Heisman or all american?

[whippedbyjess]

maybe im just missing something here but why do the majority of people on here seem to play on all american? I would think that all american would be pretty easy for most of you as i'm sure most of you are pretty freaking good at this game. I play on heisman and in my od i usually go 14-0 with a not so good team. I just want more realistic stats and games but i figure if i can win on heisman that all american would be a joke...thoughts?

NCAA 10 was too easy with default sliders.

Most of us here use sliders that work with All-American difficulty.

I do AA because...well I'm not that great on the sticks. I can build a strategy and mess with my opponents head, but when it comes to making crazy play with my thumbs I'm just a little above average. Plus AA doesn't have the "miracle plays" as I call them by the computer. I don't have fun with a game when it starts to frustrate me.

Re: Heisman or all american?

Adjusted sliders on lower levels bring more realistic numbers and more realistic games the Heisman or Heisman with adjusted sliders. I think the reason why is because the developers create the game to flow more like a real game on Varsity. Heisman is just suppose to be challenging, not realistic.

Re: Heisman or all american?

Personally, I can't stand the little cheats that have been programmed into Heisman it seems like that always happen to me. For instance, in one of my dynasties last year in each of the first 5 seasons I didn't throw less than 20 INTs each year. Now, I admit that half of those were probably because of bad choices on my part, but the other half were BS. It would be a LB jumping insanely high in the air, or an DL one hand grabbing a pass while he was being blocked. It could even be a LB/DB grabbing a ball while at the 10 yard line that was intended for a guy a couple yards in the end zone. Don't even get me started on when the CPU would have burst of speed to catch up to me.

Re: Heisman or all american?

I will be using All American difficulty. It isn't perfect, but compared to Heisman difficulty it is very realistic. I tend to get frustrated very easily on Heisman, because it seems like the game is rigged against you at times.

I will be using sliders as well when they become available. I'm not too good at constructing them.

Re: Heisman or all american?

Heisman functions to give you the greatest challenge possible. That means the A.I. for both your players and the other team will do whatever it can to stack the game against you. Usually this comes at the expense of realism, Defensive lineman always jump the snap, linebackers & secondary will springload jump to intercept passes, morphing/speedbursting into positions to make plays, etc.

All-American w/ sliders will give you the best football experience the game itself can offer.

Re: Heisman or all american?

I'm not all that great at the game and I'll probably be sticking with AA. I usually use sliders to make things a little more challenging while keeping the realism.
I just don't have fun on Heisman either, feels cheap.

Re: Heisman or all american?

I try Heisman every year and just end up coming back to All-American. I agree with most people in this thread, Heisman is just to unrealistic and frustrating for me (it should also be noted that I am very average on the sticks, so AA challenges me more than enough with a good slider set).

Re: Heisman or all american?

I roll with AA, I've tried playing on Heisman and it seems no matter what you do the game wants you to lose.

AA until Playmakers' Varsity sliders.

Re: Heisman or all american?

All-American with upped sliders gives me the most realistic experience.

Heisman is too unrealistic. For example, three different defensive backs will tip the pass in the air and then a linebacker with a 42 catch rating will pick the ball off and take it for 6.

I mean, maybe a few times, the entire time I play NCAA11 should I see extraordinary plays like this. But stuff like this happens once a game to me on Heisman...

Re: Heisman or all american?

AA with tweak sliders to the CPU favor in some areas is your best choice.
I did this with madden10 and it worked perfectly.
The thing is u have to take a few weeks to find the right sliders.

Re: Heisman or all american?

in 10 at least, the game just BLATANTLY cheated you on Heisman to the point where it wasn't even fun.

I could compete in 09 but last year it got insane

Re: Heisman or all american?

Because I pretty much love kicking the AI butt on AA settings. Can't go wrong with that.
