mkharsh33 Madden 12 Custom Sliders / Slow Speed

[dakpak]

these played a great game of football, switched to very slow in 2nd half and my run game was much improved as i couldnt do much in 1st half up the middle, gonna play some more games but so far so good, peace!

I'm playing preseason right now so with all the substitutions I can't give a result now but once I hit regular season I will let you know.

I'm actually upping my Kickoff Power to like 70...with all the touchbacks happening in the real NFL now, might as well follow suit on my digital version.

Bronco's first possession was a 50 yard TD run. Then my first pass was an INT for a TD. Then the Broncos next drive had a 50 yard TD pass. So in a span of about 3 minutes, I was down 21-0. I don't blame the sliders for this, it was just a weird freak occurance. After that, the game calmed down and flowed well. Can't comment on the run game too much, like I said I went down early huge so I mainly had to stick to passing. Although I noticed there wasn't much auto-subbing of RBs in the game. Ugh. Right now I feel that the HUM pass defense may be a bit too loose, and the CPU pass defense may be a bit too tight. I'll play a few more games and see what happens. HUM pass D was just blowing coverage like crazy though. Most of Orton's incompletions came through open drops, not well defended passes.

yards are a bit high for NFL averages but within the range a game may play out. Look for it to be balanced in the next game or two (like under 300 yards per team or thereabouts). Was the scoring all on big plays? You mention blowing coverage. Also I see Moreno had a 54 yard run. This is my bane in next gen. Every TD is a big play....I much prefer both sides to drive the ball more.

the impressions are appreciated...as stated, these are early (very early) but we'll tweak them as we see more feedback.

my first concern was getting the clock management / plays per game correct which I believe these do quite well.

the pass defense for both sides is what we'll need to look at - and i think our only saving grace on that might be the speed threshold. so we'll keep an eye on that too... thanks, guys!

also, i go into the main settings page and go down to game level (or whatever it's called - don't have my game on right now) and choose "custom" out of all the selections. when you then back out and go to the player skills (for both user and cpu) all the sliders for user will be at 100 and those for cpu will be 50. just change from there.

if i understand correctly, as soon as you start from say, "all pro" (or whatever it's called, for example) as soon as you start changing those individual sliders they then become "custom" anyway... (though someone correct me if i'm wrong).

yeah...agreed. most of mine were kicked to the 5 or 10 yard line. i wanted the cpu to bring them out. here's what i hate about madden now: no separate special teams sliders for cpu and user.

i had to leave the fg accuracy a little higher than i'd like, but if you don't the cpu will start missing them.

i may raise the kickoff power 5 or 10 points...thanks for noting this.

Check that. 70 is way too high. Just about every KO was going out of the back of the endzone. I've settled on 60.

I haven't seen the CPU miss a single FG with it set at 50. Plus, I've pretty much got the timing down on the new kick meter, so I'm thinking of setting this to 40 or 45.
