I agree. This is my favorite aspect of OS.

I haven't really been around here too long, but I have realized this....There are some damn good tweakers.

I played a quick half to, and noticed a definite difference...only one engage eight.

I'm going to bed with hope, and eager to get back in to the "lab" tomorrow" and adjust everything and start a franchise and see how it all goes.

Anybody who wants to help out, you're welcome to, please use the following template.

Right now, I'm testing the middle with various playbooks... the first game of the regular season is a wonderful opportunity to see two defenses similar in talent but having vastly different philosophies; the Steelers, an aggressive 3-4, vs. the Titans, a conservative 4-3.

Cool stuff, I might give this NCAA draft class project a break for a little bit tonight and try this out.

I really think we should combine the efforts of all of these projects. sm27 (the author of the original Madden Manifesto) has proposed a new Manifesto. I was on that project, I plan on being on this one as well.

How do I go about getting on the Manifesto?

By doing a ton of testing and sharing the results, I assume.

This may be fun to some people, but others would like to be on season 3 or 4 by now, and not doing countless number of tests, to make the game playable. That said, if I actually owned the game, I'd help out.. But my copy is a rental, and I'll be taking it back tomorrow.

Good luck, Adem/guys.
