Interceptions

[bad_philanthropy]

I upped the cpu QB accuracy to about 85 on AA and it seems to unfluence more than just the accuracy. I find the cpu QB is far more capable when running the passing offense, I am getting much better passing percentages from ai QB's against me and am really enjoying the challenge defending the pass.

Ive also tried pressing A instead of Y in order to deflect the pass instead of catch it but it seems to have no effect. What have you guys done to get get realistic INT #'s?

I mentioned this in my slider thread but I don't think anyone has really done it. Lower the Catch Ratings for the DB's on your team only to between 25-50and LB's between 0-25 and it should help tone it down a bit without jacking up the CPU's QBA slider.

What do you do when you start playing with recruited players in dynasty?

I am playing with slightly tweaked varsity sliders (I moved human and CPU kicking accuracy down to 0 as well as the FG length down to 10 for the CPU), and through 8 games of my Dynasty I have 8 interceptions. The CPU hasn't had a game in which they completed less than 50% either. I do only play with the LB, DL, and rarely I will control a S if they are lined up with a RB.

I followed your advice in an exhibition game, Purdue (me) at Houston. (35-17 loss btw, fun game though)

I controlled the ROLB the entire game and here is Kevin Kolb's line:

11/17 152 yds 1 TD 1 INT

It worked out great! I have figured out that no matter the player you control, by pressing A or Y the player closest to the ball will attempt to intercept the ball. By simply just playing your own postion (LB, DE) the CPU will automatically play the corner/saftey postion. They will try to swat, INT the ball probably depending on your sliders.

The funny thing is the only time i accidently pressed A or Y while controlled my LB, my ROLB int'ed the ball. So I think if I can break the habit of pressing A/Y while the ball is in the air and maybe even increase my def. INT slider to 10, I will get a realistic number of interceptions.

hehe ya, the AI does a pretty solid job of playing the secondary realistically

but it does sound like you're right and there's a problem with too many interceptions if you manually play pass defense. I should actually try that out, since I've been trying to get more INTs lol. but I get burned a lot the few times I've manually played safety or corner
