Analysis:
I loved how this game played in the first quarter, both teams were having trouble running the ball and exchanged short drives of maybe 6 or 7 plays stalling with punts.
I scored right at the end of the first quarter and the 2nd quarter I blew it open but Delhomme connected on a few good passes and found Steve Smith in the end zone before the half. Kasay missed a 33-yard FG that could have made the game 21-13 at the half.
In the third I score another 14 points and Lynch was carving through their D all day. In the early going he had a tough time finding yards but as the game progressed he started finding some holes and broke a ton of tackles.
In the 4th I was up 35-20 when Carolina provided a little drama when they intercepted a pass with about 6 minutes to go and brought it back to the 20 going in. Luckily my defense stopped them on them on a 4th and goal attempt at the 5-yard line. From there I just killed the clock.
Overall:
I'm going to keep playing with these the way they are and see if it was just a good day overall on offense. Carolina's defense I thought was pretty good but not today.
The thing I'm going to watch out for is user rushing (too easy might not be because of the sliders). Other than that these sliders are great, I might push the CPU tackling up or the USER run block down or a combination of both to get a good mix. I'd like to have a game for once that ends around the 20's...
Good set Vaibhavp3!
