Offline Franchise Stats Tuning Update

[michapop9]

Good work Josh Looman! The open communication and update is much needed and very welcome.

So understanding now that the sime engine is touchy and youve tweaked the passing TD'S, does that still mean that 10 qb's will have over 30 td passes and everyone else have over 20 (basically thats what I simmed the 2nd year of my franchise). The leaders numbers maybe accurate but how about everyone elses? Thanks.

Will we have to start our franchise over for these changes to come into affect?

The "tackles" news is good news

Now anything on adjusting the ai D play calling, so they don't all play like the '85 Bears? I know AdemB and others have made great strides, by controlling all 32 teams in Franchise mode, and adjusting D playcalling type. But this is an elaborate and convoluted way, of achieving what the cpu D should only really do in the first place!

The main gripe about it, is the ai constantly brings huge blitzes, and leaves the TE/ Slot receiver uncovered. It isn't the way many (do any in fact?) teams play, and a) makes the game far easier than it should be, and b) takes away any feel of playing against a certain defence type...

That would mean that he would have 9 tackles in his player page, too. I hope that I understood that right (would be good, because in my radiers franchise right now, morrison only has 71 tackles listed in his player page, althouhg with assistants, he actually has 110). To simmed stats: Will there be olbs that can actually reach 100 tackles? Again the same: Will the number in the "tackles" column represent the total tackles (that would be good)? Then you only would have to have to bring down mlb solo tackles and we are ready to go! Rest of the stats look really promising! Rsh Td can stay in the 18-20 area for league leaders imo, because we sometimes have guys who actually get 20+, so that is a good number imo. Hope post is not too long and at least somewhat understandable

You will have close to realistic simulated tackles if all goes well.

Since the screen is not getting re-done, keep in mind that the total tackles stat outside of game is actually solo tackles.

I've seen a few OLBs get 100 tackles after some of the tuning. Like I said before, I'll keep working to make sure they are all as close as possible, but this is the hardest stat to tune by far (tackles and sacks). I'll do what I can within the timeframe I have.

All I'm personally tuning are offline franchise stats. Ian put up a FAQ regarding a lot of other questions.

I don't know for sure yet. As soon as I get confirmation, I'll let you guys know.
