Bob's Sliders for Jbrew's Fatigue off play

[Mizzoutiger]

-I would like to begin by thanking Jbrew. His suggestion to turn fatigue OFF is indeed the key to making this game great. That being said, I wanted to share the sliders that I believe compliment jbrews no fatigue approach and help provide a realistic and fun experience. Take note I am an average skilled player. I love to play with some old time teams (thanks Carl!) so I have included a set of sliders that i find produce more of the defensive run oriented style of past eras. If you try these give them 3 games to see if they are the ones for you.


I have settled upon the following sliders after a lot of games. They work very well for me and I hope they do the same for you!

Offensive Skill Heisman
Defensive Skill Heisman
Injuries On
Fatigue Off
Quarter Length 6
Play Clock On
Game Speed Very Slow
Min Threshold 25
Home Field Advantage Off


Offsides 80
False Start 30
Holding 50
Facemask 5
Offensive Pass Interference 51
Defense Pass Interference 50
KR/PR Interference 5
Clipping 50
Intentional Grounding 77
Roughing the Passer 30
Roughing the Kicker 0

Anyone trying these out, or any slider set/settings, make sure you are trying them out in dynasty mode and not in play now games. Sliders/settings work differently between modes.

If anyone is trying these i would enjoy hearing of your experience. I for one find a significant difference in game play between the modern and old school (less scoring-more defensive) versions. Again, thanks much to Jbrew for his super idea about fatigue off-. This remakes the game for me !

First BIG THANK YOU to Jbrew for the heads up on fatigue off...I know Jbrew runs pretty much default except his preference is to lower the tackling to make it more realistic...that being said, when I wasn't playing my Coach Mode dynasty I ran Jbrews discovery through the paces and he was exactly right, THIS CHANGES THE GAME FOR THE BETTER...my only problem is that since I'm older (cough, 47, cough) my stick skills aren't what they used to be...video games, the other stick works just fine thank you very much...lol...anyways...default with lowered tackling is for those who want an extremely difficult challenge...As Jbrew warned us, it's tough, really tough, you better get used to losing and you better buy a couple extra controllers, cause YOU WILL THROW ONE! Been there done that...

That being said, yes I have tried yours and have ran them through 6 games so far in my year 1 New Mexico dynasty that I previously ran in Coach Mode...GREAT SLIDERS...They provide a really tough challenge, I was down by 14 in game 1 against UTSA and game back to win it. Won the next 3 and they all had variety to them, had to win according to my strength's and play smart because there was a feeling through each game that if I didn't bring my A game, or call a smart game I was going to lose...In games where I played teams that had a better O line than my D line, I was getting steam rolled against the run and had to bring 8 and 9 guys in the box to shut it down and then I would get caught cheating up and blown up for a long pass play...The other thing is that I really felt with these sliders that MY QB played closer to his ratings and real life...Neither myself or the CPU has gotten more the 60% completion percentage and I've had to earn the run game...

Speaking of that, I got absolutely hammered by UNLV game 5, lost by 18 points I believe, because I was used to leaning too heavily on my QB and New Mexico or any other 65 team just shouldn't be able to do that all season long. After a frustrating loss and (3) picks I decided to abandon my custom playbook and run the New Mexico pistol and play to the teams strength in the running game. Bounced back against Nevada and beat them by patiently running from the pistol and making smarter shorter passes. The bottom line of what I'm saying is that I couldn't make my team play outside their game because sliders allowed me to, the sliders played true to real life and I HAD TO MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT.

Good stuff and I will be playing out the season with these sliders. ;-)

PEACE

Man, you're convincing me to really begin running Coach Mode. Great write up!

Glad to hear the sliders work for you!

Hey guys,

I have made a couple of minor adjustments to the sliders--these are now reflected in the opening post.
