Yes,

I've never played on any speed but slow. Just a heads up if you gusy are wanting to open up the offense you can reduce threshold down about 5-10 and it'll seperate the speed guys a little more.

Or you can stay at 25 threshold and just boost up the RBA slider to 40. If your playing gun happy passing team and you need those 300-350 yard games just tweak the CPU's coverage a little

This level is very slider friendly and you don't have to be handcuffed to my exact settings.

Remember they are a base set just to get help get you guys in the right direction once you observe game play for a few games you'll know right away what sliders will best your team style or preference on the field.

Just curious but what should recruiting difficulty be set to when using these sliders? Whats the most realistic and challenging?

I can't speak for Playmaker's, but I've been using All-American for the recruiting level and enjoy it. It's challenging yet not crazy hard.

PM or anyone else are you still using the coaching sliders as well. As Im about to start a dynasty not as one team, but playing a couple of the "big" games each week and didn't know if coaching sliders helped all that much.

I have two running backs in the top 50 of rushing. 4 games into the season.... with roughly 450 yards a piece... they are 1 and 2 in 20 yard + runs... with 7 and 4. 3rd place and down have 2 or less.

The biggest concern is while both of these backs are bruiser big backs... they have 0 and 2 for broken tackles... the top 3 teams have 33, 30, and 27.

Is there something that can be done about this?

The yardage and yards per carry are realistic... but it seems I must be getting some huge holes from my line, and not breaking near enough tackles. Maybe if I tone down the run blocking and up the running back ability, I can get more realistic results?

Edit, I tried these, what ya think?
HUM RBA 35
HUM RBL 25
CPU TKL 45

played my first game of my dynasty as Im playing a nationally televised and the game of the week each week in the dynasty...(I'll play as the lower ranked team)

Oregon State defeated TCU 28-7....everything went well for the Beavers except losing James Rodgers on his first punt return of the year for 4 weeks! Jacquizz Rodgers is really good. Sacked Dalton 5 times, TCU scored on their first drive but other than that couldn't get anything going...do the coaching philosophy sliders change anything, or would you suggest changing these?

40-RBA
35-Run Block

or

45-RBA
30-Run

If you lower the CPU's Tackle slider you need to increase their Run Defense to balance it out.
