Matt10 from the Operation Sports community has released his first set of sliders for Madden 26! Known for his attention to detail and animation-first approach, Matt10 has been tweaking from the default All-Madden base to get gameplay feeling more authentic, while also addressing some early-year pain points.
The current release of Matt’s slider set focuses heavily on making CPU quarterbacks and the CPU run game feel more believable. Upon locking in these slider settings, quarterbacks should show more variety in decision-making, including misreads, throws into traffic, and the occasional bad ball due to pressure. On the ground, CPU blocking is tuned to reduce excessive tackles for loss without making the run game overpowered.
According to Matt himself, the biggest hurdle when tuning these slider settings was balancing run blocking. So that might warrant some more tuning later down the line, pending game updates, more data collection, etc.
An All-Pro version is in the works, but here’s the full All-Madden setup for now.
