TEAM SLIDERS ARE BACK!!!
Alright guys I saw the post by Joe3061 about a week or so ago and it renewed my interest in bringing back the Team Sliders concept, I have been putting these out there the last few years for Madden and NCAA. So I went into the Lab and tried coming up with a way to make this work this year. I have figured out a way to do it again based off of NFL Team Stats. I will continue to post updated team sliders weekly as long as the response it there. Here are the guidelines.
- I only play No-Switch on Defense, I pick 1 player each play and follow his assignment with no switching players during the play.
- I use Madden to call my plays on both offense and defense, but I allow myself to pick from any of the 4 plays he picks. But I do make my own decisions on 4th down, because of his idiotic way of wanting you to punt when you are in field goal range.
** Here is the big one, this is the way to use these. You only enter the sliders in for the team you are playing. So if you are using the Jets (Human) aganist the Titans (CPU) you enter in the sliders that are on the sheet for the Titans. Believe me guys this works. **
An example of 2 games I played yesterday:
Jets (ME) vs Titans (CPU)
I won 26-17. Tough defensive battle, never mind the score, it was all about field position and crucial turnovers. Jets had about 180 yards of total offense and the Titans had about 215. But they made a big mistake with an early INT for a TD thrown by Collins. Then with less then a minute remaining in the game while driving for the winning FG and down 19-17 they tried a screen to the HB and he dropped the ball but he was behind Collins when he did it, so it was a live ball that I picked up and returned for a TD with just seconds remaining. Both qbs had comp % in the low 50's!! With overthrows, underthrows and drop passes all over the place due to the tight defense.
Giants (Me) vs Cardinals (CPU)
I lost 20-17. Last second FG by Rackers ended it. Crazy game that had each team over 200 yards of total offense at the half. But I threw 3 INTS with Manning including 2 in the endzone after dominating all the way down the field with Jacobs and Burress. Warner threw for over 250 yards and Jacobs ran for 128.
If anything you can see each game with play differently from the last with plenty of excitement. Give them a try and let me know what you think and if I should continue posting updates weekly. Look at it this way, most people are about ready to or have already given up on this game, why not try a new concept.
