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

From a number of "test games" I'm playing - what I "think" is happening with the INT issue has more to do with the WR slider. I'm going to raise it really high (playing with numerical values) and see what happens. I think part of the problem is the WR simply doesn't fight for the ball enough with the lowered slider value. I am using a variation of your slider set here and PlayMakers Pro level set. Mine look a bit different but these two slider forums are giving me good thoughts to work with. I've maxed the CPU QB out at 100 and still can intercept him 4-6 times a game. That simply isn't real and takes ALL the FUN out of this game. But I noticed when I started raising the WR slider, I saw them fight more for the ball.

I also believe this game is garbage above PRO level. Too scripted and zero fun to play. I'm 50, so I'm a bit older than some here. I simply don't have time to waste fixing sliders all the time - anymore I'll just trade a game back in. But I appreciate the thoughts shared here - very helpful!!

Have you xone a deep dive on the Auto Subs yet or is the default actually pretty good?

Using your sliders and I have also modified my opponents LBs, Safeties and CBs to conservative trait and lowered the Catch, CIT and Spectacular catch. It helps. A lot. I mean....a lot a lot. In fact. I feel like now passing is too easy? I feel like I am seeing the same thing with the CPU defenders that I see with user teams WRs. Apathy.



I throw risky passes into tight windows and my TEs and Receivers are making catches that I couldn't complete before but it seems cheap to me as the defense seems to not be trying now.



Maybe I should not be manipulating their traits and changing to conservative as they don't seem to care about the ball now. Does lowering their catch ratings make them not try to catch at all? I assumed that just meant they would drop more passes but perhaps the game has some logic that see that the DB has a low catch rating and therefore doesn't trigger the animation?



Bottom line is I am glad the interceptions are toned down. But my completions are way up now as well. I think last game I was the Browns and whooped on the Jets. It was like 35-7 late in the third. I took out Brisset and put in Dobbs. Brisset was 21-24 with 3 TDS and 1 interception. I would be happy with that except it felt like I was on rookie!



So....any ideas? Is this why you (Armor) stopped modifying the CPU players and just did your own? BTW, by the end of the game Zach Wilson was like 24-34 with 3 TDS and 1 int. He cleaned up during garbage time and started completing everything. He even completed a hail mary for TD.



Thanks for any input. Oh...also I am getting almost no pass rush since the last title update. Any recommendations on tweaking the sliders? I feel like Myles Garret should be able to beat his man sometimes.

Yeah I only edit my secondary and LB’s. Getting really great games.

Armour I must say I've been a long time follower of your sliders and this year up to now its been perfect. I've quietly lurked in the background for years, but I can't stay silent any longer...

Now I'll preface this with I'm on ps4 still(haven't gotten my hands on a ps5 yet. As a lot I'm nearing 50 real soon as well... Lol

I am following your method nearly 100% the only thing I am not doing yet is adjusting my players on D. The int thing has to be next Gen related. I am not seeing the ints either by my team or the cpu. In fact there has been a lot of passes that should be picked off and are dropped. I play as the Pack and Jaire got a pick in week 2 vs the bears but it was a complete errant throw by Fields. (I had pressure on him all game but couldn't contain him as he rushed for 70 on me.)

Looking at the team stats across the league the ints are in line with what we see in real life. I've raised the int for both human and the cpu by 1 now and we'll see what happens but I just am not seeing the pics like everyone is seeing. I've always liked your slider sets but this year feels like a whole different level and I am loving Madden again... Thank you!

I started on All Pro as I was afraid Pro level would be too easy and I agree above Pro level for our style of play is hot trash! Too scripted and can't no switch it and be successful. So I started all over and tried Pro and wow have I been impressed. The only downside is I am seeing a lot of blocking in the back penalty on big runs but I think that can be fixed over time dialing the penalty slider in but it does make for some dramatic times so I may not touch it for awhile.

At this point I'm not sure I want EA to fix anything.... Lol sorry I know y'all want the int thing fixed my games are just too awesome to this point and realistic and I'm afraid a patch will break it for me.... Lol. On the other hand I want it fixed so EVERYONE can enjoy it without the headaches. Let's face it we're all Madden Junkies or we wouldn't be here and I didn't even plan on buying the game this year... Lol but as usual I couldn't resist, and broke down and bought it as soon as I seen you were at it again with sliders...

Thanks to you Armour you've resurrected a game I had all but given up on. I need to get my hands on a ps5 so I can enjoy the better graphics and added features but loving this set on last Gen because it just down right works.

Great post! Yeah last gen works in that regard.

This is a current gen issue. We have managed to curtail it and make it a lot more tolerable. I had another great game last night at Denver.

We are in Year 2 Week 16 now.

I want to let you all know Progressive fatigue works brilliantly this cycle for tue CPU. I have been check all the teams and it looks great. I don’t suggest turning it off. It adds another layer of strategy for your own team as the season wears on.

Adam Butler my rookie first round QB is having a great campaign!!

And there are two huge surprise QB’s sitting atop the leading overall yards and TD’s in Year two.

Jordan Love who was not resigned by GN and then went thru the off season with no offers signed as a free agent with Tampa Bay after Brady left for The Steelers. He is a league MVP contender.

And Ridder from Atlanta is second to him and also a leading MVP candidate and NFC QB of they Year contender.

Just wow….and IMO so cool to see. Awesome storylines!!!!

Do you edit every single def player for every team? If so, how long did it take you? Also what ratings/attributes do you edit?

Dude. Read the first post.

He edits his team only and lists the edits to make.

I read that but I was confused about if it was his team or the opponents team because it doesn't make sense to only edit your team and not the CPU team but maybe I just read it wrong

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

With the no switch rule do you only control the qb and after the reciever catch the ball let the ai run or do you take control and run the ball yourself?
Same on defence do you take over after your cb make a pick or let the ai run the ball back

On offense afer I throw the ball....I let the AI make the catch and then I take control of WR to run. Sometimes I will choose the catch type as well....it all depends on the situation.

On defense I only stay in control of the guy I choose before the snap. I never switch. I will attempt to user pick or swat if the ball is throw towards my LB or S if I am controlling them.

Armor has said he only edits his team because the INT issue is not with the human player but with the CPU. Just edit YOUR LB’s, DB’s , SS and FS

FWIW I did this last night and the game plays much better. I also have my dbs set to "Swat Ball" in the coaching options. You really don't even need to edit your edge guys who are listed as OLB unless you plan on dropping them into coverage, but even then their catching stats are extremely low out of the box.
