steelerfan's Slider Work and Stats Thread (NCAA 12)

I started a dynasty as ULL (as the HC) to do a little more work on these.

Here's my opener:

ULL 10 at Oklahoma State 52

Impressions:

The score (52-10) looks pretty good. I'm not sure what prestige OSU is, but I know ULL is a 1* so they should get beat pretty handily. I would think you should have a little more offense as OSU typically doesn't have a solid defense, although I haven't seen the roster for OSU to know how that shakes out. I don't necessarily mean you should score more, but your yardage should be a little higher. Biggest issue I see is CPU still can't run the ball. If they're going 34-50 for 563 yards and 5 TD's through the air, the run game should yield more yardage because I would assume at some point you're selling out to stop the pass.

someone at operationsports said that the patch has been out since saturday. He was able to change ratings in dynasty as a test. Just FYI, looking forward to these the numbers looks good

The patch has, supposedly, been out for the 360. I'm on PS3.

Yeah 360's patch was out even Friday maybe? PS3 I'm guessing late this afternoon....maybe change guessing to hoping.

I've looked for this before, and the best I can get is FG statistics by distance, by team.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/...fieldGoalsMade

I think that ESPN link gives most of the information one would need for something like this, but the "Field Goal" PDF available from the NCAA's own statistics site lists how many attempts each team had blocked and the average (mean) distance of both makes and misses, if that helps any.

http://web1.ncaa.org/mfb/mainpage.jsp

It also has a handy "totals" line so you don't need to plug anything into Excel!

[steelerfan]

Thanks, gator. That will come in handy as these get dialed in.

Game 2 with ULL:

ULL 21 at Kent 14

Stat: ULL / Kent

First Downs: 9 / 17
Total Offense: 181 / 251
Rush-yds-TD: 30-6-0 / 42-168-0
Comp-Att-TD: 14-24-1 / 9-22-2
Passing yards: 175 / 83
3rd Downs: 4-14 (28%) / 6-12 (50%)
4th Downs: 0-0 / 0-1
RZ-TD-FG: 0-0-0 / 2-2-0
Turnovers: 0 / 5
Intercepted: 0 / 5
PR yards: 7 / 15
KR yards: 58 / 68
Total yards: 246 / 334
Punts-Avg: 9-39.3 / 5-42.6
Penalties: 7-74 / 4-50
TOP: 18:12 / 17:48
Sacks (def): 6 / 6

Notes: UGLY game. 12 sacks, 5 picks total. Don't necessarily gauge my offensive production, I'm using the team's playbook and it's all Pistol and Shotgun. Not my style at all, lol.

Roy, OSU didn't run much until they were way ahead. By then, I knew it was coming. As you see, Kent ran wild on me, lol.

No problem. Unless there is an advanced metrics site out there tracking things like whether a ball is spotted on the hash, then I think the information in that PDF is going to be about as good as it gets. I used to work in the sports information business so I'm familiar with the software that I believe all NCAA schools use to input football stats. To the best of my recollection, there is no way to record where the ball is spotted in an "east-west" fashion.

So I think your approach of equally distributing test attempts between left-center-right is the way to go. Let me know if I can help in any way with any of your testing now that us "commoners" will have the game in a few hours!

[steelerfan]

Thanks again, gator.

I'm absolutely open to any and all feedback on sliders.

The only feedback I don't care for is the "I played one game and..." or "I'm using these with 7 minute quarters and...", lol.

Just a note, I will post my sliders some time before midnight tonight. Shortly after that, this thread will be moved to the slider section of the forums.

Any chance you could post them sooner or PM me a rough set? There is no chance I'll be awake at midnight and I can't access the site at work. I'd love to see what you have adjusted ahead of time. Have you played any games on Heisman at all?

[steelerfan]

I'll post in a couple hours, but I'm not sure when I'll get to posting last year's.

You can get the general idea of my sliders by looking in the TGT PS3 OD slider thread though.

I searched and can't even find that thread. I'll just wait for your sliders.

Thanks. Those are very similar to stuff I used last year. It's nice to find someone whose sliders are similar so you can compare, contrast and make better adjustments quicker. Looking forward to your NCAA 12 ones. Part of me is curious about Heisman again though with quite a few good things about it. The biggest thing I'm worried about is the cpu spread running game which people say is good on Heisman although I wonder if it would be just as good on AA with slider tweaks. And the pass defense being better on Heisman although I'm not a great passer so this may be a good thing for me.

Huh. I thought the speed wasn't reset to default for user games on '11. Guess I just learned something new. That does explain some of the results I saw on '11 though, lol.

Yeah I didn't think it was reset when playing a user vs user game in the OD, Maybe it was my mind. I think Haumiller might be a little confused on that one. ha ha ha

[steelerfan]

Ok, guys, the OP has been updated with all of my sliders and settings.
