PM

OK so I understand pass rush+block shed+tackle combined effect the pass rush
You want those three sliders to equal CPU pass block 76.

Comparing your latest set with Mondays set pass rush is down 3 clicks 59 to 56
Block shed is up 20 & tackle down 16 now looking at the combined total Mon was
75 current set 76 so is the 1 point up making it that much more difficult or the 3 less from
Pass rush effecting it that much?

I'm do user control both DL & OLB don't know if you do while testing or playing
But the feeling is that something has slowed down my rusher isn't getting off blocks as fastalso I'm noticing RB & OG are much quicker in helping out a T that has been beat.

I can't understand what adjustment you made that has had this to me some what negative erect, the shame for me is all other aspects are awesome I just get to much pleasure in user pass rushing so I want to feel like I can get a sack now and then with an elite rusher.

well that's just it....you said it best yourself 1-2 points make that much of difference now..

We are at the point now where a simple tweak with this set can produce fantastic results on USER by USER basis

My goal was to provide a friendly easy to tweak base set that plays terrific football...I think i've accomplished that goal.

Now on a USER to USER basis a slight modifications may need made

For example simply by applying those 4 Run Reaction points to your Tackle slider might get the sacks you desire

Or swapping out the Block Shed slider setting of 20 and move it over to the tackle slider instead and that could result in you getting more sacks

Another example of this is by simply reducing the CPU fumble slider down to 56 or 58 it produced results right away....it also seemed to effect the CPU's WR's being able to hold on to the ball in traffic

So i think the Fumble slider effects CIT ratings aswell which is why i had it at 60 so the CPU wouldn't start dropping too many passes and hurting their Comp %

I will make one last adjustment and see if that renders just a tad more balance on both sides....

If it fails then the settings on the front page right now will be the Final base settings no more changes unless the USER touches up on things himself....

Plus i can always answer questions without actually changing the Front Page...

So the last update will come today to see if i can produce CPU fumbles and help present a little better pass rush....lower CPU tackle slider without actually hurting their run D

If it goes south then I'll insert the settings back to the way they are now and be done with it....(I have to get myself started on NBA 2K12 sliders next week)

PM

thanks for your feed back I will try both adjustments:
Adding the 4 reaction points towards tackle so the run d would then be
0
20
4
And the other possible adjustment
4
0
20

Odd that the run defense effects pass rush

BTW read the link regarding your interview I'm curious on playing with adjusted ratings know where I can find a re-rated roster

PM i have a idea i am going to play a game with your setup, and what i am going for is stats, that best reflect the Cowboys season, and adjust from there, for example, Tony Romo completes 65%, Felix Jones only runs for 60 yards a game, 4.3 avg, sacks should be around 2-3 a game on both sides, so does this sound like a good idea, for instance if my running or thu cpu running game does not reflect the same results i will adjust from there, my only confusion will be what to adjust, i know in previous posts, you would offer help, i wish you could do a chart that shows in areas that would best fix the issues, any help would be great, have a safe trip.

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

Ok i need a little help. Im using the sliders on the first page exactly how it is. i have the reaction time at 0 and INT 32. The computer seems to not be able to score. I have played 3 games and i scored in the 60's and the computer had about 1 touchdown and maybe a few field goals. Is there any way to tweak the sliders to make the computer better. im losing interest in the game. I want to be able to play good and close games.

Great job, PM. My only request is that if any of your recent revelations mean that you may want to tweak the Page Two sliders, just let us know. Even if you give us hints (e.g., "...perhaps run block shed should be a little higher based on what I learned.") that'd be great.

use the Reaction TIme 10 and INT 22 that should be your 1st starting point.

if your really looking for a challenge then obviously you haven't paid attention.....Put the Reaction Time at 0 and INT at 0 you'll get your challenge along with some explosive passing by the CPU.....LOL!

Ok thanks a lot. Yea! I apologize i havent been able to keep up with everyone posts.

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

Ok the CPU Run Defense is going to be flipped around

It'll be the following settings now

Run Reaction-24
Block Shed-20
Tackle-6 or 10......either one of these settings will work but 10 is going to keep you under 4.0 YPC most games unless you break off a big run

6 is going to make it an even 50 points total to their run defense and you'll see why it's not a bad thing to go with 6 tackling after i show the new Fumble slider for the Human player

That 20 Block Shed is basically going to represent both the Human and CPU's pursuit ability which you've already seen for the Human player even with the Tackle slider at 0 the CPU doesn't run wild because of that 20 Block Shed slider.

I know it looks weird and probably way different from any other settings around but I think if you can take away most of the the added boost provided by certain sliders especially for the Human player it'll stabalize the set long term with only minor tweaks being required.

awesome. can you update the 1st page with the latest set??

[Playmakers]

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

awesome. can you update the 1st page with the latest set??

yeah i will have it updated tonight before i head out of town Friday

One thing some people aren't going to like is the additional 6 points I made up to the CPU pass defense to equal the 6 point boost the Human WR Catch slider we've discussed throughout the thread.

That way anyone not willing to lower their WR Catch slider or QBA slider can't get over anymore....LOL!

No sense in me repeating it so the CPU base setup will be better prepaired to matchup to the Human Passing game boost i provided

They will lineup 12/54/90 putting them 6 points over the Default 150 total.....and that's actually still be nice as i wanted to leave their pass rush high enough to make them 160 total

[eastcoast49ers]

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

Just had a very strange game.

Gave up 276 yards rushing to the Falcons, they averaged almost 9 yards per carry, but.....


I won the game by 21 points because they scored 0 touchdowns.

Also, i sacked Matt Ryan 10 times and had 11 pass deflections but the Falcons never turned it over.

very odd game.

By doing this added boost for the cpu pass defense, arent you hurting users who use the qba chart?

[mcdoohoo]

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

I know you mentioned Newton's INT ration....

Try QBA-14 + WR catch-54

Then use CPU INT slider at default 50

I'm also thinking about giving the CPU a Pass Reaction time of 12 just to reduce Human Comp % just a tad

PM, I tried the sliders changes you suggested and put QBA at 14 with WR catch at 54 and even changed CPU Pass Reaction time to 12. Newton went 22-29 (75%) with 284 yards, 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Could Newton's awareness rating of 58 be a cause to all these interceptions?

My first assumption would be to just lower the CPU interception slider, but with the way all of these sliders are connected, I would assume that if I lowered the interception slider, I would have to counteract it with another slider. Am I correct?

[Playmakers]

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

By doing this added boost for the cpu pass defense, arent you hurting users who use the qba chart?

no because the chart has a boost to the WR catch slider

every QB on the chart has a +6 increase to his WR catch slider

If i had went straight with the avg's the actual base setting would be this way

QBA-22
Pass Block-74
WR Catch-54

You'll see the Pass Block slider is at 76 and WR Catch at 60 on the Front Page.

So even if I split the 6 points between CPU Reaction time and INT Slider it basically makes it equal to the Human passing game.

Now if the User is willing to reduce his WR catch slider down to the appropriate number -6 clicks from his listed setting in the QBA thread then those changes won't apply to him.

He'll continue to use the original CPU Pass Defense at 10/50/90 = 150 total just like if you were playing out of the box at 50/50/50

But i think we've all seen the stats posted and do they reflect for many posters the additional boost up that way given in which i never bothered to adjust the CPU defense to match up until now.

it could be possible that Newton is basically HOT and you won't cool him off unless your willing to keep reducing his accuarcy down.

If for example Newton is playing with an adjusted accuarcy of 90 now in your franchise then the only way your going to get the results your looking for is to lower him down to QBA 10

In fact 10 is the setting that would actually put most QB's on the brink of their ratings because only Aaron Rodgers with default was capable of playing at max level below 10 (8)

So you might be in a situation where Newton has gained accuarcy points or his hot streak simply boosted him up.....in that case i'd go straight to QBA 10 and adjust the WR catch slider appropriatley

QBA-10
Pass Block-76
WR Catch-72 with boost....66 without boost the additional 6 point boost that was given to all QB's
