Authentic's 2012 Slider Project

[authentic]

Notes: Changes are in bold and red

1. First off, I would say that these are for the true SIM style players. I play a very realistic style of game and don't use the plays that I know will work all the time.

2. Second, these will be sort of a beta set of sliders for a bit. I have played a lot of games on All-Pro to get a good idea of what needs to be changed and would like you guys to help me test to get a variety of games for slider purposes. So please, play a lot of games and let me know how your games go.

What to expect:

1. Expect a game that produces realistic stats and realistic gameplay. I want these to be perfect for both play now games and franchise games.

2. Expect a game that isn't perfect. NFL games aren't always won by playing a perfect game or playing better than the other team.

Notes from the game.

User:
Passing- Felt really good. I was playing from behind and had to force some balls, McNabbs completion percentage shows that, even with accuracy at 45.
Rushing- Felt "ok". I might tighten up the CPU awareness 5 points, which should be just right.
Defense- Looked good. All 3 of my sacks came when the CPU was trying to throw deep, and all with one guy, maybe a little cause for concern.

CPU:
Passing- Felt awesome! The computer took some shots, maybe too often but it was realistic when they did.
Rushing- I will probably loosen up the user rush defense a little, but the CPU just didn't rush the ball that much. Probably increase the run block 5 ticks.
Defense- Absolutely unbelievable defense by the CPU. It was an intense game.

Side notes- The game honestly felt awesome. There may be need for some minor tweaks but overall, this is a great start. I don't know if I want to teak the threshold at all. Maybe take it down to 35ish.

Oh, by the way, the 2nd turnover for me, besides the interception was a fumbled punt return by Camarillo.

Couple more changes after playing a half against the Eagles:

All changes since the original post:
CPU Run Blocking from 55 to 65
CPU Rush Defense to 50
CPU Pass Blocking to 60
Player Broken Tackles to 50
Player Run Blocking to 50
Player Rush Defense Block Shedding to 45
Roughing the Passer penalty from 100 to 75.

I am going to start my dynasty and see how it works through the preseason to start.

I also changed the quarter length to 12 minutes as that is what will get the most realistic amount of plays.

Very nice. I might have to try these out. Thanks for your hard work!
