So, I have my own slider set that some of you may find useful and thought I'd post it here. Feel free to share your results and thoughts. It's not perfect, but I have gotten very solid and realistic results with it and that has been hard for me to do over the years in madden.
The Goal
- To have realistic results, fun games and challenge from the CPU
House Rules
- I try mix up the play calls on offense and not run the "money" plays like drag routes all the time.
- I like to switch on Defense, but I don't switch to catch the ball on offense, I let the ratings and skills play out.

Before I post the set I will post my season stats and thoughts playing with this set all season as the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now one reason I am posting this on here is to get some results from other teams with different talent levels as I haven't had much time to play. I was 2nd in league in rushing yards, but mostly because of my attempts and the fact that I have the best RB in the game.
Ben Roethlisberger : 89.4 RTG / 25 TD / 21 INT / Sacked 34 times / 326 of 504 / 4,153 yards / 64%
- By far my most realistic passing season I've had in a while, there were times I thought it was a little easy but the stats didnt reflect that so much, I only had one game of 4+ TD's (5) and just two 400 yard games. I also had a game where I had less than 100 yards going into the 4th quarter. I'd still like a little more coverage from the CPU but am happy with the results. Finished 7th in Yards. Tied for most INTS (many my fault)
LeVeon Bell : 352 ATT / 1,393 YARDS / 4.0 AVG / 15 TD / 1 FUM / 61 LONG
- Should be noted he missed 2 games and D. Williams had a total of 6 Rushing TD's as well. (Team still didn't finish in top 6 in Rushing yards or TD's on the season). I like to run a lot as you can see. I had two games of 150+ Yards and a few under 100 as well. Bell was 2nd in Yards, 4th in TD's.
Martavis Bryant : 51 Rec / 986 Yards / 19.3 AVG / 10 TD
- Antonio missed about 5 games and so Bryant was my leading WR, I was able to hit the deep ball a good number of times.
Offensive Team Stats
10th in total yards / 11th in Passing / 7th in Rushing / 6th in PPG with 28.9
Defensive Team Stats
31st in Total yards given up / 31st in Passing / 17th in Rushing / 20th in Points / 13th in Sacks (43) / T-6th in Fumbles (16) / T-19th in INTS (14)
Finished 9-7 and just missed the playoffs, Lost the 3rd to last game to the first place Bengals when I decided to go for 2 instead of kick the XP and send it to OT!

Pass Blocking:
0 (Shouldn't play with anything higher IMO)

50
CPU SLIDERS
QB Accuracy:
1 (Most of their games were in the 60% range, some QB's threw for 300+ but I didn't feel any "ROBO QB" at all. Some QB's played pretty bad, I picked off Sanchez 3 times.)
Pass Blocking:
15 (I was pleased with this here, Dupree had 11.5 sacks, all of my sacks felt earned and not too easy)
WR Catching:
40 (Same as for human, they had some drops cost them big plays, it was usually a lesser talented guy dropping it)
Run Blocking:
45 (Very pleased with it here, they usually were around 100yds by the #1 Back, sometimes more, sometimes less)
Fumbles:
50 (good results)

INTS:
40 (They did pick me off a lot, but it makes it a challenge)
Coverage:
100 (Some DB's made some good plays and stuck with the WR, I really liked the DB play compared to other Maddens)
Tackling:
55 (I didn't break too many tackles, so when I did it felt earned)
Special Teams

That's it. Would be interested in some of your results, but I HIGHLY recommend playing at least 6-8 games to get a good sample size and feel.
