Ashes Cricket General Discussion

I agree but like FIFA you can get obsessed with them and tweak and tweak and tweak. 9/10 changes are all in the head.

Wholeheartedly agree with this, too easy to lose fact you are supposed to be playing game for fun and not spend all your time changing values

Down to choice... Some choose to tweak their experience and others not... !

There’s a website I stumbled on that are known for there Fifa slider tweaking... to get the ultimate simulation.

I soon found out that actually all they did was tweak, then every update they needed to tweak again.. and by the time they had settled on settings the year had gone past no one had played a season or career or anything and the new game was out and they start again.

For me, I think sliders is just an easy way to please people. As everyone wants something different.

The game out the box plays fine for me.

I don’t touch the sliders.

While I generally like the sliders (no way I could go back to the default ball pace as it just feels so slow for me now) I'm not sure the "Human Edge Chance" slider is the optimal solution to the problem, not least because the sliders don't affect online which seems to be a big issue for people. We have all these different difficulty levels/sliders already so it's a little weird to me how we haven't managed to get the balance of edges right in Ashes, I don't remember it ever being something people complained about in DBC17? Now (similar to a few other things actually) we seem to bounce between two extremes.

Yup, I follow that thread on operation sports and it does appear that way. Restarting careers/seasons all the time is a shit way to play a game

People have too much time on their hands

im also a member of the os forum and tbh the current fifa 18 community slider settings have remained the same for months.yes there are times when tweaks are needed but not every update involves major gameplay changes therefore no action needed.And you certainly dont need to start a new career mode etc all you do is change the sliders

So... having the sliders in the game make no difference in many respects they just give the individual the chance to change certain elements.

well i think most who follow the sliders on OS will agree it makes a massive difference.The sliders,combined with gameplay setting tweaks such as changing game speed eliminate certain animation problems etc that fifa has.I think the easiest way for anyone to test is to play a match on default gameplay settings and default sliders then apply the tweaked sliders/settings and i guarantee you will see a big difference.

Oh ok fair enough, I stopped playing the game months ago so didn’t realise ....

to be fair bro upon release fifa 18 was a bit of a mess as they patched it twice in the first week or so but i never buy it until december as it gives time for the big gameplay patches to come into effect

They haven't failed to patch any version of Fifa so nothing new x

sadly true and fifa 19 will be no different.for what is worth,the current sliders are great but the biggest problem is still physicality,not enough fouls especially from cpu and thats why many gamers have called for a referee slider to bump up strictness etc

And the sliders I have enjoyed playing with don’t get me wrong.. I just think it can become an obsession where you start to question what changes you are actually seeing!

Yes I can see why that would be a good idea, sadly my football knowledge isn't great but just reading press and reviews it does seem Fifa is always being patched.

I honestly don’t get the issue with edges.. it’s more down to the change in timing. It’s hard.

I just got rolled for 159 second innings far more concentration and focus.. in 117-2.

I also when move down difficulties don’t edge it anywhere near as much..
