mkharsh33 Varsity / Slow Speed / 8 Min

[mkharsh33]

SET #1 - SLIDERS WITHOUT PATCH / TITLE UPDATE #2

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th @ 12:10 P.M.

Realize that you'll deal with the occasional bonehead DB play, linebackers are prone to jump plays, and the delay of the LB's & DB's when the QB scrambles is there, but these are about as good as we'll get. NOTE the speed threshold is now 85. OFFLINE ONLY - you'll need to download the patch to get roster updates and teambuilder teams, but go into your 360 hard drive memory and delete the title update #2 from within your game saves (clearing the cache will NOT get rid of the patch).

One more note: I let the cpu pick the plays for me - meaning: I use the three in the window and ONLY pick one of the three. This stops ME from picking the same plays repeatedly, but still allows me options.

Also, I use the defensive line on defense and apply the "no switch" on passes until the pass has been completed. I will deviate from this sometimes, but not much. But these are the only two base rules I personally use.

Been messing with PM Varsity also.. We are on the same page, but I would lower HUM KO Power to about 25 or you will get no returns at all

[Cpterp22]

40 might be the mark for KO power

[mkharsh33]

you are suggesting lowering user kickoff power to 40? (meaning I'm lowering it when I kickoff). And THANKS for your feedback! I LOVE the varsity level and believe we can get a nice set developed!

Big fan of the MLB 2K sliders man! Out of curiosity, what's the reason behind starting on Varsity and zeroing lots of stuff out instead of starting at All American and keeping things closer to default? I'm gonna give these a try when I get home and post results.

We had 8 sacks they had 3. I will test again with another team and see if the rushing yards pick up.

I agree with your play style 100% ! Been playing like this for years !

Our sliders are alot different though...

I take into account that the Varsity setting already increases the Human and decreases the Cpu ratings right from the start.

Basically if all settings are stock 50/50...the Human has hidden plus's, and the CPU has hidden minus's.

To account for that right off the top, I make my base starting settings 40 Human / 60 Cpu.

No Human setting will go over 40, and no Cpu setting will go under 60.

I too play 8 minutes qtrs.....but I super sim the 3rd qtr of every game !
This gets my Oline some pancakes, and really balances out the game stats IMO.

Now getting a close 14-9 game is cool, but a game of Louisville vs USF should be more like 34-28
