So lets see your sliders your so proud of and what is the difficulty modifier?

well excuse me if i came off to seem like the next great scientist of video game sliders...didnt mean it that way...

so here are my sliders for anyone interested:

HUMAN / CPU

blocking 22 / 27
Passing 32 / 35
running 20 / 26
catching 30 / 40 (independent slider)
pursuit 13 / 18
tackling 18 / 20
coverage 5 / 8
fatigue 30 / 30 (independent slider)

injury 15
fumbles 26
int 0

sub out 80, sub in 95

i dont know the diffuculty modifier, i could check on that tomorrow...i am no near my box, i just grabbed the piece of paper i had my slider values written on...

i still feel the #1 aspect of slider settings is the fatigue value...originally when i began playing the game, i had value at default..then i saw everyone posting there sliders with low fatigue values so i did the same...however, over time, i found that a low fatigue slider value hurts player performances no matter what you set your auto subs to.....i see OL get tired during drives and this would lead to them blocking the air...sure this happens anyway, but with a high fatigue value (meaning the players do not tire as quickly), i find the players skill levels and attributes to be more present...no longer do i have to worry about a great player performing like a bum because of his low stamina rating...the downside, players dont tire like they do in the NFL...but i would much rather have a game that plays well with players not tiring as quickly then a game that has players tiring quickly, causing choppy play.

NOTE****

i raised all QB's in the league CONSISTENCY ratings to improve AI QB play. i did the following:

original rating / points added
90+ / +3
80+ / +5
70+ / +7
0-60 / +10

i dont have to do this but i elected to...

NOTE****

way too many INT's by the HUMAN DEFENSE in this game even with the INT slider set to 0. so i took ONLY my team i was going to start a franchise with and lowered all CB, FS, SS, OLB, MLB CATCH ratings to single digits...again, you dont have to do this...you also cant do it if you are already in a franchise...but this has deff helped me not get as many INTs per game and per season...

enjoy!

Shouldn't computer runnning be at 22 to keep the factor of 40 ?

whoops...sorry about that

EDIT:

HUMAN tackling is 14

why is catching an independent slider?

good question....unfortunately i have no idea...there is 4 offensive sliders and 3 defensive sliders....i guess i ran out of defensive sliders to match up with an offensive slider...for all i know my little scientific theory could be bull donkey...but the game plays so freakin great that i could care less....it seems logical, but beyond that i dont know....some things are just unexplainable i guess.
