ok im up and doing schedules as we speak we one up inna bit..ooooo yaaaa we are adjusting the sliders.. what are we doing dropping run ability 10?

Subject: Re: 2011 Pre Season Thu 26 Aug 2010, 9:03 pm

I would say drop the CPU QB ability. I don't think I held any opposing CPU QB under 75% completion rate once all season. The receiver catching IMO is fine I've seen SOME drops and I certainly don't want to make it EASY, but there needs to be some adjustment because too many times I've called a heavy middle zone coverage and the CPU just dumps it to a guy who runs 4 yards and turns around and completes it every time. Very frustrating on third and short when you KNOW it's coming, plan to defend it and it just doesn't happen. So either USER Pass defence/coverage bumped up 10-15... or CPU QB Accuracy lowered just 5.

Subject: Re: 2011 Pre Season Thu 26 Aug 2010, 10:06 pm

ok but what about the running that was everyones main issue the backs where running way to well... so i think it needs to be turned down..

Subject: Re: 2011 Pre Season Thu 26 Aug 2010, 10:28 pm

I agree. I think their run blocking is about where it needs to be to keep the game challenging, it's just their consistent ability to throw linemen like rag dolls is a bit sour so RB Ability.

Maybe it's just me but I had two impact defensive ends last year and I could not get a LICK of pressure at times. I think 5 on user Passrush would be nice.

PS Ax have you edited the AI at all today, or am I reading the numbers we used last season?

Subject: Re: 2011 Pre Season Thu 26 Aug 2010, 10:29 pm

nah not at all still doing schedules.. thats last years..

2012 Pittsburgh Panthers Pre Season Outlook

KEY OFFENSIVE STARTERS

QB Tino Sunseri - 6'2 210.lbs Junior (RS) *All American
Showed the ability of a premiere QB within the Big East in his sophmore year. Flashes of brilliance made critics and analysts realize he's got big play ability. With an entire receiving corps returning, there's no cieling on Sunseri's potential this year.

RB Dion Lewis - 5'8 197.lbs Junior *All American
Dion not only lead his team and conference in rushing, he lead the entire nation as a sophmore. The Panthers have another crack at a consequtive Big East title and January bowl game with Dion touching the ball twenty times a game. He's simply unstoppable at times and a nightmare for any opponent.

WR Jon Baldwin - 6'5 232.lbs Senior OFFENSIVE CAPTAIN
Jon installed a serious threat in the Pittsburgh passing game last year. He will literally catch anything deep when single covered. A venus fly trap for a set of hands. Baldwin gets an even more experienced Dion Lewis to distract the defence. Baldwin, by far the most physical player the Panthers have.

WR Cameron Saddler - 5'7 172.lbs Junior (RS)
Cameron Saddler plays the perfect slot receiver that will see plenty of balls due to the fact that there's other offensive threats around him, leaving him open quite often. He lives in the middle of the field and isn't afraid to shy away from any linebackers despite his size. He's developing a solid ability to beat defenders deep for easy catch-and-score's.

TE Brock DeCicco - 6'5 232.lbs Sophmore (RS) *All American
The DeCicco tradition at Pittsburgh continues as Brock carries on the legacy for the first year without brother former SS Dom DeCicco. Brock was the teams second leading receiver with over 500 yards and he caught 8 TDs. He's a catalyst in the redzone with the ability to run crisp routes like a receiver.

KEY DEFENSIVE STARTERS

LOLB Max Gruder - 6'2 233.lbs Senior (RS)
The heart and soul of the defence, Gruder is a pitbull tracking anything that moves and he plays with authority. Always very active in the game, he can track most ball carriers. He moves well in pass coverage but he's a notorious ball hawk defending the running game.

MLB Dan Mason - 6'0 237.lbs Junior
Mason lead the team in tackles last year, and returns for just his junior season. He was a very steady, reliable middle linebacker whose worked on all of the flaws of his game through the offseason. If Mason can improve his ability in pass coverage he can be an All-American MLB candidate by his senior year.

SS Jarred Holley - 5'10 180.lbs Junior (RS) *All American
Jarred Holley may not look like the most intimidating figure in your secondary, but his big play ability at the safety spot is outstanding. Holley plays safety very athletically, always involved in breaking up plays. His transition over to SS was his idea, as it would help the team facilitate true freshman FS AJ Rice whose recently stepped up in camp and solidified a role on the team with his speed and tenacity.

FS Andy Rice - 6'1 175.lbs Freshman
Andy Rice came in as a very well sought after prospect coming into camp this year. But the buzz he's made his first practice is still ringing around Heinz Field. An All American like Jarred Holley took the liberty of stepping up and switching safety spots so he could come here and play his natural position. Rice is riding the hype high and if he plays well he could be a four year starting senior.

MY OPINION OF SLIDER CHANGES

USER Pass Rush bumped from 50 to 55-60.
- I had two impact players at DE last year and I had luck getting pressure at TIMES. I think this will address the CPU quarterback completion issue to if it were bumped to 60.

USER Tackling bumped from 35 to 40-45.
- I think this may have something to do with the CPUs ability to whip linemen around.

CPU Pass Blocking lowered from 30 to 25.
- I'd lower it to 25 if user pass rush is at 55, I think that would solve the issue with these crazy percentages CPU QBs are averaging.

CPU Rush Defence increased from 35 to 40.
- It would make the game a bit more challenging, I found it a little easy to run at times against even tough opponents.

That's my o.
