awesome....thanks!

Has anyone read about how the penalty sliders might affect gameplay? I haven't tried them out yet (my casual NCAA play has suffered lately and can only find time to play my online dynasty games).

So will post them here to see if anyone has tried them out.

Offsides - 5 (Allows DL to fire quicker)
False Start - 45 (Tones down CPU jump snap, lower this to taste)
Holding - 95 (Helps pass rush by keeping the O-line honest)
Face Mask - 5 (You will still see one or two per game)
Offensive Pass Interference - 95 ( Helps DB's by making your WR's less aggressive)
Defensive Pass Interference - 5 (Helps DB's by allowing them to play more aggressive)
KR/PR Interference - 5 (Not sure but might help tone down the return game)
Clipping - 95 (Tone down special teams)
Intentional Grounding - 5 (I'd rather see a sack)
Roughing the passer - 5 (More sacks and pressure on the QB)
Roughing the kicker - 5 (Produce more punt/FG blocks)

The few posts I have seen from people trying them seem to be positive.

Great find Piney, I'm reading up on it, and so far no one has had a bad thing to say about this. I may be adjusting these sliders for our 360 dynasty

And while you are at it. Find some good post patch sliders so I can steal them when the PS3 gets the 2nd patch

The first year I had a lot of close games turn into blowouts thanks to the CPU giving the games away.. the Penn State game it was 35-33 in the 4th and they threw 4 straight pick 6's and then I took a fumble all the way back. Wisconsin was without P.J. Hill when I played them in 2008 (And he left early after that season) so it was easy to beat them then Illinois was without Juice when I played them. I played on Heisman with NJPapi's sliders the first year but I think the ratings my team had out of the gate made my team unstoppable. I switched to All-American after the 2nd patch was released prior to the Purdue game.

WTF, Beanie had 2K yards rushing, 6.4 YPC and 30 TD's and no Heisman?

Anything is possible when you are inside a Fantasy.

Yeah, Noel Devine won it with around 500 less yards and 15 less TD's. I think it may have had something to do with I didn't use Beanie very much in the passing game considering he was always too fatigued from rushing and I had Saine as my receiver out of the backfield 90% of the time.

Its okay though, Laurinaitis gave Devine a concussion in the bowl game

[CentralMOBuck]

Nice, did you get any videos of it? I got my first hit stick/fumble the other day against Penn State and I need to upload the numerous big hits from that game.

I've found a new weapon in the passing game this year. I've been overflowing with WR's lately(can't have enough I think). I had one that was like 6'5 and 220 and I needed a TE so I switched his position to that. Overall he is a 70 something, but damn he kills in the passing game. I'm still having a lot of trouble with pass defense(slants and TE's kill me, not that the computer can stop that either). Anyone got any idea's?

That's happening this year, but Devine doesn't have anything on Wells for the Heisman....which he is going to win in 08

Just curious, but did the game make you play at USC in back to back years?

In my dynasty they had me playing Auburn the next year and the year after that it was at USC again.

I think playing Madden has made me a lot better at NCAA!!!!

What is a good forum dedicated to Madden/NCAA? I saw someone on here had something in their signature a few weeks back that listed the forum but I cant remember which one it was.
