I don't care about balance that way. Calvin Johnson and Adrian Peterson weren't "balanced" in the NFL. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

That's fair. To me, that's what Josh was talking about with the long-term diversity....if every player can potentially have an ability, signing/resigning one that already has it (or trading for, or whatever) becomes less important. I guess I was thinking more in terms of balance between users than balance among players...and you're right, that's not desirable.

At any rate, thanks for indulging me.

A nice add that wasn't in the notes. Points no longer appear next to FA bids. I really like this addition. In real life we often know who is winning negotiations, but we don't know the numbers. Look at what AB did to get a deal in Tampa when everyone was sure he was signing with Seattle.

Love that addition. You might really overpay for someone which happens in free agency all the time.

I was wondering this too. I can't find this in any settings in Franchise Mode so I wonder if it wasn't added. I could just be missing it also. Hard to tell. I really want to use this since I wondered if I used coach suggestions it would start forcing more varied plays to be called.

I played a game and a half with the new patch and had played 5 or 6 with the old. The CPU QB's are def completing way more of their passes and have way less inaccurate throws. This seems to be carrying over from the last patch. Didn't notice much difference beyond that but it was a small sample.

I feel like I am getting slideritis.


My pass rush is also way less than it was since 1.13. I think less sacks are good but it seems the way they have done it was to jack up the CPU O-Line rather than having the ball get out of the QB's hand quicker. I feel like lowering the throw out of sack chance in one of the patches led to higher sack totals which has led to them making the O-line almost impenetrable. And The few times I get through the QB gets it out before I get close. I feel like in the past they were getting pressure and you'd get the throw out of sack. I hardly see it all anymore. Some games not once for the CPU. That is why I liked the OOB QB play and passing game so much more. Unless I lower the CPU Acc much lower and then you get more of the dreaded lack of shots downfield.

Get ready for "The 5 headed avalanche steelers" lmao cant wait to see a defense with 4 avalanches in a Online CFM.. trade draft picks for some X-factor guy and give him avalanche and win every game because you force 8 fumbles a game (face palm)
