I know for simmed games you'll get QB injuries so long as the team carries at least 3 healthy QBs.

For played games, yeah I'm not sure. Injuries really could be bumped to 51 but I wish there was a 50.5 setting. It's a VERY touchy slider. Could test this out easily in a test game by jacking the slider up and intentionally taking sacks over and over.

Thanks for responding! Yea I agree, injuries are strange. Always seems to be the same players and positions. Same injuries too. I don't think I've seen an injury be more than 4 or 5 weeks from a played game.

I used your Madden 21 sliders for previous gen and NG and considered them the best.

In the half a dozen games I have played with these, have to say they don’t disappoint.

In reading the previous replies, the one thing I noticed with previous sliders and these ones, it is imperative you are not using the D line. There just seems to be something with the user input being there that makes the CPU run game less effective. Not here to post crazy theories, but I have noticed this with all sliders and not just these ones. I really think usering the safety is the way to go as it seems to put more responsibility on the user and helps the CPU run game while also eliminating the CPU throwing 80% completion pcts.

Love the previous sliders and these ones for this Madden.

Happy holidays!

Do you think just being on the d-line with no user input will affect anything?

I have not tried that.

Not to derail Mike’s thread with something that has is not proven by testing, but I really do think usering the D-line and initiating the swim moves, etc. you have more of an advantage and the CPU just seems less effective when using it, especially with the ground game. I even think usering the LBs makes the run game easy to shut down. When usering the safety, you still have to play run fits while accounting for passing.

I mite try a few games at safety n try ur theory. I posted bout a week ago sayn I think me controlling my lb on run plays causes my NT to dominate by hw quickly I react and shoot gaps so playn wit a safety will allow me to compare

Have played some great games so far. Only 5 games into my pats franchise. Couple things I’ve noticed so far that id like to get some feedback on from fellow players.

Turnovers: I can’t seem to force any fumbles or interceptions. Only turnovers I seem to get are strip sacks. I try not to user defend and let the animations play out but I just get dropped int over and over again. Anyone else have this issue ?

Multiple rb bad days/ good days: I remember on past maddens for some reason if you didn’t have success with one rb there was a times for whatever reason holes would open for another a lot more. I liked it bc it mimicked a realistic feel of one rb just having a good/bad day. Has anyone noticed this with madden 22? It seems to be gone for the most part for me.

User defend as in jump balls and switching defenders mid throw
