Kanobi's "Hidden Balance" M25 Slow-Sim Sliders

[Kanobi]

These are slow-sim CPU vs CPU sliders

Read more on the philosophy behind these sliders here: https://forums.operationsports.com/f...eries-x-s.html

I won't be adjusting these as they're already tested and tailored to my personal preference for the on-field action, especially the pass rush. However, feel free to adjust to your tastes. Just know you could see different gameplay as a result.

Welcome back! How is the home field advantage playing so far? Is it too arcade bs or is it good to use this year?

Thanks! It's good to be back! I'm super late to the party because I waited until M25 was available on Game Pass. As for homefield advantage, I found that with it off, there was a serious lack of explosive plays and scoring. Mind you, that was within the confines of my slider set. I can't speak for others.

That's great! Does x-factors work fine with your set?

Using +95 physics now and liking it. Thought it was good at 50 but wasn't seeing enough chunk gains by RB. Seeing them more frequently now with the '95' setting.

What are your main menu settings other than physics tackling? How are the X Factors playing for you?

Everything else is default. X-factors are fine

Re: Kanobi's &quot;Hidden Balance&quot; M25 Slow-Sim Sliders

Yeah, bumping physics to 95 definitely opened up the run game. As for X-Factors, they feel more impactful now, seeing some real momentum swings. Main menu is mostly default, just tweaking tackling and fatigue a bit.

Some recent games...

Mahomes with late-game heroics

Arch Manning steps in after Mahomes is knocked out of the game! Rams starting QB got hurt too!

Do you change your cpu/ human sliders and penalties at the main menu and then import? Or do you make all of your adjustments inside the franchise?

Main menu then import. Gives the best gameplay. Stuff gets wonky when changing within franchise.
