You've done it again Armor. These are close to perfect. Only change I made is I bumped kickoff back up to 50 just because too many drives are starting inside your own 20, and realistically kickoffs are touchbacks more often than not (I know it's not as fun, just my personal preference for realism purposes).

They REALLY need to patch in formation subs though. Especially with the new wear and tear mechanic it is a pain right now to manage snaps for all your guys.

Yeah I have noticed in my games the general the starting field position (both CPU and user) ends up being inside the 20 more often than not. Which then affects play count, yardage, field position on punts, etc.

I might test some things out there cause while it might lead to more scoring drives off kickoffs, it might be countered slightly by worse starting field position after punts and such.

IIRC the touchback rate in college football is somewhere around 50%. Don't think I've ever looked anything up on average starting position n such.

These sliders are damn near perfect. Had two contrasting games in my Miami test dynasty. As #8 Miami, I Beat #6 NC State at home 45-10. Their Sophomore QB struggled as we are the #17 toughest place to play. Then faced a 3-2 Stanford team at home again and barely beat them 30-24 due to their Senior QB staying composed.

- Classic passing has made passing so much more random and finally seeing underthrown/overthrown passes.
- turned injuries up to 52 and saw more injuries, but nothing major. Will move up to 53.
- Wear and tear rarely happens. I wonder if its tied to fatigue.
- Holding seems to happen more when I hit R2 in the hole, will try to lay off the turbo until in open field.

Re: Armor & Sword's CFB 25 Custom Dynasty Mode Sliders

Had an all time game against Tennessee in year 3 of my Nebraska dynasty.

Ended up down 17 points thanks in part due to a forced throw in the end zone for an interception, and my receiver fumbling on another drive at the end of a huge play.

Clawing back. Down 10 with 3:45 left. Vols have the ball. They are working the clock, but also throwing the ball which they've carved my pass defense all game. Except this time Nico is hit and it's a FUMBLE!!! The DT transfer I just got in the portal scoops it and takes it all the way to the house! Memorial Stadium is ROCKING as it's now 36-33.

Tennessee gets the ball back. They drive down the field, and then their drive stalls at the 29 yard line. Stadium is at full pulse. Clock is winding down to 1:12. The kick is up aaaaaand DOINK! Off the left upright, as the 13 mph winds played a factor and the Huskers have life!

The Huskers offense has no timeouts. Down 3. Raiola leads the gang down the field. He finds his slot receiver Jaylen Lloyd, he is stopped just short of the goal line and the clock is starting to run as the Huskers try to change their play at the line.

Incomplete pass at the 1 yard line. 4 seconds left. Do we kick the field goal or go for the win? What kind of question is that. Nebraska lines up in a goal line formation. This is for the win. Dylan Raiola takes the snap, HE'S HIT AT THE LINE! WAIT, THE SECOND EFFORT SHOWS THE BALL JUST GRAZING THE GOAL LINE! HE'S IN! THE HUSKERS HAVE COMPLETED THE 17 POINT COMEBACK AT MEMORIAL STADIUM!!!

40-36 win that was electric!

Vols
520 yards offense
20 rushes 25 yards (did a lot of cover 0 shells)
26/30 attempts 495 yards passing(Nico was a problem)
8 penalties 66 yards

Nebraska
561 total yards
20 rushes 56 yards
44/62 attempts 505 yards passing

Felt like a legit matchup between two future NFL QB's

Re: Armor & Sword's CFB 25 Custom Dynasty Mode Sliders

Love the slider set always use your other and they seem to always work best for me. The question i have is sim number of plays are so low in sim games that its killing the overall season totals in almost every stat . Is there anything that can be changed to combat this ?

You can supersim every single game to get a little better overall stats at the moment. The hope everyone has is that EA will fix the sim engine ASAP (not holding my breath though).

Thank you...super easy process for those wishing to play multiple games a week....watch games (Super Sim Slow) etc.

After the game simply retire the coach.

Rinse and repeat each week.

You can create up to 32 coaches at one time each week. It won't affect any teams CPU recruiting what so ever. Just retire each coach prior to advancing the week.

It's as if they were never there.

For those of you who are super annoyed with the extreme amount of upsets from the sim engine... I found that super simming games seems to give more true to life results. For my dynasty I'm taking control of the Top 25 teams that week and super simming the games. It's a little time consuming, but far more realistic results. Only seeing about 1-2 upsets a week this way.

Re: Armor & Sword's CFB 25 Custom Dynasty Mode Sliders

OK I'm starting to get to the bottom of this whole Wear and Tear before any games have been played thing I was talking about recently.

So it appears as there is some kind of behind the scenes "practice" or activity going on if a team has a game which may cause wear and tear BEFORE a game has been played.

I tested this by starting a new dynasty. The ONLY teams who had any wear and tear Week 0 were ones who were scheduled games that week. Wouldn't be a HUGE issue outside of there's cases of these teams having 6-8 starters with "Severe" Risk of injury and ratings penalties in the 20s-30s.

I am testing some Week 0 games and will sim to Week 1 to confirm that every other team with a week 1 game has wear and tear prior to their game being played.

This could be a BIG reason as to why sim stats are jacked up. If every week half of a starting lineup is taking major ratings hits cause of mystery wear and tear before the games, it's gonna skew the stats as well as the amount of playing time I'd assume.

Re: Armor & Sword's CFB 25 Custom Dynasty Mode Sliders

Enjoying the set! After about 5 games with Ball State, I turned tackle down to 47. On 49 I was seeing too many open field 1-on-1 tackles, and felt like even when my RBs hit the open hole they'd always get grabbed from the side and taken down. 47 seems good for me, 46 probably lowest I'd go. Sort of a way to combat the lowered run blocking.

I feel like in order to get balance you have to go one or the other when it comes to rushing; Lowered run blocking (below 50) with poorer tackling (RB fights through and breaks a few tackles due to weak run blocking and ends up with 5 yards), or higher run blocking (50 and above) with more wrap up tackles (the RB runs untouched for 5 yards then down the moment someone touches him). I always take the former approach.

I’m setting up an RNG system to do force wins in Top 25 games. Super dimming would take up more of my time than I’d care to do.

Armor -

How do you control all teams from week to week?

That's not a bad idea either

Continuing our trend of discussing potential slider changes, is anyone getting an obscene amount of running into the punter penalties by the CPU? Whoever it is on the edge of the line for a normal return straight guns for the punter with no pull back. Just lost a game where I had the offense in 4th and forever but the CPU hit the punter on 2 back to back 3 and outs.

I've had a mix game to game. One game I had like 5 running into the kicker/punter penalties (from non-usered player).

Other games I don't have any defenders come close to doing it. It's def frustrating when it happens a few times in a close game but I just chalk it up to young dumb players being young and dumb.

Since our only options are to turn the penalty off or on, if you really wanted to try and get any change done it would be through like pass blocking which would more negatively affect the overall game just to stop a few penalties.

If it bugs you I'd just disable it tbh.

Re: Armor & Sword's CFB 25 Custom Dynasty Mode Sliders

I get I'm in year 1 of my Dynasty as Indiana so I'm out gunned vs better programs, but good lord I struggle on defense. I'll have a team bottled up and at the most inconvenient times I just start giving up plays. Pass defense is difficult
