_DOWN_BY_5 {0.8f, 0.2f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f} //90% starter plays
    START_PCT_SCORE_TIED{0.8f, 0.2f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f} //90% starter plays
    START_PCT_UP_BY_5 {0.8f, 0.2f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f} //90% starter plays
    START_PCT_UP_BY_10 {0.7f, 0.2f, 0.1f, 0.0f, 0.0f} //80% starter plays
    START_PCT_UP_BY_15 {0.7f, 0.2f, 0.1f, 0.0f, 0.0f} //80% starter plays
    START_PCT_UP_BY_20 {0.6f, 0.2f, 0.1f, 0.0f, 0.0f} //70% starter plays


    A friend of mine who mods (PC) games tells me that the block issue isn't hardcoded in the game. Perhaps there is hope for us PC users? He's too busy at the moment modding Rome: Total War but he said (promised, actually) he'll take a look at it again sometime this week.

    I'm gonna back-up that file and mess with it and see what happens. I'll first start with the percent of time the starters are on the floor. It says if somebody (user or cpu) is up by 5 then the starter plays 90% of the time. I'm gonna change that entry to 10% and see what happens.

    I saw that a long time ago, but have not been able to figure how to configure it, and what ea used to configure it... I was thinkin about lowering them all by .010 to see how that goes..

        Messing with that file is not going to help you. Notice the name of it....simeng...SimEngine. The game uses this file to determine simulated stats. I'm sure it has nothing to do with what the AI does in-game.
