Two games are very far from being representative, but with that caveat it seems things may be headed in the right direction with the latest changes.

Total off. plays: NE 67, MIA 67

How Miami broke on top so quickly: a kickoff return to the NE 34, a 6 yard run by Daniel Thomas (Moreno was hurt in preseason), Tannehil incomplete 2x, field goal.

As it should have been, Brady was pin-point when he had plenty of time and most of his incomplete passes came when he was hurried or flushed. His interception came on an overthrown deep ball intended for Amedola, with Delmas having plenty of time to make the play.

The Pats got flagged for holding while Brady was trying to buy time.

In their first series, the Pats did not try what would have been a 50 yard field goal, but the punt was pooched and downed at the 2.

It rained in the first quarter, then cleared up for the rest of the game.

Off. Plays: WAS 57, HOU 63

Seeing Arian Foster pull some stutter-step and stop-n-go moves was sweet.

Andre Johnson got flagged for OPI.

There was a play where a RGIII scramble failed to convert a 3rd down but he fumbled and Royster picked up the ball and moved the sticks.

Both QB’s were streaky. Fitz started out 8/8 but he might have gotten a boost from AJ breaking a tackle and going to the house. He was 7 of his next 13 then got hot again. RGIII started out 6/8 but was 3 for his next 8 (9/16). In Washington’s last drive he completed 5 straight in hurry-up before getting picked in the end zone.

All 3 of Crick's sacks came with RGIII out of the pocket- twice on scrambles, once when he was flushed and still trying to find a receiver.

Alfred Morris rushed for less than 3 yards per carry only twice last season. So while it has happened IRL, it’s rare. With injuries contributing , it was a pretty bad line he was running behind though. Initial impression is that I went too far in taming the CPU rushing game but the sample size is still far too small to say for sure.

Although I red-flagged Fitzpatrick’s performance, I don’t feel as bad about it after seeing that in a three game stretch last season he did not have a rating of lower than 109.2. He also had three games with a rating below 60. That’s his M.O.- he runs hot and cold, and even if it’s cold more often than hot, for now I’ll just chalk it up to him having one of his better days.

Are these testings being done in play now and if so, may I ask why? Slider sets do not transfer over the same way in play now vs ccm. So basically, all of this gathering of information could be misconstrued once it transfers over. Have ya'll thought about doing 32 team user control and posting results from those findings because then we would have accurate results. I think very few people buy this game for play now purposes.

I'm in 32 team CFM and still in Week 1 with test games.

While Flacco getting sacked 9 times and the Ravens dropping 7 passes are alarming in a single-game context, over the course of 5 games both are aberrations, not patterns. Flacco simply was not getting time to throw. If a pattern does develop, it would indicate a need to increase CPU PBK and WRC. IF WRC influences receivers getting open an not just making the catch, that should be the first thing changed.

With Rice getting 3.1 ypc I’m going to go out on a limb and say the CPU running game settings need to go back toward where they were. For the next few games I’ll split the difference form the last change and set HUM TAK to 55 and CPU RBK to 45.

Nugent’s missed FGA’s were from 50 and 52 yards out. Tucker’s miss was from 59 at the end of the first half.

@Manning2Harrison I like what you are doing. Ill give them a try and see what i get. But quick question, when you edit the sliders do you edit them in CFM or at the main menu?

[Manning2Harrison]

I do it within the CFM. I don't think doing it in the main menu affects the settings within an existing CFM, only any new ones you start.
