Yes, I am going to update them to a base all 50's like we were doing with some minor tweaks.

Use whatever you want with the kicking.

Fist - I forgot to mention the interception sliders. I feel the best setting is probably going to be either 40 or 45. At 50 the CPU was constantly throwing picks when I brought heat on a blitz. I think the Arkansas QB threw 5 picks last night.

Alright, lets go 40 on the Int and see if we get any.

OK, so I played about 3 games tonight. Pretty much even teams each time. I played as Notre Dame on the road against Miami. I played as Arkansas on the road against Virginia Tech, and I played as Tennessee on the road against Iowa.

I pretty much got blown out each game. I have to say, these are hard, and I like it! I think playing on the road is much harder. I may try playing some home games against slightly weaker teams tomorrow to see how that works out.

Some re-occurring items that happened over the course of the 3 games. Penalties - too many! Iowa had 10 penalties for 117 yards in my last game. We need to tone those down. I also threw a boatload of picks. I think we may need to drop the int slider down to 45 for the cpu.

Other than that, I love this set so far. Great offense by the CPU. Very challenging. But I need to play some home games and some weaker teams to get an idea of how they work in other scenarios.

Here are the stats from the Tennessee Iowa game:

Score: Tennessee(me) 21 - Iowa 35
First Downs: 12 / 17
Total Offense: 244 yds / 337 yds
Rushes-Yds-TD: 23-65-1 / 43-113-2
Comp-Att-TD: 15-32-1 / 18-24-3
Passing Yds: 179 / 224
3rd Dwn Conv: 3-9(33%) / 11-16(68%)
4th Dwn Conv: 1-3(33%) / 0-0(0%)
Red Zone-TD-FG: 2-2-0(100%) / 5-5-0(100%)
Turnovers: 5 / 1
Fumbles (Lost): 1(1) / 0(0)
Interceptions: 4 / 1
Punts Avg: 4-42.3 / 5-41.2
Penalties-Yds: 6-51 / 10-117
TOP: 15:54 / 20:06
TFL: 12 / 6
Sacks: 4 / 2
Pass Deflections: 1 / 11
Field Goals: 0-1 / 0-0 (I missed a 47 yd FG)
WR Drops: 2 / 0
Pancakes: 3 / 0
Broken Tackles: 0 / 0

Analysis: These stats are pretty typical of all 3 games, really. As I said before, only beef I really have is with the penalties. Way too many for me to sustain drives. I ended up in 3rd and long WAAY to often, leading to interceptions. We'll see how I do tomorrow against lesser competition, and maybe playing a few games at home.

Lets drop the holding penalty down by 2 clicks and drop the AI Int slider to 45.

Have you had a chance to play much with the sliders the way they are now? How are your games going?

I also think we should drop the facemask slider by 2 as well. I saw 4/5 of those each game as well.

I will get some in tonight, I was actually playing around with AA last night seeing if I could get any fumbles or shed some insight.

***Actually had some pretty decent games, but didn't see much change in the fumbles.

try putting you run ability at 45 for both and run blocking at 65 or maybe 60. The blocking looks really good and you have to find your lanes and look for openings. Even the fullback seems to pick up some blocks. Just a thought
