I dont even know what L1 does lol

Nor do I, so not sure what he's getting at there. I'm a hold L2 guy for strafe.

Defensive assist. It basically causes the defenders to swarm to the ball. It is very imbalancing on defense.

Side note bucknut: I played a bit vs the Browns defense last night....they are crazy good....I’m not shocked now at what you’re seeing.

I feel All Pro default CPU is at such an advantage unless we find the right slider mix. Keep working because would have normally given up on the game, so testing pro default shows I want to make it work.

I used to make my sliders for this game on pro for this very reason..... But it just became too hard to get proper balance and challenge

Josh is onto something at AP keeping things at default. The issue is EA needs to tighten up zones or no matter what you do your in trouble

Only issue with pro is CPU losses Aggression at times, but other than that it feels good. This is my test CFM, so I may go back to AP after my current game to test the difference I see

That’s not what it does at all actually. It literally just controls your player that you’re usering and makes the CPU control him. Nothing more.

Guys....I CANNOT stress this enough - ratings REALLY matter. Let me say that again. Ratings REALLY matter! I've played as and vs a number of teams - you can really see/feel the difference and this is BY FAR the most important thing to me personally. I'm diving into my 'real' franchise tonight and am beginning my 3-4 season run before making any further changes to the set (of course, barring some major issues). 10 other random thoughts: 1. God this game is fun!!!! 2. All Pro feels really good to me - I'm disinclined to move up to AM....I just don't think it's needed. 3. Right now, I prefer the gameplay with RTP at 51. I can't quite put my finger on it just yet, but it just feels better to me. There WILL be weird RTP calls with the slider at 51 (e.g. QB gets barely grazed) but I want to give it more time. 4. I have not seen an issue with too many facemask calls. A lot of it will depend on how well you square-up your tackles (strafe is your friend this year). 5. Fumbles are NOT an issue - people need to stop whining! You have to be smart when running. If you have a defender with the enforcer trait bearing-down on you, DO NOT try to make moves - cover up the ball or get out of bounds. Use the conservative ball carrying coach adjustment in key situations. Be extra careful in rainy games. I've not seen CPU fumbles as an issue either. There will be variety here based on matchups and weather conditions. 6. Coverage does have some wonky issues and I am NOT going to spend weeks trying to 'fix' them with sliders only to have a patch fix it and leave us spending weeks reverting back. This setup does mitigate a lot of those issues - it's way better than pure default. 7. X-factors have a chance to put up some pretty crazy stats from time-to-time. You know what? I really don't care about stats (I never really have). I WANT great players to stand out and take over games. I want to have to THINK about how I am approaching things and make adjustments. If you're blessed to have a couple of Superstars on your team, enjoy them! 8. The CPU WILL adjust to what is working/not working for them on both sides of the ball. You have to adjust as well...there IS a cat-and-mouse game here. 9. Pay attention to individual ratings....do not build your depth chart based solely on who has the highest overall. Look at matchups closely because the CPU can and will burn you. Oh, and for those of you who do "no switch" or whatever, stop it. Give yourself a chance to screw up....the CPU CAN juke you and 'usering' is much more realistic than before. 10. Remember, Year 1 of a franchise always plays worse than any other season. So, this is 'rock-bottom'....remember that. Play through it!

Just wanted to say, this is one of the best posts I have ever read on OS lol...but all jokes aside, good stuff bro!
