Matt10's Heisman PS3 Sliders

[FirstTimer]

yeah i think these are great too. people will always need to make some mods depending on their preference for results. plus using powerhouse teams as a test might give me different results than using C or D teams. But i think they are playing great and giving me the type of games i am looking for.

matt, what team are u in the stats your reporting?

In the last one he was Virginia.

On the plus side it's great not being able to tell who is the user based on just looking at the stats. In past years when the game was fucked up no matter how much you tweaked it you could always tell who the CPU was because of a crazy low/high total in one category.

Uh :nanadance:

I posted it in the post before I post the game, my bad. Last game I was Virginia.

Just finished Virginia (me) vs BC. Lost 27-17.

This game was knotted at 10-10 towards the end of the third quarter, until the one option play I decide to do backfired.

That option play completely ruined momentum, on top of that the next play we threw a pick, which set up a field goal to make the margin farther. BC did a good job in containing Mack, and even better job pressuring Verica - although he's not a terribel QB, has some nice accuracy on him - doesn't help that Green was catching the balls when it mattered the most.

Also, I upped USER Catch to 45 (from 40), I think per some of your feedback, that was a necessity because the wide open catches alone had to be made - and not only that, the drops were happening for guys rated in the 70s-80s on cat rating.

I've decided to use Virginia for my Dynasty (to be reported here on OS, and others), think they are a solid group - and I've always admired the tradition.

Virginia: 14 first downs, 5-13 (38%), 3 TO (2 fum, 1 INT), 467 total yds, 17:16 TOP
BC: 16 first downs, 7-16 (43%), 0 TO, 363 total yds, 25:29 TOP
---
Virginia Passing: Verica, 18/37, 274 yds, 2 TD, INT
Virginia Rushing: Mack, 17 att, 49 yds
Virginia Receiving: Green, 3 rec, 111 yds, 2 TD (91 yd long)
---
BC Passing: Shinskie, 21/31, 218 yds, TD
BC Rushing: Harris, 23 att, 77 yds, TD
BC Receiving: Pantale, 6 rec, 92 yds

*noteworthy: Virginia sacked QB 6 times. Conrath (2), Hil (2), Jenkins (1), Windle (1)

that game against wake looks great. They are rushing very well and have the advantage in TOP nice to see.

BTW, nice pitch

At the moment I'm trying to determine the punt return and KO return yards - they need to be improved dramatically, something I think is defective with the game, and not sure sliders can fix it.

So far my solution has been a presnap drop back a player (preferably on the line) all the way back.

Doing this results in about +3 yard once get past the gunners.

Also, modified in first page:

USER Catch - 40 (from 45)

i remember last year that if u turned up RB ability or Run Block to much it would screw up returns by allowing them to be too easy. I dont think that would be the case this year since they seemed to have tweaked this dramatically so u cant gain many yards

why the change in user catch?

 

[Matt10]

This.

I like the sliders thus far, but I find that on slow something is off. On normal speed I find it to be a better fit.

I won't make a big deal about that, I think it's definitely down to preferences. Imho, slow on Heisman to the naked eye looks like a difficult AA from years past

I sold NCAA 10 the same week I got it, so I dont remember last years. I do know the year before that and NCAA 08 had issues. This year it's not easy at all, but I just scored a kick return for a TD (paused to post) so there is some hope. Now for PR.

Oh, and the user catch was misprint - sorry, it was 45 (from 40).

I played through my ND dynasty just to get a feel for it kinda, as I rushed through a lot of it. I went undefeated and won the Rose Bowl over Boise State. ( i lold at an undefeated ND not in the title game, thats not the BCS bias I was looking for.

The only games that werent complete blowouts were Utah/USC/Boise St

But it wasnt close. I finished with a top 5 defense, and a top 10 passing attack. Now I know ND is overrated so I need help to give a boost to the CPU for when I play my more indepth ND dynasty. Which ones do you guys suggest improving to get better games.

I can play close games on Heisman without slider adjustments, but the CPU cheeses/robo qbs to gain that advantage. So Im trying to get a more challenging sim ball game.

Any help?

 

[Maynard]

as someone whose always been anti heismen/all madden, i must say that i dont feel like the CPU is cheating me on heismen in this game.

the only gripe i have is they always seem to know what i am calling on offense. If i run right, they shade their dee that way. if i run left they shade that way. It bugs me.

So i tried on AA and found that the cpu was doing the same thing so i said fuck it and stayed on heismen cause i dont want to try and make sliders for AA

i am using my own set based off matts but with changes that suit my liking and style of play

 

[Maynard]

i wish they had a fumble slider. They always seem to come at the wrong time and sometimes result in a TD. I just played #2Ohio St at #4Oregon. It was 10-9 and they had been shutting me down since the 1st when i was up 10-3. So 3rd Q and i was driving up 10-9 and they once again hold me and u felt they had the momentum. Their next drive and their HB fumbles it and i return it for a TD. they ended up tieing the game at 17 and i won 24-17 and it was a great game.

Point is that those types of fumbles always seem to happen at the wrong time. Its not like i was trying to strip the ball. I was just making a routine tackle and ball pops out. i would rather not have those kinds of things happen when the CPU feels they are needed to happen. I guess thats college football though

[Matt10]

I played a game and love these. I'm using them for my dynasty. A few too many fumbles, though.

Drop tackling to both sides at 45-50. I'm still testing the tackling slider due to the amount of fumbles after "big hits".
