How to Create a Pure 1:1 Ratings Ratio (Defaulting Madden)

You're right that you can change sliders in CCM, but unfortunately CCM does not allow you to perform the most important step... changing the difficulty to "Custom."

We can only choose between the four pre-set difficulties (Rookie, Pro, All-Pro, All-Madden). I've been experimenting and trying to create a 1:1 ratio in CCM but can't seem to find the proper balance due to the scripted A.I. for every difficulty that either favors or disfavors the CPU.

The sliders in offline CCM don't work right.CCM offline is broken.

Practice mode is not the mode to test things out from. Your much better off seeing it in a regular game.

We had a scnenario recently where we were shown a video show casing a pattern with how a TE would block under a certain situation. when that same test was done in a real game the outcome was totaly different, and it was not a issue anymore.

I cannot try any settings out when threshold is set to 0. I cant understand why anyone would want to create a bigger disparity in speed, and make the game much eaiser to score on.

Which would mean Grossman is playing above his ratings...doesnt' matter what they are. Thats why sliders are there, to balance it out for each person's skill level The game plays differently for EVERYONE.

Actually your statement is flawed. You just said your using Grossman. That now means your controlling the QB and making all the reads and deciding where to throw the ball, how is Grossman awareness a factor here?

Why not let the cpu play as Grossman and see if what you claim happens.

Try it out (Threshold at 0 and game speed on normal). You'll see that there isn't as large a disparity as you're used to when you play with a pre-set difficulty.

What do you mean by "help?"
Are those your stats or the CPU's?
How many minutes are your quarters?
Are you using accelerated play clock?
Are you using gameflow?
Which team were you/did you play against?

Give me details...
The game will play differently for everyone depending on the choices he/she makes. If you want to target Brandon Marshall 50 times a game that's your choice, all I'm offering is the 1:1 ratio.

Question for Teambuilder: Do I need to change the difficulty to custom in the game settings screen or in the "in game" settings when i press pause? I had already tweaked some sliders so my custom setting was already based on the allpro difficulty. Do i need to delete my old settings and change my difficulty to custom in order for it to not be based on my tweaks from all pro? I hope that questions isnt too confusing man.
