TNK MADDEN 25 SLIDERS (All-Madden)

VERSION 1 (9/12/2024)

***Full Credit to Matt10 (I am using his sliders as a base)***

NOTE
I want to make clear that these sliders were created using Matt10 Sliders as my starting point and then made my edits from there rather than create a set from the ground up. I have been using Matt10's sliders for years and he does an excellent job of creating sliders that produce a good game of football. I know how much work goes into making a quality set of sliders as I produce sliders for MLB The Show and NHL every year, so I appreciate the effort and quality of the Matt10 sliders

TNK - NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS FRANCHISE
Week #1 of Season
New England Patriots (0-0) @ Cincinnati Bengals (0-0)



GAME RECAP
The Patriots defense was playing well early and the game was scoreless midway through the 1st quarter when New England would lose Rhamondre Stevenson to injury as he suffered a strained hamstring. Stevenson was cleared to return to the game but the Patriots elected to sit him down and not make it worse or risk re-injury. The Patriots opened the scoring with 0:44 remaining in the 1st quarter on a 1 yard TD run by Antonio Gibson who took over as the lead back after the Stevenson injury giving New England a 7-0 lead. The Patriots were driving early in the 2nd quarter when Bengals LB Logan Wilson intercepted a pass from Jacoby Brissett for a big turnover by the Bengals defense.The score remained 7-0 into the final minutes of the 2nd quarter before Brissett completed passes to Ja'Lynn Polk convert on multiple 3rd downs to drive the Patriots down the field into the red zone. Brissett would finish off the drive with a 3 yard TD pass to Demario Douglas to give the Patriots a 14-0 lead with 0:10 remaining in the first half. The Patriots defense was feeling good as they would head to halftime with a 14-0 lead and the Bengals were struggling offensively as they produced just 89 yards of total offense in the first half

New England would get a 30 yard FG from Joey Slye with 5:17 left in the 3rd quarter to extend the lead to 17-0. Cincinnati finally started to show signs of life offensively on the ensuing drive as Joe Burrow hit Ja'Marr Chase to move the Bengals across midfield but the drive would stall at the New England 42 yard line as Trayveon Williams was stuffed on 3rd down forcing the Bengals to punt with under 3:00 left in the 3rd quarter. New England was moving the chains as the 3rd quarter came to a close and we would head to the 4th quarter with the Patriots in control leading 17-0 with the ball. Brissett convert another big 3rd down pass completion to Polk moving the chains for a 1st down with under 10:00 to play. The Patriots faced another 3rd down but this time the Bengals defense came up with a big play as BJ Hill sacked Brissett moving New England back to the 32 yard line where Joey Slye would come on to attempt a 49 yard FG. The Patriots failed to beat the play clock and the delay of game call pushed them back another 5 yards making but Slye would drill a 54 yard FG to make it 20-0 with 7:26 remaining. Burrow completed back to back passes to Tee Higgins and Kadarius Toney on the ensuing drive to move the Bengals to the Patriots 35 yard line as the clock ticked under 6:00 to play. Cincinnati was unable to get points on the drive as Jaylinn Hawkins knocked away a 3rd down pass and the Bengals would go for it on 4th & 10 with Burrow throwing to end zone looking for Mike Gesicki but the ball was batted away by Kyle Dugger as the Patriots defense continues their outstanding performance and New England would take over at their own 30 yard line with under 5:00 remaining. Antonio Gibson moved the chains on the ground and the clock would tick down to the 2:00 warning. Gibson picked up 22 yards to move the ball down inside the Bengals 10 yard line setting up 1st & goal for New England with just over 1:00 to play. The Patriots would bleed the remaining time off the clock and finish off an impressive 20-0 upset victory over the Bengals to begin the Jerod Mayo era in New England

NOTES
* The Patriots open the season with a major upset as they defeat the Bengals 20-0 behind an outstanding effort from the New England defense and an efficient game from the offense as the Patriots move to 1-0 under new head coach Jerod Mayo

* The Patriots improve to 1-0 while the Bengals fall to 0-1 to begin the season

* Antonio Gibson was pressed into action as the lead running back for the Patriots after Rhamondre Stevenson suffered a hamstring strain in the 1st quarter leading New England to take the cautious approach and sit Stevenson out for the remainder of the game despite being cleared to return. Gibson would wind up rushing for 106 yards on 23 carries with 1 TD in his Patriots debut.

* Jacoby Brissett begins the season as the Patriots starting QB with the expectation that rookie QB Drake Maye will transition into the starting QB role at some point during the season. Brissett finished the game 21 of 30 for 234 yards with 1 TD & 1 INT

* The Patriots defense held Joe Burrow to 16 of 22 passing for 140 yards with no TD or interceptions

* The Patriots will play their home opener next week as the Seattle Seahawks come Foxboro for a week #2 clash at Gillette Stadium. The Seahawks are currently 0-1 after losing 27-24 to the Denver Broncos in Week #1

* NOTE - I played a handful of exhibition games and allowed plenty of points, so I'm not drawing any conclusions from this one game or making any adjustments to the sliders based on the result of this one game.

TNK - NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS FRANCHISE
Week #2 of Season
Seattle Seahawks (0-1) @ New England Patriots (1-0)



GAME RECAP
The Patriots marched down the field on the opening drive of the game with Jacoby Brissett finishing the drive with a 6 yard TD pass to Hunter Henry giving New England an early 7-0 lead. The Seahawks punted on their first possession and the Patriots ensuing drive stalled but Joey Slye would drill a 57 yard FG and the 1st quarter came to an end with the Patriots leading 10-0. The Seahawks put together their first good drive offensively early in the 2nd quarter as Geno Smith completed back to back passes of 20+ yards to DK Metcalf and Noah Fant moving the ball into the red zone. Smith would finish off the drive with a 12 yard TD pass to Metcalf getting Seattle on the board and cutting the Patriots lead to 10-7 with under 9:00 left in the 2nd quarter. New England went 3 and out on their next drive and punted away before Smith came right back on the first play of the ensuing drive hitting Metcalf on a play action pass for 54 yards setting up Seattle with a first down at the Patriots 15 yard line. The Seahawks faced a 3rd & 1 from the 6 yard line and Smith had his pass to Tyler Lockett knocked away by Jabrill Peppers and Seattle would go for it on 4th & 1 rather than kick the FG and take the 3 points. Smith dropped back to pass and made a nice throw hitting Lockett in the back corner of the end zone but Lockett could not hang on as Kyle Dugger had tight coverage and the Patriots would take over on their own 6 yard line leading 10-7 with 5:17 left in the first half. New England moved the chains for a pair of first downs getting the ball out to their own 36 yard line as we reached the two-minute warning. The Patriots ended up punting the ball away as Bryce Baringer punted for 43 yards and the Seahawks would start at their own 38 yard line with 1:07 remaining and two timeouts. Smith connected against with Metcalf who was having a big first half and then hit Kenneth Walker on a screen pass to give Seattle a 1st down at the Patriots 34 yard line with 0:38 left. The Seahawks were facing 3rd & 7 from the 31 yard line with 0:21 left and Smith would check down to Walker who picked up yardage after the catch before getting tackled at the New England 16 yard line and Seattle would call their final timeout with 0:10 remaining. The Seahawks would send out the FG unit and Jason Myers hit a 33 yard FG to even the score at 10-10. The 2nd quarter concluded and we would head to halftime with the score tied at 10-10

The Seahawks received the kickoff to begin the 3rd quarter and were forced to punt on their first possession of the second half. The defenses were playing great for both teams and the score remained tied 10-10 until late in the 3rd quarter when the Patriots put together a scoring drive with Joey Slye hitting a 41 yard FG to give New England a 13-10 lead with 1:36 left in the quarter. The 3rd quarter would end with the Patriots in possession of the football holding a 13-10 lead and setting the stage for what should be an entertaining 4th quarter

The Patriots were forced to punt and the Seahawks would take over at their own 24 yard line with 8:11 remaining and Seattle was on the move as Smith connected over the middle with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for 20 yards and Tyler Lockett for another 17 yards moving the ball to the Patriots 29 yard line. The Seahawks would take the lead on the next play on an impressive 29 yard cutback run for a TD from Kenneth Walker giving Seattle a 17-13 lead with 6:22 left to play. The Patriots would start on their own 23 yard line and were facing 3rd & 6 when Brissett hit Ja'Lynn Polk on a crossing route for 20 yards moving the ball out to the 47 yard line with just under 5:00 remaining. Rhamondre Stevenson picked up 10 yards for another first down before Johnathan Rankins got through to Brissett for a big sack for a loss of 8 yards. The Patriots were facing a 3rd & 13 and Brissett would throw incomplete to KJ Osborn but Byron Murphy was called for roughing the passer after a late hit on Brissett giving the Patriots a first down from the Seahawks 31 yard line with 3:01 remaining. New England faced another 3rd down & 12 and Brissett would hit Polk for 6 yards setting up a 4th down & 6 as we reach the two-minute warning with the Seahawks clinging to a 17-13 lead. The Patriots elected to go for the first down rather than kick a 44 yard FG and hope they get another possession and Brissett would complete a pass over the middle to Hunter Henry but Byron Murphy would make an excellent open field tackle to bring down Henry just short of the first down marker and Seattle would take over after the turnover on downs with 1:56 to play. The Patriots had all 3 of their timeouts and were hoping to make a stop and get the ball back. The Patriots stopped Walker for 3 yards on 1st down but Smith would hand off to Walker again on 2nd down and this time he would get loose for 14 yards up the middle and the Patriots would stop the clock using the 2nd timeout with 1:40 left to play. The Patriots would stuff Walker on 3 straight running plays forcing Seattle to punt the ball away but they were able to run the clock down and New England would take over on their own 2 yard line with 0:11 remaining and no timeouts. Brissett threw incomplete on 1st down giving them one last play with 0:06 to play and he would throw deep to Tyquan Thornton down the right side but the pass would fall incomplete and the game came to an end as the Seahawks hang on to defeat the Patriots 17-13

NOTES
* The Patriots lose a hard fought game to the Seahawks 17-13

* The Patriots fall to 1-1 while the Seahawks improve to 1-1 on the season

* DK Metcalf had a big game for Seattle as he had 6 catches for 120 yards and a TD

* Rhamondre Stevenson was back for New England after leaving their Week #1 game against the Bengals in the 1st quarter with an injury. Stevenson looked good in his return and rushed for 63 yards on 14 carries in the game

* Patriots rookie WR Ja'Lynn Polk had 7 catches for 53 yards and has been productive in the first 2 games of his NFL career making 12 catches for 109 yards on the season

* The Patriots will have a short week as they will be right back in action 4 days from now when they go on the road to face the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in a big AFC East battle on Thursday Night Football. The Patriots and Jets are both 1-1 on the season

TNK - NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS FRANCHISE
Week #3 of Season
New England Patriots (1-1) @ New York Jets (1-1)



GAME RECAP
The Patriots received the opening kickoff and had a good mix of run and pass on their first possession as they methodically marched the ball down the field before Antonio Gibson finished off the drive with a 4 yard TD run giving New England a 7-0 lead. The Jets punted after a holding call pushed into a 3rd & long on their first possession. The Patriots went 3 & out on their next possession before punting back to the Jets who had the ball on their own 23 yard line as the 1st quarter came to an end with the Patriots holding a 7-0 lead. The Jets were moving the ball early in the 2nd quarter and were across midfield after a couple first downs but the drive would stall at the New England 25 yard line and New York would settle for a 42 yard FG from Greg Zuerlein cutting the deficit to 7-3. The Jets offense was moving the chains again on their next drive as Breece Hall had a 20+ yard run and Rodgers completed a pass to Garrett Wilson for 24 yards setting up 1st & Goal at the 4 yard line for New York. Hall would finish off the drive with a 4 yard TD run and the Jets had a 10-7 lead with 2:25 left in the 2nd quarter. The Patriots took over and got ball out to midfield as Jacoby Brissett hit KJ Osborn on a slant for 20 yards just before the two-minute warning. New England was facing a 3rd & long from the opposing 39 yard line with 0:50 left in the half and Brissett would get the ball to Gibson on a screen pass and he would be tackled short of the first down at the 33 yard line. Joey Slye came on and drilled a 50 yard FG tying the game at 10-10 with 0:40 to play in the first half. The Jets took over on their own 30 with 2 timeouts and the Patriots defensive backs had a miscommunication resulting in a blown coverage on the very first play as Rodgers hit Allen Lazard over the top and he would race to the end zone for a 70 yard TD pass as the Jets take the lead right back 17-10. The first half came to a close and we were headed to halftime with the Jets holding a 17-10 lead over the Patriots

he Jets would receive as the Patriots kicked off to begin the second half and Rodgers completed passes to Allen Lazard and Ty Conklin before the drive stalled out and New York had to settle for a 47 yard FG from Zuerlein extending the lead to 20-10 with 9:05 left in the 3rd quarter. Brissett hit Osborn for 20 yards on the ensuing drive but Brissett was sacked by Javon Kinlaw a couple plays later and Bryce Baringer would punt for the 4th time today giving the ball back to New York with 5:37 left in the quarter. The Patriots defense came up with a big 3 & Out to get the ball back for the offense with just over 4:00 left in the 3rd quarter and Brissett would hit Ja'Lynn Polk on a crossing route for 24 yards moving the ball across midfield. Brissett hit Polk again on 3rd down but he was stopped less than a yard short of the first down marker setting up a 4th & Inches at the New York 36 yard line. The Patriots decided to go for it rather than attempt the 53 yard FG and came out in shotgun with 4 WR to spread out the defense a bit and Rhamondre Stevenson would pickup the first down on a 4 yard gain. Gibson picked up 9 yards on the ground on the next play and the 3rd quarter came to an end with the Jets leading 20-10 while the Patriots were on the verge of making it a one score game as they begin the 4th quarter at the New York 24 yard line. The Jets defense made a big stand and forced the Patriots to settle for a 38 yard FG from Joey Slye as the Patriots cut the Jets lead to 20-13 with just over 10:00 remaining. Rodgers connected on a short pass to Wilson on the ensuing Jets possession and Wilson would get loose for a gain of 37 on the play. The Jets would make a statement with their drive as Rodgers showed off his rocket arm delivering a strike from the 21 yard line to Ty Conklin in the end zone for a TD putting New York up 27-13 with 8:19 remaining. The Jets put the game away on the the ensuing Patriots possession as New England was the move out near midfield after a completion from Brissett to Demario Douglas but his next pass would be intercepted by Bobby McCain who undercut a short pass to Hunter Henry giving the ball back to the Jets with a 14 point lead and 7:22 remaining. The Jets would tack on a FG making it 30-13 and that would wind up as the final score as the Jets

NOTES
* The Patriots offense looked good on their opening drive but struggled for the remainder of the game after the Jets defense made some adjustments and the Patriots fall to the Jets 30-13

* The Patriots drop to 1-2 putting them in 3rd place while the Jets improve to 2-1 on the season putting them in a tie for 1st place in the AFC East with the Buffalo Bills who are also 2-1 on the season. The Dolphins are shockingly 0-3 on the season and in last place in the AFC East

* Aaron Rodgers completed 13 of 22 passes for 241 yards with 2 TD while Breece Hall rushed for 95 yards on 17 carries with 1 TD to lead Jets offense

* Jacoby Brissett turned in another mediocre at best performance completing 22 of 36 for 241 with 0 TD & 1 INT for New England. The Patriots offense has struggled in large part due to the struggles of Brissett and Patriots Head Coach Jerod Mayo said that the Patriots will stick with Brissett for this weeks game as they will go on the road to face the 49ers who have one of the top defenses in the NFL. Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye has been taking increased reps with the offensive starters and could be in line to take over the starting QB job in Week 5 at home against the Dolphins if Brissett plays poorly against San Francisco

* The Patriots defense was unable to penetrate the Jets offensive line and generated very little pressure on Rodgers which led to no sacks in the game for the New England defense

* The Patriots will face a big test next week as they travel to west coast where they will face the defending NFC Champions as they take on the San Francisco 49ers at Levis Stadium. The 49ers are currently in 1st place in the NFC West at 3-0 on the season while the Patriots are in danger of falling to 1-3

** UPDATE **

Increasing Quarter Length to 12 Minutes
NFL games average around 125 plays per game and so far I am averaging right around 95 to 100 plays per game. The additional 4 minutes of play should get that number up somewhere between 110 and 115 and I want to see what 12 Minute Quarters produces before considering 13 Minute Quarters

TNK - NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS FRANCHISE
Week #4 of Season
New England Patriots (1-2) @ San Francisco 49ers (3-0)



GAME RECAP
1st Half
The 49ers received the opening kickoff and went 3 & Out after the New England defense stuffed Christian McCaffrey on a 3rd & short to force a punt on the opening possession. The Patriots moved the ball across midfield on their first possession of the game and were facing a 3rd & 14 from the San Francisco 35 yard line when the Patriots executed a perfect screen pass to Rhamondre Stevenson who got a big block from David Andrews and picked up 19 yards for the first down. Stevenson would cap off the drive with a 10 yard TD run as he bounced off a tackle by Talanoa Hufanga and scored to give the Patriots an early 7-0 lead with 3:42 left in the 1st quarter. Brock Purdy completed passes to McCaffrey for 15 yards and George Kittle for 37 yards on the next 49ers possession and they would have 1st & Goal from the 7 yard line. Purdy completed a 2nd down pass to Kittle who was tackled at the 2 yard line and the 1st quarter came to an end with New England leading 7-0

The 49ers had 3rd & Goal from the 2 yard line and Christian McCaffrey would punch it in up the middle tying the game 7-7. The Patriots and 49ers each failed to anything on their next drives and were forced to punt as the score remained tied 7-7. New England converted another screen pass to Stevenson on 3rd & 12 for 13 yards to pickup a first down moving the ball to midfield with 5:26 left in the half. Brissett connected twice on slant routes to Ja'Lynn Polk setting the Patriots with 1st & Goal from the 10 yard line. Brissett would hit Demario Douglas on the next play for 10 yard TD pass giving the Patriots a 14-7 lead with 2:23 left in the 2nd quarter. Josh Uche sacked Purdy for a big loss setting up a 3rd & 22 at their own 18 yard line for the 49ers coming out of the two minute warning. San Francisco was forced to punt the ball back to the Patriots who took over on their own 34 with 1:49. Brissett continued his strong first half connecting with Polk and Douglas to move the ball to the San Francisco 32 yard line with 0:51 left. Brissett held on to the ball too long for a crucial mistake a couple plays later as he was sacked by Javon Hargrave and Fred Warner pushing the Patriots back to the 41 yard line and forcing them to use their 3rd and final timeout to stop the clock with 0:16 left. The Patriots faced a 3rd & 19 from the 41 and were looking to pickup some yardage and get out of bounds but the pass from Brissett to Douglas was incomplete and the Patriots were forced to punt. Bryce Baringer pinned the 49ers deep as they took over on their own 11 with 0:08 left in the 2nd quarter and we would head to halftime with New England leading 14-7

2nd Half
The Patriots would start the second half with the ball and Stevenson had a couple of chunk plays on the ground before Brissett took another sack where he held onto the ball way too long and the Patriots would punt. The 49ers drove the ball to midfield on their first possession of the second half but the drive stalled when Uche came on the blitz and sacked Purdy on 3rd down forcing a punt with 5:00 left in the 3rd quarter. The Patriots next drive stalled and Baringer pinned the 49ers back at their own 16 yard line where they would take over with 0:13 left in the 3rd quarter. Purdy escaped the pass rush and picked up 3 yards on the final play of the quarter as the defenses dominated the 3rd quarter and the score remains 14-7 in favor of New England.

The 49ers were driving as Purdy connected with Deebo Samuel for 21 yards and a first down moving the ball out near midfield but Purdy would be sacked for a loss of 12 on the next play as Anfernee Jennings recorded the sack setting up a 2nd & 22 for San Francisco. Purdy would complete back to back passes to Brandon Aiyuk to pickup the first down and keep the drive alive. Purdy hit Samuel to set up another first down from the 21 yard line and another completion to Aiyuk would give the 49ers 1st & Goal from the 5 yard line. The Patriots defense made a terrific stand at the goal line as they flushed Purdy out of the pocket and he would scramble for a short loss on 1st & 2nd down before hitting Jauan Jennings on 3rd down in the back of the end zone on a contested ball against Jabril Peppers and Jennings was unable to get his second foot down inbounds resulting in an incomplete pass and setting up a 4th & Goal from the 5 yard line. The 49ers elected to go for the TD rather than settle for the FG on 4th down and Keion White would get pressure forcing Purdy out of the pocket as he scrambled to his right towards the sideline looking for an open man but the Patriots had excellent coverage and Purdy was eventually pushed out of bounds with Anfernee Jennings getting credit for the sack and the Patriots would take over possession with a 14-7 lead and 5:16 remaining. The 49ers defense came up with a big stop as the Patriots went three and out as Baringer came on and punted with San Francisco taking over at their own 35 with 3:46 to play. Purdy completed passes to Aiyuk and Jennings to move the ball across midfield to the Patriots 46 yard line. The 49ers were facing a 3rd & 9 from the Patriots 40 yard line as we reached the two-minute warning and Purdy would complete a pass to Samuel but the play was called back on a holding penalty to Trent Williams and San Francisco now faced a 3rd & 19 situation. Purdy was under pressure and threw deep to Samuel but the pass was knocked away by Kyle Dugger setting up 4th & 19 from the 50. Purdy dropped back to pass on 4th down and threw a perfect pass hitting Samuel in stride as he had a step on Jonathan Jones and Samuel would race to the end zone for a TD tying the game 14-14 with 1:42 to play. The Patriots took over and Brissett would complete a pass to Douglas for 10 yards to move the chains as the Patriots try to advance the ball and get into FG range for Joey Slye. Brissett made a critical mistake turning the ball over on the very next play though as he tried to force a ball to Polk in tight coverage and Fred Warner stepped in front of Polk for a huge interception to give the ball back to San Francisco at the New England 43 yard line with 0:53 remaining. The 49ers just need to gain a little bit of yardage to get into a more comfortable distance for Jake Moody to attempt a game winning FG and Purdy would complete a pass to Aiyuk for 10 yards on first down moving the ball to the Patriots 33 yard line before getting out of bounds and stopping the clock. The Patriots would hold McCaffrey to a pair of short gains on the ground before Kyle Shanahan used a timeout stopping the clock with 0:20 left. The 49ers faced 3rd & 8 from the 31 yard line Isaac Guerendo would get stuffed for a 1 yard loss and Shanahan would send out Jake Moody to attempt the game winning FG. The 49ers lined up for a 49 yard game winning FG attempt and Jerod Mayo would call timeout trying to ice the kicker with 0:05 remaining. The 49ers lined up again for the kick and Moody would drill it right down the middle to give the 49ers a 17-14 lead with 0:02 left. Brissett attempted a hail mary on the final play but he would be sacked and the game would end as the 49ers defeat the Patriots 17-14 in a thriller

NOTES
* The Patriots lose a heart breaker to the 49ers as San Francisco scores a game tying TD with under 2:00 to play before Jacoby Brissett threw an interception on the ensuing drive setting up the 49ers for a game winning FG by Jake Moody from 49 yards out to give San Francisco a 17-14 victory

* The Patriots fall to 1-3 while the 49ers improve to 4-0 on the season

* Jacoby Brissett was 21 of 27 for 179 yards with 1 TD & 1 INT. Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo hinted after the game that the Patriots may make the switch at starting QB to rookie Drake Maye who was the #3 overall pick in the NFL Draft this past off-season. The Patriots were hoping to let Maye sit and learn for closer to half a season but Brissett has done nothing to keep the job and hold off Maye who was very impressive int he preseason

* Brock Purdy completed 22 of 31 passes for 269 yards with 1 TD and made a huge clutch throw for a 50 yard TD on 4th & 19 late in the 4th quarter which sparked the 49ers to victory

* Brandon Aiyuk (7 catches for 83 yards) and Deebo Samuel (5 catches for 94 yards & 1 TD) were outstanding for San Francisco as they combines for 12 catches and 177 yards

* The Patriots are now 1-3 on the season and return home for a crucial AFC East matchup with the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium. Patriots fans are hoping to see Drake Maye take over the reigns at starting QB for the Patriots after Maye was selected #3 overall in this past years NFL Draft and Jacoby Brissett has done nothing to calm the fans down or suggest that patience is the best path for the team. The Dolphins are currently 0-4 and have been the biggest shock disappointment in the league and the Patriots need to treat this game as a must win as they look to avoid slipping to 1-4 on the season
