TDawg's Madden 20 XP Sliders

[tdawg3782]

Update 9/11/19 - 1:21pm pst

Massive update for those on Madden PC. I've created a tool that completely removes the XP based progression system and replaces it with a potential based system. V1.0 (Official) has just been released. I know I knock out XP sliders every year for the console crowd. But if you are on PC this is light years better then anything I could ever do with XP sliders. Link to thread below:

TDawg3782's Madden 20 CFM Progression Tool v1.0 (Official)

Update 9/11/19 - 1:21pm pst


Madden 20 XP Sliders


Back at it again for another year. I'm on vacation this week so hope to get in some good data gathering. I'll keep you guys posted. FYI data gathering will be done the old fashioned way for now.....manual counting. Which I hate but I have a good method so I just have to power through it. With that updates may be much more spaced out for now.

Update #11

Finished the Ten 20 year sim averages. Things came out very nicely. I could tweak maybe a position or two by a percent or two but honestly I'm good with what we have. As far as I'm concerned v2.0 is done and we are finalized for the year (unless EA does things). Enjoy fellas.

Base Roster data is done along with one 10 year sim at default XP sliders (all 100%). EA's more spread out ratings base roster is a breath of fresh air. They really did a pretty good job of only having a few elites, a few more top tier guys, some solid pros, and then the rest. On paper I really like it. Which means I will try pretty hard to replicate that spread in my sims. Also I have to say EA is getting pretty good with the XP Sliders. Got some good stuff at default 100%. Now on to the data gathered so far:


QB's - To be honest this looks pretty good I think 100% might be just fine. Could drop it just a bit. I think somewhere between 94%-100% will be the sweet spot. I will try 94% on my next sim.



HB's - This one is also almost spot on at 100%. For my preference I think I'd give it just a few more percent but damn it's close. I'm thinking 106% on my next sim.


FB's - This is kind of a get what you want position. The NFL doesn't really utilize FB's anymore (at least not that much) and you can tell by EA's ratings on them. Default will give you a few 80-84 guys but mostly 75-79 guys. Do you want more elite FB's? Then we need to raise it. If you don't care then we can leave it. I will try 115% next sim just to see what results we get. When I post the final set I'll have an option for base roster FB's ratings or more elite FB ratings so you can choose.



WR's - Also very close. I think it's just a touch under where it should be. Would like 1-2 more elite players and think I could squeeze them ot with a few more percent up. 106% next.


TE's - Again another close one at default. Still light in my opinion but not by much. 110% for next sim.


T's - Here is the first one where 100% didn't get the job done very well. Not even one guy rated above 89. So with that we are making our first big jump from default and will go with 150% next sim.


G's - Basically the same as T's but not quite as bad. Going with 140% next sim.


C's - And the theme continues with C. This time not one guy rated above 84. 170% next sim.


DE's - Pretty solid here as well. No elites but it's close. 110% next sim.


DT's - So close. Too me it just needs to be a notch higher. 106% next sim.


OLB's - So I may have messed up here because I counted 48 more OLB's after simming then I did in the base roster. I'll have to check on that later. As far as the numbers go it's actually a little high I think. 14 guys rated above 84 compared to only 7 in the base roster. So for the first time so far I will try to tone this down. 94% next sim.


MLB's - Really solid but just a tad high IMO. 96% next sim.


CB's - This one sucks because we have on guy above 94 (awesome) but then 13 above 89 (not so awesome). Ideally I'd like to have only 4-6 guys in the 90-94 group. In total there are 60 players above 79 in the 10 year sim compared to only 45 in the base roster. So I need to tone this down without totally killing a chance for having elite CB's. 92% next sim.


FS's - I may have miss counted this one as well because base roster had 117 players and 10 year sim had 136. I will check. Anyways I will bump it up juat a tad. It's close and I also don't want to over inflate the 75-79 range. 106% next sim.


SS's - This needs a slight bump up. Nobody over 89. Hoping 110% will spread things out some.


K's/P's - I'm just going to leave this a default. I believe Madden keeps these ratings lower for two reasons. One so you don't pay and arm and a leg for a K and also so the are not all automatic.


So that's what I have so far. Counting manually sucks lol. Takes about 45min-1hour to record data from one sim. Also your brain starts to get foggy. I hope to get this next sim and data gathering done today and post results.

Awesome work as always, TDawg. Without your work, our long-term franchises would be a mess.

What is the overall philsophy in using these in a league with mostly CPU and a handful of users, knowing that the user will train for gold every week, while the CPU doesn't get gold training every week (to my knowledge, at least).
