Is anyone else a fan of the "Pro Setting - CPU Skills 100"?

[Wavebird99]

I saw this being suggested alot both on the general board here and on GameFAQs. It seems that if you put the setting as "pro" for the user, and then move the CPU Skills all up to 100, you get excellent games.

I just tried this out with 12 min quarters 15 second run off in my Giants chise, and lost 37-34 to Tampa Bay on the final play. It was probably one of the best games Ive ever played on Madden. If these types of games continue, I gotta say that these sliders may actually be the best ones Ive used.

Anyone else try this?

No. The theory is good, but that's not the way the sliders work.

As for playing the best game you had, a lot of people claim that with various slider sets. I think the game (statistically at least) has a lot of variance and gives an average of good results for the most part, regardless of what slider changes you make.

The game also plays great when you ZERO out the CPU/User sliders except for QB Accuracy and WR Catching

I saw a video on this after my brother recommended it and at first it seemed to be really true. Linemen were picking up blocks and players seemed to play smarter -- but my only problem was that I could consistently throw to Randy Moss on a deep route and he would catch it against the Giants secondary almost every time.

I also like to play on 15 min 25 sec run off and the scores are too high with those settings.

It's definitely got some promise but I don't think it's that easy to make the game "perfect."

It doesn't work. You'll eventually adjust your play calling and start destroying the CPU.

This worked for me for one game, then I started to annihilate the CPU. So now I've got it set to All-Pro with the CPU set to 100. I've lost a game in OT, and won a game on a last-second FG with these sliders

The best games I've played have been with these sliders...but I've only played 2 games with them. The biggest problem I see up to this point is the passing game being too easy and the running game being too hard. Overall pretty good though. Extended play time it sounds like they break down which is unfortunate.

I did this but with All-Pro instead of Pro and had the best Madden 10 game yet, with realistic stats and all. I had big troubles getting my running game going, but a single turnover changed the game in my favor by 6 points. Also no HUGE ridiculous plays, had 3-4 20+ plays but none went to the house.

Final score Cowboys(Me) 28 - Colts(CPU) 22.

I think I'm going to roll with this and tweak it as I go along if there's a need.

On pro, the human and CPU running game doesn't hit real stat marks. It's too difficult. And the throwing game is just a little too good-- very close though.

At all pro, you can't run at all, but the CPU running game is better. But you start getting towards robo QB with the CPU. I think there is probably a way to adjust the all-pro CPU sliders to making user running better and scale back the CPU QB success-- haven't found that happy medium yet though.

with cpu catching at 100 and cpu qb accuracy at 100 does the cpu's pass offense complete about every pass?

On pro-- no. It's generally between 55 and 70 % for me. But a big factor is the QB getting hits and resulting wounded ducks. If the QB gets it off, it's probably between 60 and 80% completion. I've had a couple games where the QB is under 50%-- mostly Jets v Pats.

On all pro at 100, it's 65 to 85 % completion rate.

I like um after 1 game with speed on very slow and 50 threshold and I may tweak some sliders off these by lowering cpu catch a bit to start but I get good pressure and tips so Ill see everything else plays good for now

PRO 100 is too easy.

ALL-PRO 100 is too hard to run.

ALL-PRO 100 with CPU block shed 50 is about perfect imo.

Ill see maybe down the road Ill do all pro with cpu at 50 ?
anyone on pro having alot your Qb passes picked ?

Tried this last night, adjusting as I went from pro to all-pro. Pro is far too easy. All-pro is still a bit easy to pass and running is indeed a bit too hard. I've lowered blk shed and tkl to 80 for the CPU and also reduced INTs to about 80 I think. I'd like to lower my INT too but I'm keen to keep it at all-pro so it's the same for 2 player etc.
