Defensive Run/Pass Sliders for Dynasty

[youALREADYknow]

HookemHorns created great Offensive Run/Pass sliders for dynasty, but nobody has worked on Run/Pass for Defense that I know of. I used team stats from the last 3 years and took coaching changes into account to produce Defensive Run/Pass sliders for my dynasty. The formula to get the slider is based on passing yards allowed, rushing yards allowed, and deviation from the mean. The team is shifted towards their stronger side of the ball statistically.

Example: TCU has had one of the best run defenses in the country each year, but an average pass defense. Their formula ended up with a Run/Pass around 15.

Example: Big XII teams generally have bad pass defense statistically because of the great passing offenses each year in the conference and fewer rushing attempts than other conferences. Most teams in the conference end up with a low number.

I've tested these in the sim engine and the defensive stats are much more accurate than with the default run/pass sliders. Defensive sliders for tendencies are less accurate than offensive because the results depend on the opponent's play calling, but there is still an obvious improvement.

Thanks youalreadyknow. I'll be inputting these in the dynasty I'm getting ready to start up (finally).

Is there any need to adjust the aggressiveness slider for defense?

Also, where are the playbooks someone came up with reduce the amount of QB Read/Choice plays run by the CPU?

Thanks again.

I'm testing aggression sliders separately and should have a finished set soon.

I'm not sure about the playbooks question since I leave all teams with their default playbook. I haven't seen the QB Read play called enough in a game to become a huge problem yet.

Awesome! The next time we have to take our OD offline I'm going to input these.

Are you still on the PS3 version or have you moved to the PS2 version? You seemed totally distraught with the PS3 game a week or so ago.

I've also made changes to a couple of the HookemHorns offensive Run/Pass sliders which mainly account for coaching changes and/or new coordinators styles. I'll post those when I get on my home computer. Two big changes were SMU and Hawaii to account for June Jones's move from Hawaii to SMU this year.

Do you have a list of the teams that need their base defenses changed. like byu runs 3-4 and utah runs 4-2-5.

LOL. I'm a joke. I am still on PS3. I actually traded it in, then bought it back after actually picking up a PS2 and NCAA 09. I had the PS2 and NCAA 09 for about 20 hours and said to myself "Why the hell did I just buy a PS2 for this game?". It just wasn't worth it in my mind.

Anyway, NCAA Football makes me .

Could you post these and the aggression sliders? The Defensive Sliders really give great sim results.
