Figured we needed a counter-thread to the normal doom-and-gloom ones. I was pretty happy with the sim this season... especially compared to the last two.
My personal list:
+Most teams ran pretty balanced offenses. Slam ball had its place, but you can't run it every down and be successful. Screens occasionally work. And outside running works, too, though more on that at the bottom
+False starts are way down
+The level of pump/ fake seemed ok
+DLine seemed to get decent pressure over time, but nothing too crazy
+Teams still seemed to score late in the season instead of our normal 7-3 playoffs
-Outside running plays tend to either result in -1 yard or 50, depending on whether the safety on the edge decides to pass his vision check or not
-Still no QB leading the receivers on passes
-Run blocking in space is still a little whacky
