Armor & Sword's CFB 25 Custom Dynasty Mode Sliders
Armor & Sword's College Football 25 Custom Dynasty Mode Sliders
Welcome to our Slider thread. So this is a first time slider thread for me with EA's College Football series. We have always developed Madden, The Show and 2K but this will be our first attempt to give the community a really solid base slider set. My initial thoughts are we will test on All American and go from there. I also want to talk about several things before we embark on this journey to provide again.....a solid base set for the community to tweak to their skill level and wants and needs. For those of you who do not know me.....I have been around here for some 15 years now? Jeez.....it's been that long!! I have been playing console sports video games hardcore since 1979. I am a pioneer console video gamer. I have been developing and sharing slider sets since 2003. Some ground rules we have here: 1. We are a highly positive nest here. We will not respond to trolls, vile negativity and questions without substance and mitigating factors backing it up. I don't really swim in the general forums, nor pay attention to youtubers and non simulation minded players. I make up my own mind about the game and share constructive feedback, tips and ideas in a mature manner. 2. Constructive feedback is always welcomed but "these are too easy" comments won't even be acknowledged. I am 54 years young. I look to have fun first and foremost. Sample Size is so critical folks......give the sliders and game time to breath. Play at least 12 games to really get a feel of what this set provides then make up your mind. If they are not for you...hey that's cool. We have other highly talented slider gurus here at OS. 3. "It's your universe" - In Dynasty mode...anything goes! It's your game. Have fun with it. Storylines are the foundation of having a long and rewarding experience. Yes we want to get some realism (well as much as we can).....my ultimate goal is to have the game feel and play and look like what you see on Saturdays (and Thursday nights). Will it be perfect? Of course not....but we can get it close. I am a totally clean screen player (as much as the game allows me to be) so also know we try to shut off all aides if we can. 4. I am at heart a "feel the game" slider maker. For those who have followed me for years and have used my slider sets on The Show and Madden you guys know what I am all about. I do not and will not let statistics bog me down. If the game is fun and feels great....MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. 5. Share your stories - we always welcome folks to share their game moments, great storylines and dynasty highs and lows.....that's what it is all about. 6. Please just don't be a doo*sh. It's really simple. Be excellent to each other here. So that covers it. I do ask for a lot of patience in this process. We have a brand new game 11 years in the making and a lot of "stuff" to sort thru. Here is my promise. I will absolutely be working to provide a fair, balanced and most importantly fun set of sliders that you can either play value for value or tweak to your taste. I am also going to really test different levels of schools. 134 plus schools means there is no such thing as a one size fits all so we are going to really hone in what sliders may need different values for 1 and 2 star schools vs 4 and 5 star schools. I want you to struggle with 1 and 2 star schools like you should but I also want that big upset to happen in your 4 and 5 star dynasties as well as a huge victory with your 1 or 2 star school. So patience is critical as I have a lot to go thru. Road To Glory - YES!!! I am also going to play Road to Glory and will post any tweaks needed for your RTG as a QB/RB. Those are the only two positions I will play as. Most likely a QB. Again that will come later down the line and should not be too much different (if at all from the core Dynasty Human vs CPU set). One more thing you should know about me.......once I lock in my final set....it's off we go into our proper Dynasty run. We will stream every single game of our Dynasty/Dynasty's as well as our RTG at some point. We do make adjustments if needed from updates but generally speaking.....we don't get Slideritis......just not in our blood. Let's have fun everyone. I look forward to seeing a lot of you on the streams and interacting here on OS.

Pre Snap Line Adjustments and ID'ing the Mike LB Below in this link is an outstanding video explaining what all the different OL adjustments are (slider protections, ID the Mike, etc) and how to use them. I highly suggest everyone watch it. https://forums.operationsports.com/f...ion-cfb25.html

The Running Game 101 and cooling down potential holding and blocks in the back
Running the football is a huge part of the college game. With 134 teams and all kinds of different schemes and playbooks and skill levels....you may find yourself a run heavy team and relying on the run to set up the pass. Here are some quick hitter tips in order to get better and limit your penalties.
1. Lay off the turbo button - We have played enough to already see if you find your lane, hole...hit it and lay off the turbo till you get to the second level. Take the 3,4,5.6 yard gains without having to jam your sprint button. When you lay off the sprint button you will see holding calls calm down a lot. Our penalty sliders have been tuned to about as close to a realistic simulation as can be and I highly suggest you use those values to a "T". Use your side step moves to navigate thru the lanes (slight feather on the left stick right or left) and run north and south. On outside zone running plays use that cut back lane effectively. And sometimes...just be resolved to take the loss or 1-2 yard gain when nothing is there.
2. Line Adjustments - The topic above this one really explains how you can slide your blocking either full or half to become more effective at run blocking based on the "look" you are seeing in the box. And don't be afraid to audible! Again "ID'ing the Mike" is a huge part of football and success in pass protection and running the football.
3. Know your personnel, know their special abilities as well. Know their weakness's. Know your opponent and learn to make adjustments to your play calling. The new Adaptive AI is a real game changer on CFB 25.
4. Sink your teeth into your playbook and learn how to use RPO's and option plays. Once you unlock that skill....this game goes to new levels of fun and excitement. Use the practice field to run all kinds of different running plays and find your big 12 that you know are your bread and butter and then find another special 12 to unleash after lulling the defense into your Big 12. The adaptive AI will shut you down if you keep giving them the same looks and formations over and over.
5. If you are having a tough time...slowly move up your run blocking slider. You can do it in increments of 5 till you find your sweet spot.
6. Penalty Sliders, coaching adjustments and the running game - Your team ratings, wear and tear, fatigue all play a major factor. I feel like we have really nailed penalties and they are not overdone at all. You will have critical holding or black in the back calls in the course of a game that's football. So use the above tips and....your coaching adjustments in your playbook screen. Click down your RS (R3) and the menu of your coaching adjustments will pop up. Set your OL to conservative to lower the aggressiveness of your offensive line in run and pass blocking. While this will curb your RNG chances for a penalty.....it will make your running game and pass protection harder to manage....so again pre snap adjustments on your OL are CRITICAL.
Adaptive AI Setting When you create Your Coach/Edit Your Coach
When creating your HC/OC/DC in the front end of starting up a new Dynasty you have an Adaptive AI option toggle. 1. Aggresive I suggest Balanced to start and if you see you are gaming the CPU more often than not move it up to Aggressive and if you are simply getting slaughtered too often and feel your talent and ratings are not reflected go to Conservative The great thing is you can change this inside your edit coach menu within dynasty mode after you are into your season. The other settings are for simulated games only. Aggression sliders for both Offense and Defense and the Hurry Up
2. Balanced
3. Conservative
