Played 2 games with these. So far the final scores are much more realistic, but it just doesn't "feel" right, exactly like you said.
Lots of offside penalties in my first game which felt weird but then you realize it's accurate at the end of the game.
2 issues i have noticed so far. In both games, all 4 starting QB's were injured at some point and had to leave the game. I like the idea of a higher injury slider but it only seems to be affecting QB's.
secondly, completion percentage is off the charts for both games I have played. Maybe i just suck at pass defense. Here is a partially completed box score from my latest game. Russell Wilson never scrambled once and took 5 sacks which was frustrating. I feel like he just sat in the pocket and never moved even when under pressure.

Both of my starting safeties are hurt, and Carr has only missed one snap through 8 weeks.
As for completion %, I've seen variety, but it's something I've continually closed the gap on each week.
The issue I'm seeing is that I'm a magnet for throwing INTs!
Wow, these are working great! My next game will be the first game in which I don't adjust anything. The Raiders finally got their first win against the winless Jets, 17-13.
If you watch the end of my game I played today, you'll see a post-week breakdown on my league/team stats through 8 weeks, as well as me talking through the slider adjustments, etc.
Please continue to share your experiences with these! Thank you!
