I like the past sliders as is. Does some bull happen, yea, but that counteracts CPU stupidity.

I have had very competitive games, and I enjoy it.

The thing is, I don't mind losing to the computer, it makes all games interesting. Does it [censored] me off when I lose? Hell yea! But it is better then winning 123 - 16.

Anyway, those that hate losing, well they always have restarts and that is just fine with me! They can have the trophy...

On a side note, if you feel the game is smoother, then these sliders may be better for human vs. human games. The only difference I really noticed was the CPU inability to adjust to gimme plays and outside runs.

I don't want to make the game any easier. The guys on OS that have been working their balls off to come up with these claim that they made the game more realistic, and caused players to act the way they would based on how they were rated.

As for the rest of your high-horse rant. I agree.

I haven't used these or any other sliders. I've barely had time to get my games in. That's why I wanted you guys to try them out, and let me know what you thought of them.

How does everyone feel about the 'Kill Clock' functionality? Should there be some kind of ruling when it can be used?

I always use it when I'm winning in the second half. It keeps me from staring at the play-call screen an extra ten seconds or so.

Chew clock can be used the whole game as far as I'm concerned. I think that I'm going to bump us up to 7 minute quarters anyway though. The game really seems to fly by, w/out chewing the clock, if you have a run based offense.

I played OSU vs. Navy, so that could have had alot to do with it. Could you make the game close by not going to gimme plays, yes, but there is no way I could hold off those. The game has done an exceptional job on eliminating the bounce out and out run everyone to the sideline, but I felt the new sliders made it a tad easier (but then again I am pretty much the man at this game).

My horse is TALL!

On a serious note, I will happily play with any sliders you choose, I am just having fun.

I played a half as Ohio State against Penn State. The game was @ Ohio State. Penn State jumped on me pretty early with an 80 yard pass to the flat on the second play from scrimmage. I threw a pick on my first play, and Penn State scored another TD on 3rd and short. I eventually took a 31-17 lead at halftime. 300+ total yards, and 160 of it was rushing yards on 20 carries. At least 4 of those carries were sacks that lost between 5-10 yards.

Running is too easy. There were too many sacks for both teams (4 or more). The cpu QB threw too many panic passes to the RB in the flat. Penn State did go deep on me several times, but so did Auburn in Piney's dynasty, so I don't think that was a result of these sliders.

There is another set of varsity sliders on OS that I may try before giving up on varsity altogether. Regardless, full scale slider changes won't take place until the offseason, because week 4 is the last week that there are no human vs. human games. I may make some minor tweaks to the AA sliders. I agree, with fanatic, that RBs seem to be too slow with their first step this year. I am going to play around with raising user RB ability to 55 and lowering user run blocking to 45 or 40. Since run block affects kick returns too, that is a slider that is definitely going to be lowered sooner rather than later.

Whenever he gets done. So, hopefully, tonight or tomorrow morning.

We have advanced to week 4.

Slider tweaks.

User tweaks only. No CPU sliders were adjusted
QB accuracy 50 to 45
RB ability 50 to 55
Run Blocking 50 to 40
Kickoff Power 50 to 65
FG power 50 to 40

Forgot to change it to 7 minute quarters until after I had already started advancing.

Screw the sportsmanship garbage. Start of the third quarter and I'm beating Fresno St 35-0, its 3rd and 7, run a play action for 8 yards and got the first down, also got a -50 Unsportsman garbage. I get the point against users, but against the computer, I spent the entire second half running and running and running. Very boring.

The increased RB ability really made no difference in my opinion, granted its only 5.

[buckeyemania11]

for some reason im having a harder time beating the computer with Texas than Baylor

I had to comeback to beat Oklahoma State 24-23 on a last second FG

I must not be signed up for the season showdown stuff, because I've never gotten any scores for sportsmanship. Positive or negative.

I only made small tweaks so I wouldn't screw things up too bad. What I'll probably do next week is raise the cpu kickoff power too. I should have done that this week, along with moving to 7 minute quarters.

Kick returns are too easy, and that's my main concern right now. There's only been two kick returns in this OD, and I haven't had any with Kentucky, but I've had a ton of them offline, and have only been one guy and a wide open field away from several in both of these dynasties. As it is, everyone is averaging 23-24 yards per return and starting out on the 35 or 40 for nearly every posession.
