Warrior General Games

Alright,

I am in the military and the way we call for artillery/mortar fire is to Adjust Fire. That means you try to hit your target based on your own calculations, then when the round is short/over, you OVERCORRECT to BRACKET the target in alternating directions in order to close in on the target and get that "direct Hit"

Same can be done for the slider:

Here is how it works:

1. You think your Back is a high level elusive, capable of running on 99 or SE. Use 99 as the start point, because SE has too much disparity from 99.
--First scrimmage, run on 99
2. if you notice that your back was a REALLY elusive, try running on +35 (overcorrection) for the next scrimmage
3. If you see that he was not elusive enough, try running on 75 (overcorrect) in the third scrimmage
4. If you see that 75 was still too elusive, try running on +50. If you see that he is not running elusive enough, you know that the "direct hit" is between +75 and +50. HOWEVER, if he is running TOO elusive, you know that the "direct hit" is between 35 and 50.

That gives you some time during the regular season to do more bracketing, and you can be safe in knowing that he will not run like complete crap because you have a buffer zone that should be good enough to not screw up the game.

Also, if you already know that your player runs best between +99 and +50, like my HB, I have a smaller bracketing start point and it will take less games to get there.

Hope this helps. Maybe sticky? Can cut down on the "what should i run on" threads.

Explained by simple logic, but this should take care of the "Slider" threads.

Nice post and +1 for Sticky

i assume my back runs best at 25 power - 25 elusive...i will try this out

the 4 game preseason really helps in terms of testing

bump...before some guys have their head explode.

lol i like the idea

I ran my Lvl 24 ELusive back at -100 power, only 28 strength, he did very good, LOL.

I thought that would make Bort's servers explode. WHen got pissed with how my back was dancing too much, I just put him at balanced and he did a lot better. But the fun part is making an elusive thats not indecisive in the backfield. It would be funny if that was impossible to do.

But thats the fun part of the game.

Common sense?

cptafw163. Good info. This should help people who wouldn't think of this.

Glad to see someone could use a dose of common sense.

Let me know if you need tips on tying your shoe laces.

because everyone keeps asking this

what should I set my slider at? lvl 32, 28 strenght, 32 speed, 19 agility, 68 vision. All 10's in both powerback and elusive back SA's.

All good in theory but when you play such a variety of different teams from crap to decent its too much of a variable. You can go an entire season only playing 3 teams where the statistics are worth using and by the end of the season your vision/Agilitly/speed could be way different from the first game you played worth watching.

Maybe if there were less gutted/crappy teams or you were in a balanced league you could use this process but 90% of the time, your not going to get much out of your slider statistics when your defense has 20 less speed, agility, and vision.
