Its actually amazing that these wierd quirky settings actually impact the gameplay in such a way no one would have ever imagined...thank you again! With all that said, I have a couple of questions to make sure I am maximizing my realism experience: 1- What speed parity do you set in your league to achieve best results and if I dont use these, will setting them to any other number throw the gameplay completely out of whack? 2- When setting the Sub IN/Out. Do I have to do this in the main menu AND in every single team's Coach section too? the reason I ask is because I play random games around my Franchise Mode so I have set up control of the team's Coaches each time I want to play with that team my Franchise. Before I play with that team, I also usually go into the Coach section and set up the proper playbook style to make sure its not on Balanced. I also have been making a habit of setting each offense and defense manually to 80/60 for each position for BOTH teams before each game I play.....it seems like a lot of work. Do I have to be doing this to maximize the gameplay? I also notice if I just reset it to default in the Coach screen I think it sets each position to 50 in/Out. Im wondering your thoughts?......thanks

Parity needs to be 50...period.

Autosubs....60/80 main menu. Within CFM...if you have control of your opponent at the time you play the game (such as, if it says JoshC1977 vs JoshC1977), you have to set your team and your opponent to 60/80.

I deleted my profile and then put back in all of the settings in the OP. I am still seeing Jimmy Garoppolo throw for 70-80% completion rate. The receivers seem fairly wide open whether I am in man or zone. Any suggestions?

Suggestions....
1. Get more pressure
2. Watch matchups...the WR/DB matchup tool is invaluable...make use of it.

That said....one thing is bugging me since making the switch to the 49IBB. I am seeing more 'warp catches'. The one thing I am exploring is turning the assists back off...it's cleaned it up, but I am not sure how well things will go overall without it on.

Thanks TDawg...it was partly luck and partly tony's observation. That setting is not changing unless a future patch does something bad to it

Just one quick question tho, I deleted my profile only when I quit madden after I do that and start back up the intro does not start back up like the previous year? Am i missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

You have to delete the profile outside of the game when the game is not running (i.e. in your PS4/Other System main menu). Once it is deleted there, the intro should load like normal.

Use of outside contain and decreasing blitz frequency will help here. I also think those gameplay assists may be causing too much overpursuit. Now that we have the lineplay more organic, I think we can get away from having them on.
