Playmakers Madden 17 Pro level sliders

[soonermagic88]

Really am enjoying this slider set so far. I've played three games so far and the only one that wasn't competitive was the first one. However I started that game without a kick return TD and a turnover on the CPUs following drive.
The only thing I haven't liked so far is the CPU seems to get a lot of their yards on big plays. My second game, Jamaal Charles tore me apart running and receiving.
Now, that could be due to me being rusty, having not played Madden in a while, and not having a great strategy on defense.
I'll play a couple more games and post up some stats later.

The quarter length and accelerated game clock affects gameplay as well, you should note. At least in my experience. When you have a low play clock, the CPU never has time to make adjustments. When I play on 9 minute no accelerated play clock, I give up 500+ yards a game on sliders I usually use on 15 minute, 14 second play clock. It also affects QB accuracy in my opinion and the game just felt faster. Like on 15 minute quarters, no matter what QB was starting, the CPU always had 65-75% completion percentages. On 9 minute no runoff, Aaron Rodgers was 54%, then the next game Alex Smith was 62%, next game Brees was 69%, next game Tyrod Taylor was 49% with 3 picks. I've just been testing different quarter lengths and play clock times in Play Now, and this has been my experience. I used to only play 15 minute, 13-15 second play clock for realism, but I think I'm going to boot up a new testing CFM and try 9 minute no runoff.

How are you defending the run? Cover 2 zone, Cover 3 flats, and 2 man under works best for me. I always get burned on outside runs when I call blitz plays. I only blitz on passing situations on my side of the field so I don't give up any huge play if they get the ball off without pressure.

I still see the occasional errant or target throws by the CPU. The real problem is the Human QBA but that is standard with the game EA makes the Human controlled qb way to accurate... Anywhere between 0-5 seems to be a comfort zone for the Human player. I also use 100 Run Block to eliminate a lot of the TFL the game renders on both sides.......you can either reduce Run Block down for Human or either increase the CPU Tackle slider to find a good balance catered to your skill set or team. I'm averaging roughly 5.2 YPC with Elliot in 9 games but that was inflated do to a couple big runs each game. It feels natural to me so I won't change or alter the sliders if it doesn't seem unrealistic Heck Jay Ajayi just had back to back games with 200 yards rushing IRL....how many people would consider that unrealistic in Madden? So it depends on your skill level and what you think might be acceptable....I no longer play these games looking for perfection because that simply isn't going to happen with Madden

I'm with you here. I focus more now on trying to get the game to represent Madden statistics rather than NFL statistics and I've been happier.

People always complain scoring is too high in Madden and that they never see a 3-10 game for example. Well I just had a 13-10 game and that was on Play The Moment which usually always ends up in 30+ scoring games.

The only thing that bugs me about Madden is non gameplay related things. Like developing players. 8 seasons in my CFM and there are only 41 players in the entire league with a OVR greater than 89. It's just so slow to develop. Even using T Dawg's XP sliders, I maybe get a Superstar/Quick development rookie to 86-88 by the time he's 26-27 and it becomes too expensive to develop further.

Do you input auto subs at main menu or cfm

Has anyone used these for player franchises? I find they work well as a defender (although getting ints as a safety seems near impossible due to hardly ever being targeted), but as a QB I'm wondering if I'll need to adjust the human sliders for running?

It seems that when you turn false start above 50, the CPU enjoys a drive or two a game where they get 5-15 false start penalties in a row...

They went from my 35 yard line to their 15 in one drive then got sacked at the 6.

I've never noticed this flaw.....

But if that's happening I'd suggest just leaving the slider at default 50 or going no higher than 52 on the setting

Thanks for the feedback
