DB'S Stat Accurate Sliders (Slow game Speed)

[tcrews]

Re: DB'S Stat Accurate Sliders (Slow game Speed)

Well I'm very, very happy to report I just lost a game Even happier to report it was 14-13 and not a shootout.

I used the Titans, and after Chris Johnson, there's literally no reason to ever pick that team. But as I'm messing around with sliders I'm trying to use all the teams. Anyway Vince Young was Vince Young, at first I thought about upping the QB sliders but then I realized he often has games in real life where he does go 10/32 or whatever, so i left them. Here are the stats

C. Palmer 14/24 216 1td 2 picks
V. Young 14/29 109 1td 2 picks

C. Benson 21att 95yds
C. Johnson 20 att 77 yds

B. Scaife 4rec 32 yds
K. Britt 3rec 32 yds

A. Caldwell 6 rec 137yds
C. OchoCinco 4rec 41yds 1Td

It was 13-7 at the half. I got a touchdown on a screen pass to L. White in the 1st quarter and 2 field goals on successive turnovers from the Bengals. After halftime they scored on their opening drive in the 3rd. I had an opportunity to go up 16-14 with a field goal from the 11. But I missed (I have FG acc on 18 so all of them are hard and there's no "gimme" attempts, every kicker is capable of missing from any distance.

All in all it was a good game, cedric benson most have broken ten tackles or so, C. Johnson had a run of 51 yards in the 1st quarter that set up my first and only touchdown, after that he was shut down as the bengals went into run blitz mode the rest of the game and forced vince to beat them, which he couldn't do.

Great game, it was a battle. And I'm very happy to report my first loss in Madden 10

Re: DB'S Stat Accurate Sliders (Slow game Speed)

Just had another really good game. I was down 24-10 at the beginning of the 4th to the Eagles. I had to punt from the Philly 38, had a great punt that was downed at their own 2. All they had to do was run out the clock but McNabb threw a pick on the first play and that breathed new life into me. Flacco had 3 INT's in the first half, 1 returned for a TD.

I scored pretty quickly after McNabbs INT. After the Eagles had a 3 and out, I scored again with 3 minutes left to tie it at 24. Then the unthinkable happens as McNabb throws into double coverage and is pick sixed. Final Score, Ravens 31 - Eagles 24

Going into the 4th quarter down by two TD's was awesome, and a first for me.

My only gripe with this game was the overall lack of offense from the Eagles. They were only able to amass 200 yards of offense. The way I see it I scored for my team and theirs. Pretty much all of their points came off my turnovers. So far I've yet to encounter this in any other game I've played. So hopefully this isn't a new issue that's going to stick around.

The game felt great. Turnovers were good, I recorded a 'career high' for Madden 10 with 6 sacks. Which is nice because a. that's a realistic number and b. i barely have any games where I get more than 1.

Re: DB'S Stat Accurate Sliders (Slow game Speed)

Just had the best game of Madden I've ever played. These sliders are almost done and post-able.


(I'll save the score for last)

S. Smith - 5 Rec - 70 yds
K. Boss - 6 Rec - 62 yds

M. Jones Drew - 6 rec, 82 yds, 1 TD
G. Jones - 3 Rec 35 yds, 1 TD

What a game. I trailed 13-0 after the first quarter. On the Jags first touchdown they missed the extra point which proved to be a huge factor later on. Their second touchdown was a 49 yard screen pass to MJD that I didn't see coming and they executed perfectly.

I scored my first TD with 6 minutes to go in the first half. JaX kicked a field goal with a 1:33 left giving me time to hit one of my own with 10 seconds left. A 49 yard prayer (tynes is awful) that somehow found it's way in. 16-10. On the ensuing kickoff I forced a fumble deep in Jax territory and kicked another field goal as the time expired in the first half, 16-13.

With nobody scoring in the 3rd and just 8 minutes to go in the 4th, Brandon Jacobs, who had been stuffed all day long, broke off an incredible, game changing 44 yard touchdown run that I immediately saved and will enjoy for a long time to come. Giving the Giants their first lead of the game, 20-16. After exchanging punts the Jags had the ball with 3 minutes to go. They drove down the field and thanks to a pass interference call on a 4th and 6 that would have ended the game, were able to turn that into momentum and score with 1:41 left to go. 23-16.

Had they not missed the extra point earlier in the game it would have been 24-20 and i would have had to go for the TD. Enabling them to play mid-deep pass defense to prevent any big gains. However, they did miss. so they had to play to stop both the FG and the TD.

3 straight first downs to S. Smith had me around the 50 after a horrible return by Bradshaw. I had a 3rd and 8 from the Jax 41 to deal with. The chain gang came out after a pass to Kevin Boss and gave me the first down, thankfully. A few plays later and it was first and goal. On my first play from the new set of downs, I decided to go for the win right there and hopped into the shotgun. I recognized the blitz coming from the corner. Fired it to Brandon Jacobs who steamrolled over the last defender with a prayer of tackling him and dragged him into the end zone with 9 seconds remaining. Giving me a 27-23 win.

Absolutely brilliant game. What amazes me is when you have the right sliders how great this game can play and how toned down it's flaws become.

I'll try one or two more games and see how they go. If things stay consistent, which is important to me. I'll post these difficult sliders tonight or tomorrow. I know this was a long post, sorry. It happens.

WOW you are getting some great games. If you can post the sliders tonight with any house rules you have I'm going to certainly try them. I haven't really gotten any video game time in the last few days so tonight I'm looking forward to seeing how these things work in my Packers franchise.

Re: DB'S Stat Accurate Sliders (Slow game Speed)

Just had another close game, I won (Texans) 31 @ (Titans) 24. Tied at 24 I drove down the field consuming as much clock as I could. I used 9 minutes but it still left 3. They drove down the field but on 4th and inches Vince Young on my 23 took a sack and that was it. Nail Biter.

Here are the sliders. I don't think they're finished yet. But I really hope you at least have the same competitive games that I am. The only "irregularity" is that in some games I'll get sacked 2,3,4 or 5 times. Other games 0. Without moving the sliders. Also, I have human pass rush at 99 and CPU pass block at 0. Even with that, I fail to generate pressure a lot of the time and the CPU has all day to throw. If you control the D-line and are able to get a ton of pressure, lower this to whatever yours are already at. That's the one slider that's more for my own ineptitude than anyone else's use. Here ya go Muk.

Human is first, CPU is second.

Passing - 15

QB Acc - 16 (bump up one more for more control, one less for more of a challenge, wouldn't go below 15 though)
Pass Blocking - 22
WR Catching - 36 (I see about 5 dropped passes combined in each game, fairly realistic)

Rushing - 14

Broken Tackles - 25
Run Block - 35 (put it down to 30 if it's too easy)
Fumbles - 20 (cover up the ball, only try for the big play when it's necessary or you have a safe ball carrier, if you're spamming juke with Percy Harvin, say goodbye to the pigskin)

Pass Defense - 13

Reaction time - 5
Interceptions - 5 (if you're getting too many per game, drop it to 2)
Pass Rushing - 90-100 (I have it on 97. pass rush is the biggest issue for me personally and even with it at 100 pressure means nothing to the QB and they'll complete a pass while falling down just as likely as if you're not there at all. This just leads to an extra sack or two which can be crucial)

Rush Defense - 17

Reaction time - 0
Block Shed - 0 (if you're getting gashed, move it up, but no higher than 10, you SHOULD be getting killed by AP, CJ, etc, if Julius Jones is ripping you for 150+, put it on 10)
Tackling - 40

CPU SLIDERS

QB Acc - 42 (seeing around 55-70% completion)
Pass Blk - 0
WR Catch - 42 (receivers still drop passes, but the good ones become factors consistently).

Broken Tackles - 50 (they'll shed between 5-10 per game)
Run Blocking - 100
Fumbles - 15 (means they have to protect the ball too, I've hit guys that are trying to do too much, they fumble just as often as we do when we're not protecting the ball)

Pass-D

Reaction time - 85
Interceptions - 5 (I've thrown 3 picks on 3 bad passes, other times they bounce off. Depends on the corner)
Pass Rushing - 80 (possibly up to 85 or 90 if you're seeing no sacks)

Rush-D

Reaction time - 65
Block Shedding - 45
Tackling - 50

13 minutes - 25 second runoff.
Speed threshold - 30
Gamespeed - slow

Special teams

FG power - 50
FG ACC - 15 to 18 ( i have it on 15 for the challenge, no freebies)
Punt power - 55
Punt Accuracy - 70
Kickoff Power - 50

There you go, if enough people like them I'll start a new thread. shoot me a message muktown and let me know how they played for you.

There you go, if enough people like them I'll start a new thread. shoot me a message muktown and let me know how they played for you.

Just tried these with my fantasy draft team. Great D players, decent O players with my OLine being the best of them.

Won the first game 20 to 13. Felt good, stats were on par with the nfl, Patrick Willis had 12 tackles, alot with me in control of him.

Just seemed everytime I drove there was some defining play, you just knew you were going to get a good drive or not.

The CPU you just never knew, one play they did well the next, not so much.

Playing a game now that is 10 to 10 at half. Have thrown a pick, lost a fumble and pretty much given the game to them, other then a nice drive down the field and a recovered fumble on my D that gave me back the ball at there 4 yard line which was nice.

Hoping the game turns out like the first one, somewhat low scoring and close.

I know there are going to be blowouts but I hope that I get blown out at some point to. Or at least beat.

My defense is pretty stellar so maybe not blown out but just beaten! hehe

Re: DB'S Stat Accurate Sliders (Slow game Speed)

I'm glad you're at least having some success with them so far. I haven't played much madden (about to sit down and play a game as we speak) in a few days due to a death in the family. So I'm still unsure as to what tweaks to make. Also, muktown, where are you??? Haha.

The defining play is something I've noticed too. But for what it's worth at least it seems legitimate. Not some desperate CPU comeback forcing you to fumble. I've yet to have any games where I even felt close to 'screwed' over by the 'cheating' cpu. But sometimes you can tell it's either going to be a touchdown or you're going to Eff up. Ultimately. I don't think I can fix that. Haha.

Please continue posting your stats so I can see if I need to make adjustments. Keep in mind these are more for difficulty than realism. it's probably a 60/40 split.

Re: DB'S Stat Accurate Sliders (Slow game Speed)

Just had an absurdly close game. I won 28-27. I was down 17-0 with about 8 minutes to go in the half. Came back and scored my second touchdown with 2 seconds left on the clock before halftime to make it 17-14. I got my first lead of the game at 21-17 and 30 seconds later watched DeAngelo Williams erase it on an amazing 69 yard TD run. No sooner did that happen then I fumbled and they kicked a field goal. 21-27 Panthers. I drove down the field and with 3 minutes left, Steve Slaton (Texans) fumbles. I'm thinking the game is over. they had the ball with great field position (Texan 41) and less than 3 minutes to go.

I forced a 3rd and long and they easily converted it, a swing pass out of the back to the fullback who was completely uncovered. Bernard Pollard hits him and forces a fumble, gets up, and returns it to the 50. After that I drive down the field and score a touchdown making it 28-27 with 52 seconds left. They picked up 2 first downs but their desperation pass with 5 seconds left was picked off.

Unbelievable game. Here are the stats.

Stats are listed with Houston (hum) first and Carolina (cpu) second

total offense - 335 - 298
rushing - 92 - 164
passing - 243 - 134

Re: DB'S Stat Accurate Sliders (Slow game Speed)

My first few games of my franchise were somewhat close, but my last game against the Rams was embrassing. I play as the Saints and ended up winning 76-10. I had 44 at half and probably could have hit 100 if I really really wanted. I feel this is a problem that I've had with Madden 10 for a while.

I'll try some new sliders, get accustomed to them, and end up beating the CPU pretty easily. I would love to have a sub par season and take the draft seriously, but really don't make it pass the 2nd or 3rd year.

Sorry tcrews!! I picked up NHL 10 and The Show so Madden has been put on the shelf the last few weeks. I'm going to try a game out later with your slider set to see how they play. So far your results look promising!! I'll let you know how it goes.
