Madden 19 CPU vs CPU Sliders

[tommycoa]

Jags whip the giants 31-13.

Small impression
Early in the second quarter, jags had the ball at giants 43, 4 and 2 and they go for it with a run to fournette and convert. Coaches manage the games a bit better. One of the best improvements and wasn’t even advertised.

Panthers pound cowboys 57-24. Zeke got injured after the first quarter . Dak threw 4 int. Did a write up with stats but the site locked me out and it never posted .

Guys, hold off on testing. I’m trying some adjustments, and it’s been a mixed bag but nothing drastic. Tried a higher speed parity threshold but didn’t like what I seen. Took away pass rush.

I’ve raised tackle to 35

Lowered pass block to 35, but about to bump back to 40, the old setting

Also giving 9 minute quarters a go. Not sure if we’ll get enough plays, and the user’s D will be ranked high and the offense will be ranked low. Where 10 minutes gives us 130 plays, 2 above the real 128 average. While 9 minute quarters will probably average in 108-118 range, that’s 10-20 less plays a game.

On nine minute quarters, the cpu utilizes the run clock feature sooner more than they do on 10 minutes. Earlier this release, i tested 9 minutes extensively, and there were too many games that had less than a 100 total plays.

But since the last patch, the game moves quicker with cutscenes and replays. Seems like there’s fewer replays. Need to run 9 minutes for at least 16 games to get a nice average.

10 minute quarters would probably give 128 plays if the punters ran clock more on punts. Thought of this the other night. There’s usually 5-8 punts a game and that’s probably 100 seconds of game time that doesn’t get elapsed like it should.

Tommy!, put down the chaloopa, I mean 🍗leg! Your getting grease all over the controller! Be careful sitting your Xbox on your wife's favorite Holiday placemat as not to burn it since you have been running your system 3 days straight! Lol! Substantial improvements in many aspects. Will be playing few more days till doing thorough assessment. 🍽️😱

Happy thanksgiving Man!

I played a 9 minute game last night and I was little shocked. There was 119 plays, which is obviously not NFL, but the stats added up realistically? I didn’t get that one. It was a 49ers Vs Vikings 10-23 win. Niners has many chances to score but blew it. I can’t remember stats off top my head but it was something similar like this;

385-395 total offense
95-102 rushing yards
267-254 passing yards
13-16 first downs
452-468-total Yards

All I remember top my head. I’m going to be opening up my laptop and letting games just play out today as I cook and watch football, is there anything you want me to test besides 9 minutes?

[tommycoa]

Made two changes to the OP.

9 Minute quarters

35 Tackle

The scoring has been slightly higher as well, which was needed. Most games were in the 20s before, but now I’m seeing 30-20 type games. Thinks that help the game play better: 1. Don’t skip cutscenes. The game gets pretty whacky and highly unstable when you do. Skipping cutscenes makes things more like Madden Arcade. 2. Go to Main Menu—->Share and Manage files—->load and delete——>Delete the file titled playcall; this improves playcalling. Gets a better run/pass, especially more run plays. 3. After each game played/watched, exit to Main Menu, then go back to CFM and play your game. If gameplay gets wonky, delete your profile and reenter the sliders. And before your 8th game,16th game, and the playoff, do a profile deletion each time to get the game back on track. If you dont delete y=the game may start to favor NFL Blitz. 4. If you see the crazy punt glitch, where during wind games, the team punting into the wind can only punt it 20 yards or so straight up in the sky, just super sim punts on normal. No way to tell if it’s a wind game before hand. So there will be one bad punt. This can really change a game. Wish they’d fix it. For now, this is all we can do. 5. Go to Files and Settings; find playcalling; delete the file called Suggestions. Also I’m using the active rosters. Main difference i see using this setup is this: inside the ten yard line, you rarely see the cpu come out in jumbo formations. They keep spreading the field and this results in more touchdowns. There are other smaller nuances going on with using these particular settings, but after 30+ games with this combo, I feel like playcalling and formation use is way more dynamic. Simply put, it seems like the teams play more towards their schemes. 6. PLAY THE KEY MOMENTS ADVICE: If there’s games you’d like to Play the Key Moments on, I suggest using 15 minute clock with 25 runoff for those games. I’m not sure the 10 minute clock will give enough plays. 15/25 should work aces for the amount of plays you watch with play the key moments. 15/25 will keep the qbs audibling. Gota defensive battle going with the 11-2 Texans (#1 D, best team in the league) vs. the 10-3 eagles who are coming off a 30-11 beatdown from another 10-3 Rams team. Right now it’s 7-3 with a minute and a half before the half. Before you load sliders, delete your profile and choose expert and sim upon Intro Setup.

Use default Auto subs. Game treats auto subs different when you don’t use accelerated clock. ***************** Formation Sub tips: Here in the playoffs, for this next game, im messing more with formation subs for running backs. It took maybe 2-3 minutes to make these subs. Adds a little more strategy to the games. The running backs are the only formation subs I’ll use. After the tips, there’s stats from this strategy for the Lions/Eagles game. I’ve already got the other playoff teams setup like this. 1. Power backs are in all: single back/pistol/shotgun 2 or 3 TE sets 2. I formation and offset I sets 3. Shotgun sets where the running back is about a half yard behind the QB, it’s kind of like the Pistol, but not quite. These forms have more power plays. Elusive/recieving backs 1. Single back/Pistol 3 wide reciever sets 2. Shotgun sets where the RB is lined up directly beside the qb. This will be the only formation subs I’ll do. Some teams, like the lions, have a slew of good backs, and now their top 2 backs are out. For the eagles, i put clements in the aforementioned power type sets. This really helped the run game. Made it way more realistic, and the coaching seemed to use a wide variety for both the Lions and the Eagles. Clement (power back)13-73; 4 catches for 20 Sproles (elusive/recieving back) 8-30; 3-2 recieving Smallwood (power ball) 4-18. Lions didnt run the ball much; their top 2 backs were out and they have a playbook similar to the Pats, so they passed a lot more than they did in the wildcard playoff game. Just a different gameplan this week. Lions backs had Just 14 carries but 8 catches, so 22 total touches. Eagles controlled the time of possession and that’s how the won against their D. The Eagles wore the Lions stout D out and survived 2 giveaways and 0 takeaways. Eagles D played lights out and they were good in the season according to stats. Both dlines effected the outcome of this contest. Lions running backs Rushing/Recieving Riddick (elusive/reciving) 5-21/6-26 Johnson (power) 8-19/ Abdullah (elusive/recieving) 1-9/2-29 The Pats Playbook is the most balanced of the playbooks as far as passing game goes. What i mean is, you see a better distribution of passes to all the targets. The lions playbook has the same kinda setup. ************************* STATS and AVERAGES!!!!! Pretty good stuff and close enough in averages that I now feel 110% confident that these are the best around. This is from 15 ballgames played.

Hey Tommy so I have 2 games left in my initial season with the old sliders post patch. I will post end of season stats when I finish those two games today, but I have seen some differences post patch.

Most glaring one is the run game being overpowered, seems like patch improved blocking and possibly RB IQ as well. The other one is INT’s, I’ve had at least three games of QB’s throwing 4-5 INT’s, but then there is games where there is nothing, so may just be a glitch in the Matrix. I just find it odd considering I’m using the Eagles and their suspect DB’s, but I’m pretty sure we lead the league in INT’s.

Like I said as soon as I finish these last two games I’ll post some stats and thoughts. I did see you updated the OP but I’m gonna hold off and finish this season with these sliders to see how things balance out, then next season I’ll run with the updated sliders.
