Can someone get EA to unlock super sim when we use custom playbooks ?

Re: A Definitive Guide to CPU-CPU, Play the Moment, and Super Sim

Set CPU offense playbook to West Coast for 50/50 ratio. Set to run balanced for 53/46 pass favor ratio.

Unfortunately didn't work. I changed every HC scheme to west coast, my opponent just did 24 pass attempts and 37 rushes by the same HB. 3.9 YPC and longest run was 17 so very forced. All on supersim all pro. Ridiculous that in year 2 of having this feature it's still this bad.
Edit: had a couple alright games, but way too many games still have problem of giving the back too many carries. Just had the AI run on 3rd and 12 in the red zone while down by 4...lmao

I suggest you now try: Balanced, Run Balanced, or Pass Balanced.
ur right that west coast can be a bit run heavy.
the carry distribution can be some BS.

you have to sit backs a few weeks during CFM to get equal carries for backs.
now, you can create a custom offensive playbook, apply to cpu, make ur second HB a fullback, and have 4-runs plays for HB and 2 for FB. now, the sim engine will give top hb 2/3 of carries and 1/3 carries go to second hb.

that is the best way to exact cpu play calling. this is possible in madden 17, as u can super sim. I do not touch matt-en 18 at all. PM if you want more facts.

Team playbooks must be west coast. Lower HB team stamina to 85 for average starter; 90-for good; and 95-for top.

Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this (and do let me know where it should go if this is the case!).

I'm an offline franchise sim player, and am playing Madden for the first time since Madden '08 or so. I like watching games while they're slow-simmed, but have had three of my team's seven games so far this season ruined by the CPU deciding to run fake field goals at absolutely idiotic moments and failing. Is there any way to prevent this?

So i've recently hopped over to team Xbox. Why the hell does this game pause after 10 minutes of CPU vs CPU? Even when plugged up to a USB to keep the controller on. Any way around this?

I've seen this complaint pop up several times since the last patch, but so far I haven't been able to duplicate it. The way I do CPU vs CPU is to go into SuperSim, select the "Slow" game speed and use the "Jump forward to end of game" option. Every play in the game plays out for me unless I press Circle (B on XBOX).

Maybe try that if you aren't already and see if it works for you? If it does still go to the menu, make absolutely sure that it wasn't your controller turning off (that will stop the sim and send it to the pause menu, as will dashboarding)

You must be on PS4. Yeah, I've done CPU vs CPU on PS4 as well and this never happened in Madden on there. Has to be an Xbox thing and it is really annoying.

Yeah, I'm PS4. If this is really an XBOX-only problem, I'm afraid I can't be of much help.

No problem. Thanks anyway.

The two controller method for using custom playbooks was working fine, but now i can’t do it. Any tips? Yesterday it was letting me super sim. Today its not available.

Re: A Definitive Guide to CPU-CPU, Play the Moment, and Super Sim

Just discovered something for this mode.

In Main Menu set cameras to Standard and player lock.

In cfm have cameras at broadcast and player lock.

When you do this, the game jumps to Spectator Mode without setting thing to slow before watch until end.

This seems to make gameplay smoother like spectator mode in Play Now. More camera angles in between plays, it seems.
