Weird stuff this week.
Nick Chubb had over 300 rushing yards for Nashville and both Columbia and Royal Oak had punt return TDs in their match. |

CD, can you take a look-see at the penalties? Particularly personal fouls. I feel like the amount I'm seeing is extremely unrealistic.

I mean, I guess personal fouls include facemask, roughing the passer, late hits, unnecessary roughness, etc. Maybe the sim is in line with rates of league incidences...
It just seems a bit excessive sometimes so I wonder.. |

Andy Lee punts 61 yards, returned for 69 yards by free agent Touchdown, conversion
Andy Lee punts 64 yards, returned for 25 yards by free agent Andy Lee punts 44 yards, returned for 14 yards by free agent My special teams must really suck allowing a Free Agent to just run wild in this game. |

Up 31-17 and they get a sack by the DE but it's erased by a penalty when my SS lines up in the neutral zone - smaaaart. Then they force a fumble on another sack, recovered by the offense and give up a 3rd and 15 conversion for a TD. Next offensive series Fitz throws a pick and you're deep in my territory to tie it up. Then my defensive MVP, Jayon Brown, steps up again for another sack, then Derwin James, then Ronald Blair. 3 straight sacks and a punt later, normalcy is restored and we hold onto the win. |

I had hope until the end... converting a 4 and 2 is difficult for my team...although had we gone to OT, I had 0 confidence... |

CD, I don't think this will ultimately matter much but when you go commercial you probably want to tinker with the stats calcuations a little bit.
Right now the individual passing stats show that "Free Agent" for Columbia has thrown something like 111 passes w/ 8 interceptions. I presume it's combined the stats from my 1 game w/ a FA quarterback w/ someone else's stats in his game w/ a FA quarterback. My dude clearly didn't throw 111 passes in his single start. I've thrown 7 picks all year, 4 by Fitz and then 3 in the game I had to start with the FA. Meanwhile it says that said FA has thrown 8 interceptions on his own. So there's some sort of compiling glitch w/ the random FAs there. |

This is quite literally a game based on algorithms that are largely impacted by how you set your roster and manage your play calling through game planning. Increasing my blitz percentages, especially with certain positions, will in fact lead to more turnovers by your shitty team. Increasing the percentage I run the ball, especially on 2nd/3rd and short, instead of allowing Flacco to throw the ball, can in fact benefit my team. Have a 1/2 punch of Gurley and Ingram, and limiting Flacco (my shit QB) on variable down and distance is in fact game planning and exactly what this ****ing reality football is about. I am sorry you suck ass at it. |
