what's up family? i went to blockbuster yesterday to get this game for 7 bucks...i missed it and wanted to really give it's coach mode a try. well, i started a franchise with the giants (worst team in the game by default rosters). we won the first preseason game 31-10 over the cardinals. i NEED the ability to call audibles primarily because of the running game so i played the 2nd game against the bills as opposed to coaching. i still coach defense though. here are the numbers....i like 'em.

Code:

                         Giants   Bills
score                        22      31

Passing Yards               285     331

Individual
E.Manning (NYG): 12-17, 252 Yds, 2 TD, 1 Int
D.Bledsoe (BUF): 13-29, 331 Yds, 2 TD, 4 Int

R.Dayne (NYG): 14 Att, 49 Yds
T.Henry (BUF): 29 Att, 106 Yds

J.Shockey (NYG): 4 Rec, 138 Yds, TD
A.Toomer (NYG): 4 Rec, 89 Yds, TD
L.Evans (BUF): 5 Rec, 152 Yds, TD

C.Emmons (NYG): 5 Tkl, 2 Ast
L.Milloy (BUF): 10 Tkl, 1 Ast, FR

as some of you know, i like numbers.

i used the difficulty modifier in the crib tally to find out what the modifier was on each difficulty.

rookie: 1.00
pro: 1.25
all-pro: 1.50
legend: 1.75

i don't exactly what the difficulty modifier does because i don't use the crib it it helped me to have something to go by when adjusting my sliders. because all the sliders are even on all-pro you'd that that would be the best difficulty to play on but, if you'll notice, the modifier isn't where it should be if it was the difficulty in the dead center. if it goes from .00-.75, the dead center would be .375 or .38. well, i fiddled around with only adjusting human offensive sliders and cpu defensive sliders because that is what, imo, needed work. i found that 1.38 difficulty modifier that i was looking for and it didn't take me long at all...a matter of changing sliders and going quit > rematch > kickoff > options > crib tally to check the modifier.

i know it's only been 2 games but i like what i've seen.

here are the sliders i'll most likely be using and if these hold up then my copy of ncaa 07, nfl hc and this copy of madden 07 that i WAS about to buy from gamefly can all go to, well, you know where.

Code:

Slider
Human Blocking    32
Human Passing     32
Human Running     32
Human Catching    32
Human Coverage    20
Human Pursuit     20
Human Tackling    20
Human Kicking     20
Human Fatigue     20
  CPU Blocking    20
  CPU Passing     20
  CPU RUnning     20
  CPU Catching    20
  CPU Coverage     8
  CPU Pursuit      8
  CPU Tackling     8
  CPU Kicking     20
  CPU Fatigue     20
       Injury     20
       Fumble     32
Interceptions      8

this gives me that 1.38 difficulty modifier that i crave. i'm playing the browns next.

wasn't the leading rusher in the first game. check him out in the 2nd game. you have to control the backs in this game, i think, to have success rushing. coach mode, to me, isn't running game friendly.

NoleFan · 09-02-2006, 02:42 PM

i can feel it guys. espn 2k5 makes everything that i know about football mean something. i think what i might try is to stay in coach mode...switch out if i need to call and audible...then switch back. it takes about 5 sec to pause, switch and call and audible really quick. i'll let you know.

final preseason game...at home vs. broncos

finished the preseason 3-1

Code:

Rushing Yards              71      164

Broncos
J.Plummer: 14-27, 175 Yds, TD, 2 Int
G.Hearst: 19 Att, 59 Yds, TD
R.Smith: 7 Rec, 81 Yds, TD
J.Lynch: 7 Tkl, 4 AST, 1 Sack, FF

Giants

A.Toomer: 6 Rec, 80 Yds
O.Stoutmire: 6 Tkl, 5 AST
S.Williams: 6 Tkl, AST, PD, Int

i did what i mentioned in the previous post about coming out of coach mode to call audibles and it appeared to work well. Barber was still able to move the ball on the ground and Eli wasn't screwing up because I stink at playing QB. I feel this becoming my primary source of football entertainment.

daflyboys · 09-02-2006, 04:11 PM

Other than some of your INT ratios, you're getting real good numbers. Why not zero out the INT slider? They'll still happen.
