I am saying this to say be careful to not try and get more from the base than what it is giving you because you can ruin a potentially good base.

I cannot believe this is the first time this has happened to you
it happens all the time when tweaking...may not be a lot, but it does happen.
I will say this, if you are tweaking for strenth but find speed - Don't over tweak the base, use the speed for another players and get another base and start all over again.
young tweakologist need to understand that you have to treat each base as a single item. what will get that base running may not work exactly on the second base from the same bag!!!
also, I have these recommendations for the young tweakologist to use:
1 - purchase at least 5 bases from the masters (don't just get 5 Hulk bases and think your on easy street) you need these bases for (a) to test your tweaking skills; (b) to have talent in case you never achive what you want
2 - gather up all the tweaking training info you can find and have it on hand when you go back into the lab.
3 - place bases on your team with their positions in mind. If the bases do not run on that player, just change the players.
4 - practice your new team and use all of the plays you like to run, work on your schemes, etc until you are happy with where you have the talent.
5 - don't be afaid to make changes. your DB is strong but slow, you may need to change him out for a player that can run; or a OLB that is fast but not consistant on his arc...rb can ru n to the right but has trouble going to the left...is that a starter or sub??? These are all the questions you need to find the answers to while you are in the lab and before you hit the field on Game day!!
