Keep in mind your QB sack numbers will still be very high. I've spent a TON of time testing and tweaking and experimenting...you're going to end up with 5+ sacks for most of your games for now. Instead of getting upset, just look at it as a +/- deal. If you sack the CPU 5 times but they sack you 4, I'd say you have a pretty good challenge. I also encourage you to do a lot of testing on your own. I call this the chameleon set because I took a lot of different slider sets and merged them all together. I will credit the members on here that inspired this work. Please mess with these...break them apart, find what works, what doesn't, and keep making tweaks. No one slider set is going to be perfect for you. Last updated: 9/16: Online CFM Settings Skill Level - All-Pro Quarter Length - 13 min Accelerated Clock - On Minimum Play Clock - 18 Game Speed - Normal Team Settings Strafe Assist - On Pre Snap Menu - On Coaching Tips - Off Player Names - Pre Snap Heat Seeker - On Ball Hawk - On Switch Assist - On Sliders Player Skill QB Accuracy - 15 Pass Blocking - 55 WR Catching - 65 Run Blocking - 45 Fumbles - 40 Pass Defense Reaction Time - 15 Interceptions - 39 Pass Coverage - 80 Tackling - 32 Notes: If you're picking apart the CPU too easily, lower your QB accuracy. I have WR catching at 65 so that you will see star WR's come down with the ball more often with 1 on 1 matchups. You might need to lower run blocking down if you're averaging over 4 yards per carry (depending on your team). Thanks to Oraeon's research, the lower the pass defense reaction time slider, the faster your defense will react to the ball in the air. Raising pass coverage does exactly that - it allows your players to cover passes more effectively. These two values are set to 15 and 80 because the CPU has a habit of picking apart your defense a little too easily in my opinion. This counters it. With tackling set to 32, you will see a realistic amount of broken tackles. CPU Skill QB Accuracy - 50 Pass Blocking- 85 WR Catching - 37 Run Blocking - 55 Fumbles - 40 Pass Defense Reaction Time - 15 Interceptions - 39 Pass Coverage - 80 Tackling - 32 Notes: I've tested QB accuracy a lot. In my opinion, this slider does not impact the CPU QB's actual accuracy until you get down to 4 or 3. From 5-100, the QB accuracy is roughly the same. You will, however see the QB scramble more intelligently at higher levels. In my opinion, this allows them to escape a few more sacks. I have fumbles set to 40 for both teams and you will see on average 1 fumble per team each game. Raise this slider if you want to see less. Special Teams FG Power - 50 FG Accuracy - 38 Punt Power - 50 Punt Accuracy - 53 Kickoff Power - 50 Notes: FG accuracy is perfect in my opinion. You will finally see the CPU miss a realistic amount of FG's. I raised punt accuracy to 53 because the CPU doesn't do too well at coffin corners at 50 or below. Game Options Injuries - 52 fatigue - 64 Min Player Speed Threshold - 35 Notes: I'm still testing speed threshold. Supposedly, the lower you go, the more separation you will see between players. Testing so far is inconclusive - but at 35, the game is starting to feel right. Penalty Offside - 60 false Start - 61 Holding - 65 Face Mask - 52 Defensive PI - 75 Offensive PI - 25 Punt Catch Interference - 50 Clipping - 50 Intentional Grounding - 15 Roughing Passer - 25 Roughing Kicker - 50 If you want to test and show us box scores, go here: http://dynasties.operationsports.com/index.php Credit goes to: Armor and Sword for his brilliant base set Kchuskey for his all-pro default penalty set and theory Billsfan1113 for his idea to raise CPU pass accuracy Oraeon1224 for his extensive slider testing and theory Bzito75 for his tweaking of this base set that inspired changes If you're still seeing too many short passes from the CPU, hit triangle on PS4 (Y on Xbone) and then right stick down to adjust coverage to underneath routes. This works like a charm! Enjoy.

Just updated the OP.

Special thanks to Bzito for him tweaking my original set and then me tweaking his tweaks lol.
