I've only seen the slow game speed setting apply for FPF, but otherwise people have even done the Fast setting for more realism (I used to, but due to responsiveness issues of today's LCD's versus yesterday's CRT's I'm refraining).

Some things look similar to what I have though, so now I just have to find the right balance I need in the end.

What other differences from these to the one's that you play with are there? Please give these a try and let me know your thoughts.

Updated the first post with tweaks made to the sliders. CPU and HUM pursuit feels just right at 10. Less aggressive, but aggressive enough. Players will turn on a dime better and taking angles seems just right. Less mishaps on pursuit. CPU Coverage to 35 is a welcome change. You will still need to make a perfect bullet pass or lob pass. Ratings of the players matter!

Changes:

HUM Pursuit: Down to 10
CPU Coverage: Down to 35
CPU Pursuit: Down to 10
CPU Kicking: Down to 0

Re: ESPN NFL2K5 2020 Primetime sliders

One last change that I've settled on is CPU blocking down to 15. Getting more pressure on the CPU QB. Nice to see the CPU have to scramble for their life or throw errant passes a lot more than before. CPU will still bust off long runs and find the holes with ease.

Changes:

CPU Blocking: Down to 15

I know this thread is kinda dead but I wanted to say I really dig this set. I use an edited roster instead of default but haven't seen anything weird in 15 games, so if you didn't know they'd work with edited rosters, they do.

Thank you very much. That's awesome that edited rosters work with these sliders! Nice to see lots of people trying these out and hopefully playing their franchise with them.

When I adjust sliders I don't see numbers. It's just slider adjustment.

You gotta count it out, so move the slider all the way to the left (0) then move to the right by 1 until you hit whatever number it's supposed to be

These are the best sliders I've ever played with in this game. I've been playing it since 2004-05 pretty much when it came out, or shortly after. I used bills sliders for years but eventually it got to the point where I couldn't lose especially when doing FPF, Which is one of my favorite modes to play in.

I've made a few changes since playing with your sliders I probably played about 80 games. I've been sharing your sliders too with people who for whatever reason stopped playing the game long ago due to a poor slider experience. I know I bumped CPU kicking up to 10 because I was seeing too many misses by the CPU even by great kickers but the bad ones still miss somewhat regularly still testing it aiming for the league average of 84%.

I upped the blocking sliders both user and CPU as well which I found made it so both teams would allow less sacks. Player ratings still mattered and a bad offensive line would give up a lot more sacks whereas a good one would only give up 1-2 per game maximum and sometimes not at all.

I edited some other sections too I'd have to compare mine to yours to figure out exactly what the comparisons are.
