RINGO'S Average Starter Position Rating Slider Set

[ringo]

This is a project I've been working on and would like the communities input. I used DanSF49's team ranking sliders for many years, but this year I am doing my own set based on the average starter position ratings from the franchise mode, team management, roster break down section. My theory is that teams should play to their strengths "with a little help" from the sliders. Good QB's will be more accurate that middle of the road ones and good pass rush teams will be better than those who struggle at that. Here is how I have the breakdown by slider category to position rating so far.

Passing Sliders
QB Accuracy: QB
Pass Blocking: Offensive Tackle
WR Catching: WR

Rushing Sliders
Broken Tackles: RB
Run Blocking: Offensive Guard
Fumbles: set at 45 across the board

Defensive Passing Sliders
Reaction Time: CB
Interceptions: set at 30 across the board
Pass Rushing: OLB

Defensive Rushing Sliders
Reaction Time: DT
Block Shedding: DE
Tackling: MLB

I'm still working on slider number ranges, so its not complete yet. For passing, rushing and rush defense categories I'm looking at 50-36 and Pass Defense 70-56. I need your imput for assigning positions to the slider category.
Thanks guys.

Nice thought. I did a similar concept for the sliders I'm using.
Reaction Time for rush: DT and MLB, I would use both.

Your Range looks good. Post the numbers you think will work and I will play 3 games and post results.

Overall the game played well, Blitz, X-zone, Man to Man, NOThing stopped the pass O tac of Drew Brees. Getting behind hurt because Vikes had to go to the Air. Running game for Vikes was fantastic.

Stats Look Good, Game played well. Let's have you Play the same two teams and Post your Stats.
Agame.

My game ended 35-34 Vikings. It does seem like the defense wears down in the second half. I'll try a game with a couple of middle of the road teams to see what it looks like. Your stats were very similar to mine for that game.

Ringo.... Team Sliders are coming... working on the ranges over the last few days.

Dan!!! Long time. Look at my ranges in the first post. I'm using incraments of 2 for each of the 8 tiers of 4. If you use incraments of 4 or five the sway from one end to the other is way to much I believe. 2 gives a range of about 14 from best to worst. This game has been tough to measure so far. The key is the pass defense. If it isnt close, everybody is running Texas Tech offense.
