The patriots don't run the ball

Denver was 55/45 also. I don't know why they keep getting this wrong every year the data is very public instead of using guesses or outdated bias on how teams call plays... I'm guessing the Packers will need a new playbook too i'm sure they pass way too much ingame. All three teams were 55/45 last year. http://www.fftoday.com/articles/smit...ss_ratios.html

Yup, 32 team control and the ability to alter the CPU HC run / pass splits is the way I'd go...

Thanks for the link, BU...

Gonna be VERY helpful w that!

How do you adjust the HC run/pass split? I don't think you can in CFM. All you can do is change their playbook which has a different gameplan associated to it and different amounts of passing or running plays per each situation. Is there another way?

This is useful too but is from last season, team schemes for offense and defense:

I'm going to have to dig in this tomorrow, but:

EVERY year previously (except M13, which didn't have 32 team control), you go to any teams main screen / coach philosophy / run / pass slider / adjust to your liking...

Once again, you have to have 32 team control to get into those screens...

IF they suddenly took that out, I'm going to be VERY disappointed...

Thanks for that second link, BTW!

Would you have to use 32 team control though?
If one wanted to,couldn't it be done outside of Franchise,and then when you start you franchise the changes will be there?

This is of course if somebody didn't want to do 32 team control.

There is no option to change a teams run/pass split. The only option I can see is to change their playbook to another teams playbook to get them the correct run/pass split. Denver, Pats, and Green Bay are teams I want to look at to give them a 55/45 split that they should have. It would be perfect if we could assign CPU teams custom playbooks but you cant, only other teams default playbooks. But we have 31 to pick from i'm sure there are some that would matchup well.

Well. this STINKS!

It's the best part of 32 team control...also helps with the sim engine...

I'm spending all day tomorrow with this thing, but I'm pretty skeptical so far with what's been removed...

@BU: Are you also looking at the generics for possible playbook swaps?

Last year you couldn't get the patriots to run the ball, I love the default playcalling this year by the CPU. Always good to have a team play to their strengths
