I don't mean any disrespect to those who work hard on sliders here, but I'm skeptical about all the theories on sliders. Like how moving one slider has a butterfly effect on another slider. Did we get this info from Madden developers, or merely people's perceptions? I do think that sliders at default 50 is probably best, as JoshC says. It is kind of funny how everyone raves about his slider work, which is just "don't change anything".
I do think ratings matter a ton. I have a CFM with the Chiefs where I'm like 7-0. Winning every game, but CPU does score 35+ against me. Mahomes and Hill can just score more
. But with the Cards, nothing goes right. I'll throw with Murray (73 OVR) to the left side and he'll throw down the middle . Many times right to a defender.
