I don't know about you Red Bulls but our game had to be the lamest most unexciting game I've ever watched. Being evenly matched I figured it'd be close but I mean couldn't it be a bit more exciting. Both punters were top performers....nice.

Not a fan of the changes so far, good thing its early and a preseason game b/c Bort will have time to make some adjustments.

that was pretty snoozetastic, is it attributed to stellar d? or poor o?

Maybe a little bit of both. This will allow us to see how the adjustments affect our players and work accordinly with that. My CB and Hawk were going at it all day it looks like.

We converted 2 4th downs for TD's, other than that our offense was fairly stagnant.

I am not impressed by the changes.

I wouldnt change anyhing on skill points right now. This sim is completely fuxxed right now.

I had a CPU game about an hour ago and NOBODY caught any passes and there were dozens of penalties. They need to reset this crap and go back to season 3.

This is seriously fuxxed.

REALLY? Weird, our sim seemed perfectly fine.
Only had 1 penalty. About 5 dropped passes on each side, which is about the same as last year for us
Although there were punt returns that were fumbled for both sides. And that fumble was returned for a TD, for both sides.
But overall it didn't seem 'fuxxed'. Just needed a bit of a tweak is all.
Good game though w/ a top 3 Zeta team.

Please ignore Club Chicken Little. The sky, in fact, is NOT falling.

I noticed that my top 2 CBs played like 80 plays and the rest only 20, guess the defensive coordinator thought they had enough stamina to go the whole game.

Still, if there's anything I've learned about this is that, they'll probably dial it down so much for the next game that it'll be completely different from this one, and then that game will have no correlation to what's actually going to happen during the regular season.

The sky may not be falling, but the picnic was not a success!

I guess we'll see. We also have to fix our energy=sub settings.
I noticed that you have to put a backup for CB1 and CB2 though. Putting all your players in order on just CB does nothing.

The cb1 cb2 cb3 and so on positions are for the punt team and the wr1 wr2 wr3 positions are for punt return...that's the way.I understood it at least.

Doesn't it draw backups from the regular CB pool on the chart?

I couldn't' agree with you more.

Too many changes, too drastic.

Nope... sorry. It's not for special teams, and it does not draw from reg CB pool chart.
What I did (and hopefully it'll work next time) is to Put the normal CB chart in the order I wanted, and remove ALL CB's from CB1, CB2, CB3-5.
Than I put all the CB's in CB1 in order, then all the CB's in CB2 in order except the #1 CB. Then 3rd-5th CB on CB3 and so on.
Hope that fixes it.
Because our CB's had plays of
60, 63, 21, 17, 5
Which leads me to believe the only play our #5 CB got in on was ST's. And since our #4 CB is also on ST that he was only in a few plays too.
Of course I could be wrong, but I don't think our energy-sub settings were that messed up. Leading me to believe that the old CB depth chart means squat now.

If you watch the replays, the WR's and CB's are named WR1-5 and CB1-5
