Dave's Madden 11 sliders (based heavily on MikeOwnz32 from OS)

[dave]

My sliders are based heavily on MikeOwnz32 from Operation Sports: http://www.operationsports.com/foru...-sliders-auto-sub-sliders.html#post2041447552
Full credit to him for anything I didn't tweak.

I used his to start and kept tweaking them. I am still tweaking them, but Glenwillet wanted me to post sliders, so here we go.

I primarily use the Eagles, but do use other teams.

I love Gameflow because I find the CPU plays exactly like the team does in real life ... except for the San Francisco 49ers who cling to Mike Martz's old playbook.

Madden is simply a broken game without serious slider work. These sliders solve a ton of issues, especially injuries and broken tackles.

I have played quite a few games with these sliders and at least 95% of the games have been enjoyable. Sucky teams suck, great teams dominate, etc...
Frankly, these sliders have kept me from playing online, because none of the game issues can be fixed online until a patch - and even then, they likely won't be, because EA's history says a patch will A) do very little, B) do very little, C) do very little, D) fuck the game up - see NCAA 11.


Penalties
(As usual, Madden sucks where penalties are concerned. Only calls I ever see are facemasking, false starts, clipping and holding. I see pass interference as often as I see a live woman naked)
Offside:100
False Start:51 (Unfortunately, this seems to get called on the CPU 90% of the time)
Holding:52
Facemask:53
Defensive PI:86 (I've seen 2 PIs overall)
Offensive PI:94
KR/PR Interference:100
Clipping:51
Intentional Grounding:100
Roughing the Passer:94
Roughing the Kicker:97

Auto-Sub Sliders
I am simply using TY TTroj52's auto sub sliders. I still don't think the RBs get rotated enough.
OUT/IN (TY TTroj52)
QB:45/50
RB:80/83
WR:77/82
FB/TE:71/76
OL:22/27
DT:79/84
DE:79/84
LB:75/80
CB:65/71
S:47/52

Game Options
Playcall Style: Gameflow
(I like Gameflow, especially on offence. IMO, you should use it because if forces you to use more than 4 plays all game. Occasionally, Gameflow will repeat plays, but that's what the audible button is for)
Quarter Length: 15
Accelerated clock Runoff:25 seconds
(With Gameflow on, a game will run 55-60 minutes ... depending on the team you're playing. If you're playing a pass heavy team, the game will be longer)
Injuries: 15
(Injuries are awful in Madden this year, way too many. Mike had his injury slider at 30. Way too high)
Fatigue: 57
Game Speed: Slow
(If "normal" is your choice, pump the speed threshold slider to 85 or 90)
Player Min Speed Threshold: 70
(This is a critical slider change. But don't worry, fast guys are still fast ... this slider change simply keeps scores reasonable)
Auto strafe/sprint: On
Fight for fumble: OFF!

Sliders: HUM/CPU

Offensive Passing Sliders
Qb Accuracy- 33/50
(At 33, bad QBs remain bad, good ones good, great ones great)
Pass Blocking-50/47
(I bumped up the CPU pass block ... but Madden as usual has that fuckup where CPU QBs can miraculously release the ball even in the grasp)
WR Catching-50/50

Offensive Rushing Sliders
I didn't change Mike's sliders here at all.
Broken Tackles-6/30
(Absolutely solves the broken tackle issue. I have yet to see RBs break out of unrealistic situations)
Run Blocking-45/46
Fumbles-60/60

Defensive Passing Sliders
Reaction Time-34/85
(I lowered CPU reaction time and may lower it even more. Every game I throw at least 2 INTs, sometimes 3 or 4)
Interceptions-35/35
(Not crazy about these INT sliders, they seem to favour the CPU, even if they match)
Pass Rushing-40/25

Defensive Rushing Sliders
Reaction Time-6/72
Block Shedding-46/45
Tackling-50/50

Special Teams
(Why EA decided that special teams sliders should be the same for both sides is beyond me)
FG Power:10
FG Accuracy:53
Punt Power:56
Punt Accuracy:100
Kickoff Power:19

Combined ST sliders are the worst.

Drop FG Accuracy to 45 and the CPU hits about 30% of it's kicks. Terrible.

Mike's special team sliders are pretty solid. I really have to consider every FG attempt with Akers outside 44 yards ... which is pretty realistic.

Playmakers... That is all.

 

[dave]

Playmakers... That is all.

I haven't even looked at his yet.
He considers himself a slider expert, but I don't know how he could have that much time to devote to so many games and be a slider expert at all of them.
IMO, a slider expert has to devote all his time to one game and go nuts at it.

I am not, for a second, calling myself a slider expert. I always use someone's else's slider sets as a base and go from there.

I doubt, very highly, Playmakers' Madden 11 sliders are better than MikeOwnz32's.

I dont think Playmakers has ever called himself an "expert". That's just what OS touts him as.

I'm gonna give Mikez a run though. I just didnt want to play on Normal sliders. I dont like Normal speed.

 

[Justo]

Playmaker's madden sliders are WAY too easy, the pass rush is ridiculous and the QB accuracy is terrible

You should try mine. They're "slow" speed.

 

[Tengo Juego]

He has a slow set as of the 19th. But just looking at them I can already see myself not liking particular areas.

Pass blocking @ 0? And CPU pass rush at 100?! I had better figure out a way for me to play in a straight jacket to avoid any damage to my apartment.

And then I see user pass rush has been turned down, not sure why.

I jotted both yours and his down. We'll see. The big problems I have had up till now is creating a useful pass rush, and QB accuracy with non-elite QBs. Coverage is still "gamey" in Madden. I hate this area, but sliders cant change it, so I just have to live with it.

Broken tackles @ 30:

:smh: #98 shrugged off, then breaks from Kasay and Polamalu(I was controlling Woodley who just fell off instead of adding to the pro-tak) and then stiff arms Ike Taylor.

What's interesting is after the game, it listed Ray Rice with only 2 broken tackles. Clearly that number is false. There was 3 alone in this one play.

My first game on these sliders, Shonne Greene had 8 broken tackles. I wonder if that number was also inaccurate...

 

[dave]

I have not run into that once since I've used these sliders - seriously.
I'm not trying to sell them - I really don't give a crap - but I haven't run into any unrealistic broken tackles since I've started using these sliders.

 

[Nature Boy]

Will these work using 8 minute quarters?

 

[dave]

Will these work using 8 minute quarters?

Yes.
You don't need to use accelerated clock.
I only use it because I like 15-min quarters.
I suspect 8 minute non-accelerated is the same as 15-min with the 25-sec runoff.

I bought the game on the 360 this year, Saint.
I hated the idea of buying the inferior PS3 version again.

Awesome job on the sliders Dave. I have been using them tonight it makes the game much more enjoyable IMO.

I have enjoyed the hell out of the game with these sliders. And, again, MikeOwnz32 is the originator. I simply tweaked his.

It must be tough playing with your Raiders Naitch. With these sliders, Jason Campbell won't be robo QB.

I only got to play one game so far and it was a pretty good game (won by 10). I was the Bears and the CPU played as the Ravens. They struggled in the 1st half in the running game but Rice busted out for a 50+ yard TD run in the 3rd Q and ran decent (avg of almost 5 yards for the game) aftwards. I might change the speed difference slider. I felt like Forte was getting caught from behind all the time in the open space....usually by the last defender. I didn't see any whodini escapes from tacklers, so that was good. I'm going to try to play as the Raiders vs. Vikings to see the cpu running game/defense.

Chris Johnson ran for 47 yards in the 1st half vs. me (Texans) today and ended up with 200 yards.
Ugh.
Don't go nuts adjusting sliders after one game.
Give it at least 5 games.
Of course sliders can't account for human skill, but don't be too judgmental after one game.

And Forte averaged what per rush? 3.6 yards or so? Getting caught from behind seems kinda realistic to me.
