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

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

Does any one else feel the key moments aren't enough? Just for example on defense you get to play 3rd downs and redzone opportunities, but if I'm down by 3 and just punted I feel that whole drive should be a key drive for my defense.

I know we can jump in whenever we want, I'm just saying there needs to be more "moments" than just 3rd downs and redzone opportunities.

Used this mode for the four preseason games in my CFM and I've got to say, I like it. I haven't used it during my regular season games, as I like to play every down of those, but I was really impressed by what I saw.

Does anybody know if this play the moment mode or slow sim mode is in PS3 version?

Nope, XB1/PS4 only.

PTM still has some issues:

1. HB run for 4 or 5 yard gains far too frequently, and not enough 0, 1, 2, or 20+ yard runs. Because of this, in short yardage situations, running plays are successful 95% of the time.
2. Thrown-to stat is not recorded (as mentioned in the article)
3. Penalties are infrequent. However maxing out the penalty sliders seems to help.

My main peeve is #1. Anyone have a solution for it?

I like the mode overall but I'm seeing weird things like the CPU RB running the ball for 5-6 plays straight without even subbing for their backup... any way to fix this?


Also, XPs should be 'play the moment'. Deciding to go for one or two is a big thing IMO.

This feature is fantastic and I love how you still get ALL injuries because it's technically simming but visually. It's perfect for us coach mode or cpu v cpu guys.

Definitely this. Being i know that coaches don't call every play on both sides of the ball, play the moments cpu vs CPU on slow speed is what coach mode should be!

@All -

Was wondering if I could use "Play the Moment" and hop into the game and ONLY play offense (for the entire game) and let "Play the Moment" engine kick in for defense? Is that possible?

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

Loving this mode but made a thread about RB attempts being way to high. Like 30-38 very single game for the RB1.

I was so wrong about this. I mean, I guess I was right in that you could just do this with old super sim and by paying attention, but PTM is in point, fast, and fun.

I was wrong.

Play The Moments is an amazing feature to me. The way that I play, is I start every game normal without play the moments, I play the first offensive and defensive series every game, then do play the moments for the rest of the game. I love it because you get to play and have an impact in the game, but your also simming and it gives you an idea of how your team plays without you. Not only that but you see injuries to linemen in which you would not see if you were playing the full game. It is quick, fun and for those who like to see how their team they put together (seasons down the road) plays its great. I am at the midway point as the Panthers owner in year 1, we are 6-2, have the 3rd best defense, and 21st in offense. The statistics are great. I just wish I coukd figure out auto subs because I had one game where Stewart ran the ball 31 times, and Newton ran it 6 and tolbert ran it twice, but no other backs got carries. I would like to have it where Stewart runs 20-24 and Artis Payne runs 5-8. But all in all it is a GREAT way to play. I used to play 6 games and simukate the rest in my franchises but this is 10 times better.

#1 is kinda funny though, I did PTM vs the Vikes in my Jets CFM and Peterson had something like 13 straight 5 yard runs to score a TD on their opening drive. Couldn't help but laugh.

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

What would be cool for me is if you could do all offense and PTM on defense. Game would go quicker and I'm not big on playing D.

Does anyone else have issues with only one RB getting all the carries? In PTM, I find my starting RB finishing with 30+ carries and my back up with 0.

One workaround is to use formation subs to stick your HB2 into a handful of different formations. They'll get some touches then.
