I ignore averages completely (except with quarter length and accelerated clock to get 120-225 plays per game in.

For everything else, it's completely subjective. I look at how easy/challenging it is at various slider settings and look for patterns. If I see a string of at least 5 games with one area too easy/challenging, I make an adjustment. To me, it's all about fun.

That's not to say I don't take into account realism. If again, I'm seeing a pattern of too many or too few yards, touchdowns, first downs, etc, I will make a change.

As much as I want the stats to be sim, at the end of the day, I'm more concerned with creating an adequate challenge. I trust my instincts to let me know when something just feels off.
