Madden Manifesto 2010

[St. Francisco]

Hey adem, I look forward to what you guys find out on the defensive side of the ball.

Wanted to let you know that I've also been running tests with the coaching philosophies, but for now mine are centered around offense; more specifically, pass/run ratios, and RB1/RB2 ratios. I've developed team profiles based off the 2008 regular season IRL stats, as well as profiles based off the 2009 regular season Madden stats. Currently in the process of analyzing and testing:

I plan on adjusting these, seeing if I can get them to match the teams, then I'm gonna move on to the offensive agression slider, and see how it effects the stats. Also planning on looking at the priority sliders to see if I can see any difference there.

Great! The more information the better, so every little effort counts. The patches are certainly going to impact our efforts, so I'm not rushing at this moment, but I get the impression that the majority of the effort spent on the patches are going to be gameplay related, so I think our work will be valuable either way.

If that's how you feel about it, feel free to ignore it and go about your life.

Does anybody know why Sm has gone so long without updating the Manifesto thread at OS?

I'll give him a call tonight and see where everything stands.

Did talk to sm27 last night, he's been in New York and Las Vegas for the past week or so. He's gonna be in Houston this week, but will have most of those days available. He's actually collecting some data from the playbooks for my end of the project tonight. He'll be testing the offensive sliders quite extensively as well.
