Check out my new thread for the sliders and explanations of what I'm seeing and ideas for personal tweakage.
To answer your question quickly, I see penalties, but I feel I see real penalties. I believe I see better Dline play, and I see more interesting, realistic WR/DB interactions. My latest concoction (and I believe my last) I feel give the game as much realism as I can squeeze out of it allowing for some penalties to influence the game. Tweaking the penalty sliders also opened up a few more animations it seems, so the game feels more real to me. I still win most games, but I feel like the cpu is in it most of the time, and often they lead in the first half. I'm definitely seeing more 3 and outs, especially if you lower the holding a little and tweak the Def PI just right.

You mentioned in your new thread that you would like to see more fumbles.

The fumble setting on this set having given me several organic fumbles on runs, catches, QB drop backs, and kickoffs. Its not often, but just right. When I fumble or cause a fumble it has never felt fake or unreal.

yeah, no doubt. I really liked how fumbles played out with this set and my other set with Fumbles at 25 for both player and cpu, but for some reason, I'm not seeing as many lately with the new penalty slider set and I thought maybe that had something to do with it. that is, changing the penalty sliders has caused some 'different' A.I. logic to be processed during every hit, and for some reason, fumbles don't happen. I am seeing some with my new slider set, but I can go several games without seeing one, and I guess I would actually like to see at least 1 per game. It can be recovered by same team, I'm not looking for more turnovers necessarily, but I think you usually see at least 1 fumble in every game. Makes the game more interesting when you run a 20-30 yard run thinking, 'what a big gain,' then WHAM! Fumble!! and, now you're screwed. lol. Maybe, I need to put it back at 25, maybe that's a 'magic' number. idk.

Not sure, but I don't plan to adjust this set in year 3 of my CFM. For my 4th year of CFM I may use your new ratings slider, not sure yet. To give each year of CFM a fresh flavor, I rotate through more popular sliders each year of my CFM.
