Well, I know this game has been out for about 8 months now, but I've recently gotten back into it (PS2), and thought I'd share my settings with everyone. These are providing really good games for me right now, pretty realistic numbers. One game I'll get killed, the next game I'll kill the CPU, and the next game will be really close. Of course, everyone's play styles are different, so my results might not be typical. But please feel free to try them.
First off, a great deal of credit for these sliders MUST go to Jistic and his v.3 All-Star sliders. I took them as a base and tweaked to suit my play style. His are a great set of sliders and I would recommend that everyone try them if they haven't already. Jistic rules. These sliders should really be called "Simp's Jistic's v.3 sliders tweaks".
