Hi all! I am not usually one to post community sliders, but I have researched quite a bit for some Road to Glory sliders and have not found anything. Through much trial-and-error testing, I feel that I may be getting close to a set that I will settle with, and thought it may be helpful for others to see what I have found.
First and foremost, Road to Glory has some inherent problems which slider tweaking cannot fix; i.e. Quarters locked at 5 minutes. However, IMO, the game does play differently in this mode than other modes, so a custom slider set should be used if your gonna try and make a go of the RTG mode. I have played about 12 RTG seasons with an array of differently rated players/teams (although I only played as a QB). About 75% of the games were played on All-American with various slider tweaks. However, several games ago I made the switch to Varsity and it has made such a difference for me! I normally play on AA or Heisman (for all modes), but this year I truly feel the game plays better on the Varsity level with ample slider tweaks to help the CPU be more competitive. It seems that on higher difficulty levels, the CPU plays a bit unrealistically, and seems that more super-human-like plays by the CPU occur. I noticed right away that the CPU defense plays much more realistically on Varsity, with much less warping across the field, super LB, psychic CB. This is not just placebo. There is a very noticeable difference in overall CPU athleticism. I started by using
mkharsh's slider set as a base and made some small tweaks. The sliders I am currently using are as follows (and they are still a work in progress!):
