The CF test is a bunch of random test parameters showing little to none thought. The measured variables are no much different. There is no test methodology, and any change that will be made/approved based on that will have nothing to do with 'balanced' sim. So unless GLB is lucky after two days of wide sim it will turn out that the formula's need to be adjusted again.
Examples :
(1) Team 1, Speedster WR Two- Catch writes : 26% of routes CF fired
No : It is closer to 50% when QB has time, and close to 10% when he doesn't. The 25% average has nothing to do with the sim, it is just tell you how many game with the 1st type of D was used and how many of the other one.
(2) Team 1, Slot WR Two : he played 51 plays against the cover defense, which is below his average number of plays per game vs the blitz defense.
(3) Team 1 and 2 are so different that trying to compare between then is just
a. Team 2, doesn' t have a speed WR at all.
b. Team 2 one receiver less then team 1.
Real conclusion:
- Catch fake fires a lot if you give it time.
- Avoid fake may not work. But then again it may work.
- Fake % AEQ seems important (comparing TEs and WRs). But then again it may not.
Actually there is some methodology. Any time I took part in a test, I also went back and looked at my own teams games and included those results as a "control"/comparison. Also, when testing advances, the older test serves as a "control". And, those posted results aren't the only ones, just from what you could call, the "primary" on that subject. Overall, there are generally a lot of games run and input from pretty much everyone on the test server. Which by the way, anyone can apply to become. I've seen it posted a few times over the time I've played GLB. But back to the number of games run, doing it that way pretty insures the average will be what to expect. It is after all what is done by statisticians, throw away the two extremes and keep the middle. Not saying there isn't a better method out there, but I think there is a time constraint on the testers who for the most part are messing with GLB after work. I mess when I'm not playing with my grandson. TEs, hmm, mine don't have catch fake, both are 1000 yard receivers, don't think they need anything. Their routes are the bomb. Just my opinion mind you.
