A bit aggravated!

[evilive]

I have been playing this game since Wednesday, and it's starting to make me mad.

Complaint #1

Nobody, and I repeat nobody in the NFL breaks tackles as much as the people in this game.

I play with the Bucs, and I have had Charlie Garner and about 6 other backs, shed tackles like they were being tackled by members of the Vienna Boys Choir. Garner broke free from Sapp, Brooks, Quarles, and Barber to run for a 50+ yard touchdown. If this was relatively rare, it would be one thing, but you can't tackle people with just a hit or two at least 60% of the time. I have had to just keep hitting people until they run out of bounds because I had no chance to tackle them.

And I have already cranked Human tackling up to almost full. Nothing, nada, zilch.

Complaint #2

I have had game (All Pro) where I have 200+ yards rushing, but under 100 yards passing. (7 minute quarters) Brad Johnson, and 84 or so Quarterback, plays like a drunk, and is joined in his stupor by McCardell and K. Johnson. This is crap. Yes, I audibled, motioned, Max Passing, etc... Still nothing. I have cranked up Human Passing and Catching sliders... nothing.

Complaint #3

The Kick Return game is screwed. The Bengals ran back 2 consecutive Kickoffs on me. 2!!!! THe Bengals!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!! I have also ran back an inordinate number of kickoffs. At least 6 or so since Wednesday.

Now before we start the flame crap, I am just trying to air a bit of frustration. I am looking for suggestions to help, or at least looking to see if others are having a few of these problems. Madden was not for me, and I just haven't liked Fever since the first one, so ESPN is my last option. NFL 2K3 was my game of choice last year, and these things weren't a problem for me then.

Ideas??

I am sure there will be plenty of clever troll comments to follow, but at least a few people here should know that I have talked about the things I do like with this game over the past few days. And I do like it! BUt some of the problems I am starting to have are robbing me of a bit of my initial joy.

I know of bugs.... and sorry not one is a bug you mentioned... I've had no problems

[evilive]

I never once said they were bugs, I just said they were crap things that had happened to me.

I have read other people talking about the Kickoff thing, so I know the AI is a bit...screwy in that respect.

My major complaint is the complete inability to tackle. How many tackles did Derrick Brooks really miss last year?? He misses about half of the tackles I attempt with him. The man is huge!!! Jeff Blake should not be able to shrug off a blast of a shot from Mr. Brooks!

I can tackle just fine... look at my dynasty...

Or, you could actually read my initial post.

Once again, the normal comments come out, and they don't even bother to read that I use the sliders.

[Heelfan71]

I read that. Unless you are playing on Legend mode with tackling sliders maxed out and running sliders minimized all the way, then you need to keep tweaking them.
