How to slow a dynamic object sliding down a surface?

If I create a Dynamic Network and make a sphere roll down an inclined ground plane, how do I make it “sticky” to arrest its motion along the surface rather than sliding off quickly? The Friction parameter in the Physical tab appears to only affect tangential velocity (rate of object roll) so is of no use.

I have added the node, I had to crank up the parameter values much more than expected to see any affect. I thought it wasn't working at first. Presumably you use groups to target specific objects with specific forces?
This works if you have one object rolling down an inclined plane as you can set which axis to slow it on. But if you have many spheres falling on a large sphere, this would require a Drag force for each sphere to target its direction. Is there no other way to make the spheres “sticky”?

@Enivob: I did not know you could stick particles. Do you mea a particle system or a dynamic sim using geometry, like spheres? Where do I find the setting to make them stick?
@Midassilver: Friction, as I mentioned, only affects tangential velocity, not friction in the direction of movement, I believe.
