Megatron's Heisman Sliders

Megatron’s Heisman Sliders (ver. 1.1)

After months of patches, tuning packs, and testing, I have finally settled upon a set of sliders to start a dynasty with. Special thanks to Fistofrage whom I’ve worked closely with the last few weeks helping him develop his slider set.

These sliders are for players who are looking for challenging, realistic games, but are still a lot of fun to play. As for difficulty, I see these as being a step up from Heisman default. They’re similar to the sliders put together by Fistofrage, but these open up the offense a little and give you a fighting chance against good teams. Also with these sliders, it is less likely that you will get owned by a much weaker team.

I will be starting a season with a new team tomorrow, and I will report back all statistics in an effort to provide you with a good indication of what you can expect to see in games with these sliders. I've already done some testing by playing several games with Kentucky, but these are still a work in progress. After the first season is over, further tweaking of the sliders may be required. Feel free to plug and play with this set, and provide feedback.

House Rules:
1. Use GT: Romancaesar rosters.
2. No run commit.
3. Use aggressive defensive line play.
4. Call FG Return when the CPU goes for extra long FGs.
5. No User Catching
6. On defense, play as the DT, and do not switch. No exceptions.

Gameplay Options
Skill: Heisman
Recruiting: Heisman
Quarter Length: 8 minutes
Game Speed: Normal
Speed Threshold: 45

Penalties
Offsides: 85
False Start: 85
Holding: 55
Facemask: 55
Offensive Pass Interference: 55
Defensive Pass Interference: 55
KR/PR Interference: 85
Clipping: 55
Intentional Grounding: 75
Roughing the Passer: 60
Roughing the Kicker: 60

User Sliders
QB Accuracy: 10
Pass Blocking: 50
WR Catching: 55
RB Ability: 50
Run Blocking: 45
Pass Coverage: 55
Pass Rush: 50
Interceptions: 40
Rush Defense: 40
Tackling: 50
FG Power: 25
FG Accuracy: 15
Punt Power: 40
Punt Accuracy: 10
Kickoff Power: 25

CPU Sliders
QB Accuracy: 10
Pass Blocking: 50
WR Catching: 50
RB Ability: 50
Run Blocking: 70
Pass Coverage: 50
Pass Rush: 60
Interceptions: 35
Rush Defense: 50
Tackling: 50
FG Power: 25
FG Accuracy: 50
Punt Power: 50
Punt Accuracy: 100
Kickoff Power: 40


Notes:
User pass coverage is set at 55 so that playing Zone can be effective. It also helps cut down on the CPU completion percentage and limits RoboQB as much as possible without neutering the offense.

Both the CPU and User rushing games are solid. And both CPU and User passing games are solid. You will still see WR drops, broken tackles, sacks, and pass deflections. I feel the offense is a little more open, but good defenses can still shut you down. You can put up some big numbers passing and running the football against lousy teams, but teams with good defense can and will put the clamps on you.

Good luck!

Re: Megatron's Heisman Sliders

Does anyone have any suggestions on who I should play my dynasty with? I just downloaded the latest rosters from Romancaesar, and it looks like Eastern Michigan, New Mexico, and Western Kentucky are all pretty evenly horrible.

But because of conference affiliation, I think that New Mexico has the roughest slate of games each season. I played a dynasty with a team in the Sun Belt last year, and winning the conference was just too easy. I think I did it in my second season.

New Mexico(69 overall), however, plays in the MWC and has conference games against BYU(85), Air Force(82), Colorado St(75), TCU(92), UNLV(73), Utah(85), Wyoming(73), and San Diego St(76).

4 of these teams are rated over 82, one of which is TCU(92).

So it could take years before I can be competitive in this league - which is what I'm looking for.

Re: Megatron's Heisman Sliders

Hey, I have been trying both AA and Heisman sliders for some weeks now and just cant settle on anyone, some have been challenging then within three games or so it isnt, and yes i have gotten to the strength of the schedule before ditching the sliders, I use Michigan all the time and OSU can only give me fits for a half then i pull away(year 1 of a dynasty). I will try yours out but i was wondering if you can give some feedback on how your games are going with these sliders, likewise I and Im sure other would follow, thanks would be appreciated, and i always appreciate everyone efforts to try and make arcade-ish to simulate-ish. Keep it up.

Re: Megatron's Heisman Sliders

So I went ahead and started my dynasty with New Mexico. I got all the preseason stuff out of the way last night, and I started playing games this morning.

First up, @ Oregon! Oh, brother...

As expected, it was a slaughter... but everything felt pretty normal. Statistics are right in line.

Week 1: Dynasty Mode - New Mexico (me) @ Oregon.

Here are the results:

Score: NM 3 - Oregon 52
First Downs: 12 / 8
Total Offense: 245 yds / 423 yds
Rushes-Yds-TD: 24-54-0 / 17-123-2
Comp-Att-TD: 14-41-0 / 14-25-4
Passing Yds: 191 / 300
3rd Dwn Conv: 3-14(21%) / 4-10(40%)
4th Dwn Conv: 1-4(25%) / 1-1(100%)
Red Zone-TD-FG: 1-0-1(100%) / 4-3-0(75%)
Turnovers: 4 / 0
Fumbles (Lost): 0(0) / 0(0)
Interceptions: 4 / 0
Punts Avg: 3-48.0 / 4-45.5
Penalties-Yds: 2-20 / 3-20
TOP: 22:27 / 9:33
TFL: 5 / 6
Sacks: 0 / 1
Pass Deflections: 0 / 13
Field Goals: 1-2 / 1-1 (CPU kicked a 52 yd FG)
WR Drops: 4 / 3
Pancakes: 0 / 2

New Mexico RBs had 1 broken tackle.
Oregon RBs had 4 broken tackles.

Seeing as how Oregon just scored 70 points on someone in real life, I don't feel so bad!

Hopefully the competition will get a little easier. But trust me, losing big early makes winning down the road so much more enjoyable!

Re: Megatron's Heisman Sliders

These look good. I've tried fistfullofrage heisman sliders but I see a lot of ROBO QB and the CPU running is a bit too powerful. These sliders seem to be on point and seem challenging/rewarding.

Will get back with more thoughts.

Re: Megatron's Heisman Sliders

Week 2: Dynasty Mode - Texas Tech @ New Mexico (me).

A little more balanced game this time. I continue to struggle on the ground against good teams, but Kasey Carriers did muster 85 yards on 23 carries (3.6 avg).

Passing is difficult, as it should be. Texas Tech had a strong pass rush, and they had me flustered all game. I was sacked 4 times, and I had 1 pick.

Here are the results:

Score: Texas Tech 30 - New Mexico 14
First Downs: 22 / 15
Total Offense: 462 yds / 289 yds
Rushes-Yds-TD: 19-74-1 / 28-59-0
Comp-Att-TD: 31-43-2 / 14-31-2
Passing Yds: 388 / 230
3rd Dwn Conv: 2-8(25%) / 3-12(25%)
4th Dwn Conv: 1-1(100%) / 1-2(50%)
Red Zone-TD-FG: 6-3-3(100%) / 2-1-0(50%)
Turnovers: 1 / 1
Fumbles (Lost): 1(1) / 1(0)
Interceptions: 0 / 1
Punts Avg: 2-35.5 / 5-45.4
Penalties-Yds: 6-50 / 6-55
TOP: 12:38 / 19:22
TFL: 10 / 5
Sacks: 4 / 1
Pass Deflections: 5 / 5
Field Goals: 3-3 / 0-0
WR Drops: 1 / 3
Pancakes: 3 / 4

New Mexico RBs had 1 broken tackle.
Texas Tech RBs had 6 broken tackles.

Notes:

I'm loving these sliders so far. Yea, I'm losing, but everything seems to be playing out pretty darn close to reality. Once I get into conference play, I should be able to tough out some wins.

Re: Megatron's Heisman Sliders

In recruiting, I just got my first commit of the season. I picked up the 25th rated FB. Although, its not saying much considering most FBs are 1-star players. But still, they're hard to get because it seems like everyone is recruiting them.

Re: Megatron's Heisman Sliders

Week 3: Dynasty Mode - Utah @ New Mexico (me).

Opened up conference play with Utah. This game was close until the 3rd quarter. It was 10-0 going into the half, but by the end of the 3rd it was over. I just couldn't get anything going on offense. I didn't have a single snap in the red zone. If not for an 83 yard touchdown run in the 4th, I would have been shut out.

Here are the results:

Score: Utah 45 - New Mexico 7
First Downs: 16 / 5
Total Offense: 521 yds / 163 yds
Rushes-Yds-TD: 29-154-2 / 17-97-1
Comp-Att-TD: 23-35-2 / 7-29-0
Passing Yds: 367 / 66
3rd Dwn Conv: 10-16(62%) / 2-10(20%)
4th Dwn Conv: 0-0(0%) / 0-3(0%)
Red Zone-TD-FG: 4-1-1(50%) / 0-0-0(0%)
Turnovers: 2 / 4
Fumbles (Lost): 0(0) / 1(1)
Interceptions: 2 / 3
Punts Avg: 2-44.0 / 4-47.0
Penalties-Yds: 6-50 / 4-33
TOP: 19:00 / 13:00
TFL: 6 / 13
Sacks: 3 / 5
Pass Deflections: 7 / 3
Field Goals: 1-1 / 0-0
WR Drops: 0 / 5
Pancakes: 3 / 0

New Mexico RBs had 0 broken tackles.
Utah RBs had 9 broken tackles.

Notes:

Utah was 10-16 on 3rd down. I simply couldn't get them off the field. On the other side of the ball, the pass rush was too much to overcome. My poor QB was 7-29 for 66 yards, and 3 picks. It didn't help that we had 5 dropped passes in the game.

Looking forward to a more even matchup.
