Notes:
- Playoff Game.
- Minnesota averaged 3.3 yards per carry.
- CPU pass rush feels a little better after lowering pass blocking
Overall:
Packers came back in the 4th to tie this game after I led 17-3 at halftime. I ultimately ended up kicking the GW field goal. I may look to tone down the roughing the passer penalty slider - I get a lot of these calls but the CPU doesn't. Also keep in mind that this Vikings team was loaded after making free agent signings and trades (they added Jamaal Williams, Jamal Agnew, and most importantly Isaiah Simmons at some point).
Consider this slider set to essentially be final, so feel free to play with it yourself. I'm happy with the balance I'm getting now from game to game.

Yes - enough that it doesn't stall the game too much. I've also seen players go out with injuries that last for multiple weeks as well. I find the slider at anything higher than 15 results in the game clock being stopped too much because players have "minor" injuries where they can eventually return into the game.
Right now, not really. I may try no user catching though

Overall:
Okay, so I've started a new season (season 2) of my current save and turned off progressive fatigue at this point so there won't be any effect from that this season. I don't know if it was just this game but it definitely felt more challenging on defense. Keenan Allen was torching my DBs and I was lucky enough to capitalize on 2 turnovers in the 4th quarter to come back and win (scored 17 straight points!). That being said, Justin Jefferson also was a beast and truly felt like an x-factor. I need to find a better way of approaching defense as Caleb Williams picked me apart - I think this was mostly off man-to-man blitz coverages.
I also had a total of 4 fumbles this game, 2 of them in the red zone. If it weren't for that I think I would have been in a better position to not be losing 31-21 going into the 4th quarter.

Overall:
I'm standing by this slider set as of now with progressive fatigue turned off. CPU completion percentage is high but that's something I'm willing to sacrifice at the moment for these results - I'll just need to improve on defense.
The Commanders came in with a pretty highly-rated defense (84 OVR defense) with Da'Ron Payne and Jonathan Allen as the highlights on the defensive line. Mike Sanristil is now a superstar corner and effectively shut down my passing game. They also added Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and Alex Singleton in the offseason, which were solid signings. Down 7 points I started to force some bad throws that led to 2 INTs in the last 3 minutes of the game. An INT by Mekhi Blackmon gave me a little bit of hope there at the end of the game but I couldn't turn it into points. On offense Washington added Tory Horton one of the best college receivers

Shedeur Sanders! Was drafted by the Giants and I thought it would be interesting to see how I do against the rookie. His favorite targets were Malik Nabers and Theo Johnson.
I made some changes on defense, mainly signing and starting Jayron Kearse and Channing Tindall who both were upgrades from what I previously had. Their presence was immediately felt: Kearse had a pick six and Tindall had the game's only sack. I really liked how this game played out - Vikings took advantage of a weak Giants run defense, gaining 211 rushing yards and controlling the clock with 35 minutes of possession. The only blemish was from a McCarthy interception that I feel like should've been called pass interference.
