Ok guys I'm back. Sorry been at work from 4 P.M. until midnight last three days
.
I did the games I posted before in Play Now to see how the sliders themselves shaped out. Now I'm testing this within Dynasty since that's the only way you can adjust coaching settings.
My original settings were:
Quarter Length: 9 minutes
Skill Level: Varsity
Everything else on but HFA
OFFENSE
QB Accuracy: 25
Pass Blocking: 50
WR Catching: 50
RB Ability: 50
Run Blocking: 75
DEFENSE
Awareness: 50
Knockdowns: 99
Interceptions: 0
Break Block: 25
Tackling: 25
SPECIAL TEAMS
Field Goal Length: 0
FG Accuracy: 0
Punt Length: 99
Punt Accuracy: 0
Kickoff Length: 75
All Penalties Maxed except Unsportsmanlike which is zero
These are the settings that worked best for me in NCAA 07 and I'm in the process of getting them to work in NCAA 08.
The problem I ran in to were a high number of tackles for loss, which was a continuing pattern. Thankfully, offensive balance and QB efficiency, which is usually the toughest nut to crack, were both good. Now I've got to figure out how to get the offense to not get sacked or hit in the backfield on runs as much.
What I'm doing now is setting max offensive conservatism. This should help because the offensive A.I. was extremely urgent and almost desperate in how it played. That might explain how chaotic the games were to watch. I had the offense set to max conservative in 07 but I wanted to see if EA tweaked the A.I. before I made that adjustment. Hopefully this creates more stable gameplay.
