How are we feeling about simulation stats so far? I’ve done a few preliminary tests to get a gauge of where it’s at and here are some of my findings
-QBs barely miss games with base roster (might lower injury ratings for players to see if that makes any difference in franchise)
-QB rushing yards is fine overall (200-400 for most QBs) and still playbook based for higher totals (600-800 yards with 100+ attempts)
**Bears playbook is unchanged, so you should probably switch it to something else (maybe Seattle?) if you don’t want Caleb to run 150+ times**
-Passing yards is a touch too low when accounting for everyone playing 17 games. I was noticing around 3-6 4000 yard passers. The only consistent player who got over 4k was Mahomes, so I’m not sure how much it’s tied to ratings/playbook
-TDs seem fine to me. I was getting about 8-12 30+ TD seasons and about 20-25 20+ seasons which is a decent amount especially when accounting for me adding more injuries/benching players.
With QBs, my biggest issue is the efficiency. I think interceptions are a little better than last year, but there are still a few players with less than 5. Tua and Purdy feel like they consistently do this. I’m seeing more 10+ though which is good. Accuracy is still high. Too many QBs with a 100+ passer rating.
-Running backs seem fine to me. Wish there were less 1000 yard seasons. I’m getting about 12-17. Tds seem ok, but probably a bit high overall
-Still a lack of receiving production. Most RBs get less than 400 yards receiving. Honestly, I would feel better about this if there were at least one playbook that increased receiving production for backs
-Receivers seem ok. Number of 1k seasons seemed about right. The biggest issue with receivers is the lack of standout years. Top receiver usually floats around 1300-1500 yards with the rest under 1.2k. Tds seem good from what I saw
-Sacks seem good. Did 4 year one simulations and no one broke the record. In fact, I believe only a few times someone got over 20 sacks
-Tackles are a bit low. Around 130-150 for top tackler
-Interceptions are good. Usually seeing 5-7 ints for top ball hawk with one season a player getting 10 which was cool.
-Kicking stats are decent now?? I’m seeing a few kickers with over 30 attempts and most teams have over 20 attempts. I could be wrong, but this feels way more than in years past. I deleted M24, so I can’t confirm it.
Didn’t look too much into other things like punting or return stats. I mostly stuck with what I care about.
My overall opinion is that they are fine overall. I think this is a solid base to work with. I will still need to do my weekly game inspections as I’ve done the past few years to monitor stats throughout the season and make adjustments if needed.
