Haven’t played Madden since 25th Anniversary so lots of ?s

I don’t actually know where to start. It’s been PS3 since I last played. Madden 25 had Barry Sanders on the cover. I always connected it to NCAA14 by importing draft classes. 

anyway…

How do I return to the play calling screen during Super Sim? Specific as possible as I think I’ve pushed every button. (I’m on console.)

Gameplans: does the CPU only use a handful of plays? Or have I done something wrong when I created a playbook. (Sadly I can’t import Far and Near sets into my traditional West Coast playbook.) How should I rate the plays? I rate most of them high because I know how to use each play in most situations. But I’m thinking that’s the wrong way as when I went to Coaching Recommendations I only found a dozen or so of nearly 400 plays. 

is there anyway to force the CPU to run the ball more? I’m rebuilding the Falcons from the ground up, but Super Sim has anywhere from 60-75% more pass attempts even though the runs are working.

  • As an older player my advice is get a PS3 and a copy of Madden 2005 it was the best one they made.

    To your question about running the ball more in simulated games, tough to do.  The best way to do it (and this probably isn't what you want) is to make a custom playbook and rate your best 10 runs very high on your gameplan.  Load the game like you were going to play it with your custom book and then simulate.  It seems to follow your plan better that way than expecting the AI to do it when just using scheme and playbook.

    I hope it works, EA has ruined Madden for me putting all emphasis into Madden Ultimate Team and trying to take a sports simulation and make it a pay to play app.
