JoshC1977's M17 Sliders

[paulb1976]

I have played several games now with the FGP and FGA moved to 100 and have found it a real mixed bag.

Most of the games turn into offensive explosions. I have been averaging 500 yds/ gm with the 49ers, and that isnt about the quality of my team! I think moving these sliders affects the pursuit/ angles of the defense because I am finding it really easy to turn short passes into long touchdowns. Seeing the defense make some really awkward attempts at tackling. My D is doing okay but I am getting a lot more picks, averaging about 3 per game with the 49ers crappy D.

The main positive point is cpu QBs throw a wider variety of passes and accuracy ratings really shine a lot more. Also have seen the cpu miss a few field goals which is nice.

A few weird, perhaps unrelated side affects have been an increase in injuries to my team. I am losing about 2-3 players to injury per game. The cpu not quite as much but still a few here or there. Have also seen a few extreme cases of fumbling, including 8 in one game for me.

Overall I want to really like the field goal settings at 100 but the crazy yard totals and glitchy tackling takes more away from the game than the positives add. Maybe there is a happy medium somewhere a little lower on the field goal sliders.

I made a few adjustments and like what I am seeing for the most part.

FGA- 50
At this setting the pass rush is awesome. Blitzes offer very little time in the pocket as any players that are not accounted for will get to the QB quickly, which is how it should be. at 100 the blocking is too good I think, leaving the QB too long to find an open receiver.

FGP- 100
Makes the passing game look and feel much better in my opinion, QBs move around when they feel pressure.

PP- 85
As Josh said before, this is a defensive pursuit modifier of some sort. At 100 it is a little wonky but at 85 it looks better to me. The running game is tough at times but there is still the ability to gain yards if the blocking is there. What I like about it is you don't get huge holes that lead to automatic 5 yard gains, 4th and inches can be scary due to defensive pursuit.
WORK IN PROGRESS

KOP- 85
I like the coverage a little tighter, QBs still complete passes and will challenge downfield but not every play. I like the feeling that if the blocking is good on a certain play, the defense will have a hard time defending the pass.
WORK IN PROGRESS

Just curious why you left fga at 50 and your seeing all those gameplay changes. In theroy those gameplay affects should already have been there because it was already at 50 before we started testing at 100.

What makes 50 better now? Is it adjusting the other sliders? Just curious..because i have it at 100 and it plays great and i wasnt seeing anything like your seeing before i changed from 50.

You're not too far off where my head is. I was using KOP at 75 and the reactions looked enhanced, but still realistic. I also agree with trying to drop FGA to 50...the line blocking was so good at 100, even with the enhanced PP (my issue though was more in the run game being overpowered than the rush). My question is whether you are still seeing the offline passes when you have FGA dropped back to default?

Personally, I'm pretty much sold on FGP at 100 and KOP at 75. The one thing for the base that I want to do is find a good PP setting that works relative to keeping FGA at 50.

PP enhances the pass rush as well, while FGA affects the effectiveness of the blocking. With a higher PP, you're going to see a better rush. As I said earlier in this post, my biggest issue with 100 FGA is that the run game can somewhat over-powered as blocking is almost too perfect.

Im going to test what you are running on am all default. Im finding that since ive changed the st sliders im going closer to all default as i test it.

I dropped coverage from 90 to 45 on cpu side just for an example and 50 may be where i end up w all of them.

Its crazy that changing this has changed so much. The ai d is so much better (in a good way)

Honestly, I would just go all default and work your way from there.

This is where my head is:

FGP:100
FGA: 50
PP:50-75 (not sure yet..I would favor the high end on am though)
PA: 50
KOP:75

Nice! Thanks for your help.
