For some reason I’m a little surprised that you have the CPU run blocking at 25.
I had it at 50 for years but got tired of their offensive line pushing mine back 5 yards consistently on most runs. So moving it to 25 helped a little. Still gave a bunch of yards to that 99 OVR HB from Cal recently.
What if these have changed?
My latest sliders and settings are always listed above.
Any additional tips on stopping impact halfbacks? Feels like every time I face one they rush for 200+ yards and I get blown out.
Man Cover 2 defense and shifting your LB to the strong side of the offense’s formation (if any) has worked best for me. You do this to get them in the best position to hopefully make a tackle. Impact HBs will still get their yards in many games. I hope to either make a video or write a post in the Vault that goes into more detail about this. Most of my archive and written work will go there.
I have a few questions. 1. I play on All-American – the user and ai RB’s and WR’s constantly drop routine balls thrown. I believe there’s a bug in the game regarding this. I was under the impression that raising the CTH sliders for both user and ai would eliminate routine drops but that hasn’t been the case. What do you personally recommend to combat this?
2. For user and ai pass coverage – is it true the higher the slider setting makes the coverage less tight? What is your personal recommendation for both user and AI?
Thanks.
I have no idea about tighter coverage, it seems as tight regardless of change, but raising Catch sliders will help on both sides. Also keep in mind that players are allowed to drop passes, but this may not ever be good enough for you. Raise QB Accuracy too if you want. Playing on All American doesn’t help either since players play worse across the board comapred to Heisman. I always recommend to stick with default sliders until you play on Heisman then tweak from there.
I’m currently playing on All-American. User RB and WR drops remain persistent even with slider set at 99 for Catch. Also is it true that Pass Coverage user and ai slider setting at 0 actually makes the defender stick to offensive WRs like glue? What are your specific recommendations for these?
