And folks, just a heads up (as I confirmed it with Clint):

The Pass Rush Win Chance was tweaked for user teams. CPU Pass Rush was not touched.

The game will prompt you for it on startup, same as with a roster update. You can't play a game online without it.

Interesting. So theoretically this CPU-only game I'm running in Play Now right now will probably still have a bunch of sacks?

Thanks for the info Mil,one question though.

When he said it was "tweaked" for user teams....is it only for who you are controlling?...or your CPU teammates as well.

That stinks, because I wasn't getting that many sacks against the CPU. lol

Oh well, I will have to get my stick up, even more...

Freaking EA can't win around here....it's really annoying and downright childish. They have made a fantastic game this year. Those who know this are enjoying the heck out of it. I know a lot of us in this great community are working to solve game tuning issues....not constantly complain about them. Constructive feedback is always welcomed...but screaming and pounding the table is really counter productive. They nerfed the pass rush....they had to. It was out of hand. So let's test some sliders and balance this game. We will get it right. Dev's test at default. We don't. Who's with me!!! Choose your path....either work the game to get the game you want out of it...or trade it in. Rant over.

You my friend are a wise man... it's a tuner !! If the game isn't playing the way you want you can turn off the tuner when you create a CC or just go to your manage files and delete it after it is downloaded.

Sheesh people get al bent out of shape easy don't they ?? We have a potential "game changing GAME of football this year". Don't ruin it with your petty nonsense and use the tools we are given and get rid of the tuner if your not happy.

I'll say this. I was pumped for Madden 25 on next-gen and when I got it I played 1 week of football + I didn't even buy it till Febuary and it still looked fugly and played IMO like poop ( soggy cow paddy POOP ). This year is the " WOW " kinda fun.

This tuner only made small changes to the coding or whatever anyway and can be deleted.

End of MY rant

*sigh* Pass rush was PERFECT. The problem was QB awareness. Shm now the cpu is going to have 7 seconds to throw the ball...

# 89 mjavon @ 09/05/14 06:34 PM

I just hope they get CPU QB's to throw the ball away/force passes when under pressure. That's literally the one thing that needs changed in gameplay. Instead of going 23/30 and getting sacked 8 times, they should be going 24/36 and getting sacked twice - no ridiculous accuracy/coverage/catching tweaks necessary

# 90 Outkizast @ 09/05/14 06:37 PM

In my opinion, the problem wasn't the pass rush on either side... The problem was CPU qb decision making. When they have time, they should be looking downfield if applicable, and if pressured, they needed to throw the ball away or dump it off quicker...

# 91 Millennium @ 09/05/14 06:38 PM

I believe the game plays better now (went back to All Pro Default except fatigue at 70 for testing) than it had at any point for me.

How do you guys get so many sacks against the CPU? I'm lucky to get 1 a game. They "auto-throw" as soon as anyone gets near them. It drives me insane.

THIS is what they should have changed, not passrush:

I watched the dallas miami game on nfl preseason live just yesterday, and nearly every pass Tony Romo threw involved pressure that he had to dodge and throw quickly in a span of about 2 seconds. Almost every single drop back had SOMEONE getting beat by the defender and Romo having to step up or to the side. But he also was able to get the ball out his hands, and the throws werent all accurate either. But the point is he avoided sacks not because of his line, but with his arm and his legs.

# 94 orion523 @ 09/05/14 06:58 PM

Playing with a mix of Armor's/Quinn's sliders with normal speed and 50 thresh I felt the tuner offered a nice improvement. I did sack Brees twice, but several times he avoided sacks, by either throwing the ball away, or spinning away to buy some time. He also went deep 5 times(in the air over 20 yards).

# 95 m1ke_nyc @ 09/05/14 07:05 PM

Ok played first game with the tuner. 5min quarters no accel clock. Set cpu accuracy to 30 for the entire first half and 0 for the entire second half. Matt Cassell the cpu QB went 12-14 for 89 yards. He threw only 1 inaccurate pass. His other incompletion was on the money to his receiver it just tipped off his hands and into one of my DBs for a pick. Cassell threw only 2 passes beyond 5 yards, 1 was for about 9 yards the other was about 25 yards down field and that was the interception but again it tipped off the receivers hands. Those 2 incompletions came in the second half. Just 1 game but so far I personally still dont see the inaccurate passes and the QB still taking nothing but check downs. Small sample size though. Just 1 game on 5 minute quarters. As far as sacks go had 3 for the game all by Jared Allen, cpu sacked me once.

Thats because for some reason in this game alot of the sliders barely even work. Ive had cpu accuracy at 0 for most of my games and the cpu still completed 80% of their passes.

Just a whooooooole bunch of BS going on here.

Had it happen to my profile and my brothers. Just went ahead and sold it. Tired of this crap every year.

# 97 BadAssHskr @ 09/05/14 07:21 PM

Up until now i had been playing on very slow, thinking it was really moving pretty good. First game today, i had to bump it up to slow to replicate what i was used too. Might have to even go to normal.

Normal actually plays pretty good this year. I was a guy who played on slow but normal seems right atleast for me.
