I have always played AA with turned up sliders in the past, but like you almost always won the national championship, had the Heisman trophy winner, etc. I stayed away from Heisman level for fear of the over the top play. This year I tried Heisman with toned down sliders and it is turning out good so far. Four games into my Illini dynasty I am 3-1. Along with some predictable blowouts, I had a close win over Ohio State and got trounced by Penn State...which is probably pretty realistic....
