I was just messing around with the sliders and I decided to try something unusual. I decided to test them on my dynasty with two evenly matched teams. To my surprise, I had the best game experience so far with 09. It actually was realistic (well by EA standards). I was able to slow down the computer's passing game (well better than I was anyway...unfortunately I don't think anything can be done to stop the automatic mid-range completions). The computer was able to mount a running game at least, so the quarterback did not throw for over 300 yards on me for the first time. My defensive backs and linebackers seemed to cover the pass a little better. When I had the ball, I did not get those long TD runs on option plays that seemed like automatic before. I did break a few long runs, but nowhere near as unrealistic as before. I also got stuffed a lot on the option, which was good. The computer also broke off some long runs (some of them because of my whiffing on tackles). Oh yea, I was actually able to get pressure on the QB a little more than I have before. Basically, the offense felt really good and the defense seemed a little more realistic. The final score was 27-21.
The strange factor is this...I set all the sliders to 100 for HUM and COM on everything except INT, which I set at 5 for both HUM and COM. I also adjusted special teams a little. I put FG ACC to 30 for HUM and COM. I put the FG Range to 30 (for both) as well. Kickoff Power was lowered to 35 for both.
I know it seems strange, but the gameplay was awesome. However, I only played one game with these sliders, so the jury is still out. But the first impressions were very good. I might get some enjoyment out of this game yet. If anyone tries these, let me know how they work out.
