Yeah I had to adjust settings to get the gameplay to be more realistic and even then something was always out of balance and overpowered, but the biggest draw for me was all the offseason stuff, the draft and roster building/management. The gameplay issues didn't affect the results/stats when I'd fast sim the games.  I think the default settings rendered trying to run the ball a worthless endeavor when you actually played the games out and then when you'd boost the running game settings, there was never really an equilibrium.  Something was always overpowered.  However, nothing I've played since then has come close to matching the offseason portion of the game.

I would routinely fire the Jags GM after year 1 and hope someone good was available as a replacement.  I'd also dump a lot of the bad salaries early, but you kinda had to do that over the course of 2 or 3 years.  If I did it all at once, the dead cap would be too high and the owner would fire me.  Good times.
