Cycloniac’s TrueSim Madden 21 CFM Sliders (CPUvCPU/Coach Mode)

Cycloniac’s TrueSim Madden 21 CFM Sliders

If you know TrueSim, then you know what the goal is: realistic, statistically-tested gameplay.

In CFM, I play this way and suggest you do the same:
-Super Slim set to Slow, advance to end of game (CPUvCPU).
OR
-Play the Moments, but you can't skip a moment or the game will crash.

This year, I've found the game to be very well tuned. With a few adjustments, Madden 21 was playing great earlier this year. However, after some patches, more adjustments needed to made to improve coverage and decrease QB accuracy.

Auto Subs:

Spoiler

I have gone back to using default auto subs. They don't work consistently at all this year, regardless of fatigue setting. Instead, I am using formation subs for RB rotation. I go through my opponent's formation subs before the game I play, and usually place the backup RB in every other formation. Sometimes, you'll even get three RB rotations this way e.g. if you have two 3DRBs that are good and only 1 true power RB, like the Dolphins do with Gaskin-Breida-Howard. If the primary RB is 95+ like Henry in TEN, I leave the subs alone.

Thank you for these your sliders are always my favorite cause you turn in superstar abilities. The passing game feels great with the exception of the run pass ratio in the games which I’m sure sliders have little control over.

Injuries do seem high but I need more games to see. The penalties seem low... a lot of cpu v cpu players are cranking the penalty sliders to 99 except roughing the passer they are leaving at 51.

Do we gotta delete profile before each game?

No, you don't

I used to shoot for having realistic penalty totals during games, but I've realized that the penalty sliders do much more than that. They alter the tendencies and aggressiveness of players in game. In fact, sometimes they have more of an effect on the game than the gameplay sliders do.

So, I now use the penalty sliders as tendency modifiers. I see a few penalties a game, enough to remind you they happen, but no, they are not realistic amounts.

Re: Cycloniac’s TrueSim Madden 21 CFM Sliders (CPUvCPU/Coach Mode)

Hey Cycloniac, I’m a fellow coach mode player and I want to thank you for posting your sliders. I’ve used your sliders for the NHL series for the past few years, so I’m anxious to try your M21 sliders. I’m waiting for the new roster update to drop so I can start my CFM. One thing that I do differently from you is that I pick one of the three plus that is suggested for both offense/defense and then I watch the play unfold. I’ve tried the super sim slow method, but M21 currently has a glitch that causes an error after completing a game using that method. I’ll drop a post later to report how the sliders worked for me. Again, thanks for posting your sliders.

Any trait edits needed this year?

I'm editing traits for the roster I'm working on, but I wouldn't say there are blanket trait edits needed this year

With the new 1.10 M21 update due out tomorrow morning, do you foresee any changes to your current slider set?

That’s great news [emoji1303] Your current slider set has made coach mode in M21 an amazing experience so far. I look forward to the updates. Thank you for taking the time to retune your sliders as the gameplay patches are released. I’ve followed your sliders sets for the NHL series religiously for the past few years and your Madden sliders don’t disappoint. Again, thanks for your efforts as they are greatly appreciated.
