Also worth noting is that the number of bars are specific to each matchup. So your DE who only has one bar remaining for the next play against the LT will have all of his bars back for the same play if you move him to the other side where he goes up against the RT.Comment

Re: Armor & Swords Pro Custom Madden 23 Simulation Sliders For PS5/X Franchise Mode
Sliders are working pretty good but sadly the Momentum Meter still seems to be overpowering everything. I have had back to back division games vs Ravens then Bengals as my Browns. Both games mirror each other almost exactly.
First half is great. Incredible dog fight....balanced and a struggle to keep it even. In the Ravens game it was like 13-10 Ravens leading at half. But then I do 1-2 good things in the 3rd quarter and the momentum swings my way (no pick 6 involved here though) and next thing you know I end up blowing them out. I think the final was 35-17 or something. The CPU Ai literally played like a competent opponent in the first half, then in the second half started missing passes, throwing an assortment of short passes to their TE/WR that are caught at the sidelines for a 1 yd gain as they catch and fall out of bounds. Over and over which really helps out my defense.
Same with the Bengals except I did throw a pick in the first half and they got the momentum and suddenly Burrow can't miss. He hit 3....count em....3 long passes of over 50 yds for TD in the 2nd quarter. All of these were potentially contested but the AI receivers went up and grabbed the ball over my dbs heads, came down with it and ran it in for a touchdown. None of these were wide open with receivers beating my guys. All 3 were jump balls essentially. Ugh. Score was 28-24 Bengals with 4 TD for Burrow.
Then, in the 3rd quarter, I get the ball and score on the opening drive(now leading 31-28) and the momentum shifts my was by about 25%. On the next drive Burrow gets a little pressure from Myles Garret and throws it right to Denzel Ward for a pick 6. I should have run out of bounds but was excited since I haven't had a pick in 2-3 weeks. At this point, it just becomes a different game. Dink and dunk from Burrow, a bunch of quick out patterns for 1-2 yds with receivers catching on the sidelines and falling out of bounds. I end up sacking Burrow with Garret early in the 4th and he fumbles. The ball is rolling around and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah picks it up and takes it to the house. Final was 48-28.
I ran the ball for 130 with Chubb and 98 with Hunt. I took Chubb out for the entire 4th quarter. Hunt got all his yards as I was running out the clock. I think Brisset was 15-22 for 140yds. I didn't need to throw. I ran 40 running plays vs 22 passing plays. I was literally running the clock all the way down on every play in the 4th.
Despite these massive rushing totals it didn't feel organic. It was a ton of 1-2 yd gains with the typical "WWE" smash tackles where Chubb or Hunt go flying after getting a few yards. It wasn't until the 4th quarter that I started to bust a few 10 yd runs here and there. I guess the defense was getting tired.
Regardless....I do think the momentum messes with the game too much. When I play Madden 22 on PC with just the Madden 23 mod added, I get a way more balanced game. In fact......it almost feels too balanced as no matter what I do to get a lead the other team continues to grind and stays in the game. Almost too much...like the old comeback logic we've all talked about for years.
Hopefully they will tone down the momentum but I doubt it. These sliders are great but so far I am finding that by the second half, momentum often has things so far out of whack that is throws the balance off significantly. Sometimes to the CPU but mostly to me.Comment

Armor,
I’m not trying to clog up your post here. I just thought for the ones interested this really helps with injuries.
It is a pain in the a** having to do this for each team, but for me anyway it is worthy of the little time it takes to do it.
For each position including make the injury ratings changes from the post on the main forum. I will go back and post that thread here shortly.
Now I’m running with my injury slider up to 50, but I want to see those injuries in my franchises. It has helped with the variance of positions going down with injuries. It’s no longer you O-Linemen and D-Linemen taking the majority of the injuries. Yes you still have them, but I’m seeing every position leaving games injured at pretty much the same clip…maybe a little smaller clip than those guys, but it will help A TON!!! I’m seeing punters and kickers go down from time to time. It’s well worth the time I have invested.
On the ratings changes that are posted in the main forum he gives you a couple of options for the HB position. You can use -30 or -40 rating drop. My opinion -40 is the way to go. Hell HB’s should be seeing injuries due to their jobs!!! As far as the QB rating edits…what is listed is great for the simmed games, but needs dropped for your QB some more in played games. I’m still working that one down.
Ok so if you want injuries for everyone…including kickers and punters this is how we do it. YES!!!! THESE RATING EDITS DO AFFECT THE WEEKLY SIMMED AI GAMES. It will not be just your squad going on the injured list. I will be right back with the link, and Armor I apologize for this long post.
Can’t remember right off the guys name…Gitty? I believe. MAJOR PROPS AND THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THIS!!!
Not enough injuries in franchise

Re: Armor & Swords Pro Custom Madden 23 Simulation Sliders For PS5/X Franchise Mode
I just got done completing my 1st season with the version 3 sliders using
TFG Roster. I would like to share my results. Weeks 1-18 are using the None Modified Version 3 Sliders. The only thing I did not do is the Position edits and coaching strategy. TFG Roster already comes with position edits and as far as the coaching strategy is concerned I like for the games to play out as they play out with out giving myself any kind of edge against the cpu.
The Play off Weeks I moved the CPU QBA to 95 & CPU Pass Reaction to 95.
The reason for this is I found my Offense to overpowered and the CPU QB lacking. I made the adjustments and the game plays much better now.
I limit myself as much as possible against the cpu and I was still destroying them until I made the above changes. When it comes to defense I only switch players if I don't start the play out controlling someone on the D Line and I only switch it before the snap and never after. On defense and offense I also use coach suggestion and if the FG is 30 or more yards I slow sim the FG. I also use Play call limit and cool down.
Below is my results.

Re: Armor & Swords Pro Custom Madden 23 Simulation Sliders For PS5/X Franchise Mode
In my franchise
TB Drafted a 1st Round QB Alec Pritchett Pick 19 72 OVR
and Tom Brady went back to the Patriots for 1yr $24.86M Bonus $14.54M
in 2022 TB lost to Car 17-20 in the Wild Card. Guess somebody wasn't happy lol.
You would think TB would of resigned Brady with them going to the wild card in 2022 instead they let the Patriots scoop him up in the FA. Wished I would have checked to see if TB even made a bid on him in the FA.Comment

Not trying to be rude, but these sliders are based off playing a sim style, and not cheesing the CPU. Throwing 626 passes, 61 TD and 57 INT, kinda just shows that you don’t play the game like a lot of people in this specific thread do. You either need to adjust your play style or find a different set.
Just my two cents.Comment

Re: Armor & Swords Pro Custom Madden 23 Simulation Sliders For PS5/X Franchise Mode
Adjust how? I played the season with the sliders posted and not modified. I limited myself against the cpu by using coach suggestions, play cool down and limits, no switch rule (except when I needed to switch to a D Line player before snap). With all those limitations how exactly did I cheese the cpu? It's not my fault the sliders are to easy.Comment

Armor & Swords Pro Custom Madden 23 Simulation Sliders For PS5/X Franchise Mode
Game is shelved till the next update.
Momentum Meter has ruined this game
Also the CPU punt bug has been proudly re-introduced! How wonderful.
EA can’t get their **** together and I am not optimistic about NCAA 23 at all.

Re: Armor & Swords Pro Custom Madden 23 Simulation Sliders For PS5/X Franchise
Must have been. Never saw it before then.
Insane how it keeps coming back….it just shows how layered the code is. They refuse to tear it down and build it again….because they absolutely must keep that MUT train rolling along.
It’s futile. And life is too short to get that upset about a video game, especially when we have other sports game options like The Show and NBA2K.
We will wait and see if this all gets resolved. If not…..oh well.

Re: Armor & Swords Pro Custom Madden 23 Simulation Sliders For PS5/X Franchise
I am with you. I am done stressing over trying to fix this game. As a consumer that shouldn’t be our jobs.
Plenty of other awesome games out there that are actually worth my time and money.
