Actually, I'd say its even moreso for you because if you play as the CB, you can snag 'em all day on default. There's more, but on the whole the sliders are typically there to increase the challenge, not lessen it. Or, at the very least, fix a gameplay issue for those who need stats to be as realistic as possible. So actually, toddlers would want to leave it on default while adults would tune the game with sliders. Like a car I guess. As for difficulty levels.....well not everyone is a stick jockey, and not everyone is up to Heisman. Personally, I like AA. Heisman is frustrating to me, I guess because I suck. Who knows. I'm not sure if you are really looking for an answer or just trying to create a stir but I hope I explained it well enough for you.

That is a very good shot. Yes the point of sliders is to tweak them to get the most realistic game possible, at least for sim guys. If EA and their ratings were perfect and the game was totally realistic there would be no need for OS or NCAA Stratigies. The world would stop spinning and the end would be here. Sliders are great for finding the perfect balance of realism and challenge not to cheat, at least for me. I want to have a tough season with a cupcake team, yet to happen even on heisman diff. If you think that NCAA dev team, or Madden have the most realistic ratings and difficulity levels then good for you, can you pass whatever it is you are smoking cause that is some good $h!t

I guess I could understand a kindergartner, or toddler needing them, but not an adult. Sliders manipulate the game. Theoretically, you could take a team like E. Michigan, and turn them into So Cal. I guess that's the "reasoning". To me, it's a waste. Oh, and another thing.....get rid of the difficulty levels. This is just as bad as the sliders.

Yeah that no sliders thing worked out really well for Madden last year... good times. There is just so much wrong with this statement I don't even know where to begin. ...

You're wrong, and here's why.

Sliders and difficulty levels exist for one reason and one reason only and that is because not everyone is the same. No two people play the same.

Difficulty levels are very general and then sliders fine tune from there.

By saying that there shouldn't be sliders or difficulty levels then you are basically saying that everyone (all 1.5 million+ of us) should be playing at the exact same level.

It only takes a few brain cells to realize how ridiculous that is.

Some people are better at running the ball than others. So, to get a realistic experience those that aren't so good can raise/lower a slider or two so they can get a realistic experience out of the game.

I fail to see what's so hard about this simple concept. Each individual person wants to play the game their way....difficulty levels + working sliders give us that ability for the most part.

So the disc contains a beta again? The full version will be released at the start of the college football season, but only for those that have their consoles on the net, right? FYI I'm online, but what about those that aren't? Oh, and I need a NEW copy of the game AND online access to use a feature that is advertised on the box?

Oh well, I'm sure you'll just blame poor sales on the economy and the game re-sale industry.

If sliders can't be fixed %100, I wish they would just eliminate the facemask and holding penalties - there really is no need for these type of penalties to be included in a video football game. The facemask issue is making this game next to unplayable. Why is there holding penalty at all? We don't control OFF lineman, so get rid of it.

Yeah that's like creating a basketball game and not including fouls. What sense does that make? If it happens in real life, it SHOULD be in the game.

See my friend there are two sides to this logic - you've really nailed the making the game easier part with your condescending little rant. However, you seem to have left out the making the game more difficult side. Unfortunate, but not surprising considering you seem like yet another one of those "if you don't win every game you stink" kind of posters.

Carry on.

Coaches can't control their offensive linemen either?
