Slider are in the demo (for the CPU) and they do work.

I played the DEMO on PRO last night with heavy slider tweaks to the CPU....Got better and more realistic results than when i messed with them on All-Madden.

On PRO everything the players do (USER and CPU) are based on the ratings without ANY BOOSTS they would normally receive on All-Pro/All-Madden.

Was able ti increase the CPUs running game, limit GODly LB swats and tighten up the passing game for the User. Give it a shot.

Should we start a DEMO sliders thread? NO, that would just be silly....

S-Pad still sucks in every way even though i am used to it and can make 2-3 adjustments pre-play....Fumbling around like a smuck doing it...But its possible...It just clunky and unresponsive at times....I HATE it!

EA has to find a better way to do player models in all sincerity. Some players look flat out terrible...Big heads, tiny bodies...Some players have HUGE feet and tiny bodies...Etc. The faces are the best they have ever been though. Maybe dont focus on the faces so much since you dont see them often and work on the proportions of body parts. LT looks pathetic...Did he lose 40Lbs in the off-season? Give that guy a sandwich.

yea odogg. hopefully this translates into the final game and teams really feel like their real life counterparts.

I think its def an improvement from last year and barring any major bugs or glitches i will enjoy it for what it is....madden not a great football game but the best one we have at the moment.

Strat pad is ok ill just have to deal with it and hopefully next year they let you PICK a play from your gameplan

Quick ? what do you guys think of auto-sprint?

edit: nope default all pro sliders for me

I don't like the auto sprint, because you can't tuck and run with the QB with it on. It also controls scrambling

BTW WHEN ARE THEY PATCHING THE DEMO? THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!

I did...but first i too was playing on all pro and could not run. I turned down the cpu awareness to 30...their block shedding to 40 and tackling to 40. Now granted im prolly not that good..but if definately helped. Once i turned down their awareness my guys were not standing around doing nothing nearly as much on default.

But when i played a game as the Jets w/ those setting i was maulin dudes...so it does make me think that the running game could be team specific. Or maybe i should have the cpu rush awareness at 40.

No if you look at the description...auto sprint allows the computer control as to when the QB scrambles, in addition to normal ballcarrying duties. Now you can still scramble, but it takes you forever to get anywhere, unless the cpu gives you permission to take off
