JoshC1977's M17 Sliders

[sms024]

Well crap. I didn't notice the other changes so I ended up playing a few games with the OP except 50 MM injury

This is one of the issues I had with the ST sliders...it was good in some ways, but started taking away from the ratings.

On the set I posted:

Pros

• Gameplay engine is 'happy'...it's pretty much as balanced as possible, so seeing a ton of variety dependent on ratings.
• Definitely seeing less Robo QB and more inaccuracy by the CPU (mainly weaker QBs). Pass accuracy stats less based on coverage and more on QB ability.
• Run game is solid (dependent on ratings)

Cons

• The pass rush won't be as consistently good as it was on the older setup (I sorta consider that a 'pro' as well). However, it will still be there as matchups dictate.
• Coverage won't always look as tight...but it is still effective....again, as matchups dictate.
• Will it be as tough? Not sure yet....

In case you haven't noticed, the MO is really balancing things as much as possible. This year is more about keeping things close to default.

One other thing....I've been playing with these on both 15 min/20 sec acc clock and on 9 min/no acc clock. Either setting works well...I am testing both to see which might be better from a rotation/fatigue standpoint.

That sucks....there are numerous changes here (including the MM set to AM). Just double-check everything....

Yeah, I managed to catch the change to AM, just not the other things. still got good games though. I'll get the right stuff plugged in so I can give some appropriate feedback

Just got my first game finished. Man, it was a blast. 1st quarter was punts, 2nd saw a few scores. 14-10 at half, I had the lead. Came put in the 3rd quarter and first play, gave Hyde the ball on a read option and it went for a 73yd TD, then forced a 3&out. Hadn't had much special team luck but then I returned the punt for a TD. A few plays later I make a perfect call and bring a cover 3 CB blitz, and luck would have it that the offense called a PA pass. By the time the fake was finished, my corner was there and caused a fumble, which was picked up by one of my guys, and taken to the house. I was going crazy. I scored 21 points in like 2 minutes. The rest of the game was pretty boring after that and I won 52-24. First game with that kinda score.

I'd like to add that in the 4th quarter, the D started stripping, causing Hyde to lose the ball like 3 times. Had never seen that before so it made me rethink never covering the ball.

Animations and reactions looked really good, no superhuman deflections or any nonsense. It was a solid game and had a nice, realistic game day feel. After a scoreless first quarter I thought for sure it'd be a defensive game, but football is unpredictable and that aspect showed.

This is however, only one game. So I'll get back in tomorrow and see if the next 2-3 games feel the same. Really like it either way

Josh, when you set the difficulty to all madden in the mm, did you delete your profile and go through the intro again?

Good question...and no, I did not.
