The NFL Experience 2.1.02 - Thread for Post Patch Sliders

[pokerplaya]

I'm not giving up on The NFL Experience this year... rather, from my early work with Patch 1.02 for Madden 11, I think this will blow all of our expectations out of the water, and hopefully this slider set will continue to be relevant when 1.03 drops. I saw enough from using The NFL Experience 2.0 with the new patch that I think new work will need to be done.

Injuries: 40 Fatigue: 50 - I USE AUTO SPRINT: OFF - I use HB Auto Sub at 83/88, and I scheme my RB Carries under my coaching scheme in franchise for backup carries.

This post is strictly a placeholder at present, I will update the first post with my intial testable set when I am confident it can hold up for basic testing. If you are willing to help me test, please let me know. Thanks, and Happy Maddening.

Re: The NFL Experience 2.1.02 - Thread for Post Patch Sliders

The main reason why I have started anew for the patch is that I see huge strides made in lineplay and the CPU running game. I feel it is a part of the "gameplay balancing" that they spoke of in the blog released today. The lineplay was such a huge factor in the NFL Experience in allowing the CPU to have that solid running game against the Human.

Also, it seems in my early testing that the CPU QB is far more mobile in the pocket in order to avoid sacks, and more willing to take off to try to gain yardage. I need to look at reaction times and the like to see where we are heading, but I am LOVING what I see.

Here's hoping you will hop on the bandwagon for Post-Patch. Thanks.

Count me in for any sort of testing that will ultimately provide realistic, entertaining results!

A couple of minor questions...does the coaching scheme effect things in game? I thought it was for sim stats only. (you mentioned that you used the scheme to help with your RB carry distribution).

Also, does the injury slider effect in game injuries, or only when simming?

i have not downloaded the patch yet, but could you answer a few questions?

does the game feel/play better? if you pick slow speed, does it play slow or do you feel the gamespeed has increased.

does the game seem harder?

I don't ever play slow speed, so I have no idea. The game DOES play better it seems. I was playing on default all-pro last night trying to discover tweaks, and it ran really nice out of box.

I would think it seems harder, as it seems as if the CPU running game is better, and the QB is definitely more alert as far as getting away from the rush. The rest will take more time to decipher.

Well, I run my HB carries at 60 and get 5-8 carries out of my backup every game. I also run my HB sub in/out at 83/88 ... It could be either, but it definitely can't hurt to set your scheme, and this setup works for me. I see my backup frequently, and in what I feel are the right situations.

Running game for both human and CPU plays better, I think.

Biggest difference seems to be the gaps widening between good and bad teams. Pre-patch I lost by 10 points to San Fran and Denver, post-patch my visit to New Orleans resulted in a 59 - 17 can of whoop*** being opened on me. Then last night I easily defeated Kansas City.

QBs seem a lot more mobile, the game before NO I played the Cardinals. Leinart was dancing around in the pocket like Fred Astaire. Overall it seems just a little nicer....

The other thing is the coaching sliders. I may be seeing things but I really believe they affect ALL CPU controlled teams, including your players you're not directly controlling. Before KC I set up my team to stop the run (front 4 ONLY run stup, LB's mainly run stop) and I tackled Jamaal Charles out of the game. (He did manage one amazing run where he juked past about 4 players in 30 yards).

Makes it hard to work out where to go with the sliders. If Charles and Reggie Bush had both been unstoppable, then that's one thing, but one played great the other not so much.

I've noticed my 2nd running back is nowhere to be seen post-patch. I'm going to try Pokerplaya's sliders on that.

I played with pokerplayer's settings on hb sub (scheme and auto sub sliders) and Hightower had 5 or 6 carries while Wells had 13. So i think it works.

Quite excited to give these new ones a try, poker.

I've just been really sick, missing work and everything. And everytime I go to play, I wind up feeling horrible and passing out. I'll have something soon, though.

Re: The NFL Experience 2.1.02 - Thread for Post Patch Sliders

I stumbled on your previous set of sliders after some googling... I've been using them for a couple of games and they are better then anything I came up with during my fiddling. Obviously based on this thread, you are going to be doing more post-patch tweaking... I joined the forum just to tell you that I'll be onboard for testing when you are done. I've already decided that my current franchise will be the sandbox until I settle on final sliders and then I'll start fresh.

Thanks for all the effort, I appreciate it!

Does anyone feel like the CPU pass def is better after the update? I am having a hard time passing the ball ever since the update, I am using my sliders though but I was just wondering.

I didnt really notice things changed about deflections but INTS are up imo...
