Yeah you can actually make the cuts yourself. So if you'd like you can take care of it. If not, cut enough so you can sign your FA. If you still haven't PMed me a FA you still have time. If you have, then you can go ahead and sign your FA - unless I told you otherwise.

EDIT - Dolphins were being cunts so the trade is off.

[Your Mom]

Even if we just did it a few minutes ago?

[alldaws1]

Yeah I've already made my 3 cuts. Can I go back and cut more and sign the FA I wanted or do I have to wait because I've already readied up?

[DYSI]

All the requests I've seen are good to go.

And I think you can go back, just make the cuts from the roster section.

Regarding the sliders LL posted, the interceptions were better, but the running game was off. Like, there was literally nowhere to run. Couple of picks that should have been made were dropped. Very little time in the pocket, although I guess it was more realistic (especially using the Bears ). Receivers weren't getting open deep, which resulted in the likes of Forte and Kellen Davis getting 7 and 6 catches each. I'm guessing this is tied to the rushing sliders, but my return game was Madden 12-esque. Oh, and as bad as my rushing game was, the AI was ridiculous. I like to think I'm pretty good at stopping the run, but Demarco Murray had something like 158 yards on 13 carries, and he has busting through tackles like nobody's business..

I think they made the game a little more realistic (except the running game), but if some people were finding it tough on standard All-Pro, they might really struggle. I'd leave it at default for now. Admittedly, I kept the quarter length at 8 and didn't change the game speed to slow as the sliders suggest, but I feel it's slow enough on normal and fuck playing 15 minute quarters.

One thing I would recommend is bumping all the penalties up to 53, I actually saw a false start and an offside. Up fatigue to 60 as well, saw some good defensive line rotation on longer drives. Not sure how I feel about changing the injury slider yet, but I haven't really seen any so far.

[mystikz]

I made my cuts probably don't need any FAs. Just really want to get started. Maybe turn injuries off during the preseason sim, and then back on after. I haven't seen many yet either but fuck injuries when you aren't even playing.

[DYSI]

Just post here after you trim your roster down and later tonight I'll sim if enough of you have posted.

[Cactus Drags]

All ready to go here.

[Your Mom]

My roster appears to be ready to go

[alldaws1]

Ready.

[Monkey D. Lars]

ready

[Maxx]

Ready to roll

[alldaws1]

What's the roster size limit? Is it 53 or 55?

[Cactus Drags]

53

[mystikz]

Yeah I cut to 53. Not gonna bother with FAs yet.

Tougher decisions on FAs with the salary cap with the penalties and all. I think I did okay.

Ready for the regular season.

[Haloheadfire]

Ready for the season too.

Also agree with Mystikz on the taking off injuries for the Preseason.

[Dan]

Yeah you can release down to 53 then it wont require any cuts.

[Cactus Drags]

Can you just toggle injuries on and off like that? Good idea if so.

[Your Mom]

I assume the computer will do the cuts for me right? I got it at 70 like it told me to but I dont care much about the rest of them
