Re: All my true gamers respond please...
I've come to find that there are no "perfect" slider sets for realism. What works for one doesn't always work for another. We all have different playing styles, use different teams, and have several other variances that contribute to each of us having different outcomes. I haven't done a lot of slider tweaking and testing for this year's game because I have become too frustrated with this series on the next generation consoles to even want to mess with them at this point. In the past though, I have spent many hours tweaking and testing sliders and trying suggestions from others.
The thing I've found the most helpful in trying to find a set that I'm comfortable with and that seems realistic to me is taking 5 or 6 popular slider sets and looking at the slider numbers that are similar, and those that are miles apart. I compare those to what I'm currently playing with and see if I agree or disagree with their numbers, based on my playing style or experiences. Sometimes I find a happy medium quickly, other times it becomes a matter of trial and error over and over to see what works best for me. Very rarely have a found a set of sliders that someone is using that I'm able to use and have their same results, but I am able to use their sliders as a base, considering their reasoning and rationale for using certain numbers. I just go from there and see what I come up with. Sometimes I am happy with what I am using, and other times I'm constantly tweaking trying to get it just right. Honestly, sliders are the best and worst thing to happen to video games in my opinion. They're kind of like having a good looking girl that you have fun with and are happy being around, yet you're still looking around to see what everyone else has and think that they're girl might be just a bit better. LOL I often fall into the obsessive game of slider tweaking to the point that I don't get as much value and fun from a game as I should because I'm always looking for something while playing to justify moving a slider up or down or leaving it where it is. It's a sick disorder. LOL
