Coaching Scheme tells the computer how you want your team handled when you are not actively controlling it (such as in a simmed game or when signing picks and the like if you choose not to).

Joe, are you absolutely sure about this, becuase I could have sworn in last years game, when I made scheme changes, my team played differently. Guess it could have been coincidence though. Are you sure that the scheme doesnt also tell the computer how you want the non-user controlled players to perform during a game? Has anyone experimented with this?

Yep. Absolutely positive. All it does is tell the computer what percent of run plays to use, what percent of pass plays to use, whether to go downfield a lot (aggressive offense), whether to blitz a lot (aggressive defense), and what ratio of starting and back up running back to use.

The sliders for the player positions tell the computer what importance you place on each position in the draft and free agency if you have the game set to cpu controlled roster management. It also tells the computer what type of player you want at each positon (pocket passer, coverage db, etc).

That's all. It doesn't do anything else and I'm not sure why people keep believing it does.

Well that makes perfect sense, thanks for clearing this up for me.

I was dominating through the whole game except for the run,Johnson ended up with 184 yards (can't remember the carries but it wasn't many). The problem was he was breaking tackles that no way in the world he should have,Porter,Foote,and Haggans. I was leading 35-10 going into the fourth,then all of a sudden I couldn't stop them for nothing,this is where Johnson had his big runs,breaking the tackles (sometimes 5!) When the smoke cleared I held on to win 35-32. What I'm going to do later is up my tackle slider by 5 and check it. I'm sorry but I can't imagine a back running up the middle like nobody is there. Will report back later..... Overall.....these sliders are an EXCELLENT base to start from.

Ah, so I'm not alone.

I ONLY control defensive lineman -- that's all, that's it. I'll never control a linebacker or a DB... I can't do it.

david carr was goin 20-22 into the fourth...they were up by like 21...i was the colts, it was unbelievable....i hate seeing too many scores in the 30's...if i could get most of my games in the low 20 range..i would be so happy.....but i think my fault was playin too much 4-3 and 3-4, beccause i wa sjust focused on nto having a running back make a bunch 20plus yard plays...i kept playin d that wya and he would light mme up...for some crazy passes, where even in 3-4 and 4-3 the defense should have made the stop....and the running game, i cant even put my finger on it...i know it sthe colts...but....170 plus overall rushing yard from the texans running back.... -_- ....on less than 20 carries.... -_- ....thats crazy, but i do believe these slider's are the best..because in the fourth when i started switching up my strategy from the earlier qtrs i was stoppin teh run and defended some passes, so im either calling the wrong defense, or just not playin good enuff defense....

thanks again for the slider's

Let me give you some of my defensive play calling percentages...see if you call a defensive game the same way I do. I simply cannot imagine why our defenses are playing so differently. I hate to say it but, unless I am playing under different laws of the universe, I'm not sure you can blame your poor defenses on sliders.

I allow about 3.0 yards per rush and about 6.7 yards per pass with these sliders. The one thing I may adjust (after my season is over) is making user passing a lil more difficult because I am finally figuring out how to pass. EDIT: I may also make the CPU running game a lil better.

Anyway, here's what I call generally...( I ALWAYS match my defensive personnel to the offense...i.e. I always have a number of cornerbacks on the field as the offense does wide receivers).

Cover Two Man
Cover Three Zone
Cover One
Cover Two OLB Blitz
Cover One Robber
Two OLB Blitz

These are my staple plays on 1st and 10 and 2nd and 10. I bump and run about 50% of the time. When I am sure the offense is going to pass, I send at least five guys at the quarterback. Like Dolf, I never control defensive backs. I bump and run on zone plays to fake blitz. I never hitstick in the open field. I rarely press x to tackle. I always try and have at least one guy deeper than the deepest wide receivers. I have great corners and safeties.

I ALWAYS stop after every play reset my brain and THINK about the upcoming play.

I NEVER see my defensive backs just "stand there" and let the wide receivers make these plays. I rarely give up big plays. I control the ball and the clock. The best way to keep your opponent from scoring is to keep his offense off the field. My defenders don't usually bounce off of tackles.
