Thumbs up Changed madden league to espn...

and I am curious what settings you guys use for your franchise. You see my buddies have been doing a local league of Madden for the past couple of years and they want to give ESPN a try. we are looking for realism in teams. All games are off line.

1. what min do you use for games and sim games?

2. Pre-season on or off?

3. custom sliders or default?

4. Penalty sliders custom or default?

5. Fumbles and Int settings?

6. Game speed?

Thanks everyone!!

Re: Changed madden league to espn...

1. I used to play 7 minute quarters until 2K4 but since they allow you to play 8 minute quarters and still earn points in 2K5 I just haven't took the time to switch back to 7 minute quarters. The manual says 5 minutes is the ideal setting for simmed games.

2. I have Pre-season turned on.

3. I use custom sliders that still give you the 1.5 All Pro modifier and EQ turned on.

4. Penalty sliders default.

5. I'm not near my console so I couldn't say right now.

6. Game speed is set on Fast

Re: Changed madden league to espn...

My personal franchise is set like this:

1 - 9 min quarters, 5 min sim

2 - I have preseason off because by playing out the games, the CPU will not substitute in 2nd string, 3rd string, etc. The CPU WILL use the 2nd string, etc if you Gamecast the preseason. Also, I believe preseason COULD result in alot of weird trades.

3 - I use custom sliders that end in a 1.58 modifier, and EQ on

4 - I have most penalties jacked up to max, except Def pass interference and offensive holding. Clipping set to zero, because of the clipping bug (fixed in XBox version but not PS2).

5 - Fumbles set to about 25 or 26. Someone did tests that suggest 28 clicks from the left is optimal. Using Tiki Barber, I get plenty of fumbles at 25 or 26. INT setting down all the way to zero. Still plenty of INT's at zero.

6 - I use normal game speed.

Re: Changed madden league to espn...

My settings:

1. what min do you use for games and sim games?

8 mins playing games, 4 minutes simulating. Admittedly at this setting, simulated CPU receiver yardage can come out lower than expected.

2. Pre-season on or off?

I turned it off to start, but after the trade deadline I flick it back on. So, for the first season, off, but thereafter on.

3. custom sliders or default?

Custom sliders with a Crib Modifier around 1.53ish. Couple of key things in my sliders is that CPU running is full and Human and CPU fatigue sliders are around 5 clicks from 0. I also have Human Coverage set fairly high, around 2/3 to 3/4 full. Performance EQ is on.

4. Penalty sliders custom or default?

Everything is upped 3 or 4 clicks, with the exception of Clipping which I have turned off, and Offensive Holding, which is up 5 or 6.

5. Fumbles and Int settings?

Injury +2
Fumble and INT sliders = default

6. Game speed?

Normal.

Cool its seems everyone is about the same. To bad the CPU does all those weird trades otherwise perfect game.
