How are you guys having these high scoring games? I can't pass or have an offense for anything and I'm using these sliders
I think this year more than any other you really have to play smart football. If you haven't done all of the skills trainers, try doing those. With running, you have to be extremely patient and just follow your blocks.
Hey A&S first I want to say thank you for the time and effort you've put into building these sliders for us players!
I've been experimenting with them all weekend long and playing a lot of play now games as we wait for the Madden 53 man rosters. Once they come out I'll be playing a franchise as my Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
I must say for the most part I have really enjoyed playing with your sliders! I've made a few tweaks to try and get some better results.
I lowered QB accuracy to 5 for both User/CPU
I raised fatigue up to 65 to try and get more substitutes but after this past game I'm going to try 60 again.
I raised CPU pass blocking to 95
I'm using normal game speed
Other than that I'm using everything else as you have created.
As mentioned above I'm kind of fooling around in Play now playing as random teams to get a feel for the sliders until I start my Bucs franchise. In my latest game I was the Giants vs Redskins and here are my results

I'm going to have to lower fatigue back down to at least 60 as Morris disappeared for the Redskins after halftime and Jennings disappeared for me for the entire 4th quarter as well.
Not a lot of penalties called this game and I was using a different penalty slider before and may be readjusting back to those for more penalties.
One last thing was RG III was unstoppable until late in the game. He was 21-26 before missing his last 6 attempts late in the 4th by being more aggressive and attempting longer passes. That's why I've lowered CPU accuracy to 5 as they are still deadly accurate.
Also when I play defense I play on player lock almost always as a LB. Just wondering if anyone else does the same?
