I don't pass commit at all. I don't use any of the "stuff" that you can use to adjust to certain tendencies. I just play straight D and make adjustments by play-calling.Quote:

Either A) your scores and yardage will be much lower than games in real life OR B) Your Yards per carry, catch, and completion are unrealistically high.Quote:

The result is a game that plays as close as possible to real life.
That's the gist of it, Kwizzy.
I'm not sure why you're getting raped by the CSU HB then. As you've likely seen, I've been playing with ULL and haven't been getting beat too frequently on the ground.Quote:

The downside is these are only :Colorado_State: vs :Wyoming: so I have yet to use them in any other game w/ other teams.
Well, in theory, if you get the game to give you good results with two teams over and over again, then, you should be able to go to the next team and get results that should equate to correct (get killed if they're a much better team, blow them out if they're a much worse team, and about the same if they are about the same difficulty or a little above or below).Quote:

I've always been a default sliders Heisman difficulty guy but since I'm waiting on getting a new PS3 and I'm hearing such praise for these sliders I might have to try them out for a couple of play now games. Good Look.
I am running Oregon's PB, so I'm doing a lot of shutgun running. Would you suggest moving Human Run Blocking up a bit? And/Or what other changes? I just averaged 2 YPC with your sliders playing as my teambuilder team (A offense, 99 OVR HB) vs. TCU.
Played my first game with these last night :Duke: (me) @ :Indiana: it was a GREAT game. I got out to a fairly early lead but :Indiana: came roaring back to take a 2 score lead heading into the 4th quarter. I fought back to tie the game with 18 seconds left. Then IU receiver shredded my press coverage and the QB hit him on the streak and my safety made the tackle but not before he got into field goal position and the kicker nailed the 45 yard field goal for the win as time expired.
I'm going to keep playing with these sliders and I'll post more stats. My only comments were I had ZERO run game other than 1 big draw play. There were 4 fumbles (which was the first time I had seen a fumble in 12). Game played really well though (although I am having some freezing issues but I think thats PS3 related and the game doesn't look as crisp to me as it did last year but maybe thats just me)
Starting now
:Houston: (CPU) @ :Rice: (ME) in the Battle for the Bayou Bucket!
I wouldn't advise increasing run blocking. Doing so will cause a "bowling pin" effect with the d-line. If anything, I'd lower CPU Run Defense.Quote:

The game felt good but I am still having issues with the game freezing up after big plays for a second or two. Anyone else on the PS3 having this issue?
How long does it take to play a game with 9 minute quarters? Like an hour? More?
Finally got another game in with ULL.

I had never messed with sliders before.Tried these last night and loved them, even though I had almost no running game with Notre Dame.I'll keep checking back for any tweaks you might make. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Fitz.

Steeler, how are you finding the running game? I find running in this game to be very inconsistent. However, I do find runs up the middle to go for pretty big yards but stuff to the outside often ends with a loss in the backfield.
I agree. It seems the linebackers and safeties flow with a passion to seal the outside.Quote:

Every game I played was rather realistic and if I remember correctly I went something like 3-2 overall. Really happy with the results.
My best game by far was the last one that I played before entering my dynasty. I played as La. Tech vs. Cincy. I figured it would be a close game, with Cincy thrwoing all over me, seeing as La. Tech top CB is 67 overall. The game started pretty rough for me with a fumble on the first drive. Cincy ended up going up 14-0 on me. I decided to jump into the 3-3-5 Okie defense and started to shut them down a bit. The score was 17-14 at halftime in favor of Cincy. The second half was pretty sloppy for them. I picked them off twice (QB threw straight into coverage), my last one to end the game. I forced one fumble, and returned it for a touchdown. I was really happy with my last drive of the game to take the lead. I have read that some people have had issues with the amazing leaping linebackers at the end of games nad ran in to it once. My last drive was very realistic. I had to convert two third and four or so's to keep it going. I ended the game very balanced with just under 100 yards rushing and about 215 yards passing. I was very happy and excited about the way this game played. The final score was 28-23 in my favor. I have yet to try them in dynasty as La. Tech's OC but plan to tonight. Thanks again man.
Also.......I think some people are too worried about thier overall rushing stats. Watching on Saturday's you very rarely see a team pull off 100 yard days on the ground in consecutive weeks. I have always found that running in the game is difficult, but I would honestly rather have it that way. I find that being able to run for 150-200 yards against a team every week takes the joy out of running the ball (gets boring quick). I would rather run the ball 25 times a game with a yards per rush of 3.5 than rush it 10 times and have a yards per rush of 7.0. This makes the game more realistic and often times, at least for me it is more about the quantity of rushes not the quality that counts. often times makes it easier to throw after the first quarter and a half once the CPU crowds the line more and begins to run man.
Thanks, crusader. I agree with you on the running game. I think most people that play NCAA expect 100, 150, 200 yards on the ground in every game and it's just not realistic. Through 9 games, my HB at ULL is averaging 3.6 ypc. Last year, IRL, he averaged 3.3.
People want big stats, Heismans, MNCs, etc and they want them in 7-minute quarters. My sliders are not for those people.
I agree that the safeties seem much more aggressive on outside runs than I remember them being in 11. With ULL, there are no under-center formations so I rarely have any toss plays called.Quote:

For the record, through 9 games my QB has completed 50.7% and has a Passer Rating of 114.4.
IRL, last year this same QB completed 52.9% and had a Passer Rating of 116.8.

I have 10 games in the books with ULL. When I finish the regular season I'll look at my season stats and make changes, as needed, to my slider set.
Feel to 6-5 with a loss at Arkansas State. With a game at Arizona left on the schedule, I smell a 6-6 season upcoming.
