Fiddy's NCAA 14 Sliders

[Fiddy]

alright OS buds, i know here we go, another slider set. but here me out!

last night i was just wanting to play the game and enjoy it, yet i couldn't. i was sucked into the slideritus a bit bc of the forums. reading everyone's thoughts and opinions on every single slider, hum, cpu, and effects penalty sliders had on gameplay etc.

while i enjoy all of that and respect everyone's views on the game (Yukon46, Matt10, Jarrodd21, Charter04, Oraeon, SECElit3, authentic, Jistic, Chedapalooza, BentleyA, ZaPPPa, insert whoever i missed here etc) i just wanted to play.

i went back to my old way of setting up the game sliders and settings. kind of what EA does when going up or down a level, just use increments of 25. so, my only options for all sliders are 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100. thats it, no excuses, set them like that and leave it be.

everyone's skill level is very different. so im sure how i have mine set will be very easy for some and thats fine. bump it up a level and adjust by 25's and see what ya can come up with.

my feeling is that, by only going up and down by 25's is that the game plays more true to how EA has the game set up by default. the way they do things by default is obviously not perfect, but the more we mess with 5 clicks here, 5 clicks there, the more the game is out of whack it seems. just dont feel right, something always feels off. (im a believer in all the testing everyone has done though for the record. proof is in the pudding, you guys have proved it view posts and video.)

so by going with just adjusting by 25 im back to having some fun. sure, it might not be 100% realistic, but it sure is fun.

im seeing QB's spread the ball around all over the field, sideline animations, diving catches, lunging catches, tipped balls being intercepted, QB's taking off at times, QB's throwing it away at times, and even penalties being called..

the stuff above, was very rare for whatever reason with a lot of changes. maybe staying a bit more true to how they go up and down levels helps this stuff out? who knows, but it feels that way.

anyway, sorry for the rant.. but if this helps anyone else enjoy the game a bit more and are not worried about 5 clicks here and there, then that makes me one happy bud. LOL.

please, leave any type of feedback ya want. ill update this 1st post with any changes that i make.

thanks guys!

3 INT's, i havent thrown 3 INT's in i cant tell you how long. 1 bad read by me, 1 great play by the DB, 1 off of a deflected pass down field...

i fumbled, lost it, they fumbled (stripped RB), lost it.

obviously ND should be Temple and i did. this could have been worse, but those picks, man!

i really had some bad reads in this one. which lead to those INT's. but this was another one where i didnt feel threatened after the first few possession from Purdue. unlike last game, where Michigan was a tough game from start to finish.

overall though good feel so far...

I love your theory on this, and I'm going to use that theory to tweak what you've created and create my own set using only 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100.

That's what makes this type of "theory" or default type setup great. It will work on all skill levels. If something needs tweaked, isolate the issue, bump up or down 25.

I've been having a blast since using these. They are not the end all be all sliders but man they sure get the game to play how it was intended out of the box animation wise IMO.

Let me know what you end up using. Post some results here etc. Thanks.

[Flightwhite24]

Any reason why you left penalties at default? Thanks I'm giving these a shot right now

[Flightwhite24]

Just played a qtr with these and Fiddy I'm leaning towards that it may be some truth to your findings

Animations are insane with these settings. First series and you instantly notice free flowing movement.

I love Matt10's/crew slider set but one thing I hate is tweaking sliders all over the place to get desired results bit at the same time I understand that most of the.time it is a must.

Give me.realistic penalties and then im a happy gamer
