Sliders

[fsuprime]

yea, D. Megget backup RB for UMD had 124 or so on 21 carries with 9 btk's, even the WRs are falling forward for 2 and 3 more yards than normal.

:: shrug :: I guess it's one of those "your mileage may vary" things.

Though he is a Meggett

[fsuprime]

haha

Now that we have played a few weeks with these sliders after the tuning update what are everyone's thoughts? Anything need to be changed?

[psuexv]

Not sure if it was just my kicker or not but the Human Kick accuracy seemed a little off. My Kicker was mid 80s with Kick Power and Accuracy and anything over 30 yards he was tailing off one way or the other and missing. Even on my XPs it would tail at the end and I actually missed 2.

[fsuprime]

sounds like you aren't hitting the stick right

[Escobar]

I noticed you have to hold the stick where you want it to be, because the game still reads it after you let it go from pushing forward.

[JeffHCross]

Yep. The game is even more sensative to reading after the kick this year. Definitely have to hold it.

[psuexv]

Yeah the only thing is I have Duke in our other dynasty and I don't seem to have that problem. I'll have to go into practice mode and play around.

[JeffHCross]

Well, my K was low-to-mid 80s in both KPW and KAC, and I certainly didn't come close to missing any XPs. FGs I certainly pulled some (just ask snoop), but it honestly felt about right.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah I didn't have any issues with kicking as I didn't miss any kicks all season. I could comfortably hit from 48-yards out. That was with a decent kicker..I don't remember his ratings but he left early. This year my kick game is going to hurt bad with two walkons

[psusnoop]

I had an issues with my R stick last year where I always had to aim a little left because it was messing up. I've since bought a new controller and it works just fine. I had this problem with all my kickers though which doesn't seem to be the case as you mentioned it works fine with Duke.

[Papa LoneStar]

Yea....I need to get another controller, too....I have one that has a little "getting stuck" problem with the right thumbstick due to the MASSIVE HOURS I spent playin' College Hoops 2K8

[JeffHCross]

I think I have four controllers now

[JeffHCross]

After the patch and tuner set hit on Tuesday, I'd encourage everyone to try a Play Now game or two against an impressive rushing offense and see what you get ... using our Sliders. The more CPU games I play, the less I like the CPU rushing in our sliders. I know some of you said you saw good CPU rushing last season, but I'm not seeing it at all. Way too many rushes stopped in the backfield, for one.

So, what I'm wondering is how much of that is the 'ineffective' CPU rushing sliders. Hopefully the patch will restore it to decent effect.

[skipwondah33]

I dislike playing the CPU period, there is nothing that can't do against when they really want it.

What is our slider for roughing the passer? The QB hits me late EVERY single time I throw, I'm talking about the ball being gone a good 1.5 second before the hit

[JeffHCross]

I think it's still set at 70. I could certainty stand to see it a little higher. I'm probably guilty of late hits as much as anyone, but never get punished for it.

Played against Iowa, and I wasn't particularly impressed by their running game. Other than a couple plays that caught me out of position, they barely gained anything.

[fsuprime]

i had some plays where the cpu would get their TE in the flat and my LB would be out of bounds he was so far away from him lol, aslo had alot of CPU outs and button hooks where the defender would keep back pedaling about 8 yards. Other than that i did not notice the CPU pass D much affected, if anything it might be better but its hard to tell with WFU and my QB who is 70 overall.

[JeffHCross]

I honestly think we need to completely re-evaluate the sliders at this point. I'm not saying start from scratch, but I'm not sure that continuing forward with the current sliders is a good plan without some heavy evaluation.

I realize that I played a Top 20 team and I have almost no Home Field Advantage (unlike the rest of you), but that was ridiculous. They had quality man and zone defense, whereas I had crap for either down the stretch.

I am working on changes. I am hoping to finish up tonight.
