Re: Last-Ditch Effort: Turn Down the Difficulty
Nicely written and good points. I agree with the stance to a degree. But I also think those dice rolls and AI behavior effect way way more than just "your skill".
Another words, I could go into practice mode and call a Cover 2 zone for the defense. Then on offense call the perfect flood the zone bust the cover 2 up the middle post play. Yet with the defenders reacting the moment I press the receivers button they can cover not only the WR running down the side line but that same DB can also immediately "sense" the button press and react quick enough to guard the uncovered post route. So while I agree with what you are getting at. Flawed A.I. is more so to blame for the average complaints around here. Which most of us are grown adults that enjoy video games as a hobby. While we might not be the fastest in reaction times and stick skills we know what is flawed A.I. and how certain plays & schemes should beat other plays and schemes. |

Re: Last-Ditch Effort: Turn Down the Difficulty
Most ppl just wanna use their custom playbooks, or run Oregon's offense properly, or have the defensive players respect momentum and make cuts before changing direction, or at least stop for a flash before turning, just as the offense does. Most ppl want to have a decent representation of the triple option, but not with this game as the player ratings stand now...and here now the only solution to this madness. There are many who toil and scheme in order to make this game work in a better way...see here. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...lay-guide.html
Most buyers of this game are really big on online dynasty. The thrill of playing ppl around the country they've never seen before brings a certain amount of excitement. Can't do that right now, three months on from release. Some ppl just want scramblers to be scramblers and balanced guys to be just that, but alas, some guys in this game choose to be what they are not, either using too little of their abilities, or going beyond the means of what they are capable of. See here...http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-recruits.html Yes my friend some of us just want the game to work as advertised. Losing is fine and getting beat by the CPU is quite alright, but it's not cool when it's 4th and goal at your own 8yrd line and the CPU has driven the ball down the field using no-huddle (glitch free) and your stuck with some BS defense...just because the game ain't working right. So what were you saying about skill?

This is the best post I have ever read on this forum.
Also, the 1995 Huskers are the best team ever. |

Re: Last-Ditch Effort: Turn Down the Difficulty
Great post , and like others, agree with most of it.
I think you are a little harsh though, most people are just looking for a level of realism where they are not consistently blowing out teams of a similar level, where they have a better than even chance of being beaten when they face a stronger opponent on the road, and some smaller chance that an underdog will play above their station and give you a run for their money. The lack of realism doesn't just extend to making the game too hard. I tend to get suspicious of my settings if: - I win several games that I really shouldn't. - I lose several games that I really shouldn't. - Every game ends up really close, regardless of the difference in talent between the two teams. - My Team's stats on offense/defense don't reflect their ability: Say my team has a 65 offense and an 80 on D. I don't expect to be able to move the ball at will consistently on anyone at all. Yet i'd expect to have a chance make some good plays on defense and stay in the game that way against a lot of teams. If my D was consistently letting all comers score at will, i'd think there was something up. If I was averaging 30 points a game with that level of offense, I'd think there was something up. |

Re: Last-Ditch Effort: Turn Down the Difficulty
I understand some of your points, but you're missing something. When players ask for realism they want a challenge. Just because I'm in year 5-6 in my dynasty with a Big Ten team, the SEC should still be a better conference. The fact is blow outs in college do happen when you play weaker opponents, but on this game it can happen when you play better opponents too. I'm a michigan fan, and I can beat Alabama with Michigan. Realisticly this would not happen, Michigan is just not that good. When I was a teenager I had no problem blowing teams out and going undefeated, but I'm a grown man I want to be challenged. The problem is adjusting sliders to create a challenge leads to unnatural plays. 4-5 pancakes per play. This just doesn't happen, in a real football game there might be 1-2 pancakes all game.

Re: Last-Ditch Effort: Turn Down the Difficulty
I love this OP. I've been playing on Varsity since like a 2 weeks after the game came out. I know in the past two versions I've always used All American difficulty so of course I assumed I'd be using that again. But I found it too difficult, turned to Varsity and adjusted the sliders as necessary based on results from games I PLAYED.
I think there may be a place for slider sets but the reality is we all play the game differently so we should all set our sliders differently to accieve the most realistic results. Also to just continue the OP's point most CFB teams (or atleast the ones that go to bowls) probably blow out at least three opponents each season.
