Been awhile but I finally made some updates to the CPU vs CPU Gameplay. Old settings didn't seem to play well at all after the title/patch updates.

So quite a few changes were made to original version

Recent changes include the following:

QBA reduced down from 40 to 20

Pass Block increased up from 50 to 60

WR Catch increased up from 40 to 60

Run Block increased up from 10 to 45

Pass Coverage increased up from 40 to 45

Interception increased up from 15 to 25

Tackle increased up from 10 to 20

Yes

Re: Playmakers Varsity Level Sliders (USER vs CPU & CPU vs CPU)

Hey playmakers do you know when you'll have a varsity update for user vs cpu?

Re: Playmakers Varsity Level Sliders (USER vs CPU & CPU vs CPU)

I'm really liking these sliders, but user QB accuracy and WR catching need to be bumped up. I've played 6 games and averaging about 48% completion percentage and about 8 drops total per game which is obviously part of the reason for my low completion percentage. Every time a receiver gets bumped by a defender right after a catch, they drop it every time. That's just not realistic.

This will be looked into

As mentioned with AA set I do plan on working all levels again

Thanks for the input

Re: Playmakers Varsity Level Sliders (USER vs CPU & CPU vs CPU)

Used these as a base. They are very solid. I had to make some changes because I’m not as good and it took the fun out of it. But I’m enjoying this game with what little time I have to play it. Thank you!

Adjusted CPU “Interceptions” to 50

[Playmakers]

Re: Playmakers Varsity Level Sliders (USER vs CPU & CPU vs CPU)

Adjusted CPU “Interceptions” to 50

Thanks for sharing

That slider on varsity level helps to keep coverage tighter. I know it can get out of control on higher levels if you increase it too high but on Varsity level you can definitely play it a little higher.

Anything under 50 and the CPU seems to play way to conservative in pass coverage

So, do we have a consensus for sliders - Varsity level - low tier Dynasty with me & 2 other buddies - Sam Houston, Temple & GA Southern - I've seen a few variations, just want to get the latest - also, we are usually under 10Qtrs, do u recommend bumping that to 10 & above? Thanks for all the work / testing all!!!

Re: Playmakers Varsity Level Sliders (USER vs CPU & CPU vs CPU)

Hey playmakers! I was wondering which difficulty is the most realistic for cpu vs cpu. I know you use varsity but other people says all American is the most realistic but I want to hear it from you which one is most realistic. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Well based on previous feedback from EA I think they said All Pro in Madden represents true player ratings. I know that is a totally separate game from NCAA

But in my years of testing and observing gameplay I've always felt the player ratings on Varsity and Pro level have always stood out more for CPU vs CPU games.

I believe it was khalib that used to do those under the hood ratings threads and compare the variables. His findings were really informative and the lower levels always seemed provide a more equal outcome.

I don't have his older threads saved but I'd definetly recommend if you can go back and read his findings.
