Anyone Notice That YPC for RB in Simulated Stats is very low?

[Titans4]

It doesn't matter how I set my sliders. I've used every slider set avalible, but it doesn't have any effect on the YPC when you sim. Adrian Peterson is averaging 3.4 YPC after 4 games. There are very few starters over 4.0 YPC and most back ups are below 3.0 YPC. I've edited the coaching scheme for all 32 teams so that all RB were set to "speed" and every offensive line posistion was set to run block, but no matter what I have tried, the YPC are insanely low, regardless of the sliders I use. I don't even think sldiers effect simmed stats. Most RB have a long of about 5 or 6 each game, and the only RB averaging over 4.0 YPC are ones who have had a very long run, otherwise, they average 3.0 or worse. Please give some suggestions, because I can figure out how to fix it!!!

Sliders only affect gameplay, not simulated games.


Changing YPC and Yds/Rec is difficult if not impossible to change using coaching sliders.

That's odd. Mine seem like they're right on the money. But it's true that sliders only affect in-game stats. Sorry I couldn't be more help. The only thing you might want to try is raising the offensive aggression for CPU controlled teams

Yeah that's strange you're having that problem, last time I checked league stats which was week 9 YPC looked like it should

Coaching sliders affect simmed games, if you slide thhe pass/run slider to 20 toward the run side, the sim stats will be run heavy, but in most cases it makes it hard to win simmed matchups unless you see in Team Stats that your opponent is giving up lots of run yards.

Yes it can affect total rush yards and number of attempts but it does not help yards/carry.

I see rb's getting less than 2 ypc often when simming.Once,I forget who it was,one had 23 carries for -5 yards.He had to be running backwards a few times.It makes me not save the sim when crap like that happens.

Madden and Head Coach have both had that problem,especially with speed backs.In HC '09 guys like Jammal Charles would have like 89 carries for 155 yards at one point during a season.Micheal Turner type backs wouldn't be affected,guys that can break tackles often.

This is a pet peeve of mine that makes me want to play every game or at least only keep simmed games that have reasonable stats.

Arian Foster is below 3 YPC.
Ahmad Bradshaw is below 3 YPC.
Knowshon Moreno is below 3 YPC.
Ray Rice was until I played them.


What's weird is there are periods where the entire league loses about 0.2-0.8 YPC off their average. Happens usually over a span of about 3 or 4 weeks in franchise. It's just really odd that everybody drops at the same time. BTW, only 7 RB are above 4.0 YPC in my frachise.
