Seriously. I hate the "Learn to play the damn game" line. This reminds me so much of 2005 on XBOX when there were tons of drops and you'd very frequently see the CPU passing stats be 4-25 for 220 yards. People complaining about this were also told to learn to play the game and user catch. Back then, just like what is going on now, whenever someone asked those "learn the game" posters how to fix the CPU passing problem, they were basically ignored. It can be frustrating.

I have personally had some success toning down CPU interceptions with sliders by lowering AWR, maxing KND and putting INT on 0 as suggested by others. Many of my games only have 1-2 picks thrown by the CPU and the ones i do get are rarely returned for a TD. It does add up and I expect to lead the NCAA in INTs once I start my dynasty but as long as it's not causing me to win too easily I can live with it, especially since I usually throw 1 or 2 myself.

One thing to remember about trying to solve this issue with slider tweaking though is not to give up on a setting just because you have a game where there are too many INTs. The same sliders that often give me good results occasionally give me a game with 4 CPU picks.

I agree.

Yesterday, I Saw my WR wide open as he was going to slant right. I say "I'ma bullet pass this one..."

The Friggin DE basically pops out of the Dline, picks it off, and takes it to the house...

I thought to myself..."There is nothing I can do about that, my guy was open and the DE just pops off of the Dline, leaps in the air, and grabs it...how can I predict that EVER happening. I mean the only time a DE or DT gets a INT is usually off a tip ball, or batted pass from the line."

I mean IMO it seems like the WR drop more catches then the DB,LB,SS,FS,DT, and DE. Wheareas these guys make every catch they attempt.

I have yet to see a DB drop a pick, and IMO that is the problem, and if I have seen it, it must've been once and I must've forgot all about it. These players have tremendous catching ability now. Not only do they jump the route more, but they can catch better than your Impact WR all of a sudden.

I guess passing cone would help, but I only have 1 second to decide before the Dline makes that decision for me.

how do you guys fair against teams like Hawaii that are a really good passing offense and have a QB with high awareness. I mean if you are hoping for duke to not throw picks you are kidding yourself :P

AND I LAUGH AT EVERYONE WHO IS DOUBTING MY CUBS!!!

GOOOOO CUBS!

I was playing at Michigan last night in my third go-around of starting my Penn State dynasty. Trent had an absurd teleporting INT on one play, I'll be sure to post it later on today (if EASW is working).

Basically, he was guarding Butler in the slot and Butler did a post where he broke about 10 yards into the route. Williams was flanked out and did a deeper post, breaking in at about 20 yards. So Williams burns the corner who's checking him and I fire the ball at him and Trent, who is literally 15 yards away, in front of Butler (so more towards the middle of the field) and he does the tornado-twirl that covers about 10 yards in a split second and makes the INT.

Fortunately this happens very rarely. I'd say once every 5 games or so there's a horrible INT. So it's not really a game breaker for me since it isn't too frequent, plus I won 23-20 when Michigan's kicker (who's a 59 ovr or something close) went 1-4 on FG's.
