Armor & Swords Pro & All-Pro Custom Madden 23 Simulation Sliders For PS5/X Franchise Mode

Re: Armor & Swords Pro Custom Madden 23 Simulation Sliders For PS5/X Franchise Mode

Might be time to start looking into changing traits for the QB you’re playing that week.
Just played a game with a tweaked V2 for my skill level, Carr (CPU) was 20/35 339 2/0. Carr’s traits are; Throw ball away “yes”, sense pressure “ideal”, and force passes “ideal”.
I then started another game, same exact sliders, against Burrow. He had 4 interceptions before halftime and they were all just bad decisions by the CPU. So I went and looked at his traits, they were as follows; Throw ball away “No”, sense pressure “ideal”, force passes “aggressive”.
I remember that Armor picked off Justin Herbert like 5 times on stream yesterday so I went and looked at his traits; Throw ball away “No”, sense pressure “ideal”, force passes “ideal”.
So I decided to change Burrows traits to throw ball away “Yes” and force passes “ideal”. Just played another half, with the same exact sliders, so far he hasn’t even come close to an INT. He’s throwing the ball away and taking what the defense is giving him now.
At the very least you may want to make sure the QB you’re playing has throw ball away “yes”. For above average QBs they should probably have force passes “ideal”.

I think you have something here. My last two games the CPU has not thrown and int.
Unfortunately I won both so now I’m 8-0. But the no ints is encouraging.

My last two games the CPU hasn’t thrown a single INT as well. You can watch them both on demand on my twitch, I lost both. I’m using settings very close to armors but are tailored for my skill level. Most things I changed are in favor of the CPU. I’m about to go live with some more testing for anyone who wants to see them in action.

Tried All Pro, and still did well against the CPU, but I MUCH prefer the way the game plays with your sliders. It feels like a representation of Sunday football, instead of the MUT style of AP. Gonna give it another shot, and went back to classic passing as the new system is incredibly strong once you get used to it. I felt like Pat Mahomes out there!

I think the problem is the QB traits are out of control and throwing on the run or off your back foot in this game is a disaster.

I don’t think it’s a slider thing.

3 games, default all pro.

Davis Mills 7 interceptions.
Carson Wentz 5 interceptions.
Matt Ryan, 1 interception and that was on a desperation throw down a touchdown with 30 seconds left.

Hopefully they can fix that somehow.

When putting sliders in main menu do you round them up and then adjust them in franchise and does the view affect game play or is that preference and one last question if I turn off the super star setting will that effect the slider set I just feel super star does effect the game play by giving them unrealistic abilities
Just a thought and Thanks again for this slider set

I’m shelving this game until they patch the interceptions. Just can’t enjoy the game. This game play great besides the interception issues

Any slider that can’t be exactly out into the main menu I round up and adjust inside Franchise mode after I import them.

Armor,

I know we were taking about picking up 5th year options for the CPU during one of your steams. As well as re-signing any generational talents for them after their rookie contracts. I was able to figure out that the 5th year option scenario triggers during off season part 3, right before the draft. So you need to go and add new characters during off season part 2, so you’re ready to go for part 3. The only players eligible for 5th year options are first round picks who have 2 years left on their deal at the start of the regular season.
You’ll have to re-sign the generational players to extensions during their final year, during the regular season. Since most players are their teams highest overall pending FA, I believe they are available to start negotiating with at week 3 or 4.
Below is a list of all 5th year options that I personally believe should and will be picked up for year 1 of franchise. The list below that are the very few generational players I want to make sure the CPU resigns year 1.

5 yr options
Bengals - burrow
Bucs - wirfs
Cards - Simmons
Chargers - herbert
Commanders - young
Cowboys - lamb
Flacons - Terrell
Seahawks - brooks
Vikings - Jefferson

Re-sign
Bucs - Brady (unless he wants to retire)
Ravens - Lamar

Awesome info TC as always.

I am doing a 32 team in my current Dolphins franchise. We flipped to 32 team at week 5.

However everything is set to auto for the other 31 teams but I will go thru each team after I play my own game and dice roll their scenarios.

I am not doing weekly prep at all for the other 31 as progressive fatigue works as intended now and the CPU logic was fixed in the Madden 22 cycle and was tuned a tad more for 23 in my testing.

For all of you we have tested:

Turning off superstar abilities- did not
Change DB behavior….still seeing the same things we do with SS abilities turned on.

Editing QB traits - minimal difference to be frank

Quarter length 13 mins 15 second accel vs 10 minutes no accelerated clock….I found no difference in AI behavior. This was after several games played.


V2 is still our set. I am awaiting the first major update and see if it addresses the obvious INT issue we sometimes see with CPU QB’s tossing too many picks.

It really is (along with the lack of flags which I am simply swallowing as a design decision) the only gameplay wart in an otherwise really solid game this cycle.

My fingers are crossed they simply tone down the success rate of picks and allow us to have a slider that works so we see more drops and a lower success ratio. It simply to far too good.

Going into week 18 (10-6).

Gonna finish out Year 1 and shelve it till we see a patch.

Clearly and believe me I have tried everything. The CPU throwing picks is out of control. On the user side 80% of them are on me…but there are about 2 out of 10 that are just plain dumb. Typical video game superhuman warp thru my player or leap tall buildings in a single bound type crap that has me rolling my eyes.

Bottom line is we have a potentially great football game that is being held back by:

1. A serious int problem for the CPU QB’s
2. Lousy penalty system that is minimal and not changing
3. Numerous annoying bugs inside franchise mode
4. Lousy, dated commentary that still thinks week 17 is the final week of the season (come on how was this not removed). Presentation that is subpar
5. Bugged replays

I am hoping this forthcoming patch which is said to be somewhere in the 3-4 gig size tunes/fixes a lot of these issues.

Otherwise my longterm enjoyment is not gonna happen.

Same freaking story with EA. And shame on me for being a crack addict with Madden.

But I just can’t play another season with the game in it’s current state.

Nothing is working. This is an under the hood hard coded issue (interceptions) coupled with a completely broken interception slider.

I feel your pain Armor INTs are just out of control some games. Could be placebo, but I’m starting to notice a difference when using the “play receiver” rather than swat ball. It helps the defenders focus more on the receiver when the ball is in the air rather than the ball itself. I’ve also gone to strictly “over the top” coverage. So before each play I press (Y/Triangle) then I press up on the right stick. This seems like it’s making my defenders sit back more and not attempt to jump every single route. From what I’ve seen, 90% of CPU picks are on curl routes, when my defender just undercuts them because they never come back to the ball. Using the “over the top” coverage has seemed to combat that, but it’s a small sample of only a few games. I will say though, first game trying this and Fields threw 5TD/0INT against me. Again it could definitely be placebo and just a complete coincidence, but I’m gonna spend the rest of my season (10ish games) using the “play receiver” and “play over the top” adjustments. I will report back on how it goes. Also every game I play is live and then on demand on my twitch if anyone ever wants to see what I’m seeing. I’ll be streaming a lot today if these adjustments hold true. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
