Yes I've also had games where nothing went right lol It's simply a case where so many gamers have many different takes and gameplay styles. That's why there are no end all, be all, perfect slider sets, period.

Im seeing exactly the same. One game me LE had 6 sacks, 5 in the first half. All on 4 man rushes. With the CPU controlling him for 4 of them. I put QB accuracy at 30 i believe and im seeing 60% and less completion percents. Now i am playing with South Alabama vs Low rated teams. But i do like what i see.

Not sure how much I'm actually going to veer from default this year. The only thing I've seen that's caught my eye so far is QBA for the CPU, and I think I've found an answer for it.

Difficulty: Heisman (O)/All-American (D)
Speed: Normal
Threshold: 50

Sliders:

QBA = 5/5
CPU Run Blocking = 60
HUM Rush Defense = 45
KOP = 40/45
FGA = 5/45

Florida (me) vs Toledo

Score: 23-20 (Overtime)
Passing: 20/27, 228 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT's (UF), 23/33, 214 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Running: 40 attempts, 149 yards, 2 TD's, 1 Fumble (UF), 34 attempts, 64 yards, 1 TD, 0 Fumbles

Notes:

• Easily one of the best games I've ever played. I was down 10-0 at first, but slowly felt the momentum shift back in my favor. I was up 17-10 before Toledo put together a drive with a minute or two to go.
• Each team had four sacks a piece. Most of theres were via their QB trying to scramble.
• I was great defensively. A fluky pass at the end of the half for about 60 yards + OT boosted their passing numbers, but I thought I defended it well for the most part.
• Turnover's almost cost me the game. I gave them the ball twice in my territory, both leading to scores.
• The last play of the game was awesome. It was a pitch play from the 2 yardline to Kelvin Taylor. He lowered his shoulder and knocked the defender to the ground, and put his hand down and reached for the endzone to score.
• I'm going to do my best to find a sweetspot for the CPU Offense. It's somewhere between Heisman and AA for me. Heisman is great for the running game, AA is great for the passing game.
• The game is finally fun again. I found myself worrying about absolutely nothing outside of winning the game. Everything else looked fine.

Not true. Playing a test franchise with auto named rosters as we speak.

Not happening at all in my dynasty. ECU is ranked 87 with 1 4*, 2 3*, and 6 2*. Florida is 15, LSU is 25 (did have a bad year) and ULL has no 5 or 4*s.

so far playing...a few weeks into an offline dynasty

The CPU has only chosen to receive once...which is fine

Also has anyone else noticed that the play of the game...only the ball is shown and everyone is invisible?

Might have been reported before, but i have not caught up with this thread much - only read up to page 18

USA has field turf. We haven't had too many rainy home football games.

Main problem with the game right here, CPU ball carrier falls down way too much from the slightest touch:
