FLAZKO'S NFL MADDEN 18 SLIDERS & SETTINGS
Welcome to Flazko's Madden 18 Sliders & Settings Thread. I'm back again with a slider set and settings I hope will give you authentic NFL simulation style gameplay! This year I plan to make the game as realistic and challenging as I can. All sliders and settings are what I use and / or prefer in order to get true simulation gameplay. Each setting and slider is essential in making sure you see the exact same results I see so please use everything as listed. After giving everything a whirl, you may adjust any slider or setting to your preferences. You are more than welcome to join the thread in healthy Madden conversations! Let's make Madden 18 a great year of simulation football!!
IMPORTANT! (PLEASE READ BELOW!)
- Like many other threads on Operation Sports, Any comments along the lines of "It's too easy", "it's too hard", "these sliders suck" will be ignored. Advice will only be given to those with legitimate issues. Please provide proof via picture or video of issues. Broad complaints will be ignored. Use my sliders as is or as a base to tune gameplay to your liking. Sliders are never perfect for everyone. It's your responsibility to adjust any slider to best fit what you would like to see.
- Absolutely NO bullying / inappropriate conversations / trolling. It will not be tolerated. You will be ignored and reported to an admin!
- The game plays as realistic as you make it. Be fair to the cpu. Play competitively but do not use cheese plays or glitches /exploits.
- Input Sliders in Main Menu, then import in Connected Franchise.
- All sliders and settings are the same in Main Menu as in Connected Franchise unless specified.
