Armor & Sword's All Pro Custom Simulation (15 Min Quarters) Style Sliders

[Armor and Sword]

A small update on my 32 team A Dolphins Tale CFM.

We lost a hard fought battle in Super Bowl 51 to the Vikings. We had 20-17 lead heading into the 4th quarter. But it slipped away after a Tannehill interception in the red zone. The Vikings never looked back and pulled away for a 31-20 final.

Something I did in the offseason of year 2.

A lot of coaches were fired. So I went ahead and retired all those fired coaches, and replaced them with existing owners. 31 teams are set to auto pilot.

Those owners then rehired many of the modern day coaches I retired. I now will say running a 32 team owner mode is the way to go. Just set the other 31 teams to auto pilot and they will run themselves in regards to staff hirings etc. I still have coaches for many teams. But as they (if) get fired they will be replaced with owners. Also you must add at least 25-40MM (depending on market size you make the call) in funds as they start with 0 and will have no chance at free agents and resigning current players in stage 1-4 of the off-season.

You can always step in and make any changes you want. You can relocate teams if you want etc etc etc. Also as a house rule I do the following every off-season:

I reset confidence to 50 for all teams for players who fell below 50 (new season new start).

I add 15 million in funds to every team as part of the NFL revenue sharing agreement.

I did not see any draft day trades with every team except mine set to auto pilot. IF anyone can confirm draft day trades with the other 31 teams set to auto pilot please let me know.

Anyway the Dolphins had a brilliant draft and great off-season. You can see the off-season/draft on my Twitch channel.

On to Year 3!!!

With auto-pilot on for the other 31 teams, am I still able to edit depth charts without said team editing it back to the way they want it?

Yes. Your depth chart adjustments will stick with auto pilot on.

What about preseason cuts? At least year one...

[Tacticus]

having an issue with the sliders.

They are a little too easy lol.

I'm not going back to an All-Madden slider set, way to much AI BS and slider issues. Seems more realistic with All-Pro, but too easy.

Any way to fix that?

Armor I was wondering do you play the preseason also if you don't play the preseason do you turn injuries off and aim to the regular season

I play the first and third game of pre-season with injuries on and turn them off for the simulation of pre-season week 2 and 4.

I only make cuts for my main team. I do however review the CPU cuts and if something truly makes zero sense I fix it. For the most part the CPU cuts have been fine.

Your 32 team setup has inspired me to finally take full control of a franchise. Controlling everything for every team but only playing games for my team.

It's a lot of work controlling every aspect, but to be honest, I enjoy it. Thanks for the 32 team info Armor.
