Ok so I just rinsed my second game of the season on Jarodd's blue slider set (with user pass reaction/user int set at 50-25).
This is the third year of this particular fantasy drafted Chicago Bears franchise, so I'll set up some background.
I went undefeated 19-0 (won the SB) in my first season on the default All-madden sliders, simmed through most of the second season, lost to Tom Brady's Jaguars in the superbowl.
This season I decided I needed a better challenge and plugged in Jarodd's blue sliders, started the season off with a tight loss to the now Brady-less Jaguars (Brandon Weeden is running the show now).
So my next game is against my division rivals, the Green Bay Packers. Here is the box score.

I'm really enjoying how these games are playing out now. I definitely need to put a lot of work in on my passing stick skills. My offensive scheme includes a lot of vertical passing and I missed both AJ Green and Dez Bryant wide open a couple times after they had gotten behind the defense. Medium range passing is killing me. I haven't quite gotten the hang of the skinny post routes I used to love so much which has resulted in interceptions. My run game is just brutally good at this point. Three seasons in, my offensive line is very solid and I've bumped up Gresham and Bruce Miller's (my FB) run blocking quite a bit. Trent Richardson is just a monster. I am going to like having him for a long time to come.
I noticed on defense I have to stay pretty disciplined to stop the CPU from scoring. Managing the defense pre-snap is becoming critical to stopping the run for me. I am very glad I traded to acquire Jon Beason in the preseason. He is definitely going to be the rock of my D for the next five years or so. Makes a lot of tackles, and pretty good at pass defense. I would also probably get brutalized by that team if I didn't have two very fast speed rushing DE's and two of the best CB's in the game. I kept Cam Newton pretty much in check which has been a problem for me in the past even without playing on the blue set. I felt forced to build my team this way given the Detroit Lions have Andrew Luck as their QB, so 4 of my 16 games a year are against nimble, scrambling quarterbacks.
I'm liking what I'm seeing so far, it really feels a lot more like an actual football game not just a scoregasm fest.
One thing I noticed, I forced 5 fumbles during the game and recovered only one of them while my opponent forced only two fumbles and recovered one of them. I'm sure this isn't a slider issue and is more of a general Madden issue, but it seems to me that the CPU has a way higher chance to recover fumbles.
Edit: As far as the black set goes, I was getting run all over. I played another CCM I have with your sliders and I got brutalized by Darren McFadden (normal non-fantasy CCM) for 284 yards with probably all of them coming after first contact haha. I ended up losing to the Raiders 40-28 that game. I was also having a lot of trouble with my passing, throwing for 4 picks.
I decided that I'd see what the blue set was like before graduating myself to the black set. I'm probably not quite there yet.

Yeah work with the blue set until your able to work uh our way up to the black set. Yiu might wanna change the CPUs rush defense to the black set since it seems like you are pretty good with tbe run game.
It will take some getting use to if you haven't messed with the left before. Great win man.. Seems like you had a real tight game..
