Thank you, Sir!
Your description of the set (AP with AM playcalling and AI) was / is EXACTLY what I was shooting for...
"Better late than never" to finally get a solid idea of what (why and where) the variance in experience is tied to...
This explains why the warping that a few guys who liked the set saw something I did not...
Lastly:
The difference between AP / AM / AM and AM / AM / AM with this set is dramatic...as you have confirmed...
The former plays and looks good...the later does...not!
Continued thanks for the observations and input!
