Game management, play calling (and everything else taken out of ROs) have no bearing then on the coaching rating?

Correct. It probably will some day, but right now the AI game planning decisions only look at rosters. Well, with the exception that your coaching style determines your playbook, so if you want to build a 3-4 roster you'll need a head coach with a 3-4 defensive style.

Maybe at some point pass focused HCs will throw more than rush?? Lol.

Not trying to be a smart **** with that comment .. I do appreciate what you are doing. I do really enjoy the ROs ..

Midway point of Season 3 of the first roster-only league...

17 teams are averaging fewer than 10 points per game.
5 teams are averaging 5 or fewer points per game.

Again, this is after eight games into the season. I love the concept, and I'm attached by virtue of this being "my" franchise since I was an original owner, but it's getting really hard to maintain the mental illusion and appearance of football when teams are routinely generating sub-200 yard offensive performances.

Roster 127 is in its last season of 4.4.

Custom Roster 130 is, I think, the first roster-only league to hit 0.4.5 and is playing its second preseason game tonight, so I will be able to compare data in a couple weeks (it is also in its 3rd overall season)

I know what you mean. I have a team in a roster-only league, I check their scores but don't otherwise care what they're doing.
