AfterArtz’s Challenging Madden 23 All-Pro Sliders (Next Gen)

[AfterArtz]

Background: Hey everyone, my name is AfterArtz and I’ve been around here for a few years at this point. Since I’ve been here, I’ve learned a lot about how sliders work and how they affect gameplay from various people on this forum. To summarize, my goal with this set is to have a challenging competition on all-pro while keeping things as close to default as possible. Most of the tweaks to sliders are just minuscule adjustments to create more of a challenge for the user and any big adjustment is for when there is a problem in the game. When using these sliders, you should expect a tough, tight, grinding type of game where every yard has to be fought for. You should expect to not see many high scoring games especially if your offense isn’t good. Expect to see a lot of 27-20s, 16-13s, 24-20 games. I hope you guys enjoy these, I know you’ll have a blast with them.

House Rules (Highly Recommended)

- Before each game, edit the CPU QB’s ‘throw away’ trait to ‘On’ (Credit to TC020791)

- Before each game, edit the CPU QB’s ‘sense pressure’ trait to ‘trigger happy’ or ‘ideal’

- Don’t switch players during the play except for choosing the catch type on offense

- Don’t abuse money plays on offense and defense

- When you call your play, get to the line of scrimmage and snap the ball. Don’t drive down the play clock unless you’re in a situation where you need to burn the clock.

- Don’t gameplan for anything to do with running the ball, on offense and defense.

- I also skip the scenarios during the season because I’m not sure if the CPU gets them. I’d rather minimize as many boosts for the user as possible.

- If you want to see QB injuries, I suggest subtracting every QBs injury rating by 25. This will definitely allow more QBs to get injured, but it is totally optional for those that don’t want to edit players.

Here are my stats from my first game (Car Me, Clev. CPU), so far these play well, but will need to play more games to get a good feel for them.

This looks really good! I had a couple games last night and I lost 20-12 against the Colts and had a clutch OT win against the 49ers 28-25. Let me know how it goes when you get a feel for them. These sliders make it tough to get a rhythm going on offense so it takes a few games to get used to them.

Ok only 2 games so far but am having fun with these so far.
Man just lost a heart breaker to the G-Men, I went into the half leading
14-9, second half I fell flat, but still had chance to win/tie
late 4th G-men has it in the Red Zone and they go for it on 4th down leading 21-24, I stop them at the 1yd line and get the ball back, with just over 3 min left. I give the ball back as hey stopped me on 4th down and they have in the Red Zone, I was able to hold them to a FG so I still have a chance to win the game with a TD, with just over a min. to play, I drive all the way down to the G-Men's 19 and my receiver fumbles the ball and the G-Men recover and I lose a heart breaker.


so far these play very well, the passing game is very challenging which I like, I'm playing my 3rd game as I post this.

Game 3 was a total opposite of my first 2 games, this one was an all out shoot out lol. I was winning the entire game till the last Saints drive they scored and tied it and stupid me not paying attention didn't realize there were only 25 seconds left on the clock and instead of taking the touch back to take it into OT, I decide to bring it out and like the last game I fumbled it and the saints kicks the winning FG.


I have been playing 11min instead of 10min like you have the sliders set for, do you thinks the CP"U passing Attempt is to high? if so i'll play 10min qtrs.


FYI: Just noticed the stats box is reversed my stats is showing on the saints side and vice versa.

Sounds like you’ve had some good variety which is great to see! I’m coming off of a loss in my franchise where the 4-7 Rams came in and beat me 26-23 in OT.

As for the quarter length I can only recommend 10 as that is the only length i’ve used with this set and I get a realistic number of plays with it. I’ve also heard rumors in the past that quarter length can impact CPU play calling and could have fatigue impacts, but I can’t confirm if that’s actually true. I personally don’t feel a need to go up in quarter length, but if 11 feels better for you, then by all means go for it, but just remember to adjust it in the main menu first, then franchise and re-import the sliders after.
