i don't know the difference between moving any sliders as i thought all penaties were pretty much animations. i am wondering if moving the penalty slider UP actually calls for that animation more. Like moving face mask UP generates that animation more. who knows man, this whole animation driven gameplay system gives me a darn headache. I just want a game that plays football.
I know what you mean by the 1 and 0 think... what is the difference between offsides from 0 to 100? one would almost think:
0: can't ever be called offsides. go ahead and stand between QB and center in Sg and intercept the snap
5: jump all the time, the refs will typically turn a blind eye to it. risk/reward should be worth it.
95: refs wont always call it but highly likely that they will
100: refs will never miss an off sides call
IMO, you are probably right that its more tied to how/what the CPU players will do versus how the refs call the game. Brain hurts!!!!
