If I said that or not I don't know but, I have always kept the CPU pass reaction high. I wouldn't be doing that if I thought it was backward. If 25 works for you then awesome. Quan uses All-Madden so that would be different than All-Pro and might make the cpu pass reaction slider work different. I have not tested playmakers so I can't speak for him. I believe MarketingWiz actually started with my base set and it would have been a higher CPU number. If he didn't then he somehow used the exact same format and most of the same numbers as I started with. I don't think its backwards, I thinks is just messed up.
