The God Switch aka Byron's essential sliders

ALL SLIDERS ARE THE SAME. This is after at least 30 games with the awareness slider split, it just inbalances the game.

25 pass acc 50 pass block 25 catch 50 rb abi 75 run block
50 awareness 25 knock down 25 int 50break block 25 tackle
100fg p 50 fg a 100p p 75p a 25 ko p

Game Rules

15 min quarters, every penalty at 100 except FACEMASK, HOLDING, D PASS INT & CLIPPING. These 4 should be at 50, no less, no more.

House Rules: You can bend these, just dont break them! Use this as a general guidline to playing.

Up 20+ or preseason, only use unlearned plays whenever possible
Up by 10-19, start using unlearned plays on first and 2nd down on offense and defense
UP by 3-9, start using learned plays on first and 2nd down on offense and defense
Even - Do as you please, just punt or kick fgs if its more than 4th and inches to keep it real
Down 3-9, start playing more aggressive, you can go for it on as much as 4th and 3
Down 10-19, mastered plays! Go for it if you're on their side of the 50 and its 4th & 5 or late in 4th Qtr
Down 20+ Only mastered plays that have high success scores(unless you're trying to tank the game)

Re: The God Switch aka Byron's essential sliders

I totally agee about defensive awareness-it's the master slider that affects everything. I'd be interested in any stats you have on these-also why you have CPU defensive awareness higher than User. My impression has always been-if CPU was higher or matched with User, the CPU gameplay seemed more ineffective than if it was lower.I've got CPU Defensive Aawreness 40, User 48 for now-and it seemed to give the CPU better gameplay.

OLD SLIDER SET, NOT FINAL.

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B64...1VudGl2UUtPVzg

I just made a folder with photos of all the stat screens I could at half and at the end of the game.

Im the redskins, we scored 7 in the first, 14 in the 2nd and then my backups got shut out. Luckily we only gave up 16 points. Run game wasnt there today but both teams are pretty stacked up front.

Starting offense did alright, backup qbs couldnt get anything going. Neither team threw for more than 300 yards in only 8 mph wind, no other weather. Total offense was in the 400s.

250yds in punts for both teams give or take.

culpepper threw 3 int to my starting d, they got one on my backup qbs. Only one fumble and we gave it up, so it was 3 to 2 turnovers us. We won the turnover battle which won us the game...

Tell me you dont like those stats.......

Re: The God Switch aka Byron's essential sliders

So, can you repost your final sliders with the edit? I've been using the same slider set for a long while now, I'll try yours with my Raiders franchise and see if I like the results better. And by results I mean realistic/balanced stats of course, not merely wins.

Re: The God Switch aka Byron's essential sliders

I updated the sliders to where I think they'll end tonight. Prolly be back at it tomorrow but they're REALLY CLOSE to perfect. Just trying to get a little more run game going so I can see a 200 yd game once in a while...

But Aurabolt, I made this set in order to hopefully lose 2-8 games a year depending on staff, roster and playbook/philosophies/draft path. You should play a whole game, not just a half or quarter if you want to test these. Honestly it would be better if you played an entire preseason and or first 4 games of a regular season and or playoffs. Really any 4 game stretch where you might have different weather and matchups.

I dont want to go perfect unless its grueling! The teams that dont put up a fight will now at least try to come back. Injuries and play calling/game planning are critical now. Teams that used to be good anyways can destroy you if you dont make sure you call the right plays in certain situations. If you call the wrong play, it could go to the house on you(on off or def), and there are more big runs but not too many.

Just played the 1st game of the season against carolina(with my all injury redskins). 26-23, won because of a pass interference call at the 26 on a hail mary from our 25, got the last field goal with 0:00 on the clock(game cant end on a def penalty. They only gave us like 15 seconds left when they kicked the ball to us. Back and forth all game, Really fun. Cant let the cpu pick too many plays or they might lose it for you! This was with KEN DORSEY AS THEIR STARTING QB AND JULIUS PEPPERS INJURED FOR THE PANTHERS!!!!!

Cant believe it was so tight but I let the cpu call a lot of plays, especially the first of every drive and after any offensive penalty. You only get 25 seconds to pick a play in these 2 situations so I always let the cpu do it.

Just understand no slider set can be absolutely perfect so you also have to combine in a little house rules to make it enjoyable. I use unlearned and learned plays once I get up by 10 a lot more often. If Im down though, I use more mastered and learned. I tend to pick calls from play knowledge unless I know the exact play I want in a situation.

Also if you get to even 4th & 1 punt or fg unless you're down by ANY AMOUNT. 4th and inches is the only thing I'll go for unless like I said, IM down and want to make a comeback. Once Im up by 14+ I usually use unlearned plays on 1st and 2nd down then learned on 3rd. Helps your team to learn the entire playbook and keeps games closer and more interesting.

Re: The God Switch aka Byron's essential sliders

I finished playing the wild card came with the original set, not the edits you recently made Byron. I heard bad things about putting sliders at 0 or 100, so I went with Picker's special teams sliders. I lost to the Chargers 30-27-by comparison, I beat them 38-24 with my original set.Sorry, no pictures.

Passing-both QBs had about a 60% completion rate, but the Chargers pass defense is very bad. 4 interceptions for my QBs, but a lot of those were situational and low intangibles by my QBs.

Rushing-Tomlinson had 80 rush yds, but he got a lot of those late. His inside runs were shutdown by the 3-3-5, he had more success running outside.I had about 60, but I should have run more.

Defense-Pretty good for 2 playoff teams. I had a fumble returned for a TD, Cromartie returned a INT for a TD. One thing I look at with defense is punts, that teams aren't scoring on each possession. An average of 4 punts for each, so there were defensive stops.

Pass rush- as you noted, a bit low for sacks. I also saw 4 pancakes by the Chargers, but that might be a function of their playbook. 2 sacks for each team, but I expect move those sliders back to default will help there.

Overall-a good slider set for a new team-maybe the best right now for starting a career-even better than my 48/40 set. I will be following to see how it does with a good coaching staff and good team once you get 4-5 years in. If it doesn't hold up as well at that point, both Picker's 40/20 set and Set 3 will serve to give challenge to a good team. I will use this set the next couple of years, will report back after each season.

Re: The God Switch aka Byron's essential sliders

I promise you aura use st with the others please. Dead legs cant kick any farther on fg and punts dont go far enough on 90 so i dropped it to 95. Kickoffs dont usually tb unless you have 99 kp and some wind. Bad kickers are as bad as they should be, 100 fg power just makes it so 95+ kpw guys can get it 60-65 yards. Theyre still as inaccurate as ever! I promise.

Im getting games like you described in year 4 right now!

EDIT(fixed interceptions. I should have been listening to picker and myself when we said dont touch knockdowns). At 50 its fine again, no 3 int by one team in a half. Only exception to that rule now is if the qb throwing them is just god awful and the defense defending him makes a living off interceptions(aka amazing secondary with hands and ALL the int special skills + blockshedding one and it still will be rare!) I have the first 3 on the dc and the first 2 db related special skills on john lynch still only get 2 in a half against lesser qbs...

Re: The God Switch aka Byron's essential sliders

Not final slider set
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B64...GNfVWNvSGNxa0U

This is week 3 of 2011 regular season against the bears. Ive only played one half so this is halftime stats. Got interrupted while writting a post on ebons topic so I got thrown off my time schedule. Luckily I kept the system on and the controller active so it didnt turn off! Im gonna finish the game and post pics of the end of game stats.

Newest thoughts(possible future tweaks)
Im thinking of splitting human and cpu passing accuracy(like defensive awareness). I need more time, but I believe I will end up at pickers 20 for qba on HUMAN, and 30 on CPU. Might go as high as 35 on cpu as mrs has said he liked it there and I have found it favorable as well. Im just trying to make an AVERAGE passing day 250 yds by great qbs and a better than avg game over 300. I want it to be difficult for both sides to reach that number so less qbs throw for 4000 yards, and only 1 will go over 5k hopefully at that point.

This is all still in testing though so only use this tweak if you are having trouble with COMPETITION. If teams that should be are throwing all over you, you do NOT need to make this tweak. I just have an AMAZING secondary.... it may become part of the next set though. Keep an eye on it at least, dont want cpu stats too low. This tweak will not happen before I finish this game, it will be on the next game's pics, not the end of game pics for this week 3 matchup against the bears.

Re: The God Switch aka Byron's essential sliders

This game was PRIOR TO THE FINAL SLIDER SET. I WILL PUT NEW PICS UP OF A GAME IN THE 1st year of the DOLPHINS. It will prove that not even motivator can over power the game now!

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B64...jNoUEJnMVBhSFU

This is the final tally from the bears redskins week three matchup in 2012 of the ozzie jones draft path. Im thinking of pausing this career here and opening my bears one(English draft path). I think its in the same year, not sure though, maybe 2011.

That way I can see how these sliders affect a totally different team in totally different scheme playbook etc! Even the special skills are different, so we'll see just how different a game we get.

Notes about the game in the link
First thing I want you to know is that Joseph addai, not fred jackson is the STARTING HB of the bears.

We were missing chris cooley at te(big key to my offense) and also the biggest man on the field, DOKI SOMANU for this game. Our sacks were low(3, 2 by re 1 by rookie dt) because of this but still on par with an average aggressive defense.

Their's sacks were low too (0), but we have an amazing oline and they run a NO BLITZ 4 man rush cover 2 all game. Yes, that means lovie smith is still the coach of my beloved bears in this 2011 season). How are 4 guys gonna get sacks when they vs an all pro oline? SEND SOME BLITZERS DAMNIT!(sorry, went off on a tangent)

Now heres the beauty of the cover 2, no sacks, but 3 interceptions against tristan riley in his first year as a starter(sat behind noah wyoming his rookie season last year). In contrast we only got 2 int I believe. Fumbles were in line for a rainy day, think 1 a piece...

Rushing yards? Both running teams gave their backs at least 25 carries for over 125 yards each. Donsay smith(my rb for redskins) had a respectable 25 when you realize I didnt run the ball in the first quarter(dont blame me, blame the cpu)! Fred Jackson had 145 yards on 31 carries. This, my friends, is football.

If you look at the general stats for the bears and redskins, only 1 player missed a lot of assignments. That was fred jackson with 14, no one else got more than 3. That alone will tell you how these sliders effect everything. A backup the caliber of Fred Jackson.

I could go on and on about how awesome these sliders are but you have to try them to believe em...

Hit me with some feedback guys, and tell your friends. There's a new sheriff in town, and it aint madden 13(yet at least, gotta play to see if the hype is real). Its name? Nfl Head Coach 09!
