Jarodd, great sliders, finally starting to have fun again with Madden.
2 questions:
1. How has your fumbling been? Still seeing lots of them, wondering if it is based on players, or do I need to be covering the ball better?
2. I have been using two controllers to change up the playbook for the team I play. Works well....are you just letting the computer use the teams playbook and if so are you seeing alot of unpredictable play calling....passing on 1st down? 3 passes in row, draw play or screen on 3rd down, ect? Curious if I really need to change the teams...but it has been great and very unpredictable when you put them in the playbook that matches their team.
Jarodd, do these tweaks to pass reaction/INT for USER make it harder to defend the pass? I've been getting shredded at the old settings, so if this makes it harder, I may just stick with the old settings.
I will be making all the other changes.
Yeah leave it at 55-20-0 if you are having trouble defending the pass.. Let me know how BBC it goes with the tweaks or I'll probably drop by your dynasty thread to check how it's going.

The fumbles have been normal for me. I'll have a few games where Bradshaw and Wilson put it on the ground for me a few times but nothing out of the ordinary. You probably need to cover up the ball sometimes depending on who you are running the ball with. Which set are you using? The tackling slider plays a big part in causing fumbles. If you are playing on any set higher then the green set you can lower the CPUs tackling down to the next set. Just don't lower the tackling below the the green set..
Yeah I use the default playbooks. I get a lot of balanced games from most of the teams I play... I would like to see some teams pass it a little more but I don't feel like messing with the controllers and stuff.. The Panthers actually passed the ball alot yesterday when I played them. That was cool to see..
Damn tough loss man. It was crucial since it was a division game.. What is your record right now?
i finished games against steelers and cardinals and lost to steelers and beat the cardinals who pick up kurt warner who came out of retirement. so im now 5-3. also got a few injurys a rookie wr rookie te and russell wilson. wilsons out for 4 weeks so ill have to lean on matt flynn but nothing to serious. next game against saints
Just started my CCM. I'm using your black set with all of your sliders, the only exceptions are penalties and special teams (I even decided to use your injury slider.)
I'm using house rules that dictate when you can go for it on 4th down as well as house rules to make kicking somewhat of a challenge. Other than that, I have none other than avoiding obvious exploits.
In my first game, I broke the rushing record with CJ. I was only averaging about 4 yards a carry into the 4th quarter but broke off a bunch of long runs after that.

Damn hopefully Flynn holds up until Wilson gets back.. Did you plug in the new tweaks I posted yesterday?
