Armor, assuming that if EA fixes the INT issue you will test the INT slider even with the new rating edits for CIT CTH and SPC?

VOD of the AFC championship and offseason and draft are up.

We had a wild off-season.

We lost to the eventual Super Bowl
Champion Buffalo Bills as Josh Allen went off on me with a brilliant game.

Skylar Thompson’s brief era came to an end as he left via free agency and became the starting QB for the Carolina Panthers signing a rich 4 year deal worth over 46MM.

Simply too rich for my blood. The WB of the Future tag is very powerful.

We had a great draft!!! I will give EA credit on the entire mock draft build up to the draft. It was a lot of fun watching my targets move up and down. It also makes you use caution for your private workouts! You don’t want to tip your hand too much!!

Needless to say the Adam Butler era has begun for the Dolphins. We also drafted some other future studs at MLB, SS and WR. Just a great draft!!

Butler might be a generational talent at QB and we were able to grab him at the 18th pick in round one we also grabbed his backup in the 5th round who is not bad in his own right.

I won’t ruin it. Check out the VOD to get caught up.

Also I took care of many 5th year option scenarios for every team. Obvious ones were Burrow, Herbert, Jefferson etc.

What I do is to keep it real. Obvious franchise guys lime those three are automatic. The other I see what the GM says….then dice roll them. Do whatever you want is my motto. Your universe, your stories.

Baker Mayfield became the new trigger man for the Commanders. Derwin James left LA for Texas!

The Giants drafted a stud at QB and his last name is Simms!!! The irony! Sam Darnold is his back up. They moved on from Daniel Jones.

The Steelers signed Tom Brady!!! 46MM for one season! Incredible!

Pickett will be learning from the best.

The Bucs meanwhile are in a load of cap hell and will be terrible in 2023.

Anyway we are excited as Year 2 begins later today at New England!!

So what have we done in terms of calming down the CPU picks and also seeing more int drops by the CPU?

The catch ratings for LB’s DB’s and S’s are ridiculous. The issue is the improved “Field Sense” defense and secondary play does not match up with these high catch ratings….it’s not calibrated properly. There was a thread in the main forum where someone suggested dialing down all three catch ratings by 15. I went farther.

Here is what were are doing before we play each opponent. It takes about 15 mins. But after that your done. And moving forward you just need to edit the rookies after the draft (you can do it in the draft recap screen) or simply do it each week when you play a team.

Edit the following:

CTH
CIT
SPC

By 20.

If they are a true star/superstar ballhawk (Xavien Howard for example) reduce by only 10.

Also any DB with superstar abilities:

Pick Artist
Acrobat

Change them to whatever you want. Do not use those two. They are vastly OP.

Also trait edits:

Penalty- Undisciplined
Play ball in air - conservative

My games have been so much better.

Also full disclosure and we will update the OP soon after a few more games my coverage sliders for the human side are all zeroed out.

Reaction
Coverage
Interception

All set to 0.

Game feels great so far using this method.

Do I think an update is forth coming to address this? I have no idea. But regardless if there is the catch ratings for defense are not jiving with whatever code they are using for pass defense this cycle.

Happy gaming!

So I downloaded a roster where the author had reduced all the DBs ratings very similar to yours, as well as removed traits. I tried on All Pro (wanting better offense from the CPU) and initially I was thrilled. I was passing and finding guys in spaces and the dbs and linebackers weren;t jumping everything I threw. On the few times I messed up the timing they might jump the route but deflect it. It felt organic and good. I thought this was it.

But I made one mistake and they picked me off and took it to the house. I was like....yeah...I misread that and my timing was late. That was on me. But...the real damage was in the momentum swing. Because in the 2nd half, they started picking off everything....I mean everything. I quit the game in the 4th quarter when I threw my 5th interception...one of those tipped by the defender then caught by another things. It was absurd how the game flipped into what felt like old school All-Madden hijinks to make sure the CPU got the win. It was bad.

Why am I posting here? I guess I was wanting to get confirmation that you still believe AllPro is too jacked up for realism. I really dig Pro but I was finding the CPU was not very threatening on offense against me. I was using your sliders with some tweaks but I think I need to go back to square one and do your trait edits and such and try again.

I can not speak for Armor but I am loving Pro with his slider set. I played a bunch of practice games all before starting my preseason today. Now I am using the Giants who are not a power house team which might explain the game being balanced to me. If I was using say KC who knows I might blow teams out. But so far so good for sure

I seriously don’t think they are patching this issue.


Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports

Yeah I agree, I think if its due to the new fieldsense. If they patched it, things might get jacked up even worse. I am not sure they believe it is a problem. I mean I do not try and force balls before the edit changes recommendation and that seemed to cut things down.

That and I think the new passing is why I don't think they will patch it. I think User INT's would go down if it was used, but I think it takes away from it being based on ratings and more about stick skills. The issue is it doesn't help the AI INT's, but EA worries more about Online play and how it affects it. Which it won't ever matter there.

Just my 2 cents. I mean I could be totally wrong too

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

I tried a game after editing the ratings of the DBs and LBs on the cpu team and maybe it helped a bit but still noticed some unrealistic ints from a linebacker, a 74 rated linebacker intercepted off me and made a better animation catch than my higher rated wr did, then next drive the same linebacker made int again, most cause I got hit when the ball was released and it floated right to him, i got mad and closed my app out and then got back into the game to "redo the play"

Also playing on all madden difficulty so probably why the int will always just be broken on the difficulty

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

I’m learning that switching from classic passing to placement and accuracy helps the INT issue. The LBS are still jumping slants over the middle but the placement and accuracy is a way to combat that once you get the hang of it.

Gonna answer for him and keep it simple.
The gameplay. The hitting on 20 is miles better than 22. 22 bored me to death this year. Every game felt the same with pitcher duel after pitcher duel.

Went back and played 20 and felt like I was actually playing a baseball game again.

What he said. Just the best of the best all around also the classic roster community on 20 is second to none. And there is a post deadline 22 roster available if you want to start a brand new modern day franchise on 20.

And it plays amazing on the PS5. 60 FPS and Sounds of the Show.

22 is a beautiful game….but like Topside said a very sterile and stiff hitting engine. Ever since 21 the direction of the game has gone to a place I am not on board with.

I’m not trying to hijack this thread and I’m not trying to convince anyone different, but I’m sorry you guys feel this way. I just had a game that ended 10-9 on a walk off. 20 is an amazing game though no doubt. And I don’t blame you for sticking with it.

I’m going to wait for the patch and week 1 rosters to start my franchise. If the int problem isn’t solved I will follow Armor’s ratings edits and if the game is still in the same state the game is getting deleted off my PS5. With 2k around the corner I don’t have time to f*ck around with a broken mess. EA is basically hanging on by their fingernails with me.

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

I think you'll still see some bad games with ints but this as a whole cuts them down more often than not.That being said,I'm sure it's not likely to get to the NFL average of around 13 yr. per team without a patch.

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

Streaming Vikings year 1 vs Cowboys with Armors DB/LB tweaks. I’m using the exact OP with some very minor tweaks for my skill level (made CPU harder). I did a small test game and it felt really good so I’m super optimistic. Come check out how the game plays or just come hangout.

Had a tremendous game in the second VOD. Came down to the last play of the game. It was insane.

Mac Jones (cpu) and Cousins combined for 8TD and 0INT
