The deep ball is killin me and the cpu. New slider settings to combat it.

I was getting very frustrated with me and the cpu being able to complete 60% of all deep throws so I went extreme on the sliders....
CPU and Human (AA)
Awr 99(the game is mostly offensive so this is for the best anyway)
Knd 99
Int 5/10cpu
BB 00
Tak 00

QB 05/25cpu(as far as the deep ball is concerned acc seems to have no effect because the WR always has time to run under a bad pass anyway. 0-99% IMO has no effect. For short or intermediate throws it would matter so if you or the cpu's completion % is suffering raising this is a good idea)
PB 70/15(cpu)
WR 50
RBA 10/15cpu
RB 20/50cpu

I figured at these settings the rushing game would suffer and my completion % would drop alot. Not so, I only played 1 game last night(2nd year OSUme vs. Penn state) I threw for 60% and my HB got over 100 yrds. The cpu threw for 50% but his run game suffered, which I think could be fixed with adjusting his offensive rush sliders a few clicks. But I was impressed with the defense's ability to knockdown the deep ball.

Can someone lab this and see what you think..

The deep ball is easy to counter I think. If you are getting burn by the deep ball run Cover 3 or Cover 4. This will counter a majority of the deep ball. :eek:

Doesn't seem to matter. The DBs will not try to make a play without extreme slider settings. This is dynasty by the way not online. I went into practice mode and easily completed 60% of my deep passes in double coverage situations. Then I started a game vs Texas and was up 28-7 in the 1st quarter, 4 TD passes of over 50 yards a piece (money). Same with the cpu qb. After setting my sliders extreme I am seeing around 20% completion % on the deep ball. In real life that should be about 10-15% but what else can you do.

Funny thing is I labbed it on heisman level and completed more passes. The only thing I can think of is the WRs are better on heisman......

Anyone having a problem try this out and let me know.

Just wanted to update.

I played a full season and these played very well concerning the deep ball. My offense was still very productive but I didn't complete deep passes on a regular basis. The CPU run game needed adjusting so I put RBlock to 50, also I adjusted the CPUs QB ACC to 25 because they needed just a little help with short range passing,(I was seeing anywhere between 45-50% rates) hope to see the NCAA(real life) average of 55-57%.

About to restart my entire dynasty(Buckeyes) at these settings I'll update later.
