Chat GPT All-Madden Suggested Sliders

[Wizardtwiggy]

Thought I would ask Chat GPT for a set of All-Madden Sliders. Below is what it suggests:

For Madden 2025, achieving realistic gameplay on All-Madden difficulty while keeping the challenge intact can be tricky. The All-Madden difficulty is often tuned to make the CPU stronger, but this can sometimes lead to unrealistic outcomes (such as too many sacks, dropped passes, or overly accurate CPU quarterbacks). Adjusting the sliders to better reflect NFL statistics and gameplay will help create a more authentic experience, focusing on balancing offensive and defensive play, keeping player ratings relevant, and mirroring real-life NFL gameplay.

Here’s a set of sliders designed for Madden 2025 All-Madden level to reflect NFL realism.

Gameplay Options:
Quarter Length: 12 minutes
Accelerated Clock: On
Runoff Time: 15 seconds (this gives you a realistic number of plays per game, 120-130 total combined, similar to NFL averages)
Skill Level: All-Madden
Injuries: Was 50 now 25 (to maintain NFL injury rates)
Fatigue: Was 55 now 60 (to add realism in player fatigue and rotation)
Speed Parity (Threshold): Was 45 now 48(balancing speed differences between players—faster players should stand out, but not dominate unrealistically)
Player Skill Sliders
(These sliders will adjust the performance of the human-controlled team)

QB Accuracy: 5
(This lowers QB accuracy, making throws more challenging, similar to NFL-level completion rates around 60-65%)

Pass Blocking: Was 10 now 5
(This reduces overly strong offensive line performance, helping the CPU defense generate realistic pass-rush pressure)

WR Catching: 45
(Reduces over-the-top catching ability while maintaining realistic drops in contested situations)

Run Blocking: Was 10 now 15
(Limits excessive big runs while ensuring running lanes still develop. Yards per carry should average around 4-5)

Fumbles: Was 50 now 60
(Keeps fumble occurrences in line with NFL averages)

Pass Defense Reaction Time: 55
(Slightly improves defensive reaction, but avoids making it too easy for defenders to break up passes)

Interceptions: Was 30 now 40
(Prevents an unrealistic number of interceptions. You should still get picks if you make good plays, but not too frequently)

Pass Coverage: 55
(Improves the ability of DBs to stick with receivers without making passing impossible)

Tackling: 50
(This allows for a balance between realistic tackle success and some broken tackles by elusive or strong players)

CPU Skill Sliders
(These sliders adjust the CPU-controlled team's performance to maintain fairness and realism)

QB Accuracy: 5
(Reduces pinpoint CPU QB accuracy, leading to more realistic completion percentages. CPU QBs should complete around 60-65% of passes)

Pass Blocking: Was 10 now 5
(Makes the CPU offensive line more realistic, allowing for occasional pressure and realistic sack totals)

WR Catching: 45
(Makes CPU catching a bit less automatic, with occasional drops in contested situations, reflecting NFL stats)

Run Blocking: Was 15 now 25
(Balances the CPU run game, making it effective but not overpowering. Expect CPU RBs to average 4-5 yards per carry)

Fumbles: Was 50 now 60
(Keeps CPU fumble frequency realistic)

Pass Defense Reaction Time: 55
(Makes CPU defensive backs more reactive to passes, forcing you to make quicker decisions as a QB)

Interceptions: 30
(Prevents the CPU from unrealistically picking off too many passes)

Pass Coverage: 55
(Tightens up CPU pass coverage without making it impossible to complete passes)

Tackling: 50
(Keeps CPU tackling consistent but not too dominant, allowing for occasional broken tackles by high-rated offensive players)

Special Teams Sliders:
FG Power: 50
(Keeps field goal power at realistic levels)
FG Accuracy: 35
(Makes field goals a bit more challenging to reflect NFL kickers' success rates)
Punt Power: 52
(Keeps punts at a realistic distance)
Punt Accuracy: 45
(Slightly reduces the pinpoint accuracy of punts, making special teams more unpredictable)
Kickoff Power: 50
(Allows for a realistic balance between touchbacks and returnable kicks)
Penalties Sliders:
NFL games often have a realistic number of penalties. To reflect this, adjust the penalty sliders as follows:

Offside: 55
(Encourages more offside calls to reflect NFL gameplay)
False Start: 55
(More frequent false starts, especially in critical moments, reflecting NFL mistakes)
Holding: 55
(Increases holding calls to a more realistic frequency, particularly on running plays)
Facemask: 50
(Balanced for realistic facemask penalties)
Defensive Pass Interference: 60
(Increases DPI calls to match NFL tendencies for contact penalties)
Offensive Pass Interference: 50
(Rarely called in the NFL, keep at default)
Kick Catch Interference: 50
(Balanced, as it’s rare but can happen)
Clipping: 50
(Keeps clipping calls realistic)
Roughing the Passer: 50
(Keeps a fair balance, preventing too many roughing penalties)
Roughing the Kicker: Off
(Keeps the number of calls balanced)
Auto Sub Sliders:
To ensure realistic player rotations due to fatigue, set the auto subs for both offensive and defensive players. This will also help simulate NFL rotations and injuries over the course of a game.

Offense:
QB Sub In/Out: 1/0
(Rarely substitute QBs)
RB Sub In/Out: 85/80
(Allows for more RB rotation, similar to the NFL where RBs switch out due to fatigue)
WR/TE Sub In/Out: 80/75
(Ensures WR rotation, especially on long drives)
OL Sub In/Out: 1/0
(Rarely substitute offensive linemen)
Defense:
DL Sub In/Out: 85/80
(Defensive linemen rotate more often due to fatigue)
LB Sub In/Out: 80/75
(Linebackers rotate moderately)
CB Sub In/Out: 80/75
(Corners rotate less often but still get some rest)
S Sub In/Out: 80/75
(Safeties rotate similarly to cornerbacks)

I'm certainly going to give them a go. I play a no switch rule on defense, and a no manual catch on offense and play as an owner to take out the scenarios. Also, I've set training to auto to take the mini games and weekly goals out of my control and hopefully add some longevity to franchise mode. Found doing these manually was too easy to improve players and coaches ratings and hopefully more inline to CPU controlled teams.

Thought I'd share so if you do use them, how do you find them? What adjustments need making if any?

Also asked Chat GPT for an All-Pro set:

For Madden 2025 on All-Pro difficulty, achieving realistic gameplay while keeping it challenging is a balance between adjusting the AI performance and reflecting real NFL statistics. All-Pro is slightly less difficult than All-Madden, but it provides a more balanced and fair experience, making it a good foundation for realistic gameplay. With the right sliders, you can align the game to mirror NFL stats, including completion percentages, rushing yards, sacks, turnovers, and overall pace.

Here is a set of sliders designed to deliver a realistic NFL experience on All-Pro difficulty:

Interesting idea, will try the All-Pro set out

[Wizardtwiggy]

The only setting it doesn’t give is the physics based tackling so I’m leaving it at the default

And where might this "game speed" setting be located??

I don’t think there is one. Not one I could find anyway.

Just like the penalty setting where it’s either on or off, this states 50 default.

I’ve only managed one half on all-madden and I’m really surprised how well they play. Hoping to get a good few games over the weekend

The older madden games had the speed settings of Very Slow, Slow, Normal, Fast and Very Fast I believe. Maybe Chat GPT pulled that info in.

Also this would be interesting for Heisman/All American on NCAA 25 as well.

I’ve pulled-up a set from Chat GPT for CFB25 but not tried it yet (haven’t played CFB since Madden came out) but gives explanations for each setting like above
