The "trick" for our experiment is getting a full 30/30 and 40/40 plays used in a game, which has not been done and probably wont be, lol.
Hope you all have been enjoying this challenge and are not too frustrated by your results so far. Keep in mind that your have the play familiarity factor to deal with, which is why offense takes a little longer to catch up to the defense.
My last game I had 24 out of 30 defense plays used, which is pretty good. But, had 3 plays used 6 times. 3 secondary settings (1 deep man, 2 deep man, man) were used heavily, which will be adjusted for next game, by evening out the secondary settings. My linebacker settings are all set to 10.
Offensively, I used 30 out of 40 active plays, want to get that up to 35. My Personnel settings are equal. The Gameplan settings are favoring inside run & short pass, so may adjust them lower and outside run/med pass higher and slightly increase the long pass, hard to get away from the 4.6 nerf of the long pass.
One thing I would strongly urge all of you to do, if you have not already done so. In your Offense Personnel setting, zero out the GL offense for all med & long yardage. You dont want your GL offense being used on 1st & 10, for example. At least not against me or any other team with a good defense. When you call a 2rb3t3 play, you will get the GL defense called against it, unless you have a rule to prevent the Ai coach from automatically calling it. In my case, I want the GL defense vs a GL offense, the resutls are heavy in my favor. Only time they are not is if the PA TE Drag pass connects or tackles are missed and the RB breaks into the open.
