I will add onto the above when I finish the aggression and defensive sliders.

Wow I have used your coaching settings so far in my dynasty, and I thank you for your hard work and I really appreciate it.

Out of curiosity, what are your criteria for setting run/pass defensive settings? And what are your criteria for the aggression settings?

I am actually talking to a few of the guys from EA about the defensive setting and what exactly the aggression sliders do. I've done some testing, however I wanted to verify before I started making changes.

My feeling from playing ~70 games against the CPU is that D AGG we have to be very careful about in-game. A high D AGG leads to a ton of corner blitzes which increases the appearance of robo-qb (if you use ask corso for your team). If the CPU calls corner blitzes, they are so easy to diagnose that the user becomes the robo-qb.

I'm just pointing out that this should be an important criteria.

Great job on the run/pass sliders. If only there was a 'qb choice on 3rd and 6' slider.....are you thinking about this in any way as well? We could alleviate it some by using only a handful of playbooks for every team, but I worry that gameplay would get boring and repetitive. Although no 'qb choice' might make it better.

Thanks for working hard on this.

Oh and don't hold your breath....I asked for clarification on what the penalty sliders do, and never got even a peep. OMT said he asked, but the gameplay guys must not have thought it was important enough to explain. Hopefully you can get someone to tell you, because that would be awesome.

Is this the run/pass ratio or offensive aggressive ratio
