Madden 17 Slider Sets Reviewed by whosnext00

[whosnext00]

So in this thread I'm going to be reviewing various slider sets throughout this forum and elsewhere. For slider sets elsewhere, I'm not 100% sure of the etiquette so I won't be posting links but will post the sliders all separated by spoilers. If there's one I'm missing, please let me know and I'll check it out. I hope this project gets some traction so I don't let it fall apart.

I'll do Default sliders as well. IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS OR ARE AFRAID OF SLIDERITIS, GO CHECK OUT FIDDY'S AVERAGED OUT SET - http://www.operationsports.com/forum...xcel-file.html

And now for the first set!

According to me this slider set is designed to bring out realistic gameplay, animations and stats, so let's see if it holds true.

Thoughts

Of course I like this set because I created it. This set presents a very realistic game that culminates through variance and balances itself out throughout a season. It uses 0's to prevent suction blocking and 100's to induce Pass Interference calls and more realistic fights for the ball. It also uses Threshold of 100 because, "the NFL is a game of inches" lol and there really isn't a huge advantage in speed. It also takes better advantage of the other rating such as agility, etc.

This set is quite challenging but also works very well in Coach Mode.

The only issue I have seen so far is the TFL stat but I'm happy with the rest of the game so will probably leave it as is.

Thoughts

This is a good solid set that plays a little differently than other sets in that the gameplay feels a bit slower, however there's the added benefit of introducing animations you may not see or notice in other modes and very realistic stats.

QB completion percentages are a bit high and I notice it because that stat is in your face throughout an entire game. There also might be a few too many big plays and there are no pancakes.

This set is surprisingly challenging for it being a pro set. However for coach mode it gets a little out of hand but seems to balance itself out a little throughout a season.

A glaring issue is that this set introduces the False Start glitch in CFM in Play the Moments where False Starts happen back to back, but that mode isn't the intention of this set. This can be a serious issue because you lose a lot of yards, it can cause you to lose a game and you can't try to jump the defense.

Overall I really like this set, it plays really well although a little slow and 90% of the stats are very realistic. If I used this set, I would probably reduce the play clock or runoff to reduce the total yardage to be more competitive with the rest of the league.
