Cycloniac's TrueSim Madden 18 CFM Sliders

[Cycloniac]

As usual, the focus is on finding the balance between realistic stats and great gameplay. I got Madden on release day and have been testing since.

These are best used in Offline CFM (more on that later)


These are ideal either for Coach Mode, or CPUvCPU (Play The Moments set to Slow in CFM). I tend to mix the two. So, here they are:

Accel. Clock: On

Visual Feedback (Optional)
Personal preference here, but
On-Field Visual Feedback: Off
Drive Goals & XP Feedback: Off
Franchise Ticker: Scores Only
Franchise Gameplan Boost Notification: On
Coaching Tips: Off
Player Names: Pre-Snap Only

Auto Subs:

Out/In
All 60/80 except:
RB 83/85
WR 20/25
TE/FB 20/25

Within CFM
Game speed: Normal (9/11/17)
Quarter Length: 15 Minutes
Accel Clock: On
Min Play Clock Time: 14 Seconds

Load sliders into CFM, then change the following:

Penalties:
False Start: 60
Offensive Holding: 60
Defensive Holding: 60
Defensive Pass Interference: 60


Auto Subs (same as front end, but don't forget to change them! I change them for every team in my CFM):
All 80 in, 60 out except
RB (85 in, 83 out)
WR (25 in, 20 out)
TE/FB (25 in, 20 out)


Player Progression Freq: Every 4 weeks

XP Sliders:
TDawg's Madden 18 XP Sliders

I also set CPU gameplans (and my own) to red zone offense and red zone defense before every game, as well as changed the CPU's offensive schemes (credit to JoshC1977 for those):

Gameplan Instructions

Spoiler

Take control of the CPU coach the WEEK BEFORE your game (if starting a new franchise, this means you have to start in preseason)
Once CPU coach is under your control, advance to the next week (i.e. the week of your game)
For the CPU coach, change the offensive gameplannng to "Red Zone Offense" and defensive to "Red Zone Defense" (both are near the bottom of the list). Simulate the training. If you want to adjust their offensive scheme, you can do that here too. You may retire the CPU coach once done (they will not disappear for good). If you do not retire their coach before playing your game, make sure to adjust their autosubs to the below CFM settings.
For the User coach, change the offensive gameplannng to "Red Zone Offense" and defensive to "Red Zone Defense" (both are near the bottom of the list). Simulate the training.
Play your game.
Once that game is ended, don't forget to take control of the CPU coach for your next game before advancing.
Repeat Steps 1-6.

CPU Schemes

Spoiler

Bears: Balanced
Bengals: Balanced
Bills: West Coast or Spread (personal preference)
Broncos: Zone Run
Browns: Balanced
Bucs: Power Run
Cardinals: West Coast
Chargers: Balanced
Chiefs: Spread
Colts: Zone Run
Cowboys: Spread
Dolphins: West Coast
Eagles: Spread
Falcons: Balanced
49ers: Spread
Giants: Spread
Jags: Balanced
Jets: West Coast
Lions: Balanced
Packers: West Coast
Panthers: Power Run
Patriots: West Coast
Raiders: Spread
Rams: Power Run
Ravens: Balanced
Redskins: West Coast
Saints: West Coast
Seahawks: Balanced
Steelers: West Coast
Texans: Zone Run
Titans: Spread
Vikings: West Coast

To implement these, you can either do a 32 team CFM or the following:
Take control of a team's coach within CFM (hit R3 on PS4 with the CFM menus); select that team's coach....do not create a custom coach. Go to his scheme menu and change the offensive scheme (do not alter the playbook). Then, go to the far right-hand screen in the CFM menus and retire the coach. The coach will remain, you will only get the little story ("He will be missed...blah blah blah") and the changes will stick and you can do this over and over. I suggest doing this at the start of a CFM and then saving it as a "base" CFM file.

Yes, I have observed that, keeping an eye on it

Moves are auto

I import first, then make adjustments to the penalty sliders in CFM.

Roger..I'll keep an eye on it too..don't know who u put ur "curse" on when on D..but noticed if I put it on either safety they overreact to run plays..I'm going to switch to LB's seems less likely to overreact
