Jump the snap appears to not be overblown on this level (I don't use it, but the CPU appears to use it less.) I get pretty realistic pancakes. Momentum doesn't get to crazy. I have QBA turned down to 20, this really seems to resolve the long ball, but doesn't make the short game too difficult.

Glad you like em.
I don't like human QBA that low, but if it works for you ... great.

Too bad more people aren't trying these sliders ... the complaints about the game would go way down.

Hey, I'm on Xbox. Do you think these will convert the same from PS2 to Xbox? Like Thom1020, I beat the mess out of Miami with FSU week 1, Struggled with Troy, Played Clemson close and almost lost to Rice. So I said to myself "Self, it's time for a change"

[dave374]

Probably. Xbox and PS2 are the same game engine.

Tried the sliders.....and I must say I'm pretty impressed. I like the flow of the game, and (minus the usual EA crap used to keep games close, IMO) it seemed to play fair. I was FSU at Miami (I didn't finish because of a storm near my house knocking out the power in the 4th quarter with me up 9-7), and it was a typical FSU-UM slugfest. Unlike AA where I was seeing stuff that I knew damn well wasn't right, I felt like mistakes I made were legitimate, and the game made me pay for them. I'm gonna try another game before the night is over, but I like 'em so far.

BTW, I'm on Xbox

I will give these a try. One question...Does playing on Varsity make recruiting and player devolopement easier?

Thanks Dave, I think I am also going to give these a shot. I have really been struggling to find good sliders, and I think it is the momentum that throws everything out of wack.

Dave, I think you may be on to something here. I just played a game with your sliders (XBOX), and it was pretty darn good. I took a couple of even teams and ended up with a nice 17-14 battle.

The momentum does seemed toned down which is the key. In my games on AA, a typical game was a tight battle and a 10-10 tie at halftime. Then one team would go up 17-10, them bam, fumble, super interception, yadda yadda 41-10.

Ofcourse it takes more than 1 game to really make an evaluation, but I am optimistic. Thanks again for sharing.

For the thumb jockey's out there, and the folks who don't play with any "house rules", these will be too easy for you.
