The last thing I'm going to show you is just some things you might want to keep in mind
going in to the new season. Since we've already re-ordered our depth charts. The season has
started. If you hit schedule, the next thing that is going to come up is your first pre-season
game. But just some things I want to show you. I'm in the main screen here, if I go
to front office mode and go to finance, I can find out who's in a contract here. Now
what a contract here means is that this is that player's last year on contract. They,
after this season they are going to be free agents if I don't re-sign them. So it's really
nice to know who you have coming up, that's coming on contract. If they don't play well,
obviously you will cut them but you're going to want to look at them a little bit harder
because that's going to, how well they play this year and how much more their rating goes
up is going to dictate how much money you're going to give them next time you go to the
off season menu that we just went through. So it's a really nice thing to look at. You
can also look at other things like your highest paid players. Jared Allen, the Defensive End,
the young guy, I just gave him a huge contract, is my highest paid player. So you can look
at all different kinds of things. These are all the different things you can look for
in the front office mode. You can't change anything but you can look at where all your
money is going and how much your spending on, and on what. The other thing I want to
show you is just the coaching. You can go to coaching and scheme here and since I have
a really good running back, I want to run a lot more and I'm going to click left so
that, that'll dictate that I want to run more. If I were to simulate any games, if you simulate
games this is going to be how much Run/Pass, all the different things you list here are.
So I want to run a lot more when I simulate because I have a really good Running Back.
I want to give as many carries as I can to Running Back 1. You'll see it's all the way
up and I'm going to go down here and since I just got a scrambling Quarterback, I want
to, I want to get, I want him to be a scrambler. I'm probably going to want to run a lot more
with him. So those are some things you're going to change depending on your personnel
and since I just got that scrambling Quarterback, we're going to up his scrambling over here.
Those are just some things you want to keep in mind going in to the new year but you should
be ready. That's all you've got to do for the off season menu, it's not as daunting
as it may seem and just have a lot of fun.
