You may also need to add a point or 2 to the awareness to get the QB back to the original Overall rating.

Nice. I'll try some of this out. But as pointed out above, my only fear of messing with Strength is that the QB's will be throwing nothing but rocket passes and we'll see no arcing touch passes.

Also, been awhile since I've looked at this, and just started tinkering around again with college football on the horizon. I'll be updating a couple things on the OP settings. The main "fix" I've decided to reluctantly go with, when it comes to 'Scrambling' QB's for both human and cpu teams, is to edit the Speed, Agility, and Acceleration. Tick the numbers down one by one on all those categories until they turn into a Balanced QB. It really helps in regards to QBs not immediately tucking and running, and running right into the back of the RT and getting sacked 8-10 times a game.

If you see that the human is way higher or lower than the cpu is some areas then you can just adjust the human slider, and vice versa for the cpu. However, I think it is difficult to just go by stats alone when testing sliders because the human player may have a completely different system than what the team actually ran, so going by realistic stats that the team really got is not a very good way to evaluate sliders. I think you have to just go by how it feels and looks and look at stats from similar teams that ran a similar scheme.

I never knew the strength rating affected throwing power since there was a standalone rating for that already. I always figured strength had more to do with giving/receiving blows than anything.

I noticed in the OP that there is listed in the house rules a blurb about accelerated clock. Unless I'm missing it, I don't see an option for that. How do you accomplish that? I know that Madden 22 has a setting specific to both Accelerated Clock and Minimum Play Clock Time so you can limit the amount of plays per game that way, but as far as I can tell NCAA 14 just has an on/off toggle to tell the game whether you want the play clock on or not.

Just had a huge discovery (for me personally, at least) and, having read through your thread a number of times and seeing you discuss USERs watching their defense, you were the first person I thought of.

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere in the thread, but you said it's important that the Main Menu and Dyansty settings are all the same? Does it have an effect if I start a dynasty and change the settings for just that, since my normal settings/sliders are for user playing?

Also, do you know if you have to change the OC/DC playbooks, aggression, and substitutions for each team, or just each team's head coach?

Edit: Also, could someone clarify about the agression sliders? If I want it to be a very aggressive offense, should it be 20/80 or 80/20? I keep seeing mixed responses for this slider haha

Thanks

I just started a new dynasty with North Texas and this was my first game. This is the second time I'm doing coach mode and my first game was a blast. It was an absolute slugfest the entire way. My defense definitely outplayed their rating. One of their touchdowns was a pick six. Next game is against Georgia, so we'll see how that one goes.
