JoshC1977's M17 Sliders

[picker19]

General question to all of you...have you had the following experience? You make edits to your profile or whatever (let's say matching Josh's OP), and you play a game. It plays great. Stats and game play seem right. You get your hopes up. You save your CFM, come back later on and play the next game in your CFM, and suddenly, everything is different. Suddenly, the Madden BS comes back with ridiculous accurate QBs or whatever it is that drives you crazy. You think it's just a fluke. But the next game is more of the same. And the next game after that. It's like that first awesome game you played never existed, and you have no idea how to get it back, because the freakin' settings ARE EXACTLY THE SAME!

I just want to know if I'm the only one who's losing my mind about this. I have been testing variances of Josh's OP for around a week now, and every time I make a change, I have a good game, and then all the following games play like crap and I want to throw the controller. Am I alone here?

With the OP set now using default xp sliders again, are you still simming the weekly training or doing the "play it once and stick to that medal for the season thing" ?

Never ever assess on the first game. I typically do the following to get a truer sense of how the tweaks are working:
1. Start game after making changes.
2. Exit game. Immediately go into the game select screen where you change uniforms. Do not start the game. The game will automate your CFM and profile. I believe that profile save is 'locking' the sliders in place.
3. Exit all the way back to the main menu. Then enter your CFM and play game as normal.

I ONLY do this after adjusting a setting...

It might be placebo, but I don't think so. Sometimes I don't do this after changing something and see warping or weird suction blocks. I exit the game and do this process...when I restart afterwards, I don't see it again.

Hope this helps.

Personal preference, but I just sim it...

Thanks, Josh. I actually always do #1 and #2 above for those same reasons. Never did #3 though. I will try that next time.

I generally see between 8-10 total per game.

I cannot say this enough, it is not placebo, follow these steps if making any settings changes in existing cfms. see my game results in previous post. Realize my Defensive backfield consists of Norman, Trufant, Berry, and Neal. we] shall see if my top 10 D holds up. I forced 2 fumbles and 2 INT (norman and Collins pick 6). Panthers forced fumble on Ryan sack inside my 20, how they got TD. I forced FG's as well as they did. Nothing but FG's in 2nd half beside my pick 6.
