We are waiting until next week to start our league, so hard data will be a bit delayed. However, I've gotten some good time in now vs CPU, in practice mode, CFM, and vs a couple users in CFM games.
I'm resisting posting this in the OP until we get a few weeks into S1, but here's something
very close to what we will be starting with.
Notes on the below sliders:
- Coverage is pretty good on these sliders. Man is viable but not OP.
- Scoring in the games I've played has been high, but HUGE chunks of scoring are a result of mega-OP juke/spin moves. Take those out and I feel this will be very close. As a result I've upped Tackle to 55 to help, but likely the upcoming tuner update will change this, and Tackle will come back down.
- Related to the above, YPC has been good but that's almost entirely on the back of RBs juking/spinning their way to massive breakaway runs inflating YPC in an otherwise tough run game. It's too boom/bust at the moment. 60 RBK is probably too high but we'll see how it goes if jukes/spins come down to earth.
- Pass blocking at 70 felt too strong, at default it's too low. 65 to start.
- Penalties based on last year's #s where I benchmarked vs NFL penalty rates. Will tweak at some point but this should be a good starting point, not noticing anything too crazy so far.
- XP sliders based on tdawg's raw 10-year sim data, tuned down to account for 32 humans all running Gold training instead of 31 CPUs running Bronze. Feel these will leave talent distribution in a good place for teams who don't want loads of 90+ starters at every position.
AS ALWAYS, UNTIL DATA STARTS ROLLING IN, THIS IS PROBABLY STILL A BIT FLAWED!
