I must say this was the single worst game I've played so far in terms of collision detection; lots of weird and ill-advised animations, and in general both the CPU and human defenses 'felt' off.
However, EVERYTHING ELSE felt great.
Playing in the second year of my Dynasty, #1 USC @ #12 Nebraska (me), with 1:04 remaining the 3rd (10 minute quarters):
Not sure how good those numbers look to a bystander, but I can tell you I don't have a problem with any of them; the game played extremely realistically.
Much of what USC was able to do on offense I can blame on my play-calling. I was in 'test mode' on a few plays, and for the most part they didn't do much when I called something I thought was 'witty' and managed to get a first or a TD when I called something a bit questionable.
On offense I held my own - against an A+ defense, by the way - and I got the feeling, as I did on defense, that my play-calling was most important to my success, as it should be, imo.
One INT for each team, certainly nothing to complain about there.
Overall, while I know it's only one game, these are the best sliders I've played.
Will play more tomorrow, maybe with some slight tweaks, but in general these are a fantastic base if nothing else.
There's no question about it to me these sliders give the game play a very realistic feeling. The AWR setting only truly effects poor defensive teams from what I've seen using these sliders. My Michigan defense can still play at a high level. But when I use a scrub defensive team they get smoked more often.

It is damn near impossible to win with these settings unless your team far outclasses the team you are playing.
I have a dynasty with Cincinnati going and I can not stop anybody, even the scrub teams move the ball at will on me.

How are the auto-subs with the latest sliders? Decent touches for the HB's? How often have you seen the OL and QB's subbed (initial look makes me think those %'s are a bit high).

Thanks!
I needed to raise all the sliders 5 each, they seem to work well now.

I have played about 5 games with these sliders and I love them!! I have played a variety of games in dynasty...some good teams against the "FC" teams and Louisiana Monroe vs. Tulsa and had a great game.
I thought the games played very realisticly, especially the interceptions. I have not seen a b.s. interception yet.

I like these so far. The only thing I don't really like is how the CPU can just march down the field with ease at times. Their running game is also amazing at times(basically 8 yards a run). I'll lower RB Ability(Maybe 80ish) and raise hum DAWARness

I also like these sliders, but they were too easy on offense, so what i did was keep the sliders, but changed the difficulty to heisman, and it has been great.
