Just played a game with these sliders (no ST or auto-subs changes, fatigue at 50, 15-min quarters w/18-second runoff) and it felt very realistic. I played the first half calling my own plays and it was too easy, especially on defense. Locker was completely incapable of moving the ball against my base Cover 2 which is probably about right. I could have been up by much more than 20-0 if I hadn't taken some really bad sacks or thrown really dumb passes. In the second half I tried Gameflow...I hated almost every defensive playcall and half the offensive ones, but trusted my coordinators to see what would happen. I'm sure it would work a lot better if I actually gameplanned instead of using the default plans.
As much as it drove me crazy calling safety blitzes up 20 when Locker had 3 yards passing in the entire first half against a base defense...using Gameflow and playing with these sliders was the most fun I've had playing Madden vs. the CPU in years. The game feels so fast-paced and it flies by when I don't have to trudge through play-calling menus 150 times/game. The combination of rapid-fire plays with realistic gameplay is perfect...it was like DVRing a game and hitting the 30-second skip button after each play.
Game notes:
Bradford had a minor ankle injury that knocked him out for a couple plays, but he was back in on the next series. No other injuries.
I only saw Richardson come out due to fatigue once; every other carry by Pead or Stacy was my from my own depth chart adjustments.
Tavon Austin disappeared at some point in the 4th quarter -- I'm assuming fatigue.
Every penalty was a false start.

armor, thanks so much for providing the community your sliders. i just picked up madden and will be using your sliders. if they are anything compared to your sliders for mlb the show (which are incredible btw), then we may be able to enjoy madden once again!
I also agree with you said sir. I thought and feel the exact same lol. Ive been trying yours and Fiddy's like them both. Yours are more my style with the house rules and how I play. Now if I can just decide between the Dolphins and Eagles lol really enjoying Madden though.
These sliders were built for me... I never use user catch and I never switch on defense... So glad I found them... I'm seeing some amazing DB play, must be because DPI is set to 0. Check out this:
Played my first game with these and it was a blowout, I crushed the giants as the redskins 45-17.
