Thanks, man. Yeah, you should be good to raise TAK a bit. It won't impact too much, they will cover the holes a bit quicker and hold on a tad more tighter. Another option is to reduce fatigue, but that affects all players and can make things a bit hyper/aggressive. You can also go in the other direction and raise fatigue (max I have tested with good results is 70), but would need to balance with auto-subs (which I'm still testing).

Absolutely loving your sliders Matt, I've been trying quite a few sets since release and I've finally managed to get the game (almost) to the point where it feels like I'm watching real football.
I had been getting frustrated by the ai robo qb nickle and diming me, and I was constantly dropping the ai's accuracy to try to combat it. A post of yours detailing how higher ai accuracy makes them try riskier passes more often made me stick with 50, and the results are great.
The penalty settings have been great too, lots of drives stalled out by false starts, and in my last game I had two ai drives on third and short, with one of my defensive line jumping early to give them a first down. Loved it, the commentary even saying the hard count had fooled my player.
I am finding running a bit too easy, after ten games I have Marlon Mack on 1500 yards. Dropping pass block did nothing, I am reluctant to drop speed parity, so I think I'll have to look at raising ai tackling.
One other curious fact about my current franchise is I haven't had a single injury in ten games. The opposition are getting injuries, and looking through the league most teams have a few. The Colts start with a lot of players on injured reserve, so I'm wondering if there may be a max number of injuries allowed per team?
TLDR: Keep up the good work!

Thanks, man. Glad you are enjoying them. It sounds like a good amount of variety and unpredictability in certain cases, which is always good when it comes to Madden.
In terms of running, raising TAK is definitely the easiest - and the best I'd say - option to get the CPU to get their pursuit angles and quality tackles on point. I wish the PBL and RBL values worked to affect strength, but they end up messing up logic (missing blocks outright, standing still and not blocking, etc). Lowering threshold could help because the OL wouldn't try to advance into the next level as soon, but threshold of course is an overall value changer.
Interesting about injuries. I've had such variety, but you could be right about a max. I have not dabbled in the injuries area for a while. If there is any value that has been consistent through the 22 versions (!) it's been the injuries value at 50 - so at least I've got that going for me...

Finally got the sliders, I want for the season. These are the best! After making some changes in pre-season and before the trade deadline, I got my Niners to the SuperBowl. I finished 13-3. Divisional game at Levi's Stadium vs Seattle. Niners win 38-13. All the numbers were spot on! Sliders worked great in every aspect. Wilson, when rushed outside would look downfield and either throw to a receiver or out of bounds! Running game was realistic. NFC Conference Championship, Panthers at Levi. Ton's of pressure from both sides. Tight Game, 6-6 halftime score. 13-13 going into the 4th. Garoppolo, already has thrown 3 picks. I punt, Panthers return to the their own 40. A dink here and a dink there, a busted run for 12 yards. They grind it down into field goal range, field goal is good. I get the ball and get it to my own 27 and get plastered, ball comes loose. Staley recovers. There is 5:32 left, 16-13 Panthers. An out to Pettis, a draw for 10 and a over the middle for 17. Throw to Kittle doing a 15 yard out to the right, Donte Jackson cuts him off from behind and then they leap together and Jackson, intercepts it!! His second. Garoppolo has now throw 4 picks! Panthers sweep, then a comeback, then a draw!. Kick a field goal. 19-13. I used all my time-outs. There is 54 seconds left in the game. Kickoff to Pettis, downs it in the endzone. No huddle, a couple of quick outs and a slant. Downed ball once. Corner route to Kittle, perfectly placed in his hands, defender in front and safety behind, running full speed!. Cornerback, missed the hit but safety hit him straight in the back! Kittle hung on, rolled over and Eric Reid was called for a face mask!! 17 seconds left, on the panthers 27. Completed pass over the middle to Tevin Coleman. Downed the ball at the 16. 8 seconds left..........
Garoppolo in shotgun, motion from Matthews to the left. Hike, pocket collapses fast from the edges, Garoppolo steps up to avoid the sack and hits Kittle coming from right post route in the back of the endzone, over 2 linebackers Game winner.
Superstar stuff is also off btw.
Matt, you're simply the best!

Thanks, man. Sounds like a great game. I can picture that in my head, but if it were me I'd be throwing picks trying to hit that right post route at the end, lol. Maybe I shouldn't try those throws with Haskins (Smith is injured) though!
I definitely spend a lot of time troubleshooting (on here, and on my own of course), so I'm glad to read those write-ups. Keep them coming if you'd like. Thanks again.
