How do you make your game mores difficult (aside from playing in Extreme)?

I’ve tried playing in Extreme many times but it is just too frustrating and unrealistic.

What do you guys do to make Hard difficulty, for lack of a better word, harder?

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Barred salary cap increases

• Obligatory player trades when maxed

• 1 min quarters

• Making as many RB runs as possible

• Not converting for 2 points

Nothing’s worked. I always win. I’m looking for a varied, realistic and not frustrating experience.

In other words, I want a fictional NFL HC career where I don’t blow the field up and take 35 consecutive SBs.

Any suggestions?
