How to fix QB Sim Stat Bug (Workaround)

Re: How to fix QB Sim Stat Bug (Workaround)

Just simmed a season with every offense playbook at balanced and offense scheme at balanced and defense playbook at multiple and defense scheme at hybrid.

Had 13 QBs with 4000+ yards.
Had 7 qb with 30+ td.
Interceptions are still high, every starter in the league is in double digits. Passing attempts were insane on this, a lot of guys over 700 attempts, but they are throwing short passes, most averaging 6-7 ypa.

Had 5 running backs over 300 carries. 8 1k yard rushers. 8 double digit td guys.

31 1k yard receivers, basically the #1 receiver on each team eclipsed a thousand. Only 8 double digit td receivers. Eric Ebron led all tight ends in catches with 65, so this seems to screw tight ends.

Defense, high sack total was 22 and 20. Had 16 in double digits. Had 2 defensive tackles with 7 (suh and Aaron Donald, no others above 3). No defensive back with more than 1.

Tillman led NFL in picks with 10 and was only guy in double digits, so that looks great.

So this work around will get the game so that it's ready or offline career!? Guess I'll cave and buy it this afternoon!

Yes upload the roster and follow steps. About 20-30 min work

Re: How to fix QB Sim Stat Bug (Workaround)

I'm unclear about a couple things.

So, is it 100% true that we need to create 31 other owners?

Meaning, when I fire up CFM, I pick my team. Then what (since I don't have the game yet)? I cycle through each team with the right stick, and retire each other, then create a brand new custom owner?

Does that mean I have to select how the owner looks, his build type, and all that stuff? Like, Jerry Jones, Bob Kraft, etc will no longer exist?

And second, let's say I'm the Browns and I'm about to play the Dolphins. Before I play, I have to switch my ownership to the Dolphins with the right stick, change their playbook and scheme BACK to what it originally was, go back to the Browns and play my game against Miami, and then after the game, right stick to Dolphins ownership and change the scheme and playbook to what I had it before to get the stats simulated correctly? Is this accurate?

Nope. Select your team and create and own your owner or play as existing or whatever. Then, yes you do have to select every other owner and just choose play as existing so u don't have to create all of them. You do this just so u can change the playbooks and schemes. No retiring needed

And your last question, yes all you need to do is change the PLAYBOOK before you play and then back after. It taks like 5 seconds

That's great that you did this but the most important thing we need right now is a control sim. We need someone to sim with the games out of the box settings for 3-5 years so we have something to compare everything else to.

People have done that, that's why we're here right? Because out of box stats are that bad. (Roeghlisberger was a third stringer after two years, Andrew luck was gone and other weird things happened. ) I'm not sure what this fix does in regarded t future. I haven't checked uet

Why? We know out of the box settings are broke. The madden team themselves have admitted that. I don't think we need to do anything with out of the box settings anymore.

Re: How to fix QB Sim Stat Bug (Workaround)

Here are the starting QBs and rankings of those players at the start of the 2017 NFL Season:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing

Some interesting things I saw getting to this point:
* After the first season Cam Newton moved to the Jets
* In what looks to be a continuing pattern, Eli Manning dropped all the way down to a 70 overall
* Only three Qbs were over 4000 yards, Rodgers, P. Manning, and EJ Manuel
* After the second season Andrew Luck signed with the Bucs
* Peyton Manning retired
* After 2016 season, 6 Qbs had over 4000 yards led by Christian Ponder
* Another thing I have noticed is several teams do not address back up QB position until you get to the preseason. A few teams go in with 1 QB, and I have seen a couple where QB2 is a low 60s overall but they go on to upgrade the spot.

This is what I've been concerned about...that the sim engine is only one of the factors that is contributing to the wack roster moves / progression / regression, etc.

UGH

Clarification, the Sim Stats are much, much better with this fix. So, I don't think this fix is junk. If you are looking for better stats than this fix will work.

I honestly think it has something to do with the Game Prep. Teams that are pretty good with youngish Qbs, Bengals, Falcons, Colts, etc. I believe spend their Game Prep on building confidence and not on progressing their young QBs. So, a few years down the those QBs haven't gotten much better. It's even worse with teams that have aging QBs like Giants, Cowboys, Steelers. We may be dealing with something more than what we can truly fix but I think we expected that from the start.

Yup, quality workaround...

Will be VERY interesting to see what can be done regarding the rest o' this mess...

Thanks y'all!

Anyone actually try to PLAY a game with this? I'm stuck on LOADING DATA for the past 3 minutes trying to play the first game of the season with my team.

Do your game prep yourself if you want and then when you are done set it to delegate. Its worked for me every time.

Press home button and exit game the start over, or with playstation restart( I think). This is a known problem. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon

Yeah that's what I ended up doing to get it to work.

I'm done my own game prep for my and then clicked delegate so the checkbox gets checked, but it still didn't work and I had loading screen even after exiting and restarting the game 10+ times.

I had to sim the first preseason game, advance that week, save it, and then I was able to play the 2nd preseason game.

If you download the roster, you have like twenty mins of work and then your cfm will be good to go. This is a pretty clean fix

Why does it have to be owners? Cant you change schemes and books as coaches? Based on lopey986's test with playbooks i wanted to try lowering the run/pass tendencies but it cant be done as owners as far as i know.

Would be nice if we could have an owner and coach EA.

Re: How to fix QB Sim Stat Bug (Workaround)

One problem with this... if we doing the 31 other teams on auto pilot wouldn't CPU teams never trade? Nor trade in the draft?

Could we do the 31 other teams as a coach on auto pilot instead of an owner? Would that help?
