I know these sliders are supposed to be challenging (and they are), but my defense is full of beasts, so my defense should be beast Having lots of fun with these sliders!

Damn how did you get your defense loaded up like that? Haha! So it sounds like you been having alot of low scoring games. Thats good..

Give me a whole run down on where you have your sliders at so I can see what your working it when you get a chance.. Maybe some other guys might wanna go with the tweaks you made that are having trouble in certain areas..

Okay, I'll post them later. But all I did was I signed Aso in FA (not too unrealistic, since he said he wants to play for Ryan), and I traded my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd to draft Patrick Peterson #1 overall. I restructured a few players' contracts to make room for his max contract, and the after week 1 the next season, I traded a 1st for Earl Thomas. Got him kinda cheap, but I had done bad the previous season, so my 1st was worth a lot, plus the Seahawks suck, so it doesn't make a huge difference. I run 46 speed exclusively. Here's my starting lineup:

LE: Ellis
RE: Pace (since I run 46 speed, I don't use OLBs, so I switched him to DE, where he destroys)
DT: Jenkins, Pouha
LOLB: Wilson
ROLB: Cromartie
MLB: Harris
CB: Peterson, Aso, Revis


BEAST

Nice... Yea post them later when you get a chance. I'm curious to see the sliders your working with..

Well, before I post them, I do have to note that I'm using Mark Sanchez, so I had to make passing a bit easier (INTs by a lot [CPU still gets them], and reaction by 5 (because at 100 EVERY curl route was a pick 6). Also lowered break tackle for user, since Shonn Greene is a beast, and I raised run blocking a bit, since even the Titans' DL was living in my backfield. Now have a solid 4.3 YPC with Greene, which is realistic. Have thrown 4 TDs and 5 INTs with Sanchez, with 350 yards, and 53% completion, which is also realistic. And like I said, I made run defense easier for me because even when sending the house every time, the HBs used to get like 200 yards rushing. Now, they get 100> per game, which I think is still a bit too high to compare to real life, but my pass D makes up for it. I gotta eat dinner now, then go to my surgeon's office and physical therapy for my knee, but I'll post my tweaks.

Oh, and the biggest change I made was I put threshold at 0. I have a fast defense (Patrick Peterson 99 speed), so it cuts down on the big plays.

And for Peterson's 99 speed, it's pretty awesome. I always press him (just like LSU did in real life), and he barely ever gets beat. If he does, he can catch up with his 99 speed. And he's the best tackling CB, with 93 tackle, so he's very good. It's pretty bad when Revis is your 3rd best CB

Its like theyre no trying to decide if they should run or pass block, they just block? Thats what it looks like, but I could be wrong too.

Ok I just tried it out.. You were right the were reacting to the run real good. Lead blocking getting up the field. But once I decided to pass it seems like the were just letting Dlineman run through untoched so I guess dropping the priority down some might help it out a little if your more of a smash mouth runner. But you were right.. I'm going to leave it like it is though..

Oh ok.. Yea I have the threshold at 0 too. I love it like that with Very fast game play..

Damn Petersons speed is 99? Thats cool.. I'm going to start my franchise over and go get NCAA so I can download the rosters.. I know my friend is going to want to get Peterson.. He always gets a corner with his 1st pick. What is the skill level of the Corner coming out of Nebraska?

Yeah, I'm using swile's draft classes. Really accurate, except Marcell Dareus is always ridiculously high-rated...like 99 every time. I just re-uploaded the classes until Dareus was 25 (so he wouldn't be dominating the NFl for like 15 years), and I noticed Peterson's 40 time was 4.23, which is always 99 speed. Kinda realistic, as Peterson said he was going to run 4.2> at the combine.

As for Prince Amukamara, I forgot. It changes every time, but in mine I think he's in the mid 80's.

Kinda unrealistic to have so many high-rated rookies, but in 10 years, for example, there will be just as many 90-99 rated players as there are now. with retirings and everything.

But yeah, he's just a beast. He also has 99 jumping, and 68 catching. Trying to get the catching up 80 (once his man coverage is 99 and press is mid-90's in a few seasons, I'll switch him to WR after the season so he can progress in catching). He's only 22, so by the time he's like 27 he'll be like a Deion Sanders.

You should have let Dareus stay like that.. He suppose to be the top pick. Wait is he coming out already close to a 99 without having to progress to that? What does Cam Newton come out as? I should have did this a long time ago. I can't wait to see all the players..
