Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

I agree. I never went with the 10/7 update. I have stood by the set I posted several pages back.

I am done tinkering with sliders. The game is playing great. I am enjoying my chise.

I love the fact that the game is not predictable this year. To me that has been the biggest surprise and joy. The DPP, Player streaks and player roles and tendencies have truly made franchise feel like my own NFL alternate universe.

I mean look at yesterdays action.

The 49ers blew Tampa off the field yesterday.

A hurt Big Ben tosses 5 TD passes to lead a banged up Steeler team.

KC comes back from the dead with a 4th string RB to beat Indy (yes they suck but they had a nice lead).

The Bills are 4-1!!!

The Bengals are playing solid football.

Point is the NFL is so year to year.....week to week.

I think Madden 12 has captured this brilliantly with this years game.

I am very happy the patch coming out is minor. I don't feel gameplay needs much tweaking at all.

Can you quote your settings.

Ive changed up some things, and just got blown out in my 2nd week of chise 37 to 14. Though I still rushed for a 100 yds alot of that came in the 4th qtr down big.

Anywho, would like to see what your using.

Does anyone have a problem with fumbling in the rain. This setting that PM came up with results with alot of fumbling in the rain. Plus, it does not help that my RB is Armad "sloppy hands" Bradshaw. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Here you go:


12 minute quarters
45 speed threshold

All penalty sliders per first page

Fatigue 55

Injuries 20

Game Speed Slow

Camera Settings Zoomed


HUM/CPU
QBA - Low end chart for both
Pass Blocking - 76/76
WR Catch - chart/number used to get a total of 100 along with CPU low end QBA #

Rushing

Broken Tackles 0/8
Run Blocking 10/34
Fumbles 24/60

Pass Defense

Reaction Time - 10/10
INT 22/52
Pass Rush 56/86

Rush Defense

Reaction Time - 4/24
Block Shed - 20/10
Tackling - 0/20


No switch rule on defense. I use my entire playbook. I only limit myself calling "Four Verticals" once per half.

That is it. No other house rules.

These settings are doing great for me.


Thanks again PM.

Yep, I plugged these in and they work very well. Did you decide to go back to 76 for cpu pass blocking instead of 80?

I really like these, BUT, and theres always one around, a but I mean.

First the computer cant seem to break tackles, just played against the Colts who had Hillis and he didnt break one tackle. He came head to had with my safeties and corners multiple times, and there not great tacklers, and he got stopped each time.

Second it seems to easy to pass, I threw two picks, but they were just really dumb throws. The kind your like, yeah if they dont intercept this then thats there bad.

And finally of course since they cant break tackles, they cant run the ball. First half held Hillis to 10 carries for 5 yards.

I dunno. I think I just need to make the CPU really awesome overall.

The CPU passing game isnt much to talk about either.

It felt good, but Im sooooo sick of the QB trying to scramble when a OLinemen MIGHT lose his block.

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

Pm,forgive me for the stoopid question but are you posting these as CPU/human or the other way around,

Cause following your qb% thread your wr catching rating is 60 but you have that rating is listed 1st which I thought was normally the the human rating

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

Still wondering what your season ending stats look like for those of you who have completed a season or simmed one. The CPU teams are putting up monster #s, especially rushing.

I'm wondering if maybe turning up the fatigue slider ( to make them fatigue more, and thus sub more ) might help this.

Does the fatigue slider ever effect simmed games?

This is why no one slider set will ever be a universal fit. I see broken tackles in my chise, I see the CPU running the ball strong as well.

Again I use PM and other guy's settings as a base to start from and tweak from there.

Usually in my first season I struggle a little as I am getting the hang of the new game. Second year I normally do much better and I start to slowly but surely tweak the cpu side a little up and my side a little more downward.


Overall though this Madden AI wise plays better than any previous Madden on any gen IMO on the field.

Yep. I sure did.

Also notice I use a lower CPU pass rush number. I found this number to be a little more balanced. at 90 or above they were too effective. I had no time at all to scan my second and third options. Again user skill will vary player to player. I found myself under too much duress at the higher level. This setting feels right for me.

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

this is what I've been using. They aren't perfect but it makes it hard and it's working well for me:
12 min w/ 15 sec run off
Penalties as listed
injury: 40
fatigue: 58
Speed threshold: 25
Game speed: normal

Qba: 8/72-76 (most I leave at 72, brady, brees, rogers, ect. I bump to 76)
blk: 76/76
Cth: 54/66

Bktkl: 8/8
Blk: 12/32
Fbl: 40/50

React: 10/10
Int: 40/40
Rush: 80/90

React: 24/24
Shed: 10/12
tak: 16/16

I started using these with 2 games left in the first year, and went 1-1. Then in the playoffs beat the matt ryan less falcons and lost 31-24 to washington.
Now in year 2 I added some much needed linemen(I'm the bears), a big wr (81 rating), and my first pick was a cb(84).
Week 1: W 31-28 vs Det on last second fg
Cutler 27-42 345 2td 1 int 4 sacks
Stafford 11-23 183 2 td 1 int 6 sacks
Forte 27 for 123 td
Best 21 for 182 td

Week 2: W 24-23 vs SF on last second fg
Cutler 25-41 277 2 td 1 int 4 sacks
Garrard 15-31 260 2 td 5 sacks
Forte 27 for 86 td
Gore 13 for 62

Week 3: L 31-21 @ Minn
cutler 17-30 205 1 td 1 int 3 sacks
ponder 16-22 133 2 td 3 sacks
Forte 19 for 59 2 td
Peterson 26 for 167 td (had a 48 yd td and another 30+ run)
ponder, gerhart 12 for 79 td

Week 4: W 34-10 @Houston
Cutler 28-39 321 1 td 2 int 1 sack
Yates 18-44 201 1 td 2 int 3 sacks (schaub is out for 8 weeks)
Forte 26 for 82 2 td
Foster 8 for 32

I don't like that there seems to be a lot of sacks some games but doesn't always happen, with the lower speed threshold I get burned on big plays but it opens a few for me, but my main thing I'm trying to fix is I run MANY more plays than than opposition. But I have competitive games with pretty reasonable stats.

Just played against the Ravens in the rain.

Steelers 13 (Me) Ravens 3

C.newton 86.4 rating, 17 of 24 for 166yds, 1td, 1 pick
A. Peterson 32 for 73yds 2.2ypc, 2 btk
Defense had 2 sacks and 1 pick

A. Smith 38.2 rating, 12 of 31 for 124yds 38% 1 pick
F. Gore 18 for 60yds, 3.3ypc, 2 btk
Defense had 2 sacks and 1 pick

A. Smith was just HORRIBLE in this game. OVerthrows, underthrows, horrible decision making, tried to run a few times. It was just bad. Even when he had time.

The stats are also skewed because I picked him off late in the 4th, then instead of running out the clock I kicked the FG for a 13 to 3 lead. Gave it back to them and he got a nice jump ball to his WR over my CB for like 30 yards or so. If I would have run out the clock he would have had less then 100 yards passing.

The block shed I think is to much, though Im going to play this game again a few times just to see. But guys were coming off blocks like they didnt even get blocks. Also, the tackle slider for the CPU is to the point where 90% of the hits are now the big slamming, hit stickorama drama hits.

I hate seeing it every other tackle.

Passing game felt good, just had no downfield play at all. Asomugha was the corner who picked me and it was a foolish throw by me.

All in all felt ok, this game was just a snorefest lol!

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

Trying out the newest changes... anyone else experiencing way too many fumbles. Everything else playing well so far, but 2 possessions into the game and my team has fumbled 3 times.

[phntm3]

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

Make that 3 possessions, four fumbles.

Re: Playmakers Madden 12 Custom Sliders

I definitely moved the fumbles off of a zero rating...I fumbled in my first 3 possessions.

Yeah there is an earlier post about 0/0/6 rushing.

I didnt fumble at all with those settings.
