I'm already in my offline CFM and I really don't have any plans on stopping it or starting over unless the issue just absolutely CANNOT be overlooked.

One sim had one 4,000 yard passer and Peyton had like 13 TDs playing 16 games lol

Ok ,rented the ps4 version and simmed 2 years, stats were pretty decent. Much improved. Keys things that i noticed was that young qbs went up quick!

Manziel and Bortles were 99's after 2 yrs and older players retired or lost only about 2-5 points to their ovr's.Not too bad and after 2 years 13 teams had switched starting qb's.

Only glaring issue is that Luck was off the Colts and on the chargers after year 2. Roethlisberger and Bradford swapped teams. Manning dropped to a 75.

How many players were above 20 int's? Just because Wilson has 22 doesn't mean they are high last year the following players had over 20:

Eli - 27
Flacco - 22
Carson - 22
Geno - 21
Dalton - 20

Stafford had 19. So if its around 5 (+/- a few) it's just right.

just did a sim, these were my results. 9 qbs over 4000 yards, but none over 5000, im ok with that. 21 qbs had 20 or more touchdowns but none had 30, thats a little off but its only one sim.5 qbs with 20 or more picks.

everything else looks pretty good in reguards to other positions

Because 3 elite QB's (Brees, Brady and Manning) and one who has the best WR in the league (Stafford) all threw for 5000 yards suddenly it is a new trend in the NFL? Last year there was a grand total of 2, in 2012 there was 1. That's hardly a growing trend.

This is a problem. Going to have to do a lot of editing on those two.

There's been at least one 5000 yd passer in each of the last 3 seasons, there's no reason that trend won't continue. It's pretty obvious the NFL has an agenda to increase passing. dude, are you just making these numbers up? these are the top 10 receivers from last year 1 Josh Gordon, WR CLE 87 159 1,646 18.9 2 Antonio Brown, WR PIT 110 165 1,499 13.6 3 Calvin Johnson, WR DET 84 156 1,492 17.8 4 Demaryius Thomas, WR DEN 92 143 1,430 15.5 5 A.J. Green, WR CIN 98 180 1,426 14.6 6 Alshon Jeffery, WR CHI 89 150 1,421 16.0 7 Andre Johnson, WR HOU 109 181 1,407 12.9 8 Pierre Garcon, WR WSH 113 184 1,346 11.9 9 DeSean Jackson, WR PHI 82 126 1,332 16.2 10 Jordy Nelson, WR GB 85 126 1,314 15.5 That's an average of 15.1 yds per reception. Some guys averaged 18 and 19 yds per catch. Not a single player in Madden's top 10 averaged over 14, and some years, no one over 13. That's a pretty big difference. I just find it disheartening that everyone is so happy about these new numbers because the bar for accuate stats was set so low with the previous sim stats. These are still by far the worst sim numbers of any of the 4 major sports games, by a pretty big margin. And there's a lot of other innacuracies in the sim numbers across the board, but I haven't really looked at everything in depth, and the innacurate passing and receiving stats are the two that stand out the most to me. I'm not trying to nitpick for the sake of nitpicking, but these are still not good sim numbers just because the previous ones were so bad. They're just not.

I clearly said top 10 by receptions. If you believe the stats to be deal breaking, fair enough. I don't see them as outside the realm of reality.
