Preseason player rotations are MUCH improved! No more first string QBs or WRs playing DB or kickoff coverage, they don't sub out K or Ps anymore for regular players either. It's nice.
I'll check your second question soon
Simmed a few drives with supersim, here's how they went down..
Colts got possession with 6:54 on the clock, they punted to be with 5:24 left in the quarter
Bills ran their first play with 5:13 left on the clock, we punted after a 6 play drive with 4:15 left on the clock..
Doesn't look like it's improved very much.
It affects what type of signing bonus you can offer potential free agents.
I'm simming the first season now to answer the two questions about progression and position changes.. will report back with my findings
Edit: You also still can't sim a certain number of weeks at a time. Would save a lot of time.
