Thread to show how the sim engine looks post patch

[jello1717]

How is the sim engine looking for everyone post patch? I simmed 2024 and got a lot worse results than I’ve had in any season prepatch. This is just a sample size of 1 though, so I’d like to see other results. Please test with a new dynasty to get all the fixes, including FCS changes which could affect the results with them getting fewer unrealistic upsets.

Biggest takeaways:
1. Ohio St and Georgia didn’t make the playoffs in 2 different , but equally bad ways.

2. Ohio St went 11-2 on the season (including bowl win) and was left out. Oregon had 4 losses before the playoffs and got in as an at large (lost in title game for 5th loss).

3. Georgia went 8-5. What’s worse, Oklahoma and TAMU had 3 losses, EVERY other SEC team had at least 5 losses…….

4. 17 players rushed for 1000+, including 4 above 1500 (Ollie Gordon led with 1667).

Georgia won it the first 2 years in my sims. Beating Ohio state year 1 and UAB year 2. Oregon beat North Texas year 3.

I noticed it says in the headline the championship is always final/ot no matter the score.

North Texas 79 across the board beat Texas and Alabama who were 88 and 90 overall respectively.

I didn’t bother to look at UAB year 2 but I’m guessing they were rated in the 70s

Going to run multiple sims of season 1 and get the data compiled, then will have a post detailing what I find. I will mostly be looking at the macro level stuff like total plays, run/pass ratios, yards/play.

Interested to see how that comes out! Thanks canes!

I actually think the poll/playoff results are worse now based on what I’ve seen simming 5 seasons twice. It is what it is at this point.
