Generic Editor with NCAA 14

Re: Generic Editor with NCAA 14

Glad to see that you're continuing the quest. Which ratings are you identifying as "next gen"? Are they all Profile ratings, or are some of them in Rosters?

Rosters - Remember back in the day it was simply SPD,ACC, STR, AWR, AGI, CAR, CATCH, THP, THA, TAK, RBK, PBK, INJ, STA.

Last night I ran a couple of CPU v CPU games, all sliders except special teams maxed out at 100, Freshman settings. I really can't tell a difference between those settings and others I tried. The QB's both completed about 75% which was high, but I still saw poor throws. I think I could lower THA to close to a QB's real life completion percentage, and have more realistic results. I really wish EA would tell us exactly how sliders impact the gameplay.

on ncaa12 throw ac down 20 had minimal affect throw power down 20 had an extreme affect on passes(under and over throws)

You may have to play around with auto subs in order for them to coincide with my stamina ratings.

Are your sub settings at default?

Na I have the majority of them around 70/75-76.

I just uploaded my roster. Tdawg yeah I have spin move turned up and still haven't seen ONE spin move. Maybe it's because all the moves are tied to the right stick now. I don't know.

It probably has more to do with the effectiveness of the spin rather then the likelihood of the spin. Maybe jack up a players spin move to 127 and see what happens? Probably not worth it just to see a spin move but just a thought.

Also since im sure you're gonna run a dynasty with you rosters do you plan on making the same edits to the recruit class each year? Id love to check out your scale on how you adjusted certain ratings and why.

Last thing I promise lol. What profile edits have you made? Thanks bro.

Great roster! But every team I play is running the single wing offense? and teams aren't in hurry up, that usually run it like Oklahoma or Oregon?

Yeah I'm wondering if something I did when I made adjustments to coach philosophy reset the play books to multiple and no huddle to conservative? I'm gonna have to manually change that.

I'm definitely gonna edit the recruits to coincide with the roster. It shouldn't be hard to do at all.

As for my ratings scale...

QB Throw Accuracy- I tested this theory in 13 to lower the individual throw accuracy rating and leave the slider alone. I started at 0 to see how effective the rating actually was and it was POWERFUL. At zero the QB couldn't complete anything. So I worked my way up until I got to a range where I could separate the elite QB from the mediocre. This rating allows that because a QB is no good if he can't throw. I may have to add +10 to ACC because I was playing SC last night and Connor Shaw started off like 0-8 and they weren't close even on the easy one's. So the rating may be a little more powerful in 14 than 13 which is good.

Stamina- same thing basically. It was something I tested on 13 because I wanted stamina to have an effect on the game plus I wanted to see more subs. The thing is you have to play with the auto sub to coincide with the stamina ratings.

Running Back Specific Tendencies- I wanted power backs to primarily do power moves and speed backs make speed back moves. However the tendency move ratings don't seem as responsive as last year...and again I don't know if its because they revamped the running game making cutting and planting more natural with the left stick and then all the moves tied to the right stick or what. But it seems when it comes to the AI the move they use more than any other is the stiff arm. But now I do have a vid of Black Mamba juking this defender out of his socks that I have to post lol! So I'm a keep working at the running game.

Agility for OL and DL- I wanted to see separation in that area when it came to skill position players and the big uglies. So taking off 30 worked well for me.

As for the profile edits, all penalties are at 50 execpt off/def PI and PI Threshold. Those are maxed at 127. Have only seen 1 PI since I had the game. I also edited kick/punt power/ACC to 43 to add variety to kicks and punts. I have First Step at 100. Spin move for the AI is add at 127. Oh my bad...I have the INT slider at 30.

Re: Generic Editor with NCAA 14

I think I may be the only one amazed that you can do a 124 team fully customized dynasty lol...and I figured out the other night how to do it from the console. Once you set user control to 1 so that all the coaches are set to user, go back to the console under coach info and click on the name of the coach...it will give you the option to set as active coach and once you do that you have control over that team. This way you don't have to keep loading and unloading the file in the editor each time you wanna change something...unless it ratings...you have to do that in the editor or it throws the ratings off. But you literally can recruit for the AI or set the type of player they go after, at what level they go after a position based on their depth chart. You can control the Coaching Carousel to keep unrealistic moves from occurring and even "control who your coordinators are so to speak". It's all in our hands man. However much or little we want to do is our choice!!!

I really wish EA would tell us exactly how sliders impact the gameplay.[/quote]

I think that EA designates a Slider setting of 50 as "neutral". I think that the impact of moving sliders away from 50 in either direction will depend upon how related Roster ratings are set. Since I have been editing Roster ratings, I have viewed slider adjustments as "in-game fine tuning". Finally, since there are a number of different ways to play games, I think that the impact of both ratings and slider adjustments varies with play style.

Re: Generic Editor with NCAA 14

But, it's only a theory, I would love to know exactly in terms of programming, because it ultimately relates to how the game is programmed, how do those adjustments work.

Re: Generic Editor with NCAA 14

I started my experiment with all but the original player ratings zeroed out. I sett all the sliders to 100. The defense clearly needs the next gen ratings. Watching a CPU v CPU game, even Alabama's D was being steamrolled. With the RBk slider at 100, almost every block on a running play resulted in the defender being instantly knocked down. I set it to zero, and while the offense still easily ran the ball, but defenders were not instantly pancaked. Also of note, regardless of the RBk slider setting, on kick returns the kicking team was instantly pancaked when engaged by a receiving team blocker.

One of the interesting "problems" in the game is the engagement between a blocker and a defender. Sometimes these engagements last too long. Either the blocker or the defender should quickly get the upper hand. However, I realize that this engagement process is a crucial part of the way the game operates. The opposite of continued engagements would be "pancakes", either of the blocker or the defender. Pancaking a defender would free up the blocker to engagement another defender. Pancaking a blocker would allow the defender to pursue the ball-carrier, or be engaged by another blocker. Striking a balance between engagement and pancakes is probably an interesting experiment yet to be performed with the Editor.

So many possibilities...
