I STAND CORRECTED ON SLIDERS.
 

Guys, i stand corrected. Looks like the default is the way to go. Here is my game stats. Running game good and Passing good. These are HALFTIME stats. This game is in "Career Mode" 15 minute quarters.

Oh, i kept QB at 50/50 but i raised int to 55/55. It help with the defense swating down balls.

HALFTIME STATS

I am also going back to default settings. Playing the actual game and watching the CPU is completely different(so don't judge it like that). I like what I am seeing. Even set all Penalties to default just to see if it didn't put something out of whack.

Re: I STAND CORRECTED ON SLIDERS.
 

Curiosity, with QB Accuracy at 50 and WR Catch at 50, how is the passing game looking? I guess Im really hesitant to move this from 0/0 for both since Alex Smith is dominating as it is and I dont want it to become easier. To be more specific, are you seeing errant throws from the CPU at 50/50 for QB Accuracy?

Re: I STAND CORRECTED ON SLIDERS.
 

I'm loving this game again.

K. Collins came into the game and is struggling. With the int up it helps with the DB going for the ball and they swat it. This is what i was seeing when testing the "0" sliders.

K. Collins is (2 of 8 for 41yds / 1 int / 25%) in the 3rd quarter.

i'll post the rest of this game. It's my 2nd preseason game.

Re: I STAND CORRECTED ON SLIDERS.
 

I am also pretty much using default sliders. The only thing I changed was run blocking for me and CPU to 55 and dropped the tackling for both to 45. That seemed to help the running game to get realistic stats. I also boosted the CPU defense awareness to 60 cuz I was getting Robo QB stats with my qb, Jamarcus Russell.

Re: I STAND CORRECTED ON SLIDERS.
 

i think you've let "magical sliders" overcome everything else in your head..

you went from "0 sliders" spending all that time.. back to default and "loving the game again"? default isn't the answer.. it's too heavily pass-oriented

and soon will find out, you need to re-twink sliders yet again

look, here are baseline sliders that is a MUST, I'll help you out some here and let you figure the rest out based on how your games end up going in your carreer.. not 1 or two of the same games, keep playing and HC will unfold for you whether or not you "got it right"

Offense: (believe me, it wont hurt your game any and you cannot leave it at 50)
QB = 0
WR = 0

Defense:
AWR = 100 (absolute must)
KD = 100 (Again, a must)
Break Blocks = 40 (lower it a bit to help make running better without making other settings wack)

ST:
FG POWER = 90
FG Acc = 40

:) enjoy.. heck, you can leave the rest at 50 if you want but really.. you need to tweak INT/Run Block/RBA, tweak those to your liking and you're gold

Tom:

Thanks, but i'm fine with the sliders i posted above.

Maybe next time.

Re: I STAND CORRECTED ON SLIDERS.
 

I appreciate you trying to help but this is a thread more designed for feedback about default sliders and I would say your sliders are anything but default. Secondly, Im not sure if its meant this way but you come off as if you think you know it all, and to be honest, Ive used sliders very similar to the ones you keep posting about and gotten either the same results Im getting now or worse. Dont forget, there are a lot of variables at play here, so what might work for you wont for me and vice versa, so unlike other sports games, there doesnt seem that there will be that magical set of sliders that will solve the problems for everyone.

EDIT- Clearly I thought I was in one thread when I was in another so ignore that first sentence in my above posting. I thought I was in the Default Sliders thread that I started yesterday, not the one Claystone had started today.
