xElway7x's All-Madden custom sliders v1.0

[xElway7x]

After not really getting a good challenge with any All Pro sets, I decided to make a custom set for All Madden. I'm getting some tough, realistic games with these, and some pretty realistic stats to go along with them. I'm still tweaking these, but I wanted to let some of you try them and get some feedback. Keep in mind that I use the Broncos and Tebow, and Tim's accuracy isn't good at all. Depending on your QB, your accuracy slider may need to be tweaked, but to keep these at all madden you MUST keep each category at 75 or below.

This set is for those like myself are too good for All pro, but struggle with All Madden. Here we go:

QTRs-8 minutes<---with mandatory run off in franchise, probably will have to go to 10 minute qtrs.
Game speed-fast/very fast
Auto strafe-off
Auto sprint-off
Injuries-50
Fatigue-50<--cpu sustains long drives sometimes, any lower and too many subs would occur. Your preference here.
Speed Threshold-35

Special Teams for both HUMAN and CPU
FG power-55
Punt power-55
Punt accuracy-60<--only way to get cpu to pin you deep
FG accuracy-50

Human
Passing
Passing accuracy-30
Pass Blocking-0
Catching-45<---perfect amount of drops with this.

Rushing
Broken Tackles-25
Run blocking-24
Fumbles-25

Pass Defense
ALL 25s
Rush defense
Reaction time-24*
rest-25

CPU
QB accuracy-55*<--
Pass blocking-3
WR catching-45*<--

Rushing
Broken tackles-20*
Run blocking-26*<--
Fumbles-20

Pass defense
Reaction time-20
Interceptions-12
Pass rushing-5

Rush defense
Reaction time-20
Block shedding-15
Tackling-14<--allows for broken tackles, but not too many. Power backs still play like power backs, elusive backs still are able to wiggle out.

Here are my stats vs Patriots. Got the W 33-28

Passing
Tebow-17-25-200yds 1td 1-INT
Brady-29-46-407yds 3tds-1-INT

Rushing
Mcgahee-29-163-0-TDs
Moreno-11-26-0-TDs
Tebow-5-47-1-TDS
B.Green-Ellis-14-56-0-TDs
Woodhead-2-10-1-TDs

Receiving
Welker-8-94yds
D.Branch-7-144yds
Gronkowski-7-85yds
J Edelman-3-33yds
Slater-1-18yds
Woodhead-1-26yds-1TD
Ochocinco-1-5yds<--out for game early
Green-Ellis-1-2yds

Moreno-1-20yds
Decker-2-26yds
Willis-2-18yds
Thomas-2-33yds
Royal-2-20yds
Larsen-1-11yds
Rosario-1-6yds
Fells-6-66yds-1TD

I know Tebow's completion percentage was high, but that's because I pretty much dinked and dunked all game because of his accuracy. I ended up lowering my run blocking mid game, so my ypc would've been a little lower had it been at this setting all game.

EDIT: Please see tweaks that have been made today. Changes are marked with arrows.

These look incredibly realistic from that result! Can't wait to test these out for you man!!

Re: xElway7x's All-Madden custom sliders v1.0

There's a typo in your USER Passing sliders. You have QB Accuracy at 35 and WR Catching at 45, but I'm guessing you meant for QB Accuracy to be at 30. At 35 this exceeds the 75 point (ridiculous) limit.

Re: xElway7x's All-Madden custom sliders v1.0

Yeah my bad it is supposed to be 30. Thanks for catching that. Tried a few tweaks against the Chargers and had an amazing game where some Tebow magic got me in position to kick a FG for a 25-22 win. Some more tweaks are in order to kick start the CPU run game though. Gonna try boosting their run block a few more points and see if they can commit to running the ball a little more.

When testing these, I'm only playing the Elite teams in their respective strengths. To tune the passing sliders for CPU, I tried them against the Pats, Chargers, and Packers to ensure the elite QBs put up good numbers with realistic completion percentages. For the rushing CPU sliders, I tested these against the Raiders and Texans to ensure they put up good numbers along with an adequate amount of rushing attempts. I did see that against the Chargers, their ground game was horrendous with the same sliders so I have no clue what do about that.

This may be a tuner error on the part of the game (not a slider) but it seems like the CPU abandons the run altogether once they get down by more than 1 score regardless of quarter. Only time I've seen them keep running is in rain games. Just letting you know this may not be a fixable issue right now.

Re: xElway7x's All-Madden custom sliders v1.0

Yeah it's weird. I just played against the Bucs, and Blount only ran 15 times the whole game for 60 yards then poof...they stopped running altogether. If I play the Raiders though, they pound the ball continuously for big yardage. Freeman had over 300 yards passing against me, so maybe since they were having such good success through the air they chose to only run sporadically since it wasn't too successful?

I feel that these are close to being perfect for those that are too good for All Pro, but have trouble with default all madden. All the stats are good except for the damn rushing totals. I'm gonna do some more testing as I've changed a few sliders, but I won't post them until I get decent results. Hopefully others are trying these and will lend their input.

I'd raise the CPU Run Blocking up to about 35-40 and see how that works.

Re: xElway7x's All-Madden custom sliders v1.0

My thought is to put the CPU as the same settings as the human's are. Like Eccentric said up the run blocking but maybe upping the break tackle would help the bruising backs a bit more as well.

Re: xElway7x's All-Madden custom sliders v1.0

Yeah I've tweaked both their run blocking and their break tackle, but I'm still looking for that happy medium. The problem is, elite RBs are tough to stop, while decent running backs don't ever seem to get it going. The Bucs were having success on the ground, but they just stopped running.

Re: xElway7x's All-Madden custom sliders v1.0

Been using these for my past few games in my Bills Franchise. Fitz is just missing TOO many passes. Could be me, I'm not great, and this is my 1st real dive into A.M. settings. I'm loving the gamplay for the most part though, so maybe I'll just bump up my QB acc, and lower blocking or catch. Only other thing I'm struggling with is stopping the cpu's passing. Grossman just lit me up for 4 TD's, and every time I'd sell out to stop him, they'd run Hightower for an easy 1st down. RRRR... LOL

With Pass Accuracy at 30 you should be having no trouble getting accurate passes. Ease off the directional passing a little bit, that's probably 90% of your problem.

Re: xElway7x's All-Madden custom sliders v1.0

I don't understand the sliders at all this year. For example

Say I have pass blocking at 80 for the user with pass rush 100 for the CPU... I would be on rookie?

But if I have pass blocking at 5 for the user with pass rush 25 for the CPU... I'm on all madden?

Notice they are a difference of 20 points. I just can't wrap my head around it. Do you understand what i mean?

Re: xElway7x's All-Madden custom sliders v1.0

For each category you have to stay at or under 75 total to keep an all madden difficulty.

I get some wild throws too, but usually because I'm moving the left stick when I shouldn't be leading a receiver. How do you like the run game? And you can always drop cpu accuracy down if you are having trouble, or raise your pass reaction. Tweak as you see fit, your feedback is appreciated.

Re: xElway7x's All-Madden custom sliders v1.0

I get that but shouldn't it make it difficult still for the user both ways?
