Coach Mode Sliders

[youALREADYknow]

This thread is for those seeking Coach Mode sliders for use in Dynasty or Online Dynasty modes.

A few notes before you dive into the settings/sliders:

1. I personally feel that any mode involving CPU play calling (User/CPU or CPU/CPU) REQUIRES customized Coach Philosophy settings. I have included below (see spoilers) the Run/Pass Offense and Defensive Playcall Aggressive Style sliders that I've been using in my dynasty save files. Set these when you start a new dynasty and you will never have to worry about them again.

2. For those who want a real threat out of triple option and flexbone teams, I've tested playbook selection and am confident in saying that changing Georgia Tech, Navy, and Army to the Option Run playbook will make them play a much more realistic game of football.

So without further ado, the sliders and settings are listed below. Please provide feedback and I'll answer any questions in this thread.

Re: Coach Mode Sliders

Great, I'll post some statistical feedback later tonight or first thing in the morning.

Thanks for sharing.

Re: Coach Mode Sliders

I will be trying these tonight.i have been trying very similar ones.i will post results later

[miamikris]

Re: Coach Mode Sliders

Just wondering about gameplans?do you think its ok to use for coach mode experince?do you use them i'd be very interested in your thoughts on it?

[youALREADYknow]

Re: Coach Mode Sliders

I don't personally use them anymore since I've had some crazy experiences with turnovers and penalties when putting certain settings on Aggressive.

Having said that, I think they are "fair" game as long as you can live with the unexpected effects.

Perhaps we should test these individually to determine how much of an impact they have on the game. What would scare me is finding out that one setting is overpowered in favor of the user and has no drawbacks. Then I'd have to house rule it out of my dynasty.

Edit: I actually do use the Tempo gameplan just for clock management purposes.

Re: Coach Mode Sliders

I can tell you for sure if you use aggressive for blocking you will be able to run and pass protect better.But you have to be willing to live with alot of penalties.which i generally am unwilling to do.I have used the conservative for tackling and it works well i will try out variations later tonight and let you know.Please do the same if you test thanks

Tempo will be the only ones I play with to start with until I get the baseline sliders set. After which, I'll help test the other results.

Re: Coach Mode Sliders

Unfortunately that is something the user must still control. User controls punts, field goals, kickoffs, and I also call fair catches since the AI doesn't handle that.

It would be great for us Coach Mode players if 1-Button Mode had the same gameplay as Regular mode.

Re: Coach Mode Sliders

there were some likes and dislikes.i played with conservative tackling tacking aggressive line play and the rest balanced on def.on offense all balance.Next game i will try all balanced.The fumbles seem crazy i got much more realistic results on one-button mode.Im hoping it was a fluke game or just messed up because of using the gameplan stuff.Otherwise i thought they played well.Auburn run offense was predominately out of the spread so predictably weak.i will give more results later.

The fumbles are exactly what I experienced when I tried to use anything other than Balanced on the gameplan settings.

Re: Coach Mode Sliders

Has anyone noticed the user RB not running to open space? He seems to want to go to North and South to much rather than look for holes and take advantage of angles. The CPU back seemed to do a better job of it even though he was rated lower across the board than my back.
