This is one of the issues I had with the ST sliders...it was good in some ways, but started taking away from the ratings.
On the set I posted:
Pros
- Gameplay engine is 'happy'...it's pretty much as balanced as possible, so seeing a ton of variety dependent on ratings.
- Definitely seeing less Robo QB and more inaccuracy by the CPU (mainly weaker QBs). Pass accuracy stats less based on coverage and more on QB ability.
- Run game is solid (dependent on ratings)
Cons
- The pass rush won't be as consistently good as it was on the older setup (I sorta consider that a 'pro' as well). However, it will still be there as matchups dictate.
- Coverage won't always look as tight...but it is still effective....again, as matchups dictate.
- Will it be as tough? Not sure yet....
In case you haven't noticed, the MO is really balancing things as much as possible. This year is more about keeping things close to default.
One other thing....I've been playing with these on both 15 min/20 sec acc clock and on 9 min/no acc clock. Either setting works well...I am testing both to see which might be better from a rotation/fatigue standpoint.
That sucks....there are numerous changes here (including the MM set to AM). Just double-check everything....
