EvanRG's '15 min' Sliders (Very Slow) - Derived from HolyCrap's Sliders

[EvanRG]

!! These sliders were derived from HolyCrap's Slider Set, but I I've made a lot of changes -- still I give him 90% of the credit for starting what I finished.

I usually don't share sliders but I spent the good part of three hours tonight play game after game trying to get the best feeling as far as:

- Not too many big plays
- More sustained drives by the CPU
- Less cheap interceptions and fumbles
- 15 minute TRUE game with 120-128 plays

After tweak after tweak, I feel like these are pretty darn good. Switching to Very Slow helped the CPU seem less rushed and also cut down on big plays, IMO. I got 120-128 plays CONSISTENTLY which is fabulous. I'm surprised people said that 15 min was too drawn out because it feels great to me. I just got done with a game, Jaguars vs Oakland -- about the 3rd time I've played this match up, and these were the stats:

Jacksonville 23 Oakland 20 in OT
Tot Off: 368 -- 274
Total Plays Overall: 128
Rushing: 140 -- 159
Passing: 228 -- 115

Turnovers: 2 -- 0
Fumble: 1 -- 0
Int: 1 -- 0
3rd Dn: 8/20 -- 2/15
Poss: 47:27 -- 21:28

Individual Passing:
D. Garrard 27/46, 268 yds 1 TD 1 INT
J. Russell 10/25, 140 yds 1 TD

Individual Rushing:
D. McFadden 27 att 164 yds, 6.0 avg, 1 TD (long of 32 yds)
M. Jones-Drew 22 att 127 yds, 5.7 avg, 0 TD (long of 63 yds)

Try these sliders out -- I know they seem crazy, but they work great for me. I'll keep testing these but personally, I don't see myself making many more changes -- you are more then welcome to use these as a starting point -- that's the best idea I can give you.

Just played NYJ vs Cincy -- I was NY...

Final Score: NYJ 30 -- CIN 22

Tough game all around -- I made a major mistake on a coverage which gave Benson a 80 yard run, but it was my fault and not the sliders... He finished with 180 yards on 26 carries and was the work horse all game -- Still, Sanchez found his rhythm going 22/35 for 220 yards 2 TD, and 2 INT. My Running Back, Jones finished with 111 yards on 21 carries.

This game is too fun.

Oh, and one major note I'm proud of:

Time of Possession was split 31:30 to 28:30!
Total Number of Plays was 124!

I'm gonna check these out in the morning. They look pretty decent. I've always had a problem finding good sliders because my skill lies somewhere in between pro and all-pro. I'm hoping these work pretty well.

[EvanRG]

Best advice if you try these out for the first time -- just as in real football, play to stop the run and it will make pass coverage a lot easier.

Good luck.

I'd love for someone to try these out.

I just had my first Franchise game and beat the Vikings with the Browns 26-13 despite 180 yards from AP. The Vike's QB really did them in with a horrible day and some key INT's.

I traded Braylon Edwards for Josh Freeman (KSU QB, was on TB as Backup) and picked up Edgerin James off the FA list -- not a bad offseason, IMO.

I just did. Now, let me preface this by saying I s*ck at Madden.

After my fourth pick 6 to go down 31-0......in the second quarter, no less....I reverted to default Pro.

Perhaps more peeps that can actually play Madden decently will give better feedback. Sorry I couldn't be more help....(That bad game was CLE (me) v. Packers).

I played as Miami vs. Atlanta with these. I didn't take down the stats but I thought it was a good game. I lost 20-10. Out of the box passing on Pro was too easy for me and I haven't figured out how to run yet so I'm struggling there. Intermediate play action passing was a little more difficult, but manageable. Still couldn't stretch the field with my WR's but not sure I'm picking my spots right. Running was not so good, seemed like a few too many plays where their line was in my backfield but some of that still may be due to playcalling. My longest runs were probably 6 yards and I didn't have many. Turner had a few 8-9 yard runs and finished with around 80. They had one big play to White caught a slant between the safety and corner in cover 2 and he took it about 40 yards to the house. I had a big play down the middle to Fasano on a blitz that set up a FG.

I'll have to play more to get a good sample size, plus I need to improve at running the ball and throwing outside to my WR's. But at first glance without much Madden experience the gave a pretty good result.

These look good but maybe too difficult for some. I may try some of these depending on how my current set works. People who aren't having success should check out Marino's Sliders
