To play on Varsity (and quite a few here do) those guys have to tweak sliders like crazy to give the cpu a chance. What is balanced about that? How do massive slider changes indicate players play to their ratings more? You can do the same thing on Heisman to give the user an advantage (instead of the cpu on Varsity) and have the game play very similar. I've tried all three levels in the past. In NCAA '09 I gave Varsity, AA and Heisman all a fair shake and the truth is you can make all three levels play very similar with slider tweaks. Each level might have a few distinct differences but they really aren't that big. Whatever level people want to play on is fine. It's all user preference.

Good post, Rudy. I agree with you about AA being the most balanced. Heisman is better this year and does play truer to the ratings than it has in the past, but there is still some CPU cheapness going on that after awhile, is hard to overlook ... at least on the default settings.
