Its not perfect but it plays well enough for me! I only have stats from CPU vs CPU but have been using these for my coach mode dynasty and they seem to be working really well for that too. I have stats for 12 games in CPU vs CPU so a decent sample size. These games were all tested in Dynasty mode as well.
What you will see and probably not like
-Too many drops. Unfortunately, this is a side effect of not lowering QB accuracy too much. Setting QB accuracy too low made too many quarterbacks incoherent. I will take drops over incoherent QB play every day.
-Frequent QB scrambles. This stems directly from the pass blocking slider, but it helps balance out some of the rushing stats.
-Probably too many fumbles. Most happen when quarterbacks try to take off and run, which feels fairly realistic given the context.
What you will see and like
-Realistic pass completion percentage.
-Natural interceptions from overthrows. These were great to see (unless my team was the one throwing them)
-Realistic stats every game (see below)
-Decent amount of broken tackles. I really like this though because it promotes gang tackling.
-REALISTIC-ISH SACK NUMBERS! You will see some games where it gets out of hand, but nothing like it is on default. I did a quick 5 game test with the default sliders and was sitting around 10 sacks/game.
SLIDER STATS vs 2023 Averages (Haven't done 2024s yet)
Number of games tested: 12
Completion Percentage: 66.3% vs 60.3% IRL
Yds/Rush: 4.0 vs 4.2 IRL
Yds/Pass attempt: 10.2 vs 12.1 IRL (probably a product of a lot of checkdowns)
Yds/Play: 5.4 vs 5.5 IRL
Plays/Game: 145 vs 140 IRL
Points/Game: 49.9 vs 52.8 IRL
Sacks/Game: 5.9 vs around 4 IRL
Interceptions/Game: 1.3 vs 0.7-1.2 IRL
SLIDERS
Skill level: All-American
Quarter Length: 15 minutes
Accelerated Clock: 14
This combination gave me 145 plays/game average. Saw as high as 180 plays and as low as 1224 I made sure to have a good mix of hurry up teams and conservative teams.
Wear & Tear: All default.
XP Sliders: only change QB to 50. Everyone else default
Minimum Speed Threshold: 25
Penalties
Offside: 75
False Start: 80
Holding: 75
Face Mask: 0
DPI: 0
OPI & KCI: ON
Intentional Grounding: OFF
Roughing Passer: 50
Roughing/Running into Kicker: OFF
Illegal Contact: ON
Sliders
QB Accuracy: 25
Pass Blocking: 100
WR Catching: 25
Run Blocking: 75
Ball Security: 35
Pass D reaction: 50
Interceptions: 40
Pass coverage: 60
Tackling: 40
Hope you enjoy them! I won't be making any updates to them because we know how everything gets flipped on its head the moment an update happens. You are more than welcome to use them as a base and adjust as you see fit!
