Just lost a crushing game to Houston in my Tulane dynasty. Thanks a freakin lot adembroski. CRAP! Oh well, I use SN's sliders but I was still lighting up the score board with passing yards. I tried what I though was everything and then I saw your sliders for OL/DL engagements and decided to plug those in. PRESTO...a whole new game opens up as far as passing strategy and AI gameplay. I had literally 3-5 seconds to make a decision (which is standard in EVERY level of football QB, its called a mental clock) forces me to make reads and really be in tune with my WR's as to time doesnt allow for anything else especially when you have garbage talent that is TULANE! The only and I mean ONLY thing AJ i would say to do is for more skilled players to up the CPU pass block slider to either 35 or 40. I was still manhandling the CPU line and getting TOO much pressure with very mediocre talent and with it set to 40 I liked it a ton as to it provided realistic pressure. Some will like it at 35 but nothing below or over 40 IMO. Like I said the rest I use SN sliders as far as run game and pass coverage because that plays out VERY nicely but your OL/DL engagement slider is money brother. Also the Dynasty team sliders make ALL the difference in the world. I cant even say that enough. Season is really turning out nicely with stats and scores. Loving every minute of it. My only thing I would say as a house rule for all dynasty players in play with injuries on ONLY IN YOUR GAME THAT YOU PLAY and when simming turn them off. Some crazy injuries happen that ruin a season for me to all the best players which is insane. Broken femurs and really players missing a whole game sim wise on a weekly basis. Thanks again brother and I def look forward to getting back some confidence after that crushing defeat! Oh! and some stats real quick:
Tulane 28 Houston 33
Keenum
63% Pass completion
425 yards and 3 TD's
Carrier and cleveland 100+ yards
Beal had 25 yards on 15 carries
Defense had 3 INT's that were all my QB's stinkin fault. Stupid reject overthrew wide open dudes and was just crap in the clucth. Realistic though, never felt cheated.
Penelties killed me... Houston had great play calling when I changed these OL/DL sliders. Its like they play to their strengths more. I dont know but it was the first time the CPU really adjusted and made me work.

Thanks for the feedback!
I'm currently 4-3 in year 3 of my Notre Dame dynasty and feel like I've lost the games I should. I was blown out in one, had a close loss that could have gone either way, and the other loss was one of those where I felt like I was the better team but couldn't quite put the game away. One of the reasons I really like the direction I'm going.
CPU protection is certainly something I'm looking into. It feels pretty good where it is on my end, but it could be a product of my lack of skill. Certainly something that needs further tweaking.
In other news: I'm working on some stuff with SECElite right now, as our sliders are so close but we're going in different directions with the running game. Since we have similar ideas as to what is realistic and not and how the sliders work, we're going to work on creating different versions of basically the same thing; mine for normal speed, his for slow.
He has recently made a major adjustment to the CPU running game that I'm looking into. I'm not sure if I'll adopt the way he approached it, but I'm going to play with it a bit and see how it works out.
Also, look for some pretty significant changes to the USER running game soon as well. I need to create a better balance of line play and back play. As it stands, the HB is too good for the user.
