Sliders allow everyone to suit their own tastes. Frankly, I’m very grateful for sliders. I do agree that too many sliders are frustrating and can actually drive you crazy. A good balance should come straight out of the box and minor adjustments would be optimal.
Absolutely. Release a game without sliders and you would face a mutiny. To assume its EA's fault (and this exists for ALL sports games) would only be fair if you were to look at the slider forums and see the same or similar adjustments made for each poster. When you look at the NCAA football slider forum, I like to see what people do but they often do very different things. Some raise blocking, others lower it, some raise def. awareness while others drop it. That simply shows people's expectations and skill levels regarding a game are different and that sliders are the only way to please the majority.
