Yeah rushing TDs look a bit low once again.

No, that was never confirmed. Player equipment and the like was, not ratings.

Yes, they are. unfortunately, there's a problem with the sim engine in that it tends to short change runningbacks near the goalline. Josh spent extensive time trying to get this fixed, but it's an inherent limitation in the stat gen that he hopes to rebuild next year based on SuperSim.

I'm going to play around with the SuperSim when I get the game and see if I can squeeze more realistic rushing TD numbers out of it.

Thanks for the confirmation on NOT being able to edit rookie ratings Mid-Franchise Steve. Can you try editing a player's equipment to see if you lose his draft history after he is edited?

For real? I thought I read that if we weren't happy with progression we could just manually edit player ratings in franchise

Thought it was confirmed ages ago.

In a lot of cases, people hear things the way they want to hear it and repeat what they want to interpret. This was a prime case... I've seen what you saw many times, but it never came from EA.

There are people out there still insisting you can build your own draft classes from scratch too, because they heard "hand made" or "custom" draft classes (meaning developer designed rather than randomly generated), and I've actually had arguments about it in which the person INSISTS Josh Looman said to them PERSONALLY at E3 or something that they can build their own draft class.

Great read... the stats look good minus the rushing TD's.

One question though about relocating the teams. If i decide i wanna move my team to a new city do I HAVE to change the uniforms and symbol? Is it mandatory to do so again this year?

And if so, can i just build my team a new stadium in the same city?

everything i hear about this game is making it sound really good.

Ok, these stats were from a simmed season and the rushing TD totals are really low. Now, I have a question. Steve, how does your rushing TD's look in comparison to the those of league in your franchise?

I'm curious if the sim engine will keep everything "balanced".
