I think many of us are seeing, in our eyes, statistics that are out of whack. For instance, quarterback passing yards seem consistently high. I've also heard of people having low YPC by running backs, but I have yet to see this occur.

If you're seeing this too, please post here and say what year you're in, what options you are using (X-factor? chemistry?) as well as the initial player file (OPU? one that ships with the game? real names mod?).

For me, I'm playing with full x-factor and the player file that ships with the game. I've yet to see the running back issues others have faced, but I am seeing some "great" performances by quarterbacks. However, I'm not sure the statistics are out of whack, it just seems that quarterback injuries are inordinately low. I've had only two quarterbacks face injuries that cause them to miss ANY games in the (admittedly small) 1+ years that I've played.

The team statistics for rushing and passing yards seem "normal" - the problem I see is that 32 quarterbacks are getting ALL the passing yards and thus their statistics look inflated.

I posted elsewhere that I'm not seeing depressed rushing stats. After two seasons, 10 RB's have >2000 yards and >4.5ypc and five had >2000 yards and 3.8-4.4ypc. As far as passing, there are 25 QB's in my universe with >27 starts. Of those, 7 have >8000 yards passing and five have 7500-7999 yards passing. There's one QB with a rating >100 over two seasons, and 5 with ratings of 90-99. It may be a little high for QB's (not sure), but it doesn't appear grossly out of whack so far.

I'm using X-Factor and Chemistry on.

My first season I onyl saw two 4000 yard passers, definitely in line with what'd you expect in an NFL season. The disheartening thing was that the great majority of remaining qbs were in the mid to high 3000 yard range. Again, I think this can be attributed to lack of quarterback injuries.
