Stats-Based CPU Sliders [MLB 18 Version Season-Mode Memorial Edition]

Who else besides me would like to see Nomo try his hand at creating CPU vs CPU sliders for Madden 19?

Would be nice, but since the game of football isn't as data-driven and isn't as much of a numbers game, i think a completely different approach would be needed, so not sure Nomo would jump on that train. If we are simply talking about having a detail-oriented and thorough person to make a great set, i think there would be no one better. Unfortunately, if memory serves, i think i remember him saying that he isn't much of a football fan or Madden fan. Don't quote me on that. I could be wrong, and don't want to spread rumors lol.

I have pumped the breaks this year on Madden, until i get a better idea if it will be worth my time snd money. The only way i play Madden is CPU vs CPU, so if someone does come out with a really good set, i will get it. (Unless the mood just hits me and i make an impulse buy sometime.) Not to make this into a Madden thread, what are your thoughts on it so far?

I am hoping Nomo returns in 19 with another baseball set. I got the feeling he got tired of the online-focused changes and patches that continue to affect Franchise, and move it further away from simulation baseball. Again, this is TOTAL conjecture, that's all me. But heck, i might even stick with MLB 18 next year for the same reason.

In terms of sabermetrics, I would agree. I can't think of a free site for football that rivals fangraphs. There used to be one, but then it went paywall. I remember living by it to set my Madden 12 sliders.

It would also be harder to track individual performance, even with the stats (like I knew Patrick Willis literally made 98% of his attempted tackles but tracking that would be time-consuming at the least).

With the data available (say someone who used a good site already and also happened to like Madden), I think it could be similar. Just more consuming because of nature of the game.

I haven't played Madden in years - since Madden 13. Used to keep up with a dynasty here for that franchise.

Nomo, will you be doing sliders for '19?

Still early but so far in a handful of games, CPU is really struggling to generate any kind of offense. Pitching and defense seems a bit too strong, but that's usually the case every year.

My results were based on default. In my last exhibition game, Chris Sale pitched a no-hitter against the Orioles, but Boston could only muster 2 runs to win 2-0. Felt like every game would be scoreless or 1-0 going into the 7th inning.

Yours results is looking better so far.

I did one game one default and it was a 4-2 score with both teams only getting 5 hits each.

Yes but I would raise Timing from 4 to 5 and lower power from 6 to 5.

Hey all, playing the show 19, with nomo’s last sliders set from last year . Will see if it plays well

[CoachCraven]

Re: Stats-Based CPU Sliders [MLB 18 Version Season-Mode Memorial Edition]

I'm almost 20 games in using these and so far they seem pretty good. I do think I am seeing more errors, but not by much. One GREAT thing is that wild pitches seem to be less frequent.

Re: Stats-Based CPU Sliders [MLB 18 Version Season-Mode Memorial Edition]

So far only a few games into the season , it plays pretty great with the sliders.
