Going to try to do 15-20 seasons this year.

Yes!!!!! Play the Moment is so fun because you get that bit of gameplay we all need but since you aren't playing whole games some of the dumbness doesn't show as much if at all. And you can get through multiple seasons in a much shorter time. You get to actually build a team is your players you draft. Plus it isn't all about stick skills because there is a lot of simming happening so you need to have good players.

I'm in year one of a CFM with my cousin as the Jets (god they are awful lol) and am sitting at 2-7. Sucks but is so legit I can't complain at all. And those wins are so satisfying.

TDawg what sliders and settings are you using for when you do Play the Moment games? Just curious. PM me if you want so we don't clutter the thread. Up to you.

I'm using JoshC's right now with the QB edits (Throw Away set to "Off", Force Passes if "Balanced" set to "Conservative", and High Motor set to "On"). That's it. Having a blast so far. Aside from getting my *** handed to me quite a bit.

Edit: Sorry OMN. I'll PM anything else. Don't want to clutter your thread.

Awesome. I need to figure out how to make it so during Play the Moment, the CPU doesn't run so much. One time they ran like 38 times in the game by one RB. I need to figure this out.

With the exception of the automatic 4 yard rush, I agree with you.

But back on topic, PTM really is an excellent option if you want a great balance of play and Franchise Management. Often, I'm trying my best to just fly through the games so I can get back to the rest of the week's worth of tasks.

But @OMN, I have a comment/question. Sorry if this has been asked before but...

Is there a way to revert to the full text entry of the scouted skills? It's not that I can't memorize the 3 letter abbreviated code for each skill, but the full text entry was something I got used to last year, and to me, it's more intuitive.

Yea the automatic 4 yard rush is insane.

You would need to rename the skills in the column headers on the score calculator tab.
