I hav woosahs editor and hav made some adjustments like yours. I play as the canes in S14, and i also made them a bit worse. This works for a while, but the ai is just too bad. There are two simple things you need to do to make it a good challenge permanently.

1. 5 minute halves, short intense matches. Some times **** goes wrong and you only hav a small time to come back, it means the oppostion can win close ones, and you can get through seasons quicker, its a must, 10 minute halves youve got too long to come back.

2. Self enforced defensive player lock. This is also a must. The defensive ai is so bad that the opposition never really has a chance. So you make it even by pushing the player select button, (on defense) you must stick with the player the computer gives you(even if its a prop) and you must stick with them until the next ruck, e.g. if you make a tackle and theres an offload or you get beat, you hav to watch the rest of the play unfold . This allows the ai to score good tries against it self, with you as a sweeper. This is a must for sp challenge and it is easy to obey. I consistantly scrape through tri nations, havent won a world cup, or s14 ***le yet.

These rules and woosahs editor hav made R2006 like a new game for me, forget about squeezing more life out of it, it will be reborn!! Some people hav trouble obeying the player lock , but it is a must, once you get used to it you will do it without thinking, trust me its worth it.

Ozzy, I know you dont want any rules you hav to force yourself to follow, but if you dont do it then SP is over, trust me, ive tried everything.
