Re: Penalties need to be set before gameplay sliders

You may want to reconsider your approach to setting up your sliders though, since I believe that the proverbial "Band-Aid" that is being sought to address the sack glitch and robo-QB certainly can be addressed by taming the "arcade/cartoonish tendencies" of the underlying AI and watering down the "over-hyped" attributes that Donny's ratings deliver, through the penalty sliders


The Wiz has a working slider brew and is presently playing dozens of games with it. Typically have a couple of bud's come over to my man cave during the evenings and play Madden (have two PS4's to work with) against the CPU until our significant others threaten "dire consequences" if they don't come home.... To date, the stats and metrics are not bad. Good mix of low scoring contests, a few blowouts, the turnovers seem about right based on our skill level and poor decisions throwing the rock, and the sacks and robo-QB glitches are not a "front and center" when playing against the CPU.


Plan to continue testing several more theories that the Wiz has to explore for at least a complete season, or so. One theory that the Wiz did explore and did not work out well, was initially working on getting the OL/DL interaction right. Since a lot of Madden is an animation sequence, I would get the a decent OL/DL interaction but the common identified glitches would still happen, so I did not pursue that line of thought very long. It wasn't until I decided to build the entire brew from the penalties on up, that I started to have breakthroughs on taming the beast.


Just my .02 ....
Testing OL/DL testing is easy....You test plays where Guards pull; test the reaction and blocking of corner and safety blitzes...

Nothing will be perfect in this mess of a game, but getting OL to at least pull on time and make their block, how long they hold it is secondary...I just want the defender to be in position; nothing more.
