Yes, use Version 4......it's the most updated one. But keep in mind these settings don't work for everyone. Depends on your skill level. When I first started using them.....I was getting killed. Now all my games are like 24 - 17 type games....and all the individual stats are right where they should be depending on the team you play.

a few warnings for these sliders enclude this
1. do not use the highlight stick all the time or you will fumble no matter how good your back is. also remember to watch what side you are carrying on so the tackler doesn't get an easy hit ball side
2. step into all your throws. you will notice passes not getting alot of zip if you don't step into the passes well. also you will not get all day in the pocket unless you work the pocket well and roll out when you need to. also don't be afraid to check down and throw it short. i have andre johnson as a WR and he is a freak so when it is 1-on-1 then he is usually a good bet but some good corner will beat you and pick it still.
3. do not hit stick a lot. you must have good tackling and str to use hit sticks. most RBs will break your tackle on a hit stick even if you are a great tackler but WRs and smaller backs will be easier to blow up. find a RBs weekness and use this to tackle hit. if he is small with low str and bkt then hit sticks may work if he has low car then the strip ball may work well. always try to square up your shoulders before a hit so you wrap him up well.
4. use your defensive players style the best you can. if you have a bad CB don't leave him alone in coverage. if they have a fast WR then drop your corner back on him every play. if they have a 1 dementional offense then use the commit stick and commit to the pass or run but be carefull not to get burnt on PA.
5. use your offensive line to their strength. if they are quick and fast use alot of pulls and screens but also make sure you have a quick RB to complement this scheme too. if you have a big strong lineman then let him go straight at the D and run right behind him on dives. experiment to see what these players are good at.
6. stay in your spot on D. i have had many long runs happen because i saw the run and came up on it to fast. listen to some real players and hear then talk about gap control. stay in your spot or you WILL be the reason they get long plays sometimes.
7. learn to play different against some teams. we have the colts in our division so when we play them we stay back in coverage all day. sometimes i even drop back the whole secondary. i atleast drop back the CB on their top 2 WRs cause they are to dangerous deep. this will force Manning to check down, run short routes, or just throw perfect balls

i would also like to add a few franchise rules we use to limit ourselves.
1. every player of ours that is on the management list at the end of the year must be cut. they can be resigned later in free agency but must be treated as if they want to test free agency at least.
2. During Free Agency periods you must always sim the first day and can't make any offers on that day. from then on you can only make offers to 1 player each day. i was even thinking about making it only one offer per day. this way it makes it harder to sign players you want.
3. only rookies can have their position changed unless a player plays at a certain position on the depth chart for a whole year. any rookie can be changed at any time. i will give an example of the second part. you play a LT at RT on the depth chart for a whole year then the next offseason he can have his position changed officially through the roster screen.
4. we have started not using the kickoff left when we are kicking. we also started a new rotation for kickoff returns by starting right and then middle and then left. we were having almost to much success to the left so we decided to force ourselfves to do this
5. now we are not sprinting until the ball is caught by the cpu on punt returns. we almost always got to the returner before he caught it forcing him to never return in and call a fair catch. by not sprinting until he catches the ball they get a chance to make some moves and is much more dangerous.
these sliders have been treating us great and making every game a nail biter. i really feel that offense is finally a challenge. the whole name of the game now is winning the turnover battle and trying to guess what they are doing with your play calling.
there is really no way to express how much i am liking these sliders.
