Madden NFL 17: Play the Moments Is Better Than You Expect

Re: Madden NFL 17: Play the Moments Is Better Than You Expect

One of my favorite new features. As a dad, work full time, wife, house, etc, this is a god send. I was able to use my little time I had last night after release to get 6 weeks into my CFM. At this pace, I'll actually be able to finish a good junk of seasons and develop drafted players. So fun!

So far, it's the only way I can win a game. I sabotage myself otherwise.

Only bad thing I see is that your RB gets a bunch of carries. Any way to split carries? Does it account for auto subs?

I didn't realize that with slow. Thank you for explaining.

I was playing a game today and Seattle had a lineman get injured while on Normal.

I agree with the original comment on this thread. Play the Moments is far better than I expected. More different than last year's super sim than I thought it would be. The injuries look nicely balanced in this mode as well. I am actually enjoying it when I never used super sim last year.

The one thing I noticed and it may just be a small sample size but when you actually get into the moments, the gameplay feels easier than it would normally be. Anyone else notice that?

I've had the opposite. Seems harder.

One thing I've noticed as I played with denver is the defense is either really bad in the son engine or denver defense is bad because my team is giving up over 30 points a game and the last game was over 40.

The last game I only got to try to stop them twice in the redzone and one their back broke multiple tackles. The next time the back want even covered even though a guy had him at the beginning of the play.

Another game I played against the Falcons. They had 15 points after their first 5 drives. Only because they matched down field everytime and I would play defense in the redzone and force a fg.

Currently I feel if your offense sucks and you have a good defense you will get screwed by the engine. Because no injuries on denver's defense is resulting in the computer moving the ball at will and putting up over 30 points a game.

Just knowing there's no boring Phil Simms this year raised my spirits. The commentary is well shall I dare say sexy in a masculine kind of way. LOL

Ehh I was playing with it in a dummy franchise and I managed to get a 27-6 halftime lead and then I never got another moment as the Browns made a comeback until they were 27-21 and inside the redzone late in the 4th. I was unable to stop them and lost, which in the big picture isn't my issue its that for the entire 3rd and almost 4th quarter there was nothing for me to do? No 4 minute offense situation where I could bleed the clock to prevent them from getting another possession, no 3rd down earlier in their final drive for me to stop them and ice the game?

It is a very cool feature, but I don't think its for me.

You can easily stop the simulation any time that you want. It is completely customizable. I am very impressed with it so far.

For people using Play the Moments, what have you found in the sweet spot for quarter length playing on all pro? Wondering if anyone has dug into it enough to figure out what the length should be to get fairly realistic stats and all that stuff. Thanks.

Que? You are talking about the sim speed in Play of The Moment feature, right? why would the sim speed impact injuries?

There are two ways injuries will happen in this mode, and both work off of your sliders:

1) Playing the actual plays will limit you some--you will not see injuries to OL. This choice includes plays you actually participate in, but also when in SLOW sim speed as it's using the same game engine. This has been confirmed.

2) Sim on either fast or normal--this will still use your injury slider, but will simulate the injuries without using the game's collision/injury detection.

15 minutes, for sure. (check my sliders for more info)

Simulation and gameplay work off of the same injury slider, FYI.

Thanks. I messed around a bit with it last night with 8 and 9 minute quarters and they seemed a bit short. Makes sense that 15 minutes is the way to go. I assume your sliders are the way to go for a CFM that is going to be played only with Play the Moments?
