Im seeing the stars make plays and get the ball without the gimmicks. Didn’t like the superstar thing, all the stuff lighting up on the field, and i just dont trust it. It’s too much like how they ruined ncaa back in the day with overpowered Impact Players. I think the superstar abilities do still come into effect with them turned off, it’s just not as overpowered.
With it on, you’re gonna be constantly fighting momentum problems. The game will get too streaky with stuff like the Wagner thing. You adjust fumbles, another hole gets punched in the ship and there’s too many tfls or ints or long runs etc.
That’s the one thing that ive noticed for sure about these sliders and madden. You have to have all the gimmicks turned off. Even old gimmicks, stuff like accelerated clock, instant starter, career clock. Any of that stuff being on throws too many monkey wrenches into the mix.
Seems like when it’s bare bones, the sliders work mostly as they should with the excpetion of the pass defense sliders, but those seem better this year. In year’s past, nobody really could get a hold on this one.
Best analogy i can come up with. Say you have an official Jenga set and a knock off set. The knock off jenga is like the gimmicks in this game, when you stick that piece in with the official Jenga pieces, it doesn’t quite want to fit. It almost fits, but ultimately you can’t use it.

I just finished the 1st week of games, all post patch, controlling all teams, so I'll try it the 2nd week with the superstar mode off and see what happens. Hopefully it'll help bring the QB completion % down if nothing else. Most games the QB's seem to be in 75-85% range, some higher, even after lowering the QBA to 43. Of course my lowest rated starting QB, Dilfer, who isn't a star player still completed 21 of 22 passes in his game vs a decent defense.
The high % of completions vs good defenses, way too much passing when not using a custom PB(Elway threw 45 times even tho the team was way ahead most the game)and the high fumbles when there were enforcers in the game were the biggest issues week 1.
