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

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

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!!!

Front page is still the base settings as of now....

There was a recent set posted a few days ago with suggested modifications based off the base set.

That set is what I've been testing for the past few days and it plays really well.

I Should have everything finalized and updated early part of this week.

Great sliders, getting a lot of different results in CPU vs CPU.

I’d like to see more fumbles and interceptions. Any slider adjustment recommendations that can be made to see this happen in the CPU vs CPU set? Thank you

Do you have both Ball Hawk and Heat Seeker Turned On?

Ball hawk is on, heat seeker is off. My cpu vs cpu sliders are the exact same as yours posted on 10/23.

Updated the USER vs CPU Varsity Sliders.

I spent a few day testing out DocTony suggestions and liked his modified CPU passing game setup.

I also scaled back the CPU skill position sliders to equal that of the USER WR's and RB's.

On the Defensive side of the ball I did reduce the PASS DEFENSE SLIDERS for the CPU just a bit. However as mentioned in the Slider Notes I would highly suggest bumping them up to 100 for your Conference Championship games or Playoff Matchups for a more challenging experience.

I've been working on this level for a number of years so if some settings appear too high for you trust me as you get deeper into your Dynasty years your going to want the sliders to hold up long term.

The Adoptive AI makes this level far more competitive than in years past. But the sliders can also be used to modify and enhance CPU abilities to keep it fun and challenging.

For those playing on Heisman level I'll began the process of updating that set soon.

Seeing more interceptions with these changes, thanks. Any cpu vs cpu slider recommendations to increase fumbles?

Ball security is at 40 right now

That's the key slider you want to look at for more fumbles

I'd lower that to about 35 but be careful because you don't want them coughing up the ball 4-5 times per game.

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

I run a lot of cpu vs cpu games with your exact slider setup. I ask about the fumbles bc on 40 I see about one fumble every other game.

With the fumble slider set to zero I see about 10 combined per game, both teams. I’m trying to find something in the middle.

Your tip to help increase interceptions helped. Seeing a few for both teams combined in each game. Before that there were too many games where I wasn’t seeing any.

Kicking accuracy slider is tricky also. On 20 both teams have at least 2 missed extra points a game, and on average one field goal made per team. Put it on 30 and kickers never miss. I’m fine with the misses, but there are a ton of misses

Just some unsolicited feedback on what I’ve seen because my sample size of games played with your cpu vs cpu sliders is pretty big. Again, thank you, these have been great to have

Try this setup for fg's

Power 50 & Accuracy 25

See if the Power will help reduce some of the misses

I'll also tinker a bit with a lower ball security slider. I know initially when the game 1st released I did have it way below 40

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

I’m sorry I meant to ask any new updates since 10/23. If not ok thanks. I was just wondering.
