There is alot of room to make these harder. Don't run 4 verticals, but the AI safteties have been giving help over the top on almost every play.

What Penalty settings are you using?

You have been saving this game for years for me. Your sliders are usually spot on within the limits of the game engine and codes. If there is anyone that could fix this madness if possible it's you. This game is so close to being real good, but safety issue is a gamekiller. I don't like having a guarantee when my back is against the wall. Just curious are you a Madden player as well or just ncaa? If these issues continue will you move on to Madden?

Penalty sliders right now are 55 for holding, and offsides, 60 for facemask. None of the other sliders really seem to work. You can put roughing at 55 but may see too many calls.

As far as teams to play....Try playing Minnesota at USC from both sides and Kentucky vs Alabama from Both sides and Kansas vs. Oklahoma from both sides.

This should give you a pretty good idea how an average team fairs against a very good team from both sides.

Thanks man. I have bought Madden the past couple years but don't really play it enough because I found unfixable glaring issues in Madden each year related to how the difficulty level and sliders were set up.

I hate the way Madden sliders are set up but I won't go into it in this thread, but basically Madden has had unfixable issues in the past years, most notably Pass rush and automatic FGs because the special teams sliders are the same for the human and AI.

Anyway, try these sliders and report back. I will beef up the AI offense next, but had to really focus on the defense first. I can guarantee safety play is fixed.

Fistofrages is right. Varsity plays the best and Sliders work the way they are meant to.

I'd suggest doing any and all testing in Dynasty as it's been known for a while that the game plays differently in Dynasty compared to Play Now.

I believed in years past that Play now would play different from dynasty but the diferrences were marginal. The testing I did was in play now, I haven't even entered a dynasty yet.

One other thing I would recoomend is resetting everything related to gameplay and sliders to default backing out so it autosaves it at the default settings and then go back in and make the the slider changes.

Lets all get some games in and postt back the good, the bad, and the ugly. If we work together, I'm positive we can have a servicable set pretty much nailed down beofre the season kicks off.
