If you put Run Blocking above 25, I find that fourth and inches is money. So I keep it at 25 to make sure there is risk for going for it on 4th and short.

IMO I would not up it to get a run game with a bad team. I like to use the same sliders all the way through so you don't want it to be too easy when you become a super school. This is all personal preference though so do whatever makes the game MOST fun for ya.

I have my penalty sliders at the following:

Off sides & false start 85
Roughing the passer 5
Roughing the kicker 25
Intentional Grounding 95
Everything else is 100

Mulder & Scully have been assigned to the penalty slider folder and myth busters is doing an EA special tomorrow night. I have no idea if these effect gameplay, but the skeptic in me says no.

I've never seen a roughing the passer by anyone other than me anyway, so that doesn't even matter.

Actually, though, I think they have the penalty sliders formula locked up in Area 51. Wherever it is now, the base that USED to be Area 51 is apparently mostly deserted......

It's probably there with the all-spark.

I mostly agree, but when I can't even get 2 YPC, I worry that its not my fault, but that the sliders are unnaturally difficult.

I will set these up in that dynasty that I sent you. Can you get through the preseason stuff tonight?

[footballfanatic1]

How long should the quarters be on your last set?

[Keyser Soze]

we play 7 minute in our dynasty.

Well guys these sliders are what I'm gonna stick with, great job.

My last game was in Year 2 of my Arizona Dynasty:

#14 Oregon (CPU, 7-2) @ #20 Arizona (Me, 8-1)

Final Score (Double OT):
Oregon 41
Arizona 38

Team Stats (OR/AZ)
1st Downs: 17/18
Total Offense: 387/353
Rushing Yards: 92/97
Passing Yards: 295/256
3rd Downs: 8-16/7-13
Red Zone: Oregon was 6-6 with 6 TDs!!!, AZ was 4-4 with 3 TDs
Turnovers: 2/4
Fumbles: 1/1
INT: 1/3 (I made bad reads...really bad...I like it though because I'm used to picking apart defenses)
Punts: 4/3

Scoring Summary:
OR: 7-yd TD pass
AZ: 9-yd TD pass
OR: 1-yd TD run
AZ: Fumble recovery for TD (Oregon ran an option on their own 3. The QB made a bad pitch and my DE jumped on it in the endzone)
AZ: 5-yd TD pass

21-14 Arizona leads at halftime

OR: 11-yd TD pass
OR: 1-yd TD run
AZ: 1-yd TD run

28-28 going into OT. Oregon wins the toss and chooses offense. EA let's be serious! Fix this!

OR: 5-yd TD pass (Two passes and a quick score...ouch)
AZ: 25-yd TD pass (3rd & 10 and I find my stud TE in the flats...tie game)
AZ: 21-yd FG (I get stuffed on 3rd & 1, decide to trust defense)
OR: 3-yd TD run (Trusting my defense was a bad decision)

Player stats:
OR QB: 26-35, 295 yds, 3 TD, INT, 74%, sacked 2 times
AZ QB: 21-30, 256 yds, 3 TD, 3 INT, 70%, sacked 3 times

OR HB: 10 car, 15 yds, 3 TD (He was worthless except on the goalline. Spread teams running football = terrible)
AZ HB: 22 car, 74 yds, TD (Had a tough time getting it going, long of 17

GAME NOTES***

I really enjoyed the game. The CPU QB was a little accurate for my taste but that's part of the game. His only INT was a hail mary and I user picked it. My INTs could have been avoided but like I said, I made a couple bad reads...that's life.

Running game was tough both ways. I had some nice runs but most of the time I was stuffed. It's fine though because my line is average and some runs were big losses.

PLAY OF THE GAME
I had a shot to win the game with a 49-yard field goal but they iced me and my kicker couldn't get enough behind it. There was a 4 mph wind I was kicking into and the ball bounced off the bottom of the post and was no good. I thought I nailed it haha...I like the ICE THE KICKER feature. It's neat and makes last second kicks more difficult, which should be the case.

Stew,

How are you doing in the OS Legends with AA sliders?

To me and some other guys AA is way too easy even with adjusted sliders. I'd rather have the CPU cheat a little than for it to be a rout 9 times out of 10.

I'm looking forward to using this set in the OS Pro league
