Sorry it took so long to post back. I just simulated a year with these coaching strategies (for Big Ten teams only). The stats looked pretty much the same in the Big Ten. Waaaaay too many TD passes, insane completion % (no one was under 61%), not enough sacks, tackles, or INTs. The TD to INT ratio is the most concerning stat. Michigan's backup QB (Henne got hurt) had a 22 to 0 ratio!! And he wasn't even 2nd team All-Big Ten. I'll try another season with changing the defenses to 3-3-5.
I'm a stickler for realism, and this is making it kinda hard to enjoy the game. I'm sure I can get the sliders to play correctly while I'm playing the game, but if the sim stats make it impossible for my QBs to compete for the post season honors, it kinda takes away from the enjoyment of the game. I've simulated season's with sm27's fix and it helps, but the TD/INT ratios are still I guess it's something I'll have to live with unless we can come up with a solution.
