I was freaking ecstatic until I remembered that you lost your QB. It certainly appears that you have done a good job emulating Gabbert in the sim (and that's coming from a Mizzou fan). What a God awful showing.

Good lord I need to figure out how to score some points.

Okay - congratulations to the guy with Darren Sproles and all - but this is just goddamn reeruned.

He's only rushing for about 150 yds/gm right now. 1500 yds rushing through 11 games for a guy that had 1300 yds of total offense last season seems a little out of whack, eh? Though at least the 300 yds receiving seems fairly accurate.

Everyone else is pretty normal for RBs, but Darren Sproles has suddenly become Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl. He's a nice player - but that's just dumb.

Tigerhawks! Tigerhawks! Go! Go! Go!

Jesus H. Sproles at RB.

That's it and that's all.

The sim is ****ed up as it relates to that guy.

My teams had some close games in League 1.

I'm wondering if Fort Wayne would've had Ryan Succop attempt this field goal. Maybe it was windy or something, though, so I don't know that it's a logic problem. I probably would've gone for the field goal, though.

He averaged 7 YPC last season, but only 69 carries.

It'll be interesting to see if all the carries virtual Sproles is taking affect him in next season's sandbox.

Not sure man. Although I have no doubts that Sproles could put up scary numbers if given the ball 250 times. 7.5 ypc though? That's pretty astounding.

Could be the two pro bowlers on the left side (Bushrod, Joseph). Rest nothing to sneeze at either, C McClue, RG Blalock, RT Solder/Vollmer.

Looking at my settings as a whole it would appear to be very pass heavy. However with his YPC he's putting me in a lot of short yardage situations.

It'll be interesting to see if Sproles' numbers come down at some point. We have a couple of other outliers too, like Fitzgerald's catches and Chris Long's sacks.

It's not too hard to program a fix in for statistical flukes, though. If we have situations like this, I suspect that cdcox can build in some kind of governor for it. You want to have the possibility of freakish performances but obviously want them to be rare.

The interesting thing is that League 2 really doesn't have any of these outliers, which may be another piece of evidence that they'll normalize over time.

In a related issue...any idea how I can get Sproles to NOT return kick offs? Rather have Cribbs there.

I only recently put Sproles in as my starter. 2 games ago I think.

68 carries 510 yards 4 TDs 7.49 YPC

LMAO

Real life YPC must be highly valued in the sim engine.

I'm lobbying to put kick and punt returners in the lineup sheet so we can control it. I'm not sure what cdcox's thoughts are, though.

When will we get game stats?

I think that's an intermediate-term goal, but he's got to figure out reporting of things like tackle stats and stuff, and whether/how we'll include some fuzzy grades on non-skill players.

Im just now seeing that the season started lol
