Jarodd21 Madden 11 Custom sliders.. Good competition from CPU..

Re: Jarodd21 Madden 11 Custom sliders.. Good competition from CPU..

Let me start out by saying i have tried at least a dozen or so slider settings from this forum. Some have been excellent for me, and some have been not so excellent. That being said, I have not totally enjoyed playing this game until I started using this set of sliders. At first I thought the Very Fast speed setting would turn me off, when in fact its made the game much better. I really have enjoyed the challenge on Offense. Your decision on what to do with your RB on a run play has to be quick. You either hit the right hole, follow a blocker, or you will pay. Passing is just as challenging, yet very realistic. Playing Defense has actually been quite a nice surprise in that I dont have to use the house rule of staying with the one defender that I started the play with. I like that, because I believe there are times when I take a better angle towards the ball carrier than the CPU would have done. The FG kicking is spot on for me as well as the CPU. I tried a 52 yard FG, and hit the distance just right, but missed a bit on the accuracy, and henceforth I missed it just slightly to the right. The next game I play, which should be after work today, I will post the stats, and let the gamers judge for themselves. But I will thank Jar0dd21 for these sliders which have enabled me to enjoy Madden 11 as best as possible. GREAT JOB!

Made defense a little easier. Overall GREAT sliders, but I also made offense harder so it evens out. Mainly changed it up because my defense (the Jets plus Nnamdi Asomougha, Earl Thomas, and Patrick Peterson) was playing too bad, and my offense was playing too good. I know these sliders are supposed to be challenging (and they are), but my defense is full of beasts, so my defense should be beast


Having lots of fun with these sliders!

Damn how did you get your defense loaded up like that? Haha! So it sounds like you been having alot of low scoring games. Thats good..

Give me a whole run down on where you have your sliders at so I can see what your working it when you get a chance.. Maybe some other guys might wanna go with the tweaks you made that are having trouble in certain areas..

Re: Jarodd21 Madden 11 Custom sliders.. Good competition from CPU..

Okay, I'll post them later. But all I did was I signed Aso in FA (not too unrealistic, since he said he wants to play for Ryan), and I traded my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd to draft Patrick Peterson #1 overall. I restructured a few players' contracts to make room for his max contract, and the after week 1 the next season, I traded a 1st for Earl Thomas. Got him kinda cheap, but I had done bad the previous season, so my 1st was worth a lot, plus the Seahawks suck, so it doesn't make a huge difference. I run 46 speed exclusively. Here's my starting lineup:

LE: Ellis
RE: Pace (since I run 46 speed, I don't use OLBs, so I switched him to DE, where he destroys)
DT: Jenkins, Pouha
LOLB: Wilson
ROLB: Cromartie
MLB: Harris
CB: Peterson, Aso, Revis

Nice... Yea post them later when you get a chance. I'm curious to see the sliders your working with..

Re: Jarodd21 Madden 11 Custom sliders.. Good competition from CPU..

Well, before I post them, I do have to note that I'm using Mark Sanchez, so I had to make passing a bit easier (INTs by a lot [CPU still gets them], and reaction by 5 (because at 100 EVERY curl route was a pick 6). Also lowered break tackle for user, since Shonn Greene is a beast, and I raised run blocking a bit, since even the Titans' DL was living in my backfield. Now have a solid 4.3 YPC with Greene, which is realistic. Have thrown 4 TDs and 5 INTs with Sanchez, with 350 yards, and 53% completion, which is also realistic. And like I said, I made run defense easier for me because even when sending the house every time, the HBs used to get like 200 yards rushing. Now, they get 100> per game, which I think is still a bit too high to compare to real life, but my pass D makes up for it. I gotta eat dinner now, then go to my surgeon's office and physical therapy for my knee, but I'll post my tweaks.

Oh, and the biggest change I made was I put threshold at 0. I have a fast defense (Patrick Peterson 99 speed), so it cuts down on the big plays.

And for Peterson's 99 speed, it's pretty awesome. I always press him (just like LSU did in real life), and he barely ever gets beat. If he does, he can catch up with his 99 speed. And he's the best tackling CB, with 93 tackle, so he's very good. It's pretty bad when Revis is your 3rd best CB

Re: Jarodd21 Madden 11 Custom sliders.. Good competition from CPU..

Well I tried it a few games and it looks like they control the line better for both run and pass. Sometimes my G and T would double up on a DE and a LB would come up to the line for a blitz, but they just stick to the DE, with it set like this its like they pick stuff like that up and just block whoever is in front of them, and if theres no one they will go double team someone. just seem like they act better, dont see any of the spinning motions either. Its like theyre no trying to decide if they should run or pass block, they just block? Thats what it looks like, but I could be wrong too.

Ok I just tried it out.. You were right the were reacting to the run real good. Lead blocking getting up the field. But once I decided to pass it seems like the were just letting Dlineman run through untoched so I guess dropping the priority down some might help it out a little if your more of a smash mouth runner. But you were right.. I'm going to leave it like it is though..

Oh ok.. Yea I have the threshold at 0 too. I love it like that with Very fast game play..

Damn Petersons speed is 99? Thats cool.. I'm going to start my franchise over and go get NCAA so I can download the rosters.. I know my friend is going to want to get Peterson.. He always gets a corner with his 1st pick. What is the skill level of the Corner coming out of Nebraska?

Yeah, I'm using swile's draft classes. Really accurate, except Marcell Dareus is always ridiculously high-rated...like 99 every time. I just re-uploaded the classes until Dareus was 25 (so he wouldn't be dominating the NFl for like 15 years), and I noticed Peterson's 40 time was 4.23, which is always 99 speed. Kinda realistic, as Peterson said he was going to run 4.2> at the combine.

As for Prince Amukamara, I forgot. It changes every time, but in mine I think he's in the mid 80's.

Kinda unrealistic to have so many high-rated rookies, but in 10 years, for example, there will be just as many 90-99 rated players as there are now. with retirings and everything.

But yeah, he's just a beast. He also has 99 jumping, and 68 catching. Trying to get the catching up 80 (once his man coverage is 99 and press is mid-90's in a few seasons, I'll switch him to WR after the season so he can progress in catching). He's only 22, so by the time he's like 27 he'll be like a Deion Sanders.

You should have let Dareus stay like that.. He suppose to be the top pick. Wait is he coming out already close to a 99 without having to progress to that? What does Cam Newton come out as? I should have did this a long time ago. I can't wait to see all the players..

Re: Jarodd21 Madden 11 Custom sliders.. Good competition from CPU..

He's coming out as the best DT in the NFl as a rookie. As for Cam Newton, he's only a 71 in mine, but it always changes every time your re-upload it. But Jake Locker is a 79 in mine.

Thats all Cam Newton came out to? Wow.. Look like I'm gonna have to be doing some editing on mine when I get the game.. It should be the other way around between him and Locker. What about Blaine Gibbert?

Re: Jarodd21 Madden 11 Custom sliders.. Good competition from CPU..

It comes out different every time you upload the draft class. Another time I uploaded the draft class Cam Newton was an 82 with 93 speed and A potential. You just have to upload it until you get what you like. As for the 2012 class, Terrelle Pryor comes out quite nicely most of the time.

Oh ok.. Does he always have 93 speed?
