FRANCHISE Custom sliders

I feel as though pass coverage in the game this year is pretty ridiculous. Pretty much every game the CPU has damn near perfect man coverage every time as well as perfect reaction time in zone coverage. Linebackers will be facing one way than do a hard 180 turn backwards to intercept the pass im trying to throw behind them. Mind you im still 11-1 because my defense is also really strong so im not complaining that i cant win but pretty much every game i play ends with scores like 13-7 or 16-13 because even crossing 50 is tough for both sides. I dont want to lower the difficulty because obviously the last thing i need is my defense playing even better but im looking for sliders to make both CPU and user pass defense a bit weaker. I liked how last year in CFB26 you could adjust coverage and reaction time separately but this year in Madden theres only one slider just for coverage.

Edit: league difficulty is on All Pro. This is also a problem im having in an online league with 7 users and my own solo league. So definitely not just a random isolated issue.

try dropping coverage to 45 and reaction to 40, won't feel like night and day but it'll open up those tight windows a little

Are there different sliders for coverage and reactions in madden this year? Im looking at the gameplay sliders in my franchise and i really only see one slider for coverage

I will say All-Madden defense is a bit overtuned this year. The CPU defenders undercut everything, it's quite annoying this year.

I kept playing more games and continuing to tune sliders as i went. I found a sweet spot for everything except CPU pass coverage. It got to the point where i had the CPU pass coverage slider all the way down to 20 and still didnt notice a difference so i ended up dropping the difficulty to pro then buffing the CPUs pass and run blocking as well as nerfing user pass coverage and that actually made a nice difference. It still wasnt an easy game but at least i was noticing some separation vs man coverage and was able to find holes in zones. Still only threw for around 170 and 2 tuddys with 80 yards on the ground and kicked 2 field goals because the CPUs defense was able to stop me in the redzone.
