***JDs Franchise Custom All-Madden Slider Set***

[Jd_Seven]

Madden 12 offers by far the most realistic NFL experience to date. With slider sets popping up from everywhere, everyone should have a chance to enjoy the game with their particular style of play. Now I have done a previous set for Madden 12 Franchise but I kicked up a new one for the users who enjoy and insist on the custom all-madden level of gameplay. I kept with the 75 number theory for the HUM while still letting the CPU maintain a realistic and competitive game without lowering their assistance to much. Now I don't fully agree with the theory because in my opionon once you edit any slider wether it be HUM or CPU it becomes custom. You have to understand that each slider set applys assistance to that perticular catagory. So if you have a high QBA the CPU will assistance you much. The whole thing with the kicking meter moving faster with the 75 theory is true. With countless testing I have come to the conclusion that it only adjusts the kicking meter to reflect that level of gameplay, nothing else to the naked eye. Going to 76 on only HUM Passing will not adjust any other slider.

Each slider is individual but still works in conjunction with its opposite. While the +75/300 theory adjusts the speed of the kicking meter. I just understand this is how the program for coding would be laid out to differentiate the speed meter for each particular category like All-Madden as opposed to a slower meter with All-Pro. Just a way to know what bracket you fall under. I could be wrong, in testing this seems logical in my opinion. Either way they stick with the 75, so be prepared for some difficult matches either way with this set.

This is the type of sliders where good teams play good, and bad teams play bad. It's like Night & Day when running the Packers offense over the Browns offense. Stud players stand out like men from boys.

With this slider set you will need to use all plays at your disposal including being able to hot route as well as use motion.

---------------
---------------
Passing
---------------
QBA: 17/30
Pass Block: 0/0
WR Catch: 40/40

The Elite QB's will stand out as they should. Pocket passing can be amazing and if you are solid as a passer, your going to have fun with these set. Especially if your using a elite QB. It can be difficult if your new to this, but once you get the hang of it you wont go back. You will get all the catch animations, over the shoulder, back shoulder, great jump balls throws, etc.

---------------
Rushing
---------------
Broken Tackles: 0/0
Run Block: 37/40
Fumbles: 30/50

Rushing can be up and down which is great IMO. I pride myself in a good running game if the team offers that. You really have to make the right line calls for blocking and shift any offensive players to better blocking positions if you have to. It requires you to outsmart the CPU with the right calls. Make sure you do the same on defense to stop the run, because if you don't then you are going to get harassed on the ground by stud RB's.

---------------
Pass Defense
---------------
Reaction Time: 5/5
Interceptions: 35/35
Pass Rush: 25/25

A good CPU QB will quickly shred you up if you don't make the right calls. You will see the right amount of sacks (3.0 - 4.0 avg depending on team, personale etc) and get a nice realistic amount of interceptions. You also wont be able to throw on top notch IDP CB/S unless you have some quality guys ready to catch the ball, so be wary. Turnovers are big game changers in this set.

---------------
Rush Defense
---------------
Reaction Time: 30/30
Block Shed: 5/5
Tackle: 40/40

As above in terms of running with the football. Play the run honestly. If you are up against a talented back, your going to have to make great calls to keep them under 100 yards. Most elite backs are going to get around 100 yards on you unless your good at defense and controlling a defense with stud defensive players.

I have gone over testing thoroughly, through practice and franchise games. I suggest playing at least 3 games to get the feel for this set. Feedback is always welcome as it only helps fine tune the set for the community.

I have recently adjusted coaching schemes and had some test runs, and this set works better overall with default. I do recommend adjusting RB carry splits though as this is great when you face a team with a RBBC. That is it for now.

Enjoy.

Sliders have been adjusted accordingly after the most recent patch. Any feedback would be most welcome. Thanks and enjoy.

Didn't even realise you had a set out this year, must of missed your first post. Your sliders made Madden 11 real fun, so I'll see how on I get on with these.

Giving this slider set a try first thing after class. JD really knows how to make the Madden experience as realistic as possible.

For sure, these all-madden sliders work well. Let me know what you think.

Good sir, I'm quite shocked this thread hasn't had more people singing your praises for these are the BEST ******* sliders I have ever used for ANY madden. EVER.

Had did you come to these numbers?

[Cre8]

Re: ***JDs Franchise Custom All-Madden Slider Set***

I will give these a shot. Quick question though...

As far as passing goes, should you avoid 'user' catching or is it ok/good practice to use it? Sometimes I feel like the WRs don't make an effort without using it.

Thanks a bunch bud, I'm with you. Plenty work went into these sliders so maybe down the stretch they get more props? I originally had a totally different set, but guys wanted a set of mine to fit into the all-madden bracket (75 user theory), so after much testing, practice and gameplay this is what I came up with that represented a tough enough and realistic challenge. I feel I get the best out of each area of the game. I have seen so many different variations from yards, blocking, carries, tackles, int etc. Everything seems to work nicely.

Glad you enjoying the games, I'm getting some really awesome close tough fought games as of late.

I guess its entirely up to you, I don't user catch. I just take control as soon as the catch is made.

If you are dropping balls then up user catch to 42. Even on 40 you will see WR fight for the ball and some animations look great. Even guys going up high for a jump ball over the middle on a post without user catch. Some great Endzone TD catches are some of the best to see.

Otherwise, let me know how it pans out when using user catch. I have never tried it personally.

Really good sliders, dude.

The only thing is that I feel the CPU can run the ball super effectively. I've played three games on an offline franchise I started with the Eagles, and I've been getting ripped apart on the ground.

Here are the RB's stats -

Steven Jackson - 19 attempts, 198 yards, 2 TD's
Michael Turner - 21 attempts, 211 yards, 0 touchdowns
Ahmad Bradshaw/Brandon Jacobs - 31 attempts, 297 yards, 2 TD's

I know the Eagles linebackers are trash, but even when I blitz everyone it seems like these guys can get 5-7 yards a carry. There are times where I stop them for less, but I don't think I have had one tackle for a loss yet.

Other than that, these sliders have been money. I'm (1-2) with two really close losses, and a blowout win over New York. Keep up the good work!

Ouch on the stats for the RB, least they are the stud guys. Yer, I think if you have a few more games you will find a key to stopping the run.

I recently played against the eagles using the seahawks in week 13 game. (I use accurate depth charts on the day of the game, so young QB etc).

Going up against McCoy wasn't such a tough task. I think he broke one 30+ yard scamper on a toss/sweep outside the hashmarks. I did manage to hold him to under 100 yards rushing for the game, although he had a few nice catch and runs. He is rated a 93 in my franchise + the Seahawks dont have great LB core either. Although I focused more so on stopping McCoy Than Young and I stacked the box majority of the game using only 1 S over the top of Jackson, with Maclin out it worked out nicely.

Quite curious, what set were you using before you tried these out? Just to get an idea of what you were used 2, game speed, threshold etc.

I suggest just a few more games, maybe even try out a team with a strong defense and see where you are at. Alternatively, you could bump down CPU run block to 37 and if/when it becomes to easy you can work your way back to 40 for the CPU.

Thanks for the props, Trust me, once you get this set down you are going to really enjoy those tough division match ups, etc.

Re: ***JDs Franchise Custom All-Madden Slider Set***

I was using Blue Ninja's.

Most of the sliders are within the same range of points as yours, but the defense on his sliders was insane. I would have games where my total offensive production was like 100 yards and three field goals.

I consider myself a good Madden player, especially offensively, and I couldn't do anything on his sliders. However, I was using the Bears, and aside from Matt Forte, they don't have much.

On defense, do you use d-line and linebacker adjustments pre-snap?

Majority of the time I will make adjustments, depending on the formation and the team im up against as well.

I had a look over Blue Ninja's and his seem legit. Although having pass rush at 35 and pass block at 0 probably made it difficult to go through all the reads, possibly the reason you struggled? I get rushed plenty with it on 25 so 35 must be harsh.

I also don't like anything other than 0 threshold, BN has his at default. I want my faster DB's to catch up to big bruising RB's etc, more athletic lineman to pull and so on. I like a realistic feel to the game and thus don't like speed guys getting caught from behind by slower line guys etc. This also helps with TE and WR mismatches etc.

[mrmurrmer]

Re: ***JDs Franchise Custom All-Madden Slider Set***

It's a posssibility. I think it was a combination of those specific sliders, and the Bears lack of offensive talent. Haha.

But these sliders that you posted are working well. I threw down some defensive adjustments and totally shut down Frank Gore. However, 'Get-Burned' Asante Samuel gave up an 75 yard touchdown with less than a minute remaining and the 49ers took the late lead.

Then I couldn't score another TD to match it.

Maybe a suggestion, lowering the fumble rating. DeSean Jackson fumbled three times and Mike Vick once in the pocket. I know D-Jaxx is a small dude, but 3 turnovers is kinda ridiculous.

Guess virtual Jackson doesn't like the virtual Eagles either haha. Wants to give the ball away. Did you check his DDP? I would have benched/replaced him after the 2nd since I can imagine it would have been way down.

Did you protect the ball on contact? (RB,xbox). I find that if I give up a fumble the first time, I make sure I protect the ball with the player every time I am going to take a hit, at least until the DDP goes back up for that specific player.

I have thought about make slight adjustments to fumble slider but i'll go for another game and then there will be 0 fumbles, the next 3. It does seem to even out.

If you feel you losing the ball to much still def adjust to your liking.
