Plugged these sliders into my Rams CFM mid-season. First game up was the MFN matchup against the Chiefs. I have to say, I was very happy with the results. I managed to get a pretty solid lead early on, which allowed me to survive a 4 turnover performance. I had some errant throws while under pressure and on the run, which I liked. I saw a lot of broken tackles on both sides of the ball, which I love. I feel like on default all-pro all CPU tackles are sure things. Kelce on the Chiefs had a huge TD catch late where he broke out of a gang tackles and steamrolled into the endzone, the physics of it felt spot-on.
Cooks and Woods felt like weapons with this speed threshold, they are homerun hitters, and they felt like it, but not too overpowered. I have to say, I really like the feel of these sliders.
I only saw one injury (Chiefs player), and only had one penalty called the entire game. I may bump injuries up to 20. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with penalties. I do enjoy the unpredictable variable they add to a game, but I agree that adjusting penalty sliders will negatively effect the current sliders, which is a shame. I may toy around with it anyway just to see what happens.

Overall, a very fun game. I wish there was a way to get penalties to be more frequent without messing up how the game plays. It's really a shame. Mahomes was off the mark early, going something like 3-11 before he started heating up.
I had some sloppy throws with Goff, which I like. The two interceptions I threw were off target passes on open receivers. Natson and Cooks both fumbled on big hits.
Leaned heavily on Gurley in the 4th to survive the four turnovers which let the Chiefs back in it.
I'm gonna stick with this set, really enjoyed it.
