I have been working on sliders and my test games for CPU passing has been against USC. During all of my tests Matt Barkley was playing horrible and i kept trying everything to make him play like a semblance of himself. But after my 19th game i decided to look at Lane Kiffin's philosophy.
The problem was plain and simple, LOWER THE COACHES AGGRESSIVE SLIDERS. This slider out of the box for USC was 75 and all game long the Trojans would just run 4 verticals and he would sit in the pocket and chuck up a bad throw. The aggressive slider is the home run slider aka the big play slider, it measures how much a coach wants the big play. AT 75 he would want a deep throw about every 2 plays and it makes USC very beatable and boring to play against. I put it at 50 and I'm seeing a very different Matt Barkley. Now i see more short and intermediate passes and no more hail marry's, this alone can make the CPU passing game unstoppable and can alter how hard it is to beat ranked teams. In dynasty when i play Nebraska, i shrug it off since i know Taylor Martinez will be a none factor and i bump up the CPU's run game to compensate for the lack of challenge the A.I passing has to offer. Lowering this even further will make the A.I throw nothing but short passes for 5 yards and will make them pretty predictable. 40-60 aggression is would i would work within, any higher or lower will create repetitive Hail Marry's or slant and drag throws all game.
And maybe this slider will reduce screens from the CPU since screens may fall in the big play category, that i don't know.
I may make a roster edit for the top 25 teams, to many things are out of whack with the offenses and defenses. Oregon's option run game stinks and Top tier QB's are brain dead because of their coaches aggressive slider. Ohio state has a 50/50 pass run slider when Urban Meyer is a spread run heavy guy. GT should run damn near every play and Houston should be letting it fly 8/10 plays. The coaching sliders should be viewed just as important as game sliders because it determines the flow of the game and i rather have Matt Barkley ripping me rather then going 15/25 every game because of a stupid little slider.
