Armor & Swords All-Pro Slow Simulation Style Sliders

[JFB123]

After 1 game it seems 15 min. is a bit too much. I may try 14. The DB's also don't leave anyone open and jump many routes. I don't know if this has to do with the INT or pass coverage rating for the cpu. I also ran extremely well for being the Patriots. I feel like I can win anytime just by handing the ball off.

I think I'm going to try to lower pass coverage. It's really frustrating when you're using Tom Brady and throw 4 INT's in a game.

Besides the excessive route jumping by the cpu for interceptions and not being able to stop the rush too well, it plays very good. I lost by 2 scores.

I run 12 minute quarters with accelerated clock on 16. Number of plays are just a tad low but it gives me good scores.

And if I could give some unsolicited advice, before lowering CPU coverage spend some time in practice mode running pass plays against different coverage (and if you did not visit the skills trainer definitely do that).
Every interception I have thrown, and I've thrown more than I like, has been my fault. Whether it was an int or just an incomplete pass I have never felt cheated. Spend time in practice/skills trainer and use your checkdowns!

You mentioned not being able to stop the rush too well. Again before lowering sliders try altering your playcalling. Call plays that put 8 guys in the box on early downs against run orientated teams. Cover 3 and Cover 1 are good candidates.

Even better in my experience are certain zone blitzes. One of my go to run blitzes is SS Overload 3. This play blitzes SAM and the SS. Almost any run to the blitz side will get shut down. Equally good are Scrape blitzes. On Mike Scrape 3 the MLB blitzes strongside and the d line slants towards the weakside. If the offense runs strongside most of the time the Mike blows the play up unless the offense is using a lead blocker. But even then it disrupts the run. If they run weak side your line slant should contain that. But it can be vulnerable to inside zone runs.

Now if the only difficulty with the run game is that the AI cannot stop you, then disregard all that lol. And in these instances, go ahead and adjust sliders

Sorry for the unsolicited coaching session. I just like talking X's and O's.

Naw, I can stop them in the rushing game they just can't stop me. Getting about 5 ypc w/ Vereen.

3 of my 4 interceptions were on out routes. Maybe they're just broken or I can't hit them. Seems like the corner jumps it every time. It feels a bit cheesy to keep doing slants, ins and posts.

If it was only one game then don't sweat it. I just threw a 3 interception game with flacco. It happens sometimes.

Deep out or quick out?

The deep out is one of the hardest and most dangerous passes to throw, both in Madden and in real life. Teams are calling fewer and fewer out routes because of this. Personally I love them and if my WR has a favorable matchup I throw the deep out frequently. It is not broken but you have to be careful.
Unsolicited advice follows lol

Spoiler

Works better in off coverage. Before snapping always use coach stick and check the route running number. If it is negative, you don't want to throw the deep out (especially vs man coverage). Also helps to have a speed edge, but route running is more important. When it comes to actually throwing the pass, timing is key. Unload a bullet pass as the WR makes his cut (not before as you would with most routes as this does not give the WR enough room to gain separation). And lead him to the sideline. You may sail a few passes into the sidelines but that is fine. Throw the ball somewhat high to further guard against the DB jumping the route. final guideline, don't throw the deep out if your QB has less than 94 arm strength (can't remember what Tom has). There are a few other things, such as where the WR is lined up, but it is not necessary to know.

Quick outs are different and can be just as risky. Absolutely necessary that the CB is playing off by more than 5 yards. If he is (either single high safety or cover 4 alignment) find the flat defender. If it is the SS or a LB aligned above the LOS the throw should be there. If it is a inside corner or a LB playing on the edge of the line abort the pass.

I'm not the guy who posted about outs, but I just wanted to say thanks! That was great info!

i just heard from a poster in the last gen section that they have there DPI set at 1 and OPI set to 50 and are seeing both these get called in games gonna test this out and see if its true is so could even make game better.


i'll report back with my findings.


ok just tried this not one DPI or OPI called what I saw was crazy.... players gliding over to defend the pass and rb's running into the back there lineman and getting stuffed behind the line also saw buncha other weird animations like wr's running down field and u throw and all sudden its like they fighting with a invisible defender to get free like the game was lagging.


there were flags called but just normal and yet again my wr's te's were still getting mugged.

Sadly I don't think we will ever see PI's called. Crazy how that is the one thing that has never been fixed, even with 99 or 100 set on sliders it does not get called. But I am really enjoying the rest of the game, I just have gotten used to no PI's.
