As an update, I just ran 16 games in franchise mode (one week's worth of games, so all teams were included), and here are the updated stats:
Rushing:
30.4 carries per game, the NFL average is 26. Per team/per game rushing average of 106 yds, the NFL average is 108 yds. Per carry average of 3.5, the NFL average is 4.1.
Passing:
An average of 18.8 completions per game (NFL average is 22), 31.1 attempts per game (NFL average is 36), a completion % of 60.4 (NFL average is 63%), 265.6 yds per game (NFL average is 241), 1.73 TDs per game/per team (NFL average is 1.8), 0.53 ints per game/per team (NFL average is 0.8) and 2.2 sacks per team/per game (NFL average is 2.3).
IMPORTANT: Head coach settings are 37% Pass / 63% Run and Aggressive 70 / Conservative 30... but should be 68 Pass / 32 Run and Aggressive 30 / Conservative 70 for fast-simmed non-watched games (and see penalty and script settings above in this thread)... also see here:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=20623&start=10#p114378I'm satisfied with those numbers and am not going to make any additional tweaks at this time in my franchise file. The settings do cause team's to run slightly more than the NFL average (and at a YPC slightly below), but that seemed to cause closer more competitive games, which I was happy to see. Because I think it is nearly impossible to get the Yards Per Attempt stat down in the game to the NFL average of 6.7, I think the only way to have realistic Passing Yards Per Game is to set the coaching Pass/Run percentage so that in the game each team does not through the ball quite as much as a real NFL game. So, like I said, I am going to continue on with these settings.
