Well, after many years of using other slider sets and having to learn to adjust to my own taste, I figured why not share what I come up with this year. However, as the title says, if you come looking for a slider guru to make some true magic happen, you come to the wrong place! I really don't know exactly what I am doing like the other slider gurus, but I have made the game really fun to play for me the last two iterations and the betas.
With that said, I plan on sharing a slider set soon as I feel good about them and hopefully you guys can check them out and give feedback. I do plan on coping some xp sliders once someone handles the testing so we can get a solid set to go with the slider set. I am not one to do xp sliders, so hopefully someone comes through.
With that said, if you have any interest, I am also building a desktop app to go with your franchises called Franchise+. It will be coming out soon enough and hopefully between a good slider set and that, you can really get immersed into your franchise.
Check the link here if interested.
Edit (08/21/2022): I have moved down to All Pro due to the cheap feeling of All Madden, ratings seem to go out the window and I moved down to Pro initially to see if we got better AI, however, the challenge was not there with any of the settings so the move to All Pro was next. I think this is the sweet spot and gives us plenty of room for adjustment to get the challenge we all want but keep it more realistic than what we see on All Madden.
Franchise and XP settings will be listed after testing set is confirmed and we move to a beta set.
Madden 23 - All Pro Beta Set 1.0:
*If a setting is not listed, it was left at default.
** I recommend leaving main menu sliders at default and enter these in franchise mode vs importing (I had some weird issues when importing from main menu, not sure why, but just to be safe)
