Truthfully, no. I haven't learned anything super secret. I only tested a few games with Basic AI. If I do see something, I post it here:

Two threads and multiple post made by me about updates. Go to the game list and see that I only simmed about 4-5 games testing two things. 3-4 games about the new pass block code which was very buggy when it came out, and 1 game was to see if DE's on flat zones will go after QBs if they scramble out of the pocket.
If you don't believe me, check it. Should all be on the first page and nothing super secret about it. You can see the players builds if I remember correctly. So see which DT's get the most sacks.
I know you are pretty new to Drygerian also. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone. I'm just saying that the potential is certainly there for any tester to gather extra info.
Certain people have always been above the curve in terms of adding jumping to CBs and carrying to HBs and things like that. Either they were just really good (and perfectly timed) guesses at the time, or someone has extra info.
Even if the attributes for each player were easy to determine (they aren't - you have to fish through tons of crap), it would still be easy to bury a small test inside a large test. Without knowing what you were testing, then there would be no way to know. I don't see individual player settings listed anywhere. Are there any tests on the benefits of aggressive coverage vs semi-aggressive vs medium? Most teams struggle through most of the season trying to decide which is best each year. If I could run 4-5 test games on that up front, it would have helped greatly in the first half of the season. Not to mention that without having a test server, it is pretty hard to get all your DBs on the same page for a 1 game test of a setting.You mean like 4-5 scrimmages at the beginning of a season? Oh wait, we can already get 6 of those for free...
Edit: This was not a rhetorical question for sake for clarity...
