Have you been able to test or read anything that you are worried about ?

Cool

I have not other than the draft classes. But I was gone for awhile and need to catch up. I would think we are clear to proceed but best to let some other leagues games get played and find out for sure.

Excellent news. They came through early for everyone. I am kind of sad I won't ever see a simmed game state line where Bryce Petty has 22 rushing attempts.

unfortunately guys... I've seen reports that theres still issues with lineman regressing... I've got a class till around 6 and then I can get some screeshots in here

EDIT: Good news. From the information I've gathered, its due to large sack amounts allowed by mainly LT's. Super simming seasons usually lead to high sack numbers, so hopefully with our leagues being mostly users it won't be as bad for us

Yeah, that is the part that is hard to test. Simming and playing out all games won't give us the same results always. Hopefully they tested extensively. Unless someone finds something egregious, we will continue as planned to start up tomorrow.
