I'll give that a shot, thanks. I'll run a few games tonight to test.

Great game tonight btw, Go Bills.

First game with the bump to CPU run game, overtime win, Bills @ Chiefs, 34-27 Bills.

J. Allen - 22/31, 70%, 310yds, 4 TD/1 INT, 5/35yds, 129.0 QBR
P. Mahomes - 29/40, 72%, 329yds, 1 TD, 105.1 QBR

D. Singletary - 19/75yds, 3.9ypc
J. Cook - 9/72yds, 8.0ypc
CEH - 13/56yds, 4.3ypc, 1 TD
J. McKinnon - 4/9yds, 2.2ypc, 1 TD

D. Knox - 5/76, 1 TD
S. Diggs - 5/66, 2 TD
Q. Morris - 2/44, 1 TD
J. McKinnon - 4/18, 1 TD
J. Smith-Schuster - 11/89
M. Hardman - 7/82

E. Oliver - 3 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack
V. Miller - 6 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 sack
C. Jones - 10 tackles, 4 TFL, 3 sacks
J. Reid - 10 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack
N. Bolton - 11 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 INT

T. Bass - 2/2 FG (38, 31), 4/4 XP
H. Butker - 2/3 FG (66%, made 58, 47, missed 61), 3/3 XP

Overall very, very happy with how the game turned out. I will admit with user tackling at 20, it's frustrating, the CPU will break any tackle attempt that isn't a conservative tackle, and even then it's iffy. But for me it's worth it to have a competitive, competent AI that can actually run the ball. Little weird that the AI didn't target Travis Kelce at all, but it can't be perfect.

Have any of these settings changed post patch?

Yes...

Fumbles for HUM/CPU set to 80.

If HUM run game too easy then:
HUM Run Blocking = 20
CPU Tackling =:80

If CPU run game too weak then:
HUM Tackling = 20
CPU Run Blocking = 80

These have also been added to the OP. No other post-patch changes to report.

Decided to play Detroit @ Washington, with me as Washington, for my next test game. Final 38-28, Washington. Game was close up to the late 4th. I decided to test these with intentional grounding turned OFF, it's something Matt10 does in his sliders to get the QB AI to be quicker/better at decisions, and to eliminate the AI dropping back a bunch of yards into sacks. It worked very well, didn't throw anything else off.

T. Heinicke - 17/25, 68%, 213yds, 2 TD, 120.9 QBR
J. Goff - 21/33, 63%, 372yds, 2 TD/1 INT, 109.6 QBR

B. Robinson Jr. - 21/89, 4.2ypc, 3 TD
J. McKissic - 10/64, 6.4ypc
D. Swift - 10/21, 2.1ypc, 1 TD

T. McLaurin - 3/37, 1 TD
J. Dotson - 3/46, 1 TD
L. Thomas - 5/79
C. Samuel - 4/56
D. Chark Jr. - 5/151, 1 TD
T. Hockenson - 5/56, 1 TD
A. St. Brown - 5/51

D. Mayo - 3 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack, 1 INT
M. Sweat - 4 tackles, 2 TFL
J. Allen - 6 tackles, 2 TFL
C. Holcomb - 7 tackles, 1 TFL
A. McNeill - 4 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 sack
A. Hutchinson - 6 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack
D. Elliott - 12 tackles
A. Anzalone - 11 tackles

J. Slye - 1/1 FG (32), 3/4 XP
A. Seibert - 2/2 FG (36, 30), 2/2 XP

If I had to find things that are a bit of an annoyance with this set up, it'd probably only be 2 things:

1. Screens don't really seem to work, I assume it's because of the speed parity and defensive reaction. I just avoid calling screens, it's not a big issue to me, but it'd be nice if they worked.
2. The HUM tackling at 20 is starting to hurt my soul. I love the boost to the AI run game (even though Detroit couldn't run worth a damn with it), but the broken tackles are killing me. It's so bad. Is there possibly a happy medium in this area, or is the only way to boost the AI run game to neuter my own tackling to this level?

Overall, still a fun game and I'm not too unhappy with the negatives, it's stuff I can definitely live with, I just wish there was a way to clean things up without possibly ruining the rest of the gameplay.

1. Try lowering the speed threshold to 85 or 90 to see if that helps the screen game.

2. I'd raise HUM tackling and lower CPU Run Blocking by increments of 5 until you find a sweet spot that suits your style of play and preference.

Neither of these should throw the set out of wack. And I apologize if I'm not responding quick enough. I'm working two gigs plus film school so my gaming/playtesting time has taken a hit on weekdays. On the weekends is when I can get on the sticks a bit more.

No need to apologize man, everyone has their own lives and none of us are entitled to your time or effort. You'll respond when you can and that's all any of us can ask of you.

I probably won't mess with the speed threshold, 95 feels way too good to change imo, I can live without screens. I will try increments of 5 for the tackling next time I boot up the game, and of course, give my stats and thoughts.

I definitely think you should try playing with intentional grounding off sometime too if you want to test something new out, it's kinda crap that it won't get called but the AI QBs play much smarter with it off in my experience.
