You can also use Revamped QBA 10/Pass Lead Small

For those looking for more of a challenge but don't want to make the jump to Heisman Level. These might give you that needed challenge.

Re: Playmakers All American Advanced Difficulty Sliders

Do you control the receiver after he makes the catch?

Re: Playmakers All American Advanced Difficulty Sliders

Do you control the recover after he makes the catch?

Most of the time I try not to

I control kickoff and Punt returns

Re: Playmakers All American Advanced Difficulty Sliders

Going to discuss the pass reaction slider here.

EA is definitely using the same code for that slider as older game play code.

If anyone remembers the old Knock Down slider that used to be in game many years ago.

Knockdown controlled the vertical jumping of defenders and their reaction time once a pass was thrown. In the old games with knockdown up high defenders didn't even need to see the ball to jump and deflect and a pass.

They basically had eyes in the back of their heads the higher that slider was set. I noticed once you start dropping the slider below 50 you get a normal reaction out of defenders when playing the ball in air.

Vertical jumping because more ratings based and awareness seems to matter more.

This game still has those goofy looking back to the ball swat animations because of the reaction slider controlling a part of it

Re: Playmakers All American Advanced Difficulty Sliders

Yes! Thank you for these, PM! I run all over the defense on Varsity so definitely need to up it to AA.

Side question for you: any recommendations on Coach XP Progression speed? I think Normal is too fast and Slowest might be too slow. I’m thinking Slow is the way to go but wanted to see what a professional thought

I haven't really progressed in dynasty mode yet.

Waiting to see what EA does with a Patch before committing.

But in Madden I always used Slow progression because the ratings are already out of hand to start dynasty.

Re: Playmakers All American Advanced Difficulty Sliders

Have you tried or will you try a zero speed? Seen it posted elsewhere

I actually love 0 speed on my CPU vs CPU sliders.

What I noticed is the defenders have the speed to keep up with slot wr's and TE's more so the separation isn't as wide.

Now granted I only tested this on varsity level.

Re: Playmakers All American Advanced Difficulty Sliders

I’ll try it on this set and let you know.

Curious after you talked about it this way but you still set it to 55 in the set.

Was it giving more normal reactions, but not in a sustainable way to for the Defense to be effective?

Re: Playmakers All American Advanced Difficulty Sliders

I use classic passing (old and do t like change) lol. Can you give an opinion on if it should be raised using classic? Seems like I can’t complete over 50% on 5. And nothing over 20 yards

Re: Playmakers All American Advanced Difficulty Sliders

Ok for AA level I'm going to see if CPU QB will play closer to ratings with QBA on the high end.

What I noticed with rosters once you get inside dynasty mode is that TUP is 70 or higher for all QB's. There's only like a few that fall below that 70 threshold which is ridiculous IMO especially for College QB's.

TUP is the most important QB rating in this game. The engine only simulates off target throws based on QB's throwing under pressure or if they sense pressure.

The QB's with Field General Trait usually won't even bother to take off and run. They are coded much like the Pocket QB traits from Madden.

What is the high end for cpu qb accuracy? Op has just 5.

It impacts their jump ratings and makes them react above their play recognition

On the base setup I will be lowering the reaction slider down to around 45 or 50. That will provide a more realistic reaction by the defenders vs the pass.

But there will remain a higher setting for those need a more difficult challenge.

Base settings will be more ratings based off what I'm seeing via EA default rosters.

Basically we want the game to simulate more throws using the TUP pressure rating. While also using the coverage ratings amongst LB's Safeties and DB's that don't have them all playing above their ratings.

Right now QBA at 40 vs pass coverage at 70 appears to be the best starting point. 70 is the average coverage rating for lower end defenders at those positions mentioned .

The Tackle Slider has to be setup in a way that unlocks the CPU's ability to move around in the pocket and not take sacks but force the pass to come under pressure which will then allow the off target throws I'm shooting for and bring down completion percentages without the CPU having to be dropped down to QBA 5.

Only slight tweaks are needed

Bump up QBA to 10 & WR Catch to 50. That should get you up to 60% or Higher without opening up the deep ball too easily.

I will also be lowering down Reaction Slider on next update so that might help you without any offensive changes needed.
