Post here your sliders and/or comments about how to improve the overall gameplay. For me sliders are very personal. What I like others may not. As long as I am having fun, competitive games that's all I am looking for.

As per usual, most penalty sliders do not work. However, from testing I feel as though false start, holding and facemask and clipping seem to dumb down the cpu run game and overall aggressiveness. Therefore I am leaving penalties at default for Madden 15.
Also, once you drop the cpu below 10 for QB accuracy you really see some poor throws. At QB acc of 5-7 I am seeing most QB's in the 60% range. Upping hum pass coverage also helps against robo QB's.
Sadly it appears that auto-subs work very well in play now but they are not effective in CFM. This has been stated by many other people at OS. It was an issue last year and an issue this year. This will really impact two back teams.
In truth the gameplay for this game is so good that you don't need a lot of slider adjustments. Little tweaks fix MOST issues. Well done EA!

These are working for ME but the way I play may be totally different from others. I am NOT suggesting to use them but rather sharing them and hoping to see what others are using. I am a firm believer that you need to play with the sliders until you find a comfort zone. Right now this is working for me so I am happy.

I'll give those a try Jaymo.
If only there were a way to get cpu QB's to throw the ball. Increasing pass protection only means there is less pressure. Cpu QB's still take sacks non-stop. You almost need to house rule no blitz in order to get less than 5 sacks per game.

Any thougths CLW?
I haven't tried any sliders yet but I plan on giving these and Charter's (over at OS) a try.
Oh yeah that's the other one I want to try too. It will be interesting to see what we think of both sets in comparison to each other.
From Charter at OS for what it's worth:
(You really need to edit the traits of at least the starting QB's if not all to have Yes on the Throws the ball away trait. Also pick paranoid for the pocket awareness trait. This really cut's down on the sacks. I shared my roster with these done under my gamer tag xXCharter04Xx)
Problem is though that this only works for the first few seasons. Once rookie QB's enter the league you cannot edit their attributes. Some people believe changing intentional grounding fixes things but in my experimenting I have NOT seen this result.
I am going to raise cpu run block to 60. In CFM the average run of the mill RB's just don't get enough yardage (about 3.6 ypc).
The really tough thing about changing sliders during your CFM is CONFIDENCE. It really inflates/deflates your players. When Janikowski was below 30 he could not hit the back side of a barn. Marquette King has a 99 confidence and every game he will have a coffin corner punt.
Play now does play different to CFM but at this point I am too invested in my franchise to go back in play now and change things up.
I haven't dicked around with sliders yet, are you guys sharing them?
The dude abides.
Using jaymo's set:
1st game Saints (CPU) 10 @ Falcons (ME) 41
Total Off 145/523
Rushing 54/195
Passing 91/328
Turnovers 1/1
Possession 15:19 / 32:41
Game was over in the 2nd quarter and I milked the clock in the 4th. The only td for the saints came on a fumble by jackson after a big hit and a long return.
I really don't see the need for many slider adjustments this year. I play on All Madden with QB Acc turned down to 30 for both Human and CPU. Only penalty slider I change is Intentional Grounding up to 75. Only reason I do that is to get the QB to throw the ball away more often when under pressure instead of taking sacks (it doesn't actually cause more intentional grounding penalties).
Ran 3 seasons of CFM with these along with 15 min quarters (with clock run to 13 seconds) and perfect sim-style stats for all my games. The CPU sim'd games obviously have stat issues (especially INTs) but not much you can do about that. But all m team's stats were damn near perfect to what they should be in real life.
I played as the Steelers. My 3 seasons went like this:
- Season 1: 11-5 (Team stayed healthy and I won the division), lost in Wild Card round of playoffs (The Chiefs D dominated me)
- Season 2: 8-8 (Lost Roethlisberger for 7 games of season and went 2-5 without him), missed playoffs
- Season 3: 9-7 (Lost several key defensive players early but got healthy late in the year), last wild card spot and took it all the way to the AFC Championship game (Colts destroyed me in that game)
I haven't gone back to CFM since release day. I do know that I have gotten a lot better at the game so I would assume that my results would be better if I play another season.
Not sure if I'm ready for the ALL-MADDEN settings and sliders. I did try these All-Pro sliders from OS, played 2 games with my son in "play now" and the games were great!
