I have almost finished my slider set for playing but have been frustrated by the CPU blitzes and lack of sticking with a running game. In previous years the coaching sliders only effected simulated statistics. None-the-less I decided to experiment.
Coaching slider default 52 for run/pass team threw the ball ~65% of the time
Coaching slider 0 for run/pass team ran the ball ~70% of the time (was >90% until the forth quarter when behind by 3 touchdowns, then abandoned the run)
Coaching slider 100 run/pass team threw the ball >90% of the time
Defensive aggression slider:
Default 60: Team blitzed almost every down
Aggression 0: Team blitzed 1/5 plays and usually only 1 defender
Aggression 100: Team blitzed every down with multiple defenders
This is monumental. This means that we can actually have teams play like their real counterparts in the NCAA this year. Unfortunately the NCAA team didn't actually set these sliders up for the teams. I am going to try to gather %run for all teams in the NCAA and make slider adjustments for all teams. It would be great if others could help with this. To create this statistic check your favorite teams statistics on Yahoo sports box scores for the 2009 season. Please exclude all non-major school games (i.e. scrub games with backup and run heavy) and divide run attempts by total plays (run + pass attempts).
As an example: University of Louisville 35.8 rush att per game / 65.8 plays per game = 54.4% run plays (for slider 100-54 = 46; which would be the correct setting for the slider; currently set at 53 by default).
I am going to do this for my test opponent team and see if the slider is spot on for % of plays or if it needs a bit more aggressive adjustment.

I did the same thing at work one night. Good Job. Does it affect the recent coaching changes?
