Re: EA's Slider Code for actual player ratings
Another game: South Carolina vs Auburn (Me) - Year 2 of dynasty
South Carolina won 29-26. A few game notes:
1) CPU QB made 5 passes that were 35+ yards. Now, two of them were my fault, because the CPU just killed my zone, and one was a 20 yard pass and I couldn't tackle the WR. However, two of them were 50 yard lob passes that my DB couldn't knock down (I let the CPU control the DB's because they're usually more competent than I am). One of them was a 55 yard throw off the QB's back foot that the WR jumped up to make the catch in double coverage. The other one was a PA Pass where it fooled my D, but the throw was so damn high that my DB tried to knock it down. However, the WR made a one-handed catch, and then took the big hit from my defender head on, shook it off, and took in another 25 yards to the house.
The QB's stats: 21-22, 278 YDS, 3 TDs, 1 INT. This is with the CPU controlling the DB's.
2. My DB's can't knock down passes. See point 1.
3. My WR's can also make the catches that are thrown high and deep. I'll probably turn down my QB accuracy and the CPU's QB accuracy and WR catching by 5%. I may also turn HUM knockdowns up 5%, but the CPU's is fine.
Now for some good things:
1. Game played very defensive for one half. Score was 7-5 SCar. Then they made in 22-5, but I fought back to make it 22-19. Then the PA Pass happened, I came back and scored, and they ran out the clock after I couldn't recover the kick.
2. The impact player for SCar was a BEAST! He was a FS, and he ended up with 3 picks, 3 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 TD. Also had 3 catches for 27 yards. Their RB was an impact player (8 carries, 38 yards), and a WR (5 catches, 89 yards). My impact players also played well.
3. The game still flows very well..but I'm thinking of changing to 5 minute quarters. Considering I never run out the play clock, and the CPU doesn't either, and while the yards won't be as high (probably would be in the high 2's to low 3's), I think the scores will occasionally be lower (out of 10 games, the lowest scoring game was 28-23).
So, I like the sliders, and I encourage everyone to try them. As always, there may be a few minor changes, but these are the best set of sliders for me by far. Good job!
