Armor & Swords All-Pro Slow Simulation Style Sliders

Not to take y'all off-topic, but quick question about the online CFM. I've only ever done offline, but I guess like you all I am going to bite the bullet until the actual patch comes out.

How often does "ea servers down" or "connection lost during the game" actually happen for you? I don't want to hate life because ea servers are sketchy haha

[azdawgpound]

ok so I changed my mind and re started a online cfm.


I simmed the pre season and got to the 1st game against the steelers.


this game had a lot of turnovers 6 in total 4 for me 2 for steelers.


the 1st quarter ended in a tie 7-7.... the second quarter I exploded for 21 points the steelers got another td 28-14 @ half.


second half and I could do nothing the wheel's started falling off manziel as he threw back to back to back int's 3 straight drives... we got shut out steelers score on a pick 6 by Troy P. 28-21.


manziel would find his stride though and lead 3 straight TD drives and found Jordan twice and moore once... steeler's score again but we was 2 much in 4th... we win 48-28.


we did get to big ben 5 times the steelers only got to manziel once for sacks.


Manziel was 24-45 3 TD's 4 int 317 yards 53% cmp rating
Big Ben was 12-18 0 TD 1 int 96 yards 66 % cmp rating


Tate had 35 carries 212 yards 3 TD's avg 6.1 ypc with long of 40
Bell had 16 carries 181 yards 3 TD's avg 11.3 ypc with long of 87.


Cameron was manziels security blanket as he caught 10 passes for 150 yards 2 TD's
Austin had 4 catches 52 yards
Gabriel had 3 for 32 yards


Wheaton had 3 catches for 86 yards
Brown had 4 catches 31 yards no karate kicks to face of lanning lmao


Sheard, Robertson each had 7 tackles 2 sacks combined
Gilbert, Dansby each had 4 tackles, Dansby had 3 sacks


Worilds had 10 tackles 1 sack
Shazier had 8 tackles
Troy P had 7 tackles 3 int's
Timmons had 7 tackles 1 int


this was a good game it if wasent for the 4 int's could of really been a blow out and the defense for steelers stepped up as well.


now its on to face the saints gonna fix the pass protection up to 95 see if brees can pick apart my defense.

I asked this same question about a week ago because I feel exactly the same as you do. I have ONLY ever done offline CFM. I tried online CFM 2 years ago and got disconnected from server every other game and I was hardwired in, pretty sad.

BUUUUUT, I asked this question this year and the response was very optimistic, stating last year most of the EA server drop bugs had been fixed and they are EVEN better this year. I started my online CFM a few days ago and got through 3 games with no problems.

Also on a side note a lot of times last year when I was just messing around in my offline CFM or playing skills trainer it would pop up and say EA disconnected from server, this year that has not once happened and I have logged many hours so far just messing around in the game.

I have a question for Armor and/or Quinn.

You both have WR catch so high, like 75/85 for both HUM and CPU.

My question is last year I tried it high like that and while Wr's rarely dropped wide open passes (as it should be) they also ALWAYS held onto the ball when they got hit as they caught it making spectacular catch rating kinda worthless, once dropped last year to about 45-50 they began dropping balls when gettin hit.

At such high slider settings is it still playing how it did last year set at around 45-50 or do they catch EVERYTHING?

ANother question for ya'll and I know I'm blowing up this thread lol, my bad but

Is the React time, INT and pass coverage sliders pretty set in stone?

I know last year these 3 were the biggest issue for me and once I got them perfected Madden 25 was one of the best games I have ever played for CFM. I know last year the Pass coverage slider greatly affected INT's, at 50 everything near a DB was picked, at 35 they swatted it and occasionally picked it off, INT slider was worthless last year and React I forget what that was even set at.

Nothing IMO is ever set in stone for anyone. What I mean is use the OP as a base to work off of for your playing style, skill level and approach to this game.

The best thing you can do is go to my Twitch Channel, click on past broadcasts and watch the following games at your leisure:

Week 2 vs Bills 9/6/14
Week 4 vs Raiders 9/6/14
Week 6 vs Packers
Week 7 vs Bears
Week 8 vs Jaguars


This will give you a clear picture on how the sliders perform inside an online CFM with the tuner and the opening day EA 53 man roster. It will show how I play the game, my style, skill level, play call routine, camera angle approach on defense etc.

AI has been really improved big time....the AI, animations are all on display on all these videos.

I now have a Dynasty thread going for my current Dolphins CFM. I will also broadcast CFM games on Twitch most of the time.

gonna give these a go with your final updated set.

Streaming an online Bills CFM right now with this slider set. Week 2, home against Miami.
