jrich83's Sliders

[jrich83]

How goes it? I'm jrich83, and I've been playing again for a couple months after about a 2-year break. I don't think I was ever that good to begin with, and I'm probably still not that good at this game. Anyway, someone asked me for my sliders in a diffrent thread, so I figured I'd post them here for everyone.

If you're looking for a moderate/intermediate challange, these may be for you.

Without further ado, I present to all........

Comments: All you pro's that are looking at these and thinking that they're too easy, I KNOW! I just bumped them up a little, and will be bumping them more as I get better. I will make my edits in different colors for anybody who wants to stick with these sliders.

Penalties
Everything Set To 'ON', and all sliders maxed out! EVERYTHING!!!

NOTE: Even with these all maxed out, and I still don't EVER see Offensive PI, Defensive Holding, or Ineligible Receiver Downfield. The others don't get called that much either. The most common are Defensive PI, and Offensive Holding.

Sliders and Franchise Recap both recently edited!!!

I am using your sliders after about a 3 year break, been playing again about a week. They are working pretty well for me so thank you.

I have noticed setting the game speed to fast is a better reflection of NFL CALIBER SPEED, just my opinion.

The absolute vital slider is the pursuit slider.

Differences from mine to yours:
My human running is a few clicks to the right
My human and cpu catching is few clicks to the left
My human coverage is a little to the left
My human and cpu tackling is only 8 clicks or so from the extreme left
My cpu passing is almost all the way to the right
My cpu running is a few clicks to the right

**Fatigue I cant recall, and this one is confusing me, any input?**

All else the same.

Getting good games and stats, no robo human or cpu qb's, good run games from me and cpu when appropriate.

Confused on the human kicking slider does that adjust how far I kick or just accuracy, have noticed I kick long field goals too easily distance wise, any input?

Thanks as these started me off on the right foot, and I will check this thread for my input and give input if you would like it.

First off, you're welcome. I'm glad to see some input.
As far as the pursuit slider, are you saying I got it or is yours diffrent. My understanding is the slider affects defensive speed. I think it even says that in the in game manual.

Fatigue - I'm not sure if the fuller the slider the faster the players tire, or the opposite. I just edited it down a few clicks. I want them to tire faster, so they go to the sideline for a break more, to let the other players get a chance. We'll see what happens. EDIT: Asked puja and he said - slider more full = tired less, so I think I did the right thing.

Kicker slider - To my knowledge, the slider only affects accuracy. The players KPW rating affects distance. There have been talks in the roster forums that roster makers should take a few points off the KPW rating to be more realistic. It's an ongoing conversation. I'm waiting to see the results of puja's roster vs. the one I'm using now. I'm actually helping puja to finish now. I'm gathering player data for his roster.

Any input is greatly appreciated. I'm still thinking I didn't turn some of them up enough just now, but I don't wanna get crushed. I'm trying to improve myself gradually, so we'll see......

I gotta get a MOD to change the name of the thread now. The sliders aren't so WIMPY now...

EDIT: Forgot to address GAME SPEED - I play on a 360, and when you put FAST it's like crazy super fast IMO, so I go with NORMAL. I've seen other people say that FAST on orig XBOX does not = FAST on a 360......

[simgameonly]

I was saying I think you nailed the pursuit slider right where it is. There is no seperation on default and unreal closing speed with pursuit turned up.

On fatigue I think I saw somewhere to increase subs to play with it under 10 clicks from left or so, will mess with it some.

I think you are right about the kicker's distances think I recall it being discussed on some roster files(puja's maybe?)

The game speed is preference, I am on the 360 also and I admit it is a little quick, maybe it's me being used to Ncaa 09 and self rationalizing lol..

Get you some more feedback soon.

Below is a post summarizing some early results with the sliders I posted above which are similiar to yours.

I just recently got back into 2k5 and I am loving it. A huge thanks to everyone in the 2k community Finn, roster makers, slider makers, sticky thread makers etc...

I played 3 games recently and saw three different scenarios all realistic. In the first I was on the road as the skins at the eagles and they jumped me early and it was an uphill climb. I lost by 10 I think but it was realistic and fun. The next game I was the bills in the snow and wore down the browns for an 11 point win, another good game.

The most recent game was Packers(me) vs Vikes at Lambeau. A great game I pulled out in overtime 24-21. The stats at the end were as follows. Rodgers 65% completion 255 yards 2 tds 0 ints. Gus F. 58% completion 208 yards 1 td 2 int's. Grant 22 att 88 yards 1 fumble. Peterson and Taylor(Peterson injured in 4th qtr) combined for 156 yards(nice!!!!!) 0 fumbles.

I was down towards the end and loving it really exciting during the comeback, along with the overall excitement of getting pounded by Peterson throughout the game.

I pulled the game out and jumped for joy but I didnt need to win to be excited, awesome just awesome.
