THE MISSION This gameplay is meant to be hard. Just like the NFL, any team can win any sunday. I upped the challenge as much as possible without having that old "AM Cheat" feel. QBs will miss wide open WRs. Scrambling QB? Better have a spy because hes taken off if its there. No more statue QB, ACTUAL movement in the pocket. WR will sometimes drop open passes and sometimes make sick one handed catches in traffic. You can throw the ball in tight windows without psychic DBs but if you force a pass, its going to get picked. Coverage is tight across the board unless you have real good route runners. Pass rush comes quick so you better have a checkdown option. Some games your running game will be unstoppable, other games you wont average 3 YPC. Run game is ORGANIC from cuts to blocking to tackling. Elite players do things average guys can't, they're meant to feel over powered because thats what makes them elite. Some games you're gonna get called for 6 penalties, some games you won't get called for 2. Players will get fatigued on long drives. *Ratings matter and mismatches can get exploited *Your teams record should reflect their ratings *Different play calling experience every game *Stats line up similar to NFL averages *Lose games without feeling cheated

EDIT DIFFICULTY GUIDE

Spoiler

Difficulty Guide Just to be clear, this mod is no different then using sliders in the sense it was created with MY vision of what I want from a sim football game so it might not be for you. If there is something specific you're not happy with, I highly suggest you don't use sliders. There has always been a domino effect with them because no one truly knows how much they control. We have the ULTIMATE slider tool with frosty on PC. If you're unsatisfied with a challenge or aspect of the mod, use the guide link above to help make edits. Feel free to ask questions if you need any help.

1. Download the fbproject, open in Frosty Editor (not Mod Manager)
2. Make the desired edits following the guide
3. Save changes

My god, I need to get Madden for PC. Haven't played since like '16. It's amazing we're able to mod the gameplay like this.

Curious, is gameplay all we're able to edit or can things with franchise be edited such as Sim stats and such?

Thanks for all the hard work on this!

It's much harder to do but we got guys working on the sim stats now

[WHATISTHISPOWER]

Thanks for the hard work on this. Looking forward to starting a franchise with the most recent rosters and running with this. The beta testing made the game much more fun. Really love the logic changes of the CPU in different situations.
