Well, over 484 games later (not counting those prior to the Ruined-D testing), we are finally bringing this to a close…

The credits first:

*********************************************************

Well, I think this is pretty much as good as we can get it, given the limitations/tendencies of EA's game engine.

**Recommendations:

Int% - this is the number that is off the most (likely a result of an increase in BB). I would suggest that people lower the INT slider by 1 or 2 points to 25 or 24. It's hard to know when/if you are at a threshold setting (eg. a 1pt change suddenly greatly impacts the results (as TACK did previously at 6 vs. 5)), but I don't think this modification will wreck things (and should improve this % a bit).

FGAcc - I am personally going to leave it alone (as I can live with the FG%), but a person may want to try it one point lower (37).

Sacks - not too far off here (I can live with the average, hope you can too). Caution if you attempt to increase it by raising BB - this will impact the YPC (which is fantastic as it is) and likely influence interceptions as well.

***Finally, it is unknown whether this set will be suitable for actually coaching your team (I know I will be using the v.10 for all the games that I watch during the season). It may or may not need adjustment when you go to call your games(?).
