Coach Mode CFM Human vs CPU Sliders

[tessl]

I looked at your sliders and adopted a very modified version.


qb accuracy - 5

wr catching - 42

interceptions - 20

This fixed the two most obvious problems I saw and the game plays much better. Thank you for the work you did to develop these sliders.

Question - does difficulty matter in coach mode? Does Madden level give the CPU larger advantages?

gonna give this a try. looking forward to playing a game with this set.

Yes, it does. About 25% on each slider.

Will be following this closely as it's really the only way I like to play. Below is the box score from my first Packer pre-season game. I think it went really well besides the too many sacks issue, but that seems to be a game-wide thing. Having backup linemen in for a good portion of the time surely didn't help either. I'll probably do the last 3 pre-season games tonight to see if I run into anything interesting. Good work so far!

8 games since I last touched the sliders. I'm going to take a look at the stats from the last 8 games and see if there's anything out of line. In this game, there were 0 CPU sacks. I was stunned!

Just a couple of tweaks to the sliders for version 7.0. CPU QB accuracy was dropped from 5 to 3 after the CPU completed 67.2% of its passes. The goal here is 61%. In tandem with this, USER pass coverage was moved up from 60 to 62 and USER reaction time was raised from 57 to 60. These 3 sliders are identical between CPU & USER.

CPU pass blocking was raised to 99, although it's likely this will not help much. A patch is likely needed to fix this as more than 6 USER sacks were recorded per game (vs. a goal of 2.5).

In the running game, the user performed close to the goal at 4.35 yds/carry (the goal is 4.2). The CPU was helped by a couple of very long TD runs, but averaged 5.29 over the same span. I've matched the CPU slider of run blocking to that of the USER at 47 (down from 50) and raised the USER tackling slider to 42 (from 37). These sliders now match their counterparts.
