The effectiveness sliders are pretty straightforward. The higher they are, the more effective those aspects of the game are for either the User or CPU. The higher the Fakeout Discipline slider, the less likely players on the User/CPU team will be to fall for pump fakes and the like.
Wow, it's been a while since ive been on here.....anyways, i havent stopped playing 06 since i bought it....bought 08, played it 2 days and discarded it. DL'd this patch and the gameplay is sooooo much better and much more fun to play. It's like playing a new game.
