Please post a link to your sliders. Or simply post them here. I personally bought an xbox360 slim about a year ago just to play this game. I don't have any other game for the xbox360 except NFL2k5.

The game never functioned properly without a good marriage of properly edited rosters and matching sliders. Even then some of the glitches were seen, primarily the DB slow down in coverage. Having said that it was still typically a great human vs. cpu experience and person to person, when you got in with the right (sim-minded) crowd.

Care to further elaborate on why sliders were needed? I have never felt the need to fiddle with slider sets for any sports game. I simply go with default, once in a while maybe changing time per quarter but that's practically it.

I've had very enjoyable games with the CPU with the default out of the box slider set.

On the defaults with stock rosters, the biggest issue I remember was the game being an interception-fest - the CPU QB's made some truly awful decisions on throwing into coverage.

I had a lot of fun with the game too - and APF (which pretty much eliminated said QB issues). But you really did need the edited rosters to really bring out the full potential of the game, IMO.

Wow, since 2K3 (of any sport) I haven't been able to play a game without sliders. It's like watching an uncalibrated TV... hell, it's like leaving the house without attending to your hygienic needs. The world opens up for you when fine-tuned to perfection.

To attempt getting realistic gameplay and game stats (though it never produced that AND simmed stats; you had one or the other).
