So what's the Difficulty Level verdict?

When reading the thread:

Seems like some people are moving to Varsity Level, other to Heisman.

What seems to be the consensus, and why?

i'm staying at AA and i've just adjusted a few sliders to my liking and i've been having great games just about every time out. not just great games, "different" games if you will. for example, i just started a new Dynasty w/ Auburn and went into my first game vs. Ark. St. just assuming it would be easy, turns out, i was only up 7-0 going into the 4th qtr. every game to me seems to be a little different than the others so i've had no reason to play anything but AA the past few years. also, i've rarely seen any AI goofs at all, maybe once or twice, but not enough to make me mad.

I was playing on Varsity with Playmakers sliders before the 2nd patch and after the 2nd patch I didn't change a thing. I'm seeing no difference in game play for the cpu running game. Before the patch I was giving up 80-120yds rushing and post patch the numbers are the same. The only thing I have seen is cpu passing is way better.

I play on Heisman with minimal slider adjustments

CPU Acc-45
CPU Pass Block-35
CPU Wr Catching-45
CPU Run Blocking-55
Cpu Pass Coverage-45

I'm loving it. I'm getting blowouts and tight games. Anything lower then Heisman is too easy this year. On AA I played @ Alabama using Western Kentucky and I didn't feel challenged.

Default Heisman is good but the CPU passing game is too good and the defenders mirrored my WR's too much so I made those adjustments.

I would choose Heisman by a long shot. Plays much more fair this year and doesn't cheat like in past years. Provides a challenge.

Went back to AA. Jumped to Heisman but find the CPU cheats real bad to win. Miracle plays, LBs that jump better than guys in the Olympics and six guys in my backfield every time I tried to run in the 4th Quarter got old. In my last OD game I was tied 21-21 late in the game and missed a chipshot FG. I kicked the ball straight down the middle but the ball behaved like hurricane force winds came up and the ball mysteriously curved wide. Then the CPU completed a Lynn Swann-esque pass and kicked a Herculean FG as time expired to win 24-21. In another game I was up 21-8 and having my way with ND, but in the 4th quarter I suddenly couldn't make a single first down. ND won 22-21.

If I lose a legitimate game, fine. But when the CPU cheats to win...no thanks.

Same here. I've been getting really good games with those sliders, though I have had to adjust the cpu and user passing after the patch. Never really played on varsity before, but I'm really liking how the players act with those sliders

Heisman and I love it

AA is solid. I found that on Heisman you need to reduce the following items:

1) CPU RB Ability to 40 (eliminates the ridiculous broken tackles)
2) CPU Pass Block to 40
3) CPU Pass Rush to 40

Increase User:
1) Pass rush to 55 or 60
2) RB Ability to 55
3) Tackle to 55 or 60
