Catching slider doesn't work either put it a zero and go practice they still catch everything

Have you all seen the post in the slider section about accel clock? I took the advice in that post and turned accel clock off. Since then, have played 9-10 games. I have seen much more realistic games in general, better CPU play calling, and less ridiculous interceptions. There have been some 3 pick games by me, and by CPU QB, but the norm has been 1-3 turnovers total per game. I highly recommend checking that out if you use accel clock.

Couldn’t agree more on the CPU INT problem.

They often seem freak out at any sign of pressure (regardless of their rating) and end up making terrible decisions, even on AM.

On another note, has anybody noticed any improvement on the oline with this update?

Does anyone have the disk version to see if these issues where created by the Pre-Release Post-Beta Tunings?

I'm in agreement that the CPU throws WAAAAY too many picks.

This is about where I’m at too. NBA 2k comes out in around 9 days and mlb the show is playing great right now imo. It would kill me not to be able to play a long franchise mode this year, but if the int and franchise mode issues don’t get fixed there’s no way I can enjoy this game.

Axis Football comes out in just over a week, worth a try at this point because I can't even stomach a half of Madden right now.

Re: Madden NFL 23 Patch Available Today - Patch Notes

If you read the forum as well as you can read coverages then you'd see the issue is with the interception slider not seeming to work and that is combining with some terrible CPU QB behavior leading to lots of interceptions by the CPU, not the user.

I don't think any sliders are working and I honestly don't think they care.

I mean any game is worth more of your time than Madden at this point imo. They keep saying it's the most realistic madden to date though

Players that wouldn't hit FA have got to FA in Madden for the entire time I've been playing this game. Decades.


Cap management is exceptionally hard to put into an AI in this area.

This is partially true. I never remember seeing young franchise quarterbacks hit free agency like they do in this game.

I'm not sure about that Danimal

Maybe the INT slider is broken but I can safely say all other sliders are working properly.

But I do agree that EA doesn't give a crap about Sliders in Madden because they aren't making the game for guys on OS.

They are making it for casual guys who don't even know what a Slider is or how it changes gameplay.

I've mentioned this before, but Madden team is so far behind the NHL team in terms of gameplay options it's almost ridiculous.

Madden is still rocking the same exact Sliders from 2008

You can't test sliders in practice and
get a true gauge

Hell, you can't even use Play Now Sliders and get the same results in Franchise mode.

I've done that in CPU vs CPU testing and User vs CPU testing

I've seen stone hands on offense if you go too low on the WR Catch Slider especially on Pro Level.

Only thing I'll disagree with here is what's in bold. Majority of the sliders in Madden are most definitely broken or at best work terribly.

Going down the list:
QB Accuracy - Works minimally. I believe this slider works more on a 20 digit scale rather than the 0-100 scale. It's one of those sliders that you won't notice any differences until you get to a specific #, and then things start going overboard. And don't get me started on Madden programming passes to go directly to defenders. We currently have ours set to 20
Run & Pass Blocking - Two sliders that need to be drastically changed to be effective. Currently set to 13 each.
WR Catching - This slider seems to change year to year based on the feature set. Currently at 15 because INTs are asinine and it seemed to reduce some of them. Oh and WRs can still make tons of grabs and you really don't see many drops if at all even at 15.
INTs - Completely broken. Doesn't matter if it's at 0 or anywhere in between all the way to 100. Your 53 catching Nose Tackle will one hand a deflected pass off your LGs cleats.
Reaction Time - Works but still needs more tuning
Pass Coverage - Has to be turned up to 90 to get somewhat tight enough coverage, which ends up slightly giving man coverage an advantage.
Fumbles - Set at 80 so that hit sticks and peanut punches aren't f'n automatic fumbles
Tackling - Works but still needs more tuning.
FG & Punt Power - Doesn't really seem to work that well, needs a lot of tuning
FG & Punt Accuracy - Absolutely terrible. Punt accuracy doesn't work. FG Accuracy doesn't change until you go under 34 and then every FG goes 12 yds to the sideline.
Kickoff Power - Works
Penalties - All terrible. Plus, considering some penalties are 100% based on user input you may never see some penalties occur. Holding can be at 99 you'll still get maybe 3 max per game.
Fatigue - Kind of works but needs a lot of tuning
Injuries - Works but injuries in madden also suck
Speed Threshold - Probably the only slider that fully works as designed

And you are 10000000000% correct that Madden needs a slider list as long and in depth as NHL's with everything actually working with a definition beside each slider so we know wtf we're changing.

Why EA, why🤯🤬

So based off Tarheel in an earlier post notating the different versions, I ran out and found an used M23 at GameStop just to test to see if there is any difference in gameplay from the Disk version 1.0.0.3 vs the original Digital version 1.0.0.4 and….

Default All-Pro Sliders, SIM Play Style

Everything from the AI is on point.
- Peanut Punch
- Post catch knockouts right at contact
- AI Ball Carrier using crazy tackle avoidance moves, even on PR/KR
- AI QB’s behavior in-line with their QB Style
***Cousins (Pocket Passer) even ran up the middle to avoid pass rush
- Knockdowns & Swats if not facing the ball
- Knockouts on collisions
- momentum of Power Backs pushing the pile of tacklers

I keep telling myself not to buy Digital every year, get the Disk for this very issue.

Lastly, no major ratings/Trait edits needed so that’s a major plus.
OL SS Abilities finally have an legit functional use in slowing down that Pass Rush.

- nice to see that some backups can have an impact during Preseason games.

I’m set with the non-updated Disk version and staying Offline.

Everyone’s mad about INTs but I’m sick of Trent Williams getting toasted by scrubs, so hopefully this fixes that.
