I think your right. This is just what im seeing on my end and you have way more experience on this. It just feels like im not being overpowered on #3 for some reason. Probably my style of play plays a factor as well. I can say i do see more injuries and penalties with #3 not sure why though. I bought the game in August i still havent finished a season. Every year up to now im ready and rolling by Week 3 at the latest. Worst slideritis ive ever had man lol
