I always use the coaching suggestions or strategy(chess piece) plays, haven't used the community play calls. I still switch on occasion on deep passes but I don't alter the path to the ball.
Since I'm playing each game, and using the team that's rated better, I've still had some really tough games.
It's been a fun challenge trying to win w/ the teams that should win.
Also no worries of sim stats.
I may never get to yr2 b/c I'm playing every game on the league schedule but I don't really care to see a league full of fake rookies anyway.
This is my 1st time playing this way and it's been really refreshing having different commentary each game and different teams.
