FLAZKO'S TRUE NFL REALISM - MADDEN 21
I'm Flazko. I like realism, if you do to, you're in the right place.
IMPORTANT! (PLEASE READ BELOW!)
- NO bullying / inappropriate conversations / trolling. It will not be tolerated. You will be ignored and reported to an admin!
- 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.
- The game plays as realistic as you make it. Be fair to the CPU. Play competitively but do not use cheese plays or exploits / glitches.
- Input Sliders in Main Menu, then import in Connected Franchise.
Penalties
NOTE: IF YOU PLAN ON USING "COACHING ADJUSTMENTS", DO NOT USE CUSTOM PENALTIES, USE DEFAULT PENALTIES. YOU WILL SEE TOO MANY FLAGS. THAT IS NOT WHAT MY PENALTIES ARE INTENDED FOR. Penalties are a huge part of the game, they at times negate a big play / score or give a team a lucky break and a fresh set of downs. My penalties are designed to best replicate the likelihood of penalties that are called in "Real Life" games.

*All-MADDEN SET*
This set is tough but not unfair. My goal was to create a level playing field and limit the "All-Madden Cheese" without making it easy. Over the years I’ve enjoyed the challenge and smarter AI that All-Madden offers but hate the cheesy plays that occur when the CPU is behind and trying to catch up, you know, that crazy Superman interception that happens when you’re up by a touchdown or the crazy “coincidence” that happens when you fumble the ball in the last two minutes to give the CPU a chance. I Iove the realism All-Pro brings but let’s be honest, most of us here are veterans and that difficulty really isn’t “difficult” for us. So I based the set on All-Madden and tuned the sliders to get a more realistic game while maintaining some difficulty. I gave the USER sliders a “Boost” because I feel on All-Madden, the user is slowed down (players under perform) and nerfed the CPU sliders because I feel they get a boost and over perform on All-Madden. I came to the conclusion that It’s just not fun to run through the league and win a superbowl every year but you also don’t want to be ripped off by a cheesy unrealistic play. This set is meant to be between All-Pro and All-Madden, I call it All-Flazko lol, Enjoy guys!

*YOU CAN NOT USE PUNT ACC LOWER THAN 50 OR YOU WILL SEE UNREALISTIC SHANKED KICKS BY THE CPU.

*All-PRO SET*
This set is for those who don’t enjoy All-Madden and want a more competitive game from All-Pro. As always, my goal is to try and make the game as realistic as possible without creating wonky animations or warping. Use this set as is or as a base to create the experience you desire. Raise or lower whatever you feel you need to make the game more enjoyable for you. I hope my set as is will bring you enjoyment.

*I HAVE USER PASS ACC AT 25, YOU NEED TO USE DIRECTIONAL PASSING (guide with left stick) AND PASSING MECHANICS (high pass, low pass, lob , touch , bullet) IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
TIP: Always make sure your feet are set before throwing, this has a huge impact on the chance of your pass being completed. The pass rush also will impact your chances of throwing a good ball.
*FOR ALL-PRO, FG ACC CAN NOT BE LOWER THAN 40 OR YOU WILL HAVE UNREALISTIC SHANKED KICKS BY THE CPU.
*FOR PUNT ACC YOU WILL SEE THE SAME RESULTS IF SLIDER IS LESS THAN 50. THIS IS ON ALL-PRO AND ALL-MADDEN.

(Below is my personal set and gameplay settings. This is what I use for my games [exhibition / franchise]. These sliders have given me some amazing results. The numbers may look scary but I assure you, scores, animations and stats have been superb. The player vs player interactions are amazing. Give them a try.)
