They call Peyton Manning the sheriff of the NFL, you sir are the sheriff of Madden sliders.
While I thought your last set of sliders were spot on, I found myself grinding my teeth nearly every time I ran the ball (no offense to you of course). I found open holes and broken tackles like I had no chance of, before the new set. With the CPU running game: I found if I call the right call, I'm awarded with a stuff/short game, but if I play conservative, a 7+ yard gain is coming. I believe the longest rushing gain I gave up was 21 yards.
The passing game feels more pressured than the last slider set and I adjusted as the game went on. I thought my passing stats were going to be quite bad (look at half time, 6-3) but were realistic. I also liked how I ended up spreading the ball around and not locking on one guy (which would usually be Wallace). With the CPU passing game: One particular play made me warm inside. Schaub ran a play-action to Bush, as soon as it hit Bush's stomach Schaub threw it down field for a 50 yard attempt which was overthrown by 2 yards. Although it didn't connect, it made me respect other fakes (draws, counters, etc.)
Being a Steeler's fan I could totally see these stats and score occuring. While this was my first game with these sliders, I cannot wait to progress through my 2015 season. I will post another box score in 4 or 5 more games.

Cue da music: Eminem's "Lose Yourself" starts blaring through the beat box ..........
Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
The whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant, he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
Da-da-da... Da-da-da .... And the beat goes on....

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, my man from the Steel City.... Are you serious?!?!?!?! Dude, that my friend is a fricking game..... You can't see me, but I just popped an ice cold Sam Adams and toasted my Franco Harris poster of the "Immaculate Reception", framed and hanging in my cave, in your honor.
Dude, I am not worthy of being in your company after playing a gem like the one that you posted.... Holy smokes..... Tell me, did you use V.2 of the Post-Patch slider set that I posted this afternoon? Did you notice that SpeedThresh is now sitting pretty at "50"?
Can't wait for your next box scores... Gonna get a sixer of Samuel Adams cold and ready and pull out my yellow "terrible towel", so that I can do my "Steel Curtain" sack dance once I see your upcoming excellent box scores....
Dude you got me so pumped up for all things Steelers, that just for the Halloween holiday, I will be practicing my best scowl, so that I can give a Mean Joe Greene icy stare to those trick or treating punks that are going to ruin the only night of the week that I get my Madden on.
Keep playin'! Keep postin'! Keep Maddening!
