I have to fist give credit to Jarodd21 as I used his black set as a base and began adjusting from there to my play style, which as noted above is what I would consider casual+ and ended up with some pretty significant changes or would have included them in his thread. I've been playing Madden since the Apple II days so I'm a much slower and deliberate player rather than relying on quick twitch reaction stick skills.
My personal house rules and method of play.
I dont move defensive players around and do do any cheap formation audibles. If I do audible its a simple zone to man adjustment or vice versa on defense. On offense I never hot route due to still being gun shy from 2k8 and the broken hot route system and not wanting to take advantage of the game. I call plays using Gameflow. I set my playbook and ratio distribution and call games like most head coaches would and act like the offensive or defensive coordinator is calling in the plays. I sometimes overrule the gameflow but its only to specify run or pass and allow it to still make the call.
Now on to settings and sliders. Not sure if all of these work together or if in pieces they will work but I'll give you everything I set up since I am very happy with my results so far.
