I tried these out and they did seem to work but it was only one game.
The AI threw only 2 picks vs my defense which is not too bad. I did like the fact that the AI RB's didn't run me over as often. The game play felt smooth and realistic and I was able to pick up some nice long runs with this set. I still like the original set but these made the game more relaxed for me on offense in a good way.

The issue I have with these sliders is: I realize in college football all teams aren't equal but I'm not trying to capture the essence of realism in a video game. I'm trying to make the game competive for me over the long haul and unfortunatley some of the settings on defense might frustrate you more than it would me.
To each their own of course, but I know I want the game to play more realistically than just be competitive. I don't want to see Temple go to USC and give the Trojans a good game - that just isn't going to happen, it should be a blowout 99% of the time. Again, to each his own and good luck with these.

The above mentioned is what concerns me. Every game should not be competitive. Teams that should get blown out should. I don't want to play Toledo against LSU and have to sqeak out a win and the same against Bowling Green, Marshall, Utah State[Reply]

I tried PM's latest changes and I think he may be on to something as far as INT's are concerned. My last 2 games with these I had a combined INT's of 1 which is a first. Peace!!!!

I've seen several sets that folks have used,have read the results,and the int problem is still just that......a problem.
The user just pics off to many passes....well Playmaker has (imo) found the problem.It has to do with the knockdown slider,I've seen several sets and have used several sets,and they all seem to have the kd slider maxed or close to it,turn that baby DOWN lol.
I just read the last few post and he might not have been looking for realism but after using his latest slider updates most of the day I can say these felt as real as they get to me. I love the fact now that the AI doesn't have any different offensive sliders than me and they still played good football. I lost to a big time program and then killed a smaller school. They may look hard if you just go by the looks of the sliders without playing. But the actual game play is pretty damn realistic from what I've seen in my games today.

I tested this with PM's sliders, slightly tweaked to my style, and didn't have a problem. I played a half as USC (me) vs. Wash St. (cpu) and dominated them, especially the running game. Then I tried another half as Wisconsin (me) at Michigan and had a tough time moving the ball. My defense played well, but Michigan put a couple long scoring drives together. I think it was 10-3 Mich at halftime with 9 min quarters.
I like the sliders so far and will probably start my dynasty with them.

Nice post:-) This says EXACTLY how I was feeling when I first tried these.
I have finally found my Dynasty sliders,and will start when the final rosters are uploaded.

am i the only one getting more int's with the update? I'm getting at least 4 ints a game now, I think I liked it better with the knockdowns at 25 and the int at 0. BTW the rest of the sliders are awesome.

Let me ask: How are the fumbles with these sliders? The CPU tackling looks jacked up and was just wondering if you see many fumbles with these.

I had my first game with ZERO turnovers using the new switch-a-roo sliders. CPU had only one INT. I feel much braver going to the deep ball now. Thanks for the new sliders. Cheers!
