CPU vs CPU Players... How are you enjoying the game. Anything Specific you recommend?

[vtcrb]

I am really enjoying this game for what it is, the First New College Football Game in Over a Decade.

I went a Suggestion I saw in the OS Slider Section and I am running the game for CPU vs CPU on Freshmen Level. Truly don't know if the Level of Play effects CPU vs CPU but I am satisfied with it.

There are so many thread spread out all Over OS, I wanted to get one JUST FOR CPU vs CPU Players and get what they are doing to enjoy the Game.

Looking forward to hearing back from Everyone.

I am Using the Create A New Member and then RETIRE after the game to Spectate games in Dynasty Mode.

CPU VS CPU is awesome. I'm over user input and getting frustrated from my own dumb mistakes. Haha plus, the ratings will actually play out as intended this way. Finally, the game is absolutely gorgeous from the broadcast camera angle!

Hey man, respect to you been on these forums for 10+ years. Have used your sliders before. Lost my old account and had to make a new one. So let me say….because I’m about to make a thread in general. CPU vs CPU plays great, with a few bugs.

One being the CB press coverage bug, sometimes randomly when a CB is in man vs a WR and the WR runs a streak. The CB won’t initiate a press animation and let the WR run by him which results in a TD 99% of the time.

Second for some reason the QB only on the the team you as the user are using will take stupid sacks on HB slip screens. I feel like it’s a programming issue, or a playbook issue. It doesn’t happen to the team you are going against per se depends if you are watching a team you are not controlling or watching a game of the team you are controlling.

But besides that, I have created some great sliders been working on them since first day of early release.
Some good I will add and it’s so good, RATINGS MATTER. I’m one of those guys that after EVERY big play I go literally to check ratings to make sure my sliders translate to ratings on the field. And bro it lines up pretty good even on default. My sliders are sped up I went from 75 speed threshold to 58 I’ve learnt alot so far 50 plus cpu vs cpu games so far. I’m liking it wish we had coach mode but in my head I’m a scout/recruiting coordinator and or offensive game planner for whatever school. I’ve seen alot from animations to ratings so far. Feel free to chime in and make this experience better for us all

I agree. I try to watch as many games as possible to help cut down on all the Issues with Stats people are having when Simming games. Now when I say watch, I mean I don't sit thru every game. I start it and go do what I need to do then come back periodically. Sometimes the game is over and I just look at Stats.

Glad to hear I am not the Only one enjoying CPU vs CPU.

I'm working on a set right now for Varsity level.

What I've noticed is the lowest you can keep a specific slider the more organic the game plays.

For example lowering Ball Security leads to more animations for tacklers to trying to strip the ball.

Lowering tackle slider leads to Elusive runners using their juke and spin moves more while power runners stay true to their power ratings for trucking and stiff arm.

Qba is the most tricky slider so far because EA went way over board on the qb accuracy ratings with the default rosters

You'll be shocked to see even with the slider as low 5 qb's van still light up you defense.

I'm only testing at the moment doing play now mode

Maybe the gameplay is better on lower levels like freshman and varsity because there are no difficulty buffs? I don't know the answer but I like what I see.

I’ve been running cpu vs cpu games all day in the background for a week now and I am seeing all kinds of different results. I keep the sliders default, Heisman difficulty and 10 min quarters. I keep it simple and it works for me. Been doing this since Madden 15. Very happy

This year it’s balancing QB acc with Pass Coverage and Reaction, there is tons of overthrow animations however I’ve seen them at 5 and at 55. It’s alot of other factors as well such as pass blocking to make the QB get the ball out faster to control percentages and to create more real life pass breakups. It’s all fun , I think we should get a thread where every one chimes in on each slider so that each person can build a slider set and game to their likings based off our findings in one thread.

I've been loving it. I'm running a online dynasty for it (we're a group of 20-30 guys - it fluctuates - that have been doing online franchises in Madden since '18) on PS5 and mainly just waiting for them to fix the stupid custom coaches bug for more than 20 users so we can actually get started, but been doing my own solo one for a bit and having fun with it. Think I've gotten some really good Heisman sliders that seem to balance out the game pretty well. I'm interested to see if people have figured out something else though cause there are definitely some wonky things that can happen. But, usually, it ends up balancing out by the 3rd-4th quarter in the end.

I'm REALLY REALLY glad they included the ability to do cpu vs cpu. It is, BY FAR, my favorite way to enjoy football in general (though I have actually been having a blast playing Road to Glory as a 2 star RB at Army)

I’m using Varsity with 12 minute quarters, accel clock on with rundown at 20. Been doing this within dynasty mode since play now will always skew results of testing IMO. Slider set I’m using is from M23. Thought a M23 set would be better since that was the first year of “Field Sense”. Decided on that particular set because this was the first iteration of NCAA. So far, I really like what I’m seeing. Been using one team from every conference to see how teams with lower/higher prestige play. Right now I’m using the following teams….NAVY, USC, OHIO, N CAROLINA, C CAROLINA, AIR FORCE, OLE MISS and AZ STATE. These particular teams have a mixture of prestige and everything I see seems to be really good.

One thing I noticed after today’s patch was that the accel clock kept going after the 2 minute warning. Over the weekend, the accel clock stopped and wound at a normal pace during the final two minutes. So that was a welcome sight to see [emoji16]

I don't want to be that guy posting one thing in multiple threads but I think this is the place for my question (I'll delete my previous post in another thread). I didn't want to post it in Bugs and Glitches because it's not that big a deal and I was hoping it was just something I was doing wrong or overlooking....

....but can someone please tell me if you are having issues being able to consistently pause a CPU vs CPU game? I say consistently because I was able to pause a game Friday and once today right after the start of a game. Other than that, pressing pause on a CPU vs CPU match-up before, during or after a play won't work.

If someone can help me out it will be greatly appreciated; I hope I'm missing something simple. Please note not to just pause a game very early on, but letting some time pass.

Thanks.

So I'm using CoachGunn's version .009 set w 12 minute qtr and 12 sec accelerated clock to get the snaps close to what the simulated games are getting. This is playing the best cpu vs cpu football game I've ever played. There are so many wow moments yet I'm still getting realistic stats and ratings seem to matter. That's all I've ever asked from madden and it just never seem like ratings matter on that game. This has been amazing

Re: CPU vs CPU Players... How are you enjoying the game. Anything Specific you recomm

Far and away the best CPU vs CPU football game ever. There are certain plays I wish were run better (wish the QB kept the ball more often in the flexbone triple option, slip screens are bugged), but the AI is so great. RBs cutting behind blocks, branching animations all over, line play is actually sick, QBs sometimes will even step up in the pocket or try to escape logically. It’s really, really good. Just wish we got some of the BoomTech stuff Madden is adding. Fingers crossed that’s in the cards for CFB26

Yeah man can’t really pause and can’t view replays until post game. I tap the Xbox home button and that stops the game like it’s paused

Thank you for the reply. I guess I'll post this in the Bugs and Glitches thread at some point.

Not a big deal as I said, but I don't understand how you're not able to pause a game. Instead, you have to close the game completely and boot it back up to start another game.
