Hey Armor & Sword! Great sliders man. Tried them out by setting up a 32 team CFM yesterday on my day off and they were amazing. I'm going to do a 'play all' franchise where I play every game. Not trying to necessarily complete a season quickly, just trying to have fun and play w/ different teams and in different situations.
So far I did the first 3 games in week 1 switching each game from the home team to the away team to the home team etc.
Played as the Pats against the Steelers and won 31-17, with stats matching very closely to the game they played IRL.

Played as the Packers on the road in Chicago and won 38-28, again very realistic game with Aaron Rodgers playing very well.

Noticed that neither Le'Veon Bell or Matt Forte could get anything going at all, so I upped the CPU run block to 60 just to see, and lo and behold in my 3rd and final game, played as the Texans at home against the Chiefs and lost 24-21 on a late FG. Jamaal Charles broke a long 60 yard run and finished with 120 yards on the ground. Noticeable difference playing with Mallett (and Hoyer when Mallett got hurt) versus Brady and Rodgers like I did in the first 2 games.

^^Both Smith and Mallett got hurt, Smith returned to game, Mallett didn't...just didn't put Chase Daniel or Brian Hoyer stats into the box.
So realistic, so much fun...glad I took the time to do the auto subs for every team just to remove the placebo, and can't wait to have my own season!
