A Definitive Guide to CPU-CPU, Play the Moment, and Super Sim

[MotorCityManiac]

Sadly I come with very bad news...

Yesterday (9-11-20) I purchased Madden 21.

I created an offline franchise with active rosters.

After using the “backdoor” or “workaround” to watch CPU vs CPU in franchise mode I have uncovered a horrible glitch.

If you select the usual “supersim” on “slow” to watch cpu vs cpu...you are able to watch the entire game. However...After the game is over and you exit to the menu, the game crashes every time. Losing all data.

This has been tested 5-6 different times...with me even punching in to play a couple downs to see if anything changed.

It hasn’t.

Even the workarounds are broke.

Before you start the game, disconnect your machine from the internet. This has worked for at least 15 people.

If only cpu vs cpu actually played like a NFL game instead of a arcade game. Another year, another wasted hours of trying to get the game to play like a NFL sSim.

Cpu has 18 passes to receivers, all while the hum cpu team can only pass short to rb and te's. Cpu moves in pocket and throws ball away, hum cpu drops back 15 yards. Cpu dbs like glue, hum cpu no where close. All with the same settings. Default, slider sets, nowhere close to sim football

That's all with no interaction with the coordinators. You really want to see arcade unrealistic game, talk to the coordinator. After you do though, you will have the complete opposite effect. So if it tells you to throw for 400+ and 0 interceptions. Your qb (no matter who it is) won't hit for 200 in 40 plus attempts and 3 ints


Real NFL players wish they were as good as Madden makes them

Edit your gameplan to get the CPU to call the plays you want. I let my team play for a year with the stock playbook, then in year two I really went in depth and set it up exactly like I want. Now my team plays with the exact style I want and uses as much of the playbook as I want. It really makes the game fun when you're putting together your playbook, imagine the play is going to be used for a player on your roster you've been developing who has strengths that will be utilized with that play. It makes things immersive. Yeah, its mildly tedious, but its so much fun to watch your team in action after you've done the work.

Is there a way to do that in M21?

Nevermind, I figured out how to make it work. You have to 30 team control and any team you play, move your controller to the team your playing against. You can't play as your team as it penalizes you and makes the game play against how well your players play.

If you go by gameplay, your top 10 players play nowhere near their ratings. Play against them, and wow they play well

Did the gameplay get any better for cpu vs cpu for madden 22 anyone know?

[Mcgibblets82]

Gameplay, in my opinion, appears to be the same for the most part. At least on pc anyway. But the pc version is basically the same version as ps4/Xbox one versions. So gameplay could possibly be improved for next gen, but I suspect it's probably not.

I hope to find out about next Gen soon. I finally was able to order one, but stupid walmart is saying my ETA is like a month and a half away
