    Ok I'm going to significantly reduce the QBA slider on both sides. This will actually help the pass defense without needing to change any coverage sliders defensively.

    I decided to leave Ball Hawk off because of the changes coming to QBA.

    If you are struggling to stop the run on this level feel free to turn on Heat Seeker. I personally don't use it on any level because the CPU needs all the help they can get running the ball.

    That's the primary reason why I can never play any EA football games with user tackling up high.

    I flipped the user running game around. Going to try run block higher with ball security lower because there's absolutely no fumbles by the user offensive players. If running becomes too easy I will then start to reduce the run block slider back down a few notches.

    I should I have an update coming soon for those playing on this level. But again these will be competitive Varsity Sliders which are designed to have the CPU put up a better challenge than the Default Varsity settings. So defense is going to be challenging at times especially if you have a lower rated program.
    I love that you're constantly making adjustments and keeping us updated. I've had time to play a couple of Play Now games with these sliders and I've had two close games, both resulted in losses for me. That's fine because I'm still getting used to things. Any ideas on when the updated settings will be ready? I look forward to them!

      What are the key differences in playing on varsity vs All American? Is it mainly a user preference thing or is it tied to something in the engine?

        It's a little of both

        Varsity is tad easier at default only because the engine or game gives the USER team and added boost up over the CPU at default.

        But you can tweak sliders on both levels to get just about the same difficulty.

        Now heisman level is sort of the opposite of Varsity. The CPU actually gets the boost up and in years past that boost was ridicules at times. Might be different this year as I haven't spent much time on Heisman tbh

          Looks like a lot more offense for the USER.

          One thing I did notice is both teams combined for like 1or 2 penalties

          Not sure about you but I love seeing penalties especially costly ones that hurt drives on both teams.

          I could never go back to days of madden where you could play tons of games and not see any penalties called.

          So I crank them bad boys up on CFB 25

            So far trying a few of the slider sets and turning off the part of my brain that says don't use Varsity difficulty, but these have been great so far.

            Loving this set, against teams I should dominate, I do. Against teams that are evenly matched, it's a close game.

              Do you have the link to the All-American User vs CPU classic passing slider thread? I know you said you were going to move it. Thanks!

                  Really enjoying the Varsity set you have.

                  I've made one change and it seems to get me more realistic results than I'm seeing from others.

                  10 minute quarters and 25 min play clock.

                  On 20 I kept running out of time finding a play and doing my LOS stuff. So this seems like a good trade off IMO.

                    On the positive side of things I think it's good that this level does cause user players some issues on defense lol

                    It's definetly an improved varsity level from what I recalled in NCAA 14
                    Vastly improved my friend.

                    I am also settling in on Varsity now after 75 plus hours testing on AA.

                    Varisty is where it’s at not only for us older chaps but the ratings spread is legitimately better and my god the animations that are unlocked are the best I have ever seen.

                    You will still lose on Varsity to good teams, and the AI is still the same tough adaptive SOB it has been on AA.

                    Great work as always PM.

                      I agree about varsity. Since the patch I’m not getting blasted with top 10 teams by teams with ratings in the 60’s hahaha.

                        Yep agreed, I could basically do w/e on Offense.... However, I did lower CPU React and Pass Defense to 75.... Gonna move that up to 85.

                        And yes, I was def disappointed that only had 1 penalty called.... I used the penalty sliders you had on Varsity USER vs CPU set.

                        Also, didnt like that I had 0 pass rush... Illinois QB had all day to throw at times.

                          I like the varsity level idea. Always have.

                          I created a Pro level slider set for NHL 24 because I could give the cpu a number of slanted numbers but man, I also see the differences between great players and mediocre ones.

                          I’m just diving into this game and am patiently awaiting slider testing and game updates. I read all the comments and follow the threads. Appreciate all of you who put time into this.

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

                                I cleaned up the front page

                                Sorry it took some time. All American Sliders have been removed as noted from this thread. Those sliders will get their separate thread.

                                This evening I'll add the 2nd version of my USER vs USER Varsity set. As mentioned that updated version will scale back offensive sliders on both sides.

                                Just to give a heads up both QB's will be set at QBA 5 on version 2.

                                If you are not that skilled of passer yet with the Revamped passing mechanic then you might want to stay with version 1 setting of 20.

                                User Running Game has also been toned down and you will now need to make a decision in regards to covering up the ball if your trying to run through traffic.

                                Of the two sets it'll be up to you to decide which one best fits your skill set running and passing.

                                For CPU vs CPU I'm extremely close to what I want. I do want to give a shout out to a fellow poster Don Cropper as I've studied his varsity set and really loved that he was on the same path as me for settings.

                                So I'm pretty confident the CPU vs CPU set will be a blast to watch.
