You should try playing exhibition and let me know how that goes. I think franchise is too easy and sliders are not working correctly.
    That's interesting. I found this to be opposite. I put in the v3 sliders yesterday and was beating the cpu pretty handily with my Patriots in Play Now games. Then I took them into franchise and promptly lost my first game against the Bills by 14 points. It was the same thing with the v2 sliders. I would win regularly with the Patriots in Exhibition but I started a franchise and was 3-3 after 6 games.

    Whatever the case, whether they are easier or harder, it seems things change when you enter franchise and that's really annoying if it is true. I thought it was all in my head but now that I hear somebody else reporting it I'm starting to wonder.

      You're right bud. It goes either way and there seems to be an issue with sliders when playing franchise and exhibition. This could be a major problem if it ends up being true. I've read a few other people having the same issue.

        606 yards of total offense for the Saints, 483 for the Pats.

        My big issues are human running is too easy. I racked up 190 yards on 28 carries. I turned the break tackle down, but the rushing blocking at 100 makes for gaping hopes.

        CPU passing... they completed 71%-- a bunch of deep pass completes, which was nice, but maybe too many. Every time they had one on one coverage, it was a catch. I know the Pats secondary is sub par, but come on.

        No sacks. I play pretty much exclusively with the FS and I haven't had a whole lot success getting sacks with any version of these sliders, but none this time.

        Biggest issue. CPU fumbles. CPU fumbled 5 times. Two were returned for TDs.

        I'll jump into play now and give these more of a run, but not a great start.
        Agree with the CPU fumbles. I think 50 for fumbles for both (HUM/CPU) is just about perfect.

          How are you guys getting your fumbles? I'm curious because I don't use the strip button during the game and I haven't had more than 1 or 2 max so far.

            I use the hit stick often, I don't use the strip button.

                Sorry..didn't mean to start a false alarm. Me and Bill have been discussing coach mode sliders based off of his regular slider set so he sent me his preliminary coach settings via PM so I could give them a run through. I'm sure he'll have them posted tomorrow.

                  cool, i don`t play coach mode but the way i play (no switching on defense and only playing as QB) make more sense to use the coach sliders set instead of this.

                  IF you want me to test them let me know, and send me a PM.
                  English, is not my first language.

                    GAME REPORT-V3 SLIDERS-REGULAR MODE(NOT COACH MODE)

                    NOTE:
                    When I play regular mode I play normal on offense controlling my QB and taking control of the RB and receivers when they get involved...basically full control. I do use jukes, speed burst, and trucking, so I lowered human Broken Tackles from 51 as they are on Bill's set to 30 and it seems to work great. All my other human sliders are true to v3. On defense I always control a lineman..for the Pats I take Wilfork (by the way this is so much more fun in Madden 10 with the moves mapped to the right stick). If the play goes away from him I don't switch to another defender. Anyways...all my sliders are true to v3 except for what I mentioned. This is just to give you an idea of how I play. On with the motley:

                    I just had a great game. It was game 3 in my Patriots franchise and I was taking my 1-1 record into Foxboro to host the 2-0 Falcons. If I had to give this game a name it would be A Tale Of Two Halves.

                    The first half was the sloppiest played football I've yet to see and I loved it. Why would I love a poorly played half? It's a change of pace. Most of my games with sliders have been mainly offensive affairs with a lot of precision passing by both me and the CPU(but mostly the CPU). Not this first half. Brady and Ryan were both cleanly missing targets. I was literally flinging the ball well past receivers. It didn't seem to make a difference if my feet were planted and the receiver was open. It seemed like I would either throw wide or overthrow. Matt Ryan was not much better. It was so unusual I actually had to go into my slider settings to make sure I didn't accidentally tick something over in the wrong direction. Nope. All sliders were cool. The half featured 4 interceptions. Brady threw 3-Yikes! Ryan threw 1. Brady's lone shining moment didn't even really have a lot to do with him -a screen pass to Randy Moss that went 36 yards for a TD. For Matt Ryan's efforts Atlanta was able to muster 2 field goals. At the end of the half both QBs were hovering around 40% for completions.

                    Score at the half:
                    ATL-6 NE-7

                    The second half came and both quarterbacks must have decided it was time to stop embarrassing themselves. Brady really stepped it up though. All of a sudden the passes that were off target in the first half were finding their way to the receivers. Matt Ryan improved too, but not to the degree of Tom Brady. The half featured 2 TD passes by Brady along with 3 marches up the field that led to field goals. Atlanta scored 2 TDs of their own, one on a 74 yard run by Turner with a 2-pt conversion tacked on. They also added a field goal. Speaking of Turner, I had him bottled up all game. When you look at his stats below consider his 74 yard TD run. Take that away and you will see that NE held him in check all game. This contributed to the ineffectiveness of Matt Ryan.

                    Final Score:
                    ATL-24 NE-30

                      Re: Bill's v3 Realism Sliders

                      I just played a game with the Lions against the Saints to give these a test run.

                      I did not like the sliders.

                      I won 29-14, which seems like a somewhat reasonable score...

                      However, I was up 23-0 in the first quarter. After that, I just kinda messed around, and the computer caught up a little bit. I ran for over 170 yards with Kevin Smith and a 5 YPC. I picked off Brees four times, and held Pierre Thomas to a just around 1 YPC. Maybe it was beginner's luck with the sliders, but I am not impressed. I'll give it one more go around, but after that, I'll have to tune these to my playing style.

                      To be precise, here are the problems

                      1) Too easy to run. I was getting destroyed when needing some pass protection, but then these guys can turn around and open up huge wholes? Uhh... arlight
                      2) Too many picks. Brees is a top flight QB, and against the Lions' secondary, he should have easily picked me apart. He never did. His two TD passes, came on a short pass that was broken for a TD, and a fullback flat pass, after a fumble.
                      3) No penalties for me until the fourth quarter, where I was called for one holding. I guess that's more an EA thing...
                      4) Fast feels unrealistic. I feel like I'm playing an arcade game at times.

                      Those are the only things I can remember. I really want a slider set to work well, but I just haven't found that yet.

                        Re: Bill's v3 Realism Sliders

                        I played 2 games last night with these and both games I had were blowouts. I beat atl with the raiders 41-14 then beat the patriots 48-10 with the dolphins. The pats were down to there third string Qb by the half. Anyways I'll give them another try using a weak team against the colts or something.
                        GO STEELERS!!!

                          I've been destroying the CPU like scoring 50+ points per game. ALthough my team is absolutely insane.

                          So I don't know it these slider sets are easy, or my team is distorting the difficulty.

                          Anybody give me the heads up, on how challenging this is with normal teams?

                            I played almost a half with these last night in coach mode before falling asleep on the couch.

                            The matchup was TEN @ SEA (me). We had a 6-0 and was moving the ball very well while they weren't necessarily so successful. The score was tight though despite them being a better rated team.

                                Just finished lions(me) vs colts. If it wasnt for the 2 int I threw in the endzone it would have been worse. I won in OT 20-17. To me it seems like when you use man coverage and press the receivers the CPU has a hard time passing the ball. I dont know if it is with these sliders or all sliders but I will try someones elses to see if there is a problem or bug.
                                I even put the threshold on 40, giving the faster guys an advantage for the CPU, started a new game but had to quit and I was destroying the Pats 14-0 in the first with the Saints, same thing bump and run coverage, man to man, cpu hard time completing passes. I read somewhere that they made man to man better this year, maybe to good?
