Madden 25 CFM Realistic Sliders
 

My Preferred Playing Style

Control only the players with the ball.
**For even more realism, don't control these players at all

• Quarterback
• Running Back
• Wide Receiver** (after catch)
• Fumble or Interception Player with Ball**
• Kicker
• Punter
• Returns**

House Rules

1. Gameflow playcalling - Do not call your own plays!
2. If you control a defender, use the "No Switch" method. Once ball is snapped, you can't change players.
3. No Hot Route, Line Movement, or Individual Assignments. CPU AI plays better when you don't manipulate the play selected.
4. Fair Play Rules in effect - Punt on 4th down (use your judgement on when to go for it), QB Kneel if necessary (even if gameflow doesn't call it), Audible out of continuous stretch and option plays the CPU may call in gameflow

Hey how are they playing

Re: Madden 25 CFM Realistic Sliders
 

I've only played 8 games with them, so I'm still tweaking them a point or two. Trying to get a little more offense from the CPU, maybe a couple first downs and an extra score.

The CPU pass coverage isn't tight enough but I can clearly see differences from Brady to Mallett (Brady knocked out for 5 weeks). Try them out...

Re: Madden 25 CFM Realistic Sliders
 

Barely won against the Panthers 23-18.

With Mallett in only 206 yards passing for me and my running backs only got me 89 yards on the ground.

Cam Newton passed for 203 and ran for 88 yards himself. Stewart added another 66 yards on the ground.

I need some testers to help me find a player INT slider because I feel I get too many INTs. Maybe I should bump the CPU QB Accuracy and they'll stop throwing directly to my defenders?

Re: Madden 25 CFM Realistic Sliders
 

I am going to give these a shot after the Broncos game tonight. I like some of your game settings quite a bit.

Re: Madden 25 CFM Realistic Sliders
 

Im going to have to try these out.

Not to sound stupid but what is wrong with slow i have been playing on normal in play now but i was going to play on slow in my CFM.

Many have said that on slow your running back will seem like he's stuck in mud on toss plays. Haven't tried myself yet though.

Re: Madden 25 CFM Realistic Sliders
 

Is the CPU able to stop your running game? I can get the CPU to even remotely stop the option play...
