Playmakers CFB 26 Varsity Sliders (Hybrid 0 Default set & advanced Difficulty set)

[Playmakers]

Yeah, I'm starting to think Varsity might be the way to go, too.

At the moment it's sitting at 60.

You can stay on AA if that's your preference.

Show me your full set and I can help you adjust

Sure! Much appreciated.

I've heard that AA doesn't nerf or buff the CPU or player like other difficulty settings do. Not sure how true that is, but I'm trying to have players play as close to their ratings as possible.

Facemask: 45 (35) (30) (>took your advice on wrap tackle animations)
Illegal Block in the Back: 99 (>Default seems to have it called maybe once or twice. 99 maybe 3-4 times?
Roughing the Passer: 51 (50) (50 in Play Now, 51 in Dynasty) (>Anything higher than 51 seems to make this one go insane)

Do I need to input these sliders in the main menu then load them from my Dynasty settings page or can I just do it in Dynasty mode?

Not required but I use that method myself to maintain stability

I'm going to test the following for you later tonight. Before I start my CPU vs CPU set

QBA 5
Pass Block 45
WR catch 45
Pass Coverage 70

Just curious again though is the CPU QB still scrambling with that low of a setting?

Appreciate it! Let me know how it goes.

Last game I simmed Houston vs Georgia Tech in the Gator Bowl and saw a few scrambles:
- GT's QB escaped a sack, tucked it and ran for first and goal.
- GT's QB didn't find anything downfield, tucked and ran, but came up short on 3rd, leading to a punt.

Those are the only ones I can think of, though.

I play with CPU QBA at 2 on varsity and I have seen a lot of high level CPU QB scrambles.

These settings are interesting that you guys are using. I don't think I've ever seen the CPU vs CPU gameplay use settings this low for QBA

They must be really accurate this year. This will be the 1st time I've actually had a chance to play CPU vs CPU in this years game.

Playmakers what would you say is the slider that controls how the CPU HB makes/utilize skill moves? is it user Tackling?

Ball security controls it but the tackle slider is like and enhancer/modifier to the moves. It helps to trigger more of the animations and interactions between the runners & defenders.

I've been meaning to ask you. I use classic passing. What do I set the pass lead to?

[Lukeduke78]

I use Ohio State and I know their run D is good but not only allowing 45 yds a game good. I’m just going to start super simming my D on normal using jump to next play. I just can’t seem to get the CPU to run the ball effectively no matter what I do.

For Ohio St try these adjustments

USER Reaction 20
USER Tackle 5

CPU Run Block 95
CPU Ball Security 55

I use that for my Texas defense because I have a lot highly rated defenders.

Medium for classic
small for Revamped

Awesome thanks. So the reaction even works even though the slider says for pass?
