Jarodd21s Madden 16 All-Madden Sliders

[mjhyankees]

Hey Jarrod how you doing ? Im using one of your more intense set of sliders. And it working out very well. The only problem I have is I can't tackle anyone. I put my tackling up to a hundred and the CPU running back Still breaks multiple tackles every play. I tried to counter this by reducing the CPU run blocking to zero. And it helps in that I get more guys on the ball but he's still breaking way too many tackles it so unrealistic. Any thoughts. By the way I just try and use the X button. Because the square button Linda too many missed tackles. But the X button doesn't seem a lot better.

I know I been M.I.A. Been busy with a few personal stuff. Tweaks coming soon.

So I don't have the original roster anymore to work with I suppose that I could try and delete everything and restart the game, but my internet isn't strong enough to connect me to be able to download any of the new patches and whatnot. So I'd have the original rosters like I want, but would have that huge confidence bug that the original game came with. So I guess my question is, do you know a way to get the original rosters back so I can edit their speed ratings like you did, without deleting everything else? I've never done a restart like that before so I'm not sure how it works. Otherwise, what would you suggest for a speed threshold?

Did you ever figure this out? I haven't done that before myself. I just finished up my Rosters last week using the end of the regular season roster. You should role over to somebody's house with Internet and download the last patch.

I'd say 85%-95% fumble rate when rushing a QB. Covering the ball doesn't effect the outcome. Carrying attribute doesn't effect the outcome. I've tried adjusting the actual Fumble slider but doesn't seem to effect the QB enough without making the rest of my players never fumble. Has anyone had these problems or have any advice?

Yeah you can raise the USER fumbles to 5 if you feel like that's a problem. I tried testing it at 5 and it was okay but the overall gameplay seemed to get a lil easy for me so I went back to 0. If you have a scrambling QB and like to run with him you should invest XP into his carry rating.

I was wondering if these sliders work if I just play player mode or is it best to create my player and add him onto the roster then play as a coach/owner for the team?

I've never played in player mode before but I do like created myself on my team and balling out with him for years.

Otherwise, I'm worried the slider set may be too easy when my roster is better, and I'll never get a challenge. Unfortunately, I am 4-2 right now. My passing game gets me just under 300 yards per game, 3 touchdowns, 1 interception. With a rookie in Jameis Winston, I would prefer those numbers to be a little lower. Otherwise, as Winston progresses, I fear he'll hit 5k yards and 50 TDs every year. Charles Sims, with about as bad of an offensive line to run behind as there is (lineman OVRs are 79, 85, 79, 74, 72), is on pace for around 1400 yards. I average 36 points per game. I average 61 plays per game, which is low for NFL standards, yet I score many more points. Not good. The defense is playing as I want it to. With Gerald McCoy, Lavonte David, and Alteraun Verner being the only guys rated above an 80, I'm giving up 30+ points per game. Not that I "want" that lol. But at the same time, it is what I want because it means the game is playing right for me. And for the most part, the CPU isn't getting bullcrap plays against me, which is nice. Giving up that many points seems to be based on my lack of talent on the roster as opposed to, for example, 5'9 Brandin Cooks winning jumpballs over 6'2 Jonathan Banks all game long or Darren Sproles trucking my entire defense on his way to the endzone. Of the top of my head, here's what I'm rolling with: Accuracy 7-45 Pass blocking 5-60 Catching 40-43 Runblocking 8-65 Fumbles 10-60 Reaction Time 40-100 Interceptions 40-80 Pass Coverage 40-100 Tackling 40-80 Special Teams- USER & CPU FG Power- 50 FG Accuracy- 50 Punt Power- 55 Punt Accuracy- 100 Kickoff Power- 60 The first things I'm going to change to try and "fix" my offensive dominance are the defense's INT and Tackle sliders. I don't want to lower my accuracy any further. I'm only completing 60% of my passes as it is, and I remember when I had it at 5, it was in the 40%. With CPU pass coverage and reaction time already maxed out, the only other option appears to be messing with the INT slider, and perhaps the pass blocking one. I also don't want to lower my run blocking anymore, as it seems to cause below average defensive lineman to get into my backfield far too quickly, far too often. As it is now, Jerrell Casey (TEN), Cameron Jordan (NO), and JJ Watt (HOU) all have been getting into the backfield quite a bit, without allowing much lesser players to do the same. Long story short, I think I like the way the lines interact at 8. I do want the linebackers to pursue and/or fill holes better, so I'm hoping that raising the tackle slider will accomplish that. I really do like my defensive sliders. They give me a challenge while not making it too unrealistic. Drew Brees got hurt in the middle of game two, and their back up played like a back up. Having my setting at 45 instead of 70 is a huge drop I know, but the elite quarterbacks still play like elite guys. It's the lower rated guys that seem to suffer the most from this slider drop. Same with the Catch slider. Like I said, I was tired of Brandin Cooks winning jump balls whenever the CPU felt like it, and I was tired of the CPU's 60 OVR WR catching everything in sight while Mike Evans has drops every game. Dropping the CPU catch slider hasn't seemed to effect the top guys for the CPU. DeAndre Hopkins and Kelvin Benjamin still made exciting catches. Finally, bumping the Fumble slider to 10 seems to solve my quarterback fumbling problem. Winston still fumbles from time to time if I don't slide, but not every single time like before. Jarodd (or anyone else I guess), any other suggestions on how to nerf my offense a little bit more without it getting too wacky? Do you think raising the CPU INT and Tackle sliders will accomplish what I'm looking to do? Thanks a lot for all your work, your sliders gave me a great baseline to work with!

You definitely should max out the CPUs INTs if you feel like your passing is too good. You should also keep working with that left stick until you can get the USER accuracy down to 5. That's the lowest you can go with the USER accuracy and make all the throws and get the best challenge from the CPU. Anything lower you'll get a few too many passes sailing on you and your limited to drags, slants, ins, and deep routes.

Hi Jarodd, finally got into season 2 of your sliders. I went 4-12 on the blue set with the rams while working to get some of my skills back. I upgraded my oline in FA that relly improved my run game. I am much more competetive now and is 2-1 in the new season. One thing I am noticing is the ovr boost my players are getting. I am regulary seeing +3 OVR changes. I feel my roster is playing a bit too strong. I moved away from the trick with assigning a new coach to the team i am playing only to retire him after playing the game (drive goal workaround apparently). What is yours and others experience with boosts?

How did that 2nd season turn out? With my Roster edits and using the black set the CPU still gives me the challenge I need. Maybe you just improved your game like you said and you can slowly start raising the sliders somewhere in between the blue and black set now.

Blast from the past. Where you been hiding MJH? Haha! Man I'm not having issues witj the broken tackles or maybe I just tolerate it for the challenge but that's weird you didn't see an improvement when you cranked the USER tackling up. When I had it at 45-50 months ago the CPU could barely run on me and would fall way too easy for my taste. I don't know what to tell you about that man.
