Penalty Slider impact on Gameplay in NCAA 14 - Slider Set included

[Big FN Deal]

I am completely blown away reading this thread and just shocked that EA football games work so bizarrely under the hood. I ask the OP and others knowledgeable about sliders to please check if this is still the case with M25 on the new consoles, when it is released. Reason being, that will be a great indicator to whether PS4/Xbox1 Madden is fundamentally different or just more of the same bad coding/programming.

Really good info here and it is tempting me to keep all penalty sliders in the 50-55 range. I would rather sacrifice penalties for a more realistic game experience with a good slider set than have the penalty sliders screw things up.

OP updated. I am going to run with RtK at 0 as it seems to make an impact on running the ball. Also made some adjustments for QB Acc and OPI/DPI to tighten up the passing game.

Understandable....but the flip side is that knowing this, we can use the penalty sliders (which don't work anyways) to our advantage to tweak the gameplay.

I have been able to get a few to work so far:

Offsides - 35
False Start - 25
Facemask - 67
Clipping - 64
Roughing the Passer - 58 - too many at 58, going to 57
Finally a holding call - 68, going to 69

Test out coaching sliders also with close to even balance unless a team like G.T OR Navy.. Good Stuff here also

Um, blown away by this thread.

I'm sitting in my office waiting for a client to call me and trying so hard not to run upstairs to start messing with this stuff.

At least I know what I'll be doing at 6pm.

Thanks for this and I'll give an update on what I can see/feel once I start messing around with the penalty sliders.

Is there a difference in this when you play AA as opposed to Heisman?

Great point
