They developed a lot into the game to customize the difficulty, but there still seems to be a divide btwn strictly ratings, and a challenging contest.

You just hit the nail on the head with that last sentence

Can I use these settings for a flexbone offense? I've played a few games with Georgia Tech and it has been brutal running the ball.

I just finished playing against Miami and ran for 355 yards. I try to play sim, so I will feed my B-Back more than the other players, however, my only gripe is whenever I try to run a FB dive, the defensive line immediately sheds blocks. I think for that position you need someone who is agile enough to get through those mini gaps.

This is kind of my point. It seems that the dive is snuffed every time. I've been able to use the B back give effectively out of the triple option.

I play sim too and after about 5 games I found that I could use the flexbone just fine. I just had to adjust to the dive.

I managed to run for 119 yards with my B-Back against Tennessee. But, how are you adjusting to using the dive? I still get blown up and I have to get his yards through FB option plays

Just curious, I remember one of my biggest gripes with this game was that you see way too many screens/4 verts/draws when the down and distance is long to go. Is this happening on this slider set? Is that something that can only really be removed with custom playbooks?

Unfortunately, that stuff still happens. Just finished a game where the CPU threw a screen on 3rd and 2. The CPU runs only a few pass plays. Stick, Screens, Slants, and four verts.

I don't run straight dives or traps with the B back anymore. I give it to the B back on the triple option and read the d end.I also use Georgia Techs playbook and use the Pistol flexbone sets. Those work better getting the B back involved on dives.
