Basically you have to test what sliders you ant to use in CFM in a test CFM. Not really better or worse playing...
Still having a blast with the game. You just have to get your sliders by testing them in a cfm.
Luckily I did all my testing through CFM once I got the game.
Would have been nice to be able to use Play Now for testing but not a huge deal to me but just makes it a bit harder to test.
