CHANGES IN BOLD
While I may not be known in the slider community, I have been playing NCAA games for as far as I can remember. I never really played around with the sliders until I joined OS a long time ago. Ever since then, I was never able to focus on the game, and instead I would just mess around with every slider set trying to find the right one. I never was able to get into a dynasty because I was always trying better sliders. I believe they call this slider-itis. I have a severe case.
Fast forward to NCAA 14. I was excited about this one because I could actually invest some time into it. As soon as I picked it up, to OS I went looking for a good slider set. Like everyone else, I've run into the problem of not being able to be stopped on offense...and not being able to stop the CPU on defense. I've literally tried every single set on here, and all of them end up being way too easy. I can pass my way through ever single set and score a touchdown every drive. So.....I came up with my own set. I know most of these slider sets from the 'unknown' rarely get tried, but I encourage people to try these.

Sliders (USER/CPU)
QB Accuracy: 50/50 -- Plays true to ratings
Pass Blocking: 30/40 -- more pressure, more errant throws
WR Catching: 30/35 -- realistic drops
RB Ability: 45/65
Run Blocking: 0/50
Pass Coverage: 15/15
Interceptions: 30/30 -- still see realistic number of picks
Rush Defense: 35/60
Tackling: 45/45 -- no BS broken tackles
Special Team Sliders are pretty much user preference, but I suggest lowering Human FG Accuracy to 0. It's just too easy to make FG's.
Auto Subs are also user preference.
Hopefully people will try these. I really just don't feel any challenge from any of the other sets on here. On all of them, passing is just too easy. I don't like the 95 threshold because I think you will see LB's catch up to RB's. I like being forced to punt on a three and out. It feels GOOD. It feels like football. No more dilly dallying down the field with slants every play. You need to run a good offense and player solid user D to win games.
So please, if other sets are too easy for you, just give these a try. One more game won't hurt anybody!
