I have been getting really great games with these sliders, my turnovers are way down and my numbers for both sides are about as perfect as I can get them by limiting myself to how I play, so here goes. I also use PM's sliders for NCAA and use the same rules. Like I said, it won't work for everyone, and that's fine, but I suggest at least giving it a chance. 1. No switching guys ever, including kickoffs and punts 2. No using the sprint button ever (offense, defense, and special teams) 3. No using the hit stick and juke stick ever 4. Play as a safety on defense and every play you must start behind the first down line, unless it's goal to go for the CPU, then you start from behind the goal line 5. Only control the receivers after they catch the ball 6. Only one deep ball per half unless it's the last play 7. Only one out route pass play per quarter including corner routes. 8. Only one run outside the tackles per quarter 9. Only one pass to a running back per quarter 10. No running the same play on both offense and defense per possession 11. Only allowed one blitz play on defense per quarter 12. I set my arrow on kickoffs, punts, and field goals and turn away from the TV or close my eyes while I kick it 13. Only one 4th down opportunity to convert per half unless it's the game is on the line and you are out of timeouts (use it wisely) This has helped me tremendously with both games and I win some and lose some. I hope some of you will use this method and hope it helps some enjoy this experience more. Results of my last game: 10 minute quarters Cincinnati (cpu) at Denver (me) Score: 24-13 Offense: 272-264 Rush Yds: 124-131 Pass Yds: 148-133 Turnovers: 0-1 Penalties: 3/15-4/35 TOP: 18:23-21:37 *****Note, there were 3 other fumbles in this game, 2 by me and 1 by the CPU, all were recovered by the same team*****

You pretty much want everyone to play real football on their console? I agree with you, you get the best results. This is how I play.

BTW, PM's sliders are awesome. I didnt even touch the sliders, I love the challenge on defense when they deflect my pass. This allows me to make smarter decisions.

The only thing I've adjusted is I put AI Run Block to 100. I'm now having games where I give up 100 yds rushing.

What the heck kind of rules are these?They aren't even realistic****les 6-12 are unrealistic and would take away heavily from any real strategy.

1-5 I could deal with, 6-12 are just plain ridiculous!

[Vilma]

I've given up 40 points in every game I played these sliders with, time to retire these.

I think it's safe to say to the ai offense doesn't need much help with house rules. They move the ball very good with these sliders in my games.
