steelerfan's Madden 17 Stats and Sliders Discussion

[souljahbill]

I'm having fun but I'm not quite feeling challenged yet. Most of that is due to a weak CPU run game and run defense. I have hope that I can get where I want to be but I'm not there yet.

Have you ever tried playing games of SD vs. SD

Until the QB sack/fumble combo is addressed I'm boosting up the fumble slider to help. I forgot confidence affects it and it must be why Goff, who is having a bad year, is fumbling on almost every sack.

Just curious for those who play with more penalties. Do you find you get the same number as the cpu? I try not to believe things are unbalanced since we tend to only notice the bad things to happen to us but it really seems as though I get more holding calls and offsides called against me. Now this is a Jeff Fisher team who is usually highly penalized and maybe my team's ratings reflect this. Just curious if you guys are seeing balance or not.

I'm really not sure the reaction slider works well at all. Again, if people can't tell the difference between 0 and 100 it means the slider sucks.

On All-Madden with Reaction at 0, watch how fast the Giants SS reacts to this play. They have a man robber defense of some kind called. The SS (right side of screen) runs to the middle of the field. As soon as I hit my button he changes direction and runs back in time to knock the ball loose on a post pattern. I was not happy.

Honestly I am not convinced most of the gameplay sliders work. Or, if they do it is minimal at best.

I have decided to drop down to ALL PRO. I just can't take how cheap All Madden feels. The fumbles and interceptions combined with no hum pass rush and super cpu pass rush is just too much for me and my skill set.

[SmoothPancakes]

No shame there man. All Pro seems to be the sweet spot, with some slider adjustments.

From what I'm reading the sliders don't work well. Run blocking has a small effect as some are finding it too easy to run on all madden.not broken for me at the moment but I really wish the Dev team put more effort into this area. The slider set up is different in franchise. Still no excuse for not splitting special teams sliders. I'd still like a RBA slider and a knockdown slider to tune the swat. But you should see a clear difference between 0 and 100 for all sliders and we don't have that. Just pick the difficulty closest to you and pray you can tweak it good enough.

Fourth game is in the books and it was another laugher.

I'm not sure I'll ever get good games from the CPU on All-Pro. My punter took the day off as the only time I didn't score was when I got stopped on 4th and goal at the 1 and when I ran out the clock to end the game.

I did lose a couple players to injury. Benjamin was knocked from the game with a shoulder injury but he'll be back next week. Rivers suffered an abdominal tear and will miss 2 weeks.

[jaymo76]

That's the problem I have. All Pro isn't strong enough and All Madden is too difficult. I agree with Rudy in that I don't think the sliders do much at all.

[steelerfan]

Well, I found one way to get a loss. Play crappy QBs.
