Keep playing and don't get paralysis by analysis with adjusting sliders for stats. Trust me the numbers will average out and some years you will be a beast with picks and some not. I finished with 12 in year one with the Dolphins. My passing defense was dead last (as it should have been with that secondary). I had one of the best pass rushes though (as I should have with Wake and Quinn).
Year 2 I expect improvement in my secondary but may take a slight step back in the pass rush after Wake retired.
I am going to type up a Year 2 preview.....also will start Year 2 later tonight (10 EST most likely) as we begin the Eric Dungey Era vs the Browns in Year 2 week 1.
Very excited to get year 2 going.
