I actually made some changes to the first page sliders (guess I should have mentioned that)!
Changes I made:
1. lowered all HUM run game sliders ... now at 12.5 difficulty (might be too drastic of a change, but wanted to experiment).
2. raised CPU pass blk and WR catch to help CPU pass offense
3. strengthened CPU pass defense to make HUM pass game harder
Let me know how these changes work if you get some games in. I won't be playing again until later tonight or early tomorrow.
In order for these to work, they are to be entered in Franchise Mode only? I am entering them via the Main Menu, but for Player Skill (and CPU Skill for that matter) do not see ".5" as an option, only whole numbers.

I have played 2 games using your sliders and have really enjoyed them.I play as the dolphins and in the first game against the falcons i found the running game was really easy....brown had 26 carries for 122 yrds.passing game was good and the computer(falcons) had one big rush for 69 yds and than a huge 72 yard pass play...nothing too drastic.
In my second game against the colts there was only one defensive touchdown an interception for a td...the final score was miami 7 colts 0.once again pretty relalistic my defense pressured manning all day he had decent numbers just could not get into the endzone...So i really like your sliders but think a few things could use a little adjusting and after weeks of frustration trying to find a good base i thank you.
All adjustments I make are done to the sub-sliders, so when I say "lower" it is making that aspect more difficult. I recently updated several sliders after some test games this morning. All changes are updated on page 1 ... try them out and see what you think.
I'm especially curious to see how the new sliders for the HUM run game work. I dropped those sliders quite a bit because I was finding running too easy in my recent games while using average teams.

What am I doing wrong?
Make all adjustments to the sub-sliders and that will equal the "main slider" rating I have listed in post #1 (12.5, 10, 16, etc, etc). In other words click on each main slider to open sub-sliders and adjust those values to the numbers I have listed.

Hope that helps!
Gotcha'. However, the first section (Player Skill > Passing) did not go to 12.5, but to 12.
Preset Skill Level has to be Custom, correct?

It will never show 12.5 or any other decimal. I simply figured out how many clicks were between 12 and 13 to figure that out. 12.5 should be exactly between all-pro (10) and all-madden (15). It was just a base point to start at as I found all-pro fun but too easy, and all-madden too full of cpu cheats.
You'll notice I have most of the cpu sliders set to make their difficulty near or below all-pro, while all hum sliders are set between all-pro and all-madden (or higher), which should increase overall difficulty/challenge versus the cpu.

Oh, alright, so no decimals. I thought I was entering it in incorrectly.
One last question before I go and play a full game and test them out. What is the "all-pro (10) and all-madden (15)"? I literally entered in the ratings you posted, and believe to have them entered them correctly, just a bit confused on that.

Just worry about having sub-sliders set as listed on page one and you'll be correct. I probably should have left main slider number off so as not to confuse anyone?
default all-pro leaves main sliders at (10), default all-madden (15), default pro (5), etc, etc. Then if you click on sub-sliders you see all-pro has all sub-sliders at 50, all-madden 25, etc, etc.

Oh alright. Sorry for being annoying, just want to ensure I was using your sliders correctly so that I can possibly have a great Madden experience with them.

I'll try these in a little bit, but first I need some grub.
