Sliders Debate

What should we do about our sliders?

I really do think something needs to be changed. No one loses to a cpu team ever. User stats are totally ridiculous. Every year, all, or at least 4 of the 5 Heisman finalists are from user controlled teams. If this is what everyone wants, they should just do their own offline dynasty.

I'm thinking the best alternative would be to adjust some sliders maybe 5-10, especially the ones that will make it tougher to do the things users currently are successful at. IE Passing, Running the ball, Defending the Run. I don't think neccesarily user sliders should be toned down but maybe we could make the computer better? I know tackling is a very important slider and it actually makes defences faster, I've seen this in true form. We could make some minor adjustments so that EVERYONE is at least satisfied.

But Goat, honestly I'd rather see 5 user players in the Heisman than any CPU players - maybe that's just me but that's just the type of OD I'd expect to run. I've recently checked leagues where to win a Heisman your RB has to go for nearly 3000 yards and 50TDs so we're certainly among the closest to sim as you can get, I believe.

agreed

not tru that no one losses to cpu ever but who cares who losses to cpu i dropped 3 games one year so what are we stiving for to have a whole lot of 5 and 6 loss teams so that the stats can be sim? i dont agree with that the user games are plenty competive and every season it has been win ur user games u get into the championship i think its part of what makes this dynasty so fun we start giving ppl losses to the computer comepletly destroys the significance of a user game win.. imo my thing is in order to kill stats which is what this argument about u have to make the cpu better and in a recent game i lost 4 onside kicks and i think u will see more of ea just beating u than u will see competitive play.. i mean a game against fcs should never be hard ever! n if we are trying to adjust the slider to make the bad teams good enough then what about the good teams cause they dont play too shabby right now at all... i have had my fair share of 4 pic games against the cpu...

ok so i just played a game on a supposidly hard dynasty and i used louisville and played syracuse and everyone here would lose to the computer... I still THREW for close to 400 so idk what that says but everything was a lot harder.. less sacks less big plays since everyone wants sim it was pretty close i punted alot i had a fumble in the redzone threw a pic i mean it was pretty sim but i can tell u right now games against good teams will be an absoulute toss up and there qb at times was robo as fuck also the defense was hela stingy.. it was hard.. but again i repeat u will lose games!!! i can guarantee it because i was playing syracuse and it wasnt close but I yes me played ball control and was very safe.. so idk if u guys wanna give this a run but im telling u all that stat shit will be out cause my qb got hurried 23 times out of 37 attempts so basically every play.. ne ways try em i guess i like our sliders more fun than these but if sim is what we are going for stop all the stat padding and we want cpu to win games this is it!

yo macc i think you should be commended.i just played with these sliders and althought i smashed west virginia 31-3, i think these sliders are a vast improvement on the others. it seemed alot more chellenging than it has been.

also if you dont mind if i could just suggest one or 2 things i think maybe a bump in punt accuracy and power maybe necessary. cause i was punting right down centre and it was skewing off to the sideline everytime.

also maybe if u increas the penalty sliders for holding and clipping it will deter the use of the gameplaning thingy.

Good call clev! I'll see how my game goes this week with Nama and the minor adjustment I made

which sliders did u decide to use macc?

I welcome the challenge...our OD would be even better if every game was hard and not a stats popping cheesefest....i know putting up huge number is fun as hell...I had the rodgers bros...I know about putting up stats...remember in college football...every game is a playoff
