I'm right there with ya, in my HOF thread I mentioned about checking sliders everytime you begin a game cause its wacked out and never saves correctly. I usually see the Help Defense Slider flip and by that I mean if I put it on 60 then start a game, go in and look at the sliders during the game its at 40, if I do 70 it flips to 30.
I haven't seen the first 5 tendencies, as they stay for me.
