Madden 21 CPU vs CPU Sliders 15 minute or 10 Minute quarters

[tommycoa]

Live playbooks working like they did before. Run/pass ratios are better. Just gives me better real nfl stats when i have these on.

How to use live playbooks in CFM with 2 controllers.

SHOUTOUTS:

Big shout out to Mike N and HC0023 for pointing me into the direction of default settings this year. Default All Pro like Josh uses was also a huge piece in these sliders puzzle. I tried all the default play levels like I do every year and see which plays best and adjust from there. HC0023 has been enjoying all pro default since release, and I followed his lead. Cdcool was also the first I saw that used the penalties maxed out. I tested a set by him early in release. Twix also gave me a few suggestions. Teleo as well. Info from Raiderren last year has also been instrumental. Also had several conversations with Playmakers. Got the game late this year, on actual release day and tried a total community approach. If I forgot anyone, let me know and I’ll add you to this intro. Doncropper also lead me into the right direction with what to do with the game crashing in cfm using slow sim. Special thanks to all. If you try something new with this set and it works, let me know, and I’ll give it a shot. So much division this year. Madden is a great place to do team work.

ROSTER SUGGESTION FOR PS4 GUYS

I’ve written quite a bit about this roster from Stayodd in the thread. Search his I’d on share and grab these. It’s like a patch for the game. Fixes so many things. I’ve got 35+ games and have yet to see the qb back pedaling glitch. Game is amazing with this roster set.

Qb rushing stats:
When you sim through a season and don’t watch or super sim the games, the qbs don’t rush for much yardage at all. Not even Lamar Jackson, he usually has 200 yards rushing. It’s a joke. I found a fix for it.

Okay, just tested super simming a ravens/browns game in cfm on Fast Speed. Mayfield ran the ball 7-33 and Lamar Jackson ran it 12 times for 63 yards. You watched 1 game, your team, and fast simmed an entire week, it’d take 15-20 minutes to do a week’s worth of games. I think I’m gonna start doing this. Love seeing the qbs have rush stats through the season in the simmed games. Hate that we have to do this, but at least it’s possible.

So for this, you’ll have to take control of all 32 teams, so you can Super Sim on Fast speed all the games you don’t want to watch in a week.

In the past, super simming on Fast speed effed with the stats. It prouduced tons of yardage, but it my test game, Cleveland had 365 total offensive yards—136 rushing and 229 passing. The ravens had 220 passing and 173 rushing.

Fixing the excessive qb sacks:

Gain control of your opponent for the week and go to that coaches coaches schemes. Once inside make sure it’s not set to one of the vertical schemes. These have the strong arm archetype and cause the qbs to get sacked too much at times. I’ve had no more than 6 sacks since I’ve stated doing this. I just choose the best fit that isn’t a vertical scheme. This is a quick fix. Only takes seconds to implement.

Using default XP sliders

Gameplay sliders:

Simply made Triangle, the Import Custom Sliders button. Then change the Injury slider to 10. This opens up punt returns. You’ll see way better returns.

I do this before I play a game. I’m not deleting profile. If i see a crazy game, I’ll delete profile and reset the stuff in main menu. Just seems to play better right now with sliders same in cfm and main menu.

One last step:
Go to Options and then Sterling’s. Go to second tab and and Game Options.

Change the gameplay options to match this:

Auto flip defensive play call ON

Defensive Ball Hawk ON

Defensive Heat Seeker OFF

Defensive Switch assist OFF

I have been using pro default for a few days and it is playing great!

Haven’t got to play the trial yet. I always start with default rookie while i wait for a patch during the early release. Default pro is good too. If i go default though, rookie always seems the best.

On pro, what’s the biggest problems your seeing or does it look good enough as is?

When I get the game, I’ll start as usual with the pro default and work from there. From what you posted in your thread, it looks like default is pretty good right now.

I have been playing default pro for several games and it has played great!

Just got the game loaded up. Liking what I see early on. Something kind of hidden that’s cool is it doesn’t take so long to delete profile anymore. When you do it, after the Intro you go to the game, it doesn’t put your in a pro bowl match or a Face of franchise demo.

Qb play is way better as well. Lots of moving, scrambling around. They look human out there, more so than last year.

Likening the pro default early on. I haven’t downloaded any patches. Just playing out of box. Doing play now, 15 minute quarters 13 second runoff. Turned all the extra stuff off.

Saints with an early 3-0 lead.

Loving the improvements to qb play.

Hey Tommy! Which system did you get it for, XBox? Also digital or disc? I'm thinking of trying to download it, if there are not issues in doing that. Looking forward to your insights as always!

Got it on ps4, disc. Downloading the patch. It’s taking forever. Play a few game with no patches. Liked what I saw. Especially with qb play. Much improved. Some of the best I’ve ever seen. Great pocket awareness. Can’t wait to see how it is with the patches.

Another huge improvement, it only takes 1 minute to delete the profile and have the game start back up (at least it was that way straight up out of box version sans patches.) Deleteing the profile used to take at least 5 minutes for the intro and such before you returned to main menu.

Not many upgrades other than that. Xfactors can be played while being turned on it seems. Way toned down. It was the dlinemen last year that made the xfactors unplayable.

Not many other upgrades though beyond this. I’ll never touch the yard, face of franchise or MUT. I wasnt outraged by the lack of cfm features when it was announced, but now that I’ve seen that it’s basically the same, it kinda sucks.
