GuFF's Data Driven Sliders

[guff]

I adjusted my sliders to match the NFL averages I determined using Profootball Focus' Stats. I use a range of averages amoung the starters at their positions. For instance yards per completion in the NFL ranged from 6-10 yards per completion, so if i have a top defense id expect the opponents to be at the low end. I sum stats ive recorded every 8 weeks and observe the averages rather than making knee jerk reactions from a single game. Example is say a good rb may average 5 YPC over the season but thats not to say he doesnt have a few games he averages 4 or less.

These are the stats I track throughout the season and adjust the sliders accordingly:
1. QB, yards / completion
2. QB, yards / attempt
3. QB, Completion %
4. QB, adjusted completion % (completions / (attempts - drops - throw aways) *throw aways must be manually tracked during the game.
5. DEF, Sack / opponent pass attempt
6. WR/TE, drops / pass attempt
7. RB, yards / attempt
8. DEF, tackles for loss / opponent rushing attempt
9. DEF, forced fumbles / game
10. DEF, interception / opponent pass attempt
11. DEF, Pass deflection / opponent pass attempt
12. RB, broken tackles / rushing attempt
13. Offensive plays per game.

What are the pass coverage sliders?

Re: GuFF's Data Driven Sliders

Fatigue at 50? Also what about penalties?

Re: GuFF's Data Driven Sliders

Fatigue is 50, penalties all default.

Re: GuFF's Data Driven Sliders

Nevermind to easy, especiall run game, had 2 70+ runs with ease in first half. Think tackle is to low.

It can happen and has happened before. How did the rest of the game pan out? Any stats?

Re: GuFF's Data Driven Sliders

Had much the same experience, I tried these for a couple games. A lot I liked, I was nervous about CPU pass coverage but it ended up being my favorite part of the set. The run game was indeed a bit easy for me, lb were very passive so I’d get seven yards before they engaged and with a good back one move and it was a big gain. There was a lot to like here though!

Re: GuFF's Data Driven Sliders

I agree woth you guys, ive been slowly dropping hum run blocking, as that and cpu pass block are the last 2 sliders ive been slowly tweeking.

Im posting a change to the sliders but my changes are somewhat gradual as i like to monitor the slight changes as we all know in madden a 1 point change in the sliders can sometimes be a tipping point.

If you want to make the run game more difficult, decrease hum run block, dont touch the tackle slider. An NFL rb typically breaks a tackle on 15-30% of their touches, tackling at 38 in my experience with different backs represents that well.

Thank you guys for the feedback!
