Madden 23: Slider Testing OP #1
I start with my Madden 22 Slider settings and will make changes here!
This is my new Forum Policy
It's needed based on a few issues I've had in the past
IMPORTANT! (PLEASE READ BELOW!)
NO bullying / inappropriate conversations/trolling will not be tolerated.
You will be ignored and reported to Operations Sports Management
Advice, acknowledgments, or change considerations will only be given to those with legitimate issues or suggestions by providing evidence of your findings.
Please provide proof via a picture, image, or video of any recommended suggestion changes, reported issues, or stat observations.
Broad complaints or criticisms with no supporting evidence will be ignored.
Use my sliders as they are or as a base to fine-tune gameplay to your liking.
It's your responsibility to adjust any slider to best fit what you would like to see, not mine.
Not entertaining every dog that barks anymore.
I appreciate your support.

INJURIES ARE BROKEN ON THE PC I went over to the Xbox X
Leave Injuries on 52 Higher Injury settings will result in too many plays and excessive pass attempts. In the Settings and MM
Final Verdict in regards to Roughing the Passer
Put it on 50 or 51 [50 you may not see any, at 51 you may see too many]
51 will see some, not back to back, and will have more other penalties in most games.
50 you will see none and have almost no penalties
Zero is like 50
I'm not 100% sure that Roughing the Passer is adjustable without being repetitive. You have way too many, which increases other penalties or not many with fewer overall penalties.
EA needs to fix this
CDCOOL'S 15 MIN QUARTER: CPU vs CPU (WATCHED GM) MADDEN 23 SLIDERS and CPU vs CPU GUIDE
Revised and cleaned up on 9/11/2022
Disclaimer
I think everyone knows playing this way is a personal choice.
I have been for many years and it's a great immersive NFL experience
CPU vs CPU 32 Team Owner control in Offline Franchise
USER TEAM HELP (Season and Off-Season control)
Auto or Manual as the Owner of each Team is a personal choice I
Auto everything for all teams.
You have to use 100% of my settings in the OP, not just the sliders for these to work.
PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY STATS IN THE FORUM IF THEY ARE NOT 100% OF MY SLIDERS AND SETTINGS. (confuses people)
This is an NFL Offline Franchise (slider and settings) simulator
The Objective: Get NFL End of Season Stats and great animations in Franchise for CPU vs CPU games
Simmed game stats are not optimized to match up with 15-minute Quarter watched games in Madden Your watched season team stats will ruin your Franchise season because the stats will not match up with the simmed games using 15 Minute Quarters, your team players will lead in many categories.
This is why other slider developers are using 7-14 minute Quarters, they are trying to get the stats to match up for the games they do not want to watch with the Sim Engine. I played this way using 12-minute Quarters for years so I get it. I moved over to 15 Minute Quarters and Watching all the games for about 4 years now.
15-minute Quarter is a different animal, the 3D Engine stats will not match up with the Sim Engine games.
You need to use the 3D Engine 100% and watch all the games. Watching games can be time-consuming but I just let most play out, after testing and come back and look at the game stats. I have been playing Madden this way for many years. Your reward is getting good overall stats for all 32 Teams in Madden using the same Quarter length as the NFL. Watching the games are fun, you learn all the teams and become familiar with all the players like in
Fantasy Football.
Highly Recommended
A downloadable mod called Cheat Engine: Speed Hack, will Speed up Watched Games on the PC for Supersim watched games. It's a game-changer! No need to Normal or Fast Sim any games.
You can Watch a game in less than 15 minutes!
http://https://www.cheatengine.org/
My sliders are tested and recommended to have EVERY GAME for EVERY TEAM to be Watched or let played CPU vs CPU. All 32 teams are under Human control in Offline CFM, using 15-minute quarters adopted by the NFL.
These sliders work for the way I play,
Watching every game with 15-minute quarters using Slow Supersim End Game.
NOT PLAYING, SIMMING or CALLING PLAYS.
Your results may vary playing any other way, they may work but I've only tested as described.
You are the GM making GM decisions for all
32 teams and watching the results. Not mixing Simmed games with Played games.
The NFL DRAFT is where you make an impact and follow your draft picks if you choose to do so for all 32 Teams.
I'm happy with the results with
Madden 23 PC.
If you decide to try them, use every setting I have posted or you will not get the same results.
Check em out and let me how they are working for you :-)
Restart your system (OFF and ON) if needed because of bad games and Watch at least 3 full games before commenting.
ENJOY!

Play Over Rule
NO Profile Deletion is necessary for Madden 23
GAME ISSUES CAUSED BY FILE CORRUPTION
Typically a sign that a game has gone bad is listed below.
Not happening that often in Madden 23
Excessive Sacks of more than 11
Repetitive game issues with the same issue could require a PROFILE DELETION which I'm not seeing in Madden 23
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SLIDER GAME RESULTS
No major stat or slider issues with Madden 23 (Team/Player Sacks and TE Receptions are coded issues)
Passing attempts vs run attempts are good
Pass completion percentages are good
The running game is good
Penalties are good
Scores are good
Sacks can be high for some games not all
The number of Plays is good, 120 is not the standard, I counted and compared it to the number in the NFL.
Pass completion percentages are good: '50s-'80s (Season averages around 60-65%)
Passing Yards are good: 200's - 300's (400 are rare)
Running game is good: 100+ yards will happen
Yards per Carry are good: 4.5 and higher
Receiving is good: Drops are good
TLF's are good
Interceptions are good: 0-4
Pass Deflections are reasonable and varied
Special Teams and Kicking Game are good, getting Touchbacks on Kickoffs and long Field Goals.
Injuries are where they need to be as compared to the NFL

Using the Keyboard is difficult in Madden on the PC
I have an X91 Wired Controller for Xbox One/Windows 10 PC
You can do it without a Controller to a degree on the PC with the Keyboard but I think you still need one to complete the entire process.
Start a game
Step 1 press the "B" button to exit the game
Step 2 Press the "B' button again
Step 3 Press the small button with the three horizontal lines on the controller to get out of play selection
Step 4 Scroll down to Supersim and hit the "A" button
Step 5 Scroll down to Jump Forward and press "X" and Slow
Step 6 Press Jump Forward and then End of Game
