Eden: Congrats on that, but I wouldn't get too confident. Ivan is definitely a man who knows how to play the mind games and throw you off his trail. I wouldn't be surprised to see a completely different AI than what you've seen in the 30+ scrimmages/regular season games.Confident? I don't expect to beat them in the playoffs, on the road, with them having a promo. I'm just worried about getting to the CCG. That should be enough to ensure a ticket to Pro. A trophy would be really, really nice, but the important thing is promoting out. For that, Vienna is a bigger obstacle. Even the Turkeys concern me, as they did pretty well defensively against us last game.
I'll worry about the game when we get there. And they haven't been playing with the same AI. They actually made several changes, maybe for us, maybe for Vienna (less likely since this was where I started my scouting process), or maybe for one of their scrimmages. I created some custom D plays specifically to step on things that they didn't end up running much. I'm just gratified my D held as well as it did because it was not designed to stop what they threw at me. Their late season AI doesn't look much like their early season one, either. The good news is I change AIs every competitive game - regular season or playoffs - and always have, even last season when we were 5-11, so this is nothing new.
