FistofRage's All Madden Custom Sliders

Thanks to Jarrod21 for answering a few questions, I have made some All-Madden Custom Sliders that Keep all Human categories to a total of 75.

First of all, House Rules I play with.

1. Start every play on defense as DT, No user Int, only switch players once ball carrier is 5 yards past line of scrimmage or pass has been completed.
2. No 5 WR sets.
3. No throwing going routes to an interior WR on 4WR sets.
4. No audibling from a run to a pass play or vice versa.
5. No user catch.
6. No moving the kicking arrow on FG's. Have to slice it or hook it in if on the hash.

Looks good.. Raising the CPUs Rush Reaction time might cut down the consitent big plays your talking bout from fast elite backs.. Thats my main reason for having my reaction on 100.. Also dropping the USER runblocking down might help that too. Raise USER breaktackles up the same amount you drop your runblocking but you would have to definitely move the CPUs tackling up if you do that.. I have my USER runblocking at 0 and my CPU blockshedding at 0 and it works pretty good since there on an even ground..

But overall looks like a challenge.. You will eventually get them to where you want them.. Just keep testing them on a regular..

Re: FistofRage's All Madden Custom Sliders

I am going to try to run some more pounding backs tonight and see what results I get. Peterson and McFadden may be the exceptions to the rule.

Its definitely difficult to run inside. But I am trying to make this risk/reward to go outside the tackles, and it is for the most part, problem is, there may be too much reward. Lat night, I was playing a game against the seahawks with the Vikings. Game was tied at 21 in the 4th quarter, Peterson had 19 carries for 68 yards until boom, 76 yard TD run and then he iced the game with a 43 yard TD run. Not unrealistic, but I don't want this happening all the time. He gets the edge though and it could be lights out on any play. I need to make it just a little harder to get the edge without killing the inside game.

I also played a half with Forte and he couldn't get anything going, so it may be hard to balance the game completely.

Yea thats true.. Those are homerun backs..

Re: FistofRage's All Madden Custom Sliders

I have found that with User run block and pass block at 0 it makes the player ratings matter a heck of lot more. It it tough to balance though. Good luck.

Re: FistofRage's All Madden Custom Sliders

Alright, I am man enough to admit it, my original sliders favored the AI a little too much and their stats were getting a bit out of hand.

The Human sliders are pretty close. I have cut down the long human runs. Although some RB's will sometimes go a bit crazy, but its a game. Pittsburgh held AP to 47 yards last night in a game on 18 carries. Some games will be a chore to get 100 yards, other games, you'll get near 200.

Well that sounds better.. What tweaks did you make?

I updated them on the first post.

I am having a brutal time getting any pressure or defending the pass. Any suggestions?

You definitely might wanna bump the pass rush back up and drop the INTs down.. Drop the INTs to 25 and the pass rush up to 10.. See how that works for you.. You already got your reaction up pretty high so they should be defending real good.. I have my reaction on 26 and I play pretty good against the pass unless I'm playing and elite QB.. The pass rush on this game is always gonna be hard but you should still get your sacks when its all said an done.. I still get like 2 or 3 a game.. Just start mixing up your defensive play calling a little bit with some man blitzing..

I was playing some games last night and I think I might play on All-Madden level with the AI pass all at 25, and then make a couple tweaks to the AI run block and up their defensive awareness and call it good. I was getting pretty good numbers with that.

Yea that might work too.. You'll have USER 25 pass rush against 0 CPU passblock.. You should start getting the type of pressure you want with it like that.. You just might take a hit with the reaction and Ints but you do have the CPU passing accuracy and catching low so yea it should balance out at that.. Tell me how they go..

They were playing pretty well last night. I am suprised that AI passing at 100 isn't killing you. I have it at 25 and they still find the open man.

Any, yeah, I'll let you know. I have the run game down, and I will soon get the passing game where it needs to be.

I can't lie post patch it was rough trying to get my passing D category togther.. I had finally found a good one with the Pass reaction on 45 but since the new patch the defense has definitely picked up and 26 works just fine.. I've had some games where a QBs passed for less then 120 yards.. My defensive playcalling works pretty gud.. Dollar cover 3 works pretty good against CPU when they come out in 3, 4, or 5 wide sometimes.. Try that and I mix in some man blitzes where I'm sending 6 out of nickel or 4-3 when there in 2 or 3 wide but everyones covered or I'll hit them with man coverage.. It works pretty good for me.. Drew Brees and Peyton Manning did light me up for 300 plus recently but I held Matt Ryan down to under 200 with 50 something compeletion percentage..

We bought to start year 3 of our offline franchise so my friends should all get there games in by this weekend and I'll post stats and see how it goes for them..

Re: FistofRage's All Madden Custom Sliders

By the way how is that CPU pass rush at 60 working for you? I was thinking bout bumping it up to that myself.. Still feel like I'm getting alot of time to just sling it around the place with it at 50.. I saw you had it at 70 at first was it too much at that? I can still throw it for 300 with ease if I want to but I like pounding the ball with Jacobs and Bradshaw most of the time so that cuts into that..

Its a tough balance. It works out pretty good. You still have time to go through the progressions most of the time. I don't get sacked very often, but I do make some poor choices where I should just take the sack instead. You saw my houserule about not audibling so I may have a tougher time passing. I think 60, 55, 60 for the AI pass coverage will work for me. I also think 60, 50, 45 will be good run D sliders.

I am going to do straight All-Madden sliders though so you have to remember, my pass block will be at 25 I presume as I am using the All-Madden in game setup as opposed to custom.

I played 2 games as the Steelers against the Browns last night and had 2 really good games, they were just a little too hard for the Human Offense. But the D played great. I held McCoy to 58% passing and 220 yards, Hillis had 84 hard earned yards, the game felt great, I just had the AI D sliders cranked up too high so I have to ratchet them down.
