    Re: Armor & Sword's All Pro Custom Simulation (15 Min Quarters) Style Sliders

    I am actually thinking about employing a 3+1 rule for resigning all free agents for all 32 teams starting in year 4 of my "A Dolphins Tale CFM"

    NDAlum and the SOS crew have this rule in place for their league and it is actually pretty cool.


    You choose 3 players to resign for each team. It can be any 3. Plus 1 player you will franchise tag. And you must resign them to the exact years they request and as another added twist, I am adding a 15% premium in the contract amount. So if they ask for 4 years 20MM I will give them 4 years 23MM

    The rest go to FA

    That will truly make a robust free agent market!!!! Thoughts?

      I been playing with these sliders for my Bears franchise. I work for the Packers but I hate this current roster of players and want to beat them down in the division like they deserve.

      Only played 3 games in but played the Packers, Cardinals, and Seahawks and won all three with a Bears team without Cutler cut and Forte traded for a 3rd round pick. I traded for Saints rookie Garret Grayson and started him at QB as a rebuild.

      Games were all close. I blew out the Packers early and Rodgers just kept throwing and I couldn't stop him after I built a lead and they abandoned the run.

      Cardinals I was losing with in the 4th Q and scored a TD to take a 4 point lead with 3 mins left and next drive Palmer throw a pick 6 to a LB.

      Seahawks I won but it was close throughout.

      Feel I played the top 3 teams in the game and shouldn't be 3-0 so I have to mess with sliders.

      I am thinking putting CPU pass block to 50, and putting user pass defense and coverage to 50. Just wanted to make sure this doesn't throw everything out of wack.
      You will be fine. The sliders are very manageable in that regard. You will see more picks though that is for sure. I think the sliders in place make it so if you make a mistake you will pay for it in the passing game. But bumping up CPU pass block will surely make it very hard to get sacks.

      These may also be too easy for you. Do you user catch? Do you play true no switch defense on the defensive cam?

      Remember I do these things and it is a vastly different game with those house rules. I developed these sliders with that exact playing style. I can't attest to switching on defense, user catching and playing defense in default camera mode.

        Which players would you pick though? Or would that be random?

          I will pick logically whom I feel each franchise would want most. There will be teams that have a bevy of pending free agents and lot's of tough choices will have to be made! Some teams not so much.

          I will continue to use the random numbers for in-season free agent injury/IR replacement players. And use the random number method to generate trade scenarios each off season.

          I am taking this Dolphins franchise through at least year 7 in all likelihood. I plan on playing Madden 16 through M17's release date. Obviously when The Show 16 comes out I will slow down but I plan on not stopping despite that. I am still playing The Show 15 even now.

          Those two games are really my go to sports titles. NHL is getting good play from me too....NBA2K16 is officially on my shelf. Just not holding my attention this year. It's a beautiful game and a presentation marvel. But gameplay has not been addicting for me. I don't like the new control configuration much and I am having some frustration with it.

          Oh well.

            Hi A&S. I was just wondering if you could speak a little on the user/CPU rushing sliders. What do I need to adjust to get more realistic results? There is no conceivable way my Titans should be leading the league is rush defense. Opposing running backs are averaging less than 3 YPC.

            Side note: I enjoy your sliders for MLB/NBA2k/Madden. They all seem toads a ton to the gameplay experience. Keep up the good work.

              I always preface my answer to the rushing defense with:

              Do you play no switch defense on the defensive cam? I need to know this.

                I don't control any players on defense. Just pick one of the three plays suggested on offense and defense 90% of the time. I don't user catch too cheesy. I want ratings to play out. Same with picks.

                I started a new offline cfm. Got the Bucs. I made the changes below in hope to make it more difficult.

                Pass block to 50 for cpu.
                Fumbles for user and cpu to 40
                Tackle 45 for user and cpu
                pass coverage and reaction to 50 for user.

                I won 55-13 against the Titans. Winston threw for 6tds 500 yards and 0 turnovers in the rain. Two rushing tds. 1 miss extra point. Let my son kick it and he muffed it. Not what I wanted to see with that game.

                Everybody is at a different skill set so sliders don't fit everyone like a glove. All pro never is playable for me but I always try to make it work.

                Might have to try a all madden set what makes me cringe as game is not football then.

                Everything went my way in this game passing wise. Felt like my QB was on fire.

                  Any pointers on how to tweak these sliders? In terms of increments for changes, etc?

                    Any chance these sliders would work well for a realistic player (QB) CFM experience? Thanks for your response.

                        I'd like to get more info on the uniform/field degradation issue. When i got this game a few weeks ago, the uniforms and field degraded and i was using armors sliders. Recently, it stopped getting dirty. Are we assume that there is a bug that using accelerated clock turns off this feature. Was something recently introduced?

                          I get field degradation and dirty unis with accelerated clock. It is just even more prevalent with it turned off.

                            I upped the pass blocking for user & cpu to 40. I also raised INT's for user and CPU to 40, and I bumped tackling to 50 for both user & cpu.

                            Raised the difficulty to Madden. Played a few games in my Bills CFM, and it changed everything; Cpu defence is tougher overall so you've got to make good decisions. You will have a tough time scoring against good defences but you'll also have realistic performances against mid-lower tier teams.

                            I found the game challenging and often times frustrating when facing the Pats or the Bengals although conversely, I didn't have a tough time against Tennessee or Houston.

                            None of these things take away from the game, they just make it more fun. Although I was frustrated with the tough teams, it was appropriately challenging. Keep in mind that I've only been one team (Bills) using the adjusted sliders and Madden difficulty, so try it out!

                            It's a really fun game and I'm absolutely hooked on Madden again.

                            Thanks for a great slider set, Armor! I've been a user of your sliders for a long time.

                              A&S, what do you do with confidence between seasons? Do you reset back to 50? I know that it doesn't affect the players with higher numbers, but I feel like too much of my team is entering the preseason with confidence #'s over 85, and I game prep for XP points, not confidence.
                              I just want a hockey and football game where I can spend more time playing my seasons then I spend changing my sliders.

                                I reset confidence every off season for every team to 50.
