I am looking forward to this as well. I may ask for advice during the recruiting/dynasty portion. I generally leave those aspects alone in NCAA because they are pretty clunky and previously outside my interest level. The game I can play well - the particulars behind the game not so much. I know Kush and Leroy will be hearing from me seeking advice.
After more time with the sliders today, I think 54 is the right place for Roughing the Passer. I still think 55 can work, but the moment you increase Pass defense to aggressive, the penalies begin to accumulate at a rapid pace.
I feel like the strategies have been tuned pretty well this year, as each one has a benefit and a risk. right now, holding penalties are good. Turn it to Hold Blocks longer, and you will get more holding calls. But I was able to use the Hold Blocks option to jumpstart my running game on TCU. It cost me some penalties, but it also helped me move the ball. I suspect if I had been on the road, the balance might have gone the other way.
Otherwise, I'm pretty darn happy with everything I put up in my last post of sliders. But it will be worth looking at how making defensive and offensive adjustments affect penalties and other factors.

I tried again with the roughing set to 55. I had three roughing calls in one half (maybe even one quarter), two on one drive. All on the same team.
The holds feel mostly okay. My worry is that they're usually directed at one team. I leave the blocking at its neutral setting, but it seems that I have many times more holding calls than the CPU. It's annoying. If everyone could keep an eye on that, I'd appreciate it.
The rest of the sliders feel pretty good. I still have issues getting sacks...usually. But, I like the way the game feels.
Remember we're doing created coaches...
Coach Jay Hawker has returned!
Sorry to hear about your grandmother, Kush. Take as much time as you need.
Sorry to hear that kush. My thoughts are with you and your family
Oh man, sorry to hear that Kush. My thoughts are with you, man.
I'm joining right now!
Thanks guys for all your well wishes. And thanks Firesloth, please sign up by creating a coach, don't use the existing coach!!!
I am going to look later to see who is signed up.
Kush,

Will do, thanks.
So sorry Kush! : (
I am in and my scouting is done!
I'm ready to advance...even if I'm not green.
I'm in and ready to advance, as well.
8 teams in and only 1 team is ranked. I like it.
I will join tomorrow night.
Even before the season starts, SMU's strip-club locker room is influencing off the field behavior: SMU linebacker's house burglarized by a prostitute he refused to pay.
I'm not going to suspend the kid. Hell, I'm not even going to cooperate with Kush's investigation.
But to prevent further incidents, SMU will be providing free escort services to all players.

Are you talking about a "lady friend" escort service or "some guy making sure they get to where they need to go" escort service? If it is the first, I may quit my Georgia Tech Head Coaching job for a coordinators job at SMU.

Coming from the former Tennessee coach whose predecessor there arranged for UT coeds to travel to recruits' high school games to cheer for them and to "escort" them around campus during their visits. What did they call them, "hostesses"?
When does a coed stop becoming a "hostess" and become a "hostess (totally not an escort, wink, wink, nudge, nudge)"?
Happy endings for all recruits!

In related news the entire Tulsa Football Team has requested transfers to SMU including the coaching and training staff.
UCLA is ready.
I got a cousin who caught a 40 pounder. Thing looked like a joke fish. You have time to hop in the leagues though.
