CPU Quarterbacks taking sacks has broken this game....

Re: CPU Quarterbacks taking sacks has broken this game....

I am officially waving the white flag. The game is so close to being a great football game that I was willing to try anything to curb the sack issue, but in the end nothing helps, not All-Madden, not penalties, sliders, voodoo, black magic, Harry Potter's wand, nothing. Today was my Appomattox. After dealing with the profile reset for like the 50th time, I started playing as the Browns vs the Saints in CFM, I sacked Drew Brees 6 times in the first half and I personally didn't record a single one. Off it went, never to be played again unless something is done about it, which simply isn't happening because if it were, it would have been done.

I agree with this I tried playing yesterday and after getting the profile reset 3 out of 4 times I logged on yesterday I think my madden days of playing 15 are over for yr pretty sad as I finally just started a cfm after the newest patch.


I was 6 games into my cfm and had a league leading 40+ sacks and my last game I sacked the qb 10 times the cmp got me 5 and I wasent even trying to sack the qb.


this game started out to be pretty good but with all glitches popping up and bs reset glitch its just not fun anymore to have keep resetting everything everytime u log in.

Re: CPU Quarterbacks taking sacks has broken this game....

I'm using some sliders on All-Madden that were given to me outside of OS and definitely see a drop off in sacks for myself. I played Seattle last game and their offensive line had pass block ratings across the board of 78-67-79-79-79 yet I only managed 2 sacks as a team. Having said that, the downside is now the CPU can survey the entire field and with pin point accuracy drop dimes all over the field regardless of the accuracy slider (which is at 5 for CPU for the record). My biggest issue is the CPU doesn't throw off target enough, doesn't make enough bad reads and is so hell bent on checking down right at the snap that that's probably more the reason for the drop off in sacks then anything else. I've read a lot of people praising the game for making steps in the right direction but I just don't see it, I feel it's the same thing every year, fix one thing while creating 2 other problems then rinse and repeat every year.

Re: CPU Quarterbacks taking sacks has broken this game....

I haven't bought the game for 5 years because of the game turning from fun to frustrating to work in the matter of a month. I'm a Sim guy who cares about a realistic football experience. I enjoy the games until some game breaking problems start to rear their ugly head. It gets me so frustrated I start hating EA. I then look for help trying to fix the issues and the game turns into a job. I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to take a stand. I was maybe a little closer to purchasing this year because of owning a next gen console (xboxone) but in the end I noticed nothing changed. The sack issue being number one. It's a damn shame.

The NFL can talk all they want about having integrity as a league and caring about their fans but it's all a crock of bull. All they care about is money and can care less about what you or I think about their product. The exclusive license and EA give/make the NFL plenty of money for them to turn their cheek on us. Continue to support EA Madden Football and this is what we deserve. The courts aren't going to save us from no monopoly.

Put the CPU accuracy down to 4. Trust me.

I hear you man. This game just isn't any fun anymore. I get tons of sacks every game yet the CPU still completes 80-90% of their passes. I wish the game was more sim and less arcade. Try fixing the sliders (doing the devs job) and more issues pop up. I'm about to shelf this game and move on

He is but he is still top 5 and should make those reads all day....I assume you are kind of kidding around about him..... Does anybody know of any way to solve this issue. I know some have used certain slider sets but they have not worked for me.

Re: CPU Quarterbacks taking sacks has broken this game....

Very low CPU accuracy, 0 PB, and (if necessary) playing on All Madden seem to get a pretty good approximation of football.

That, and remember to always import sliders from outside CFM . . .

There is a difference based on where you input the sliders?

Re: CPU Quarterbacks taking sacks has broken this game....

I play n all pro and in my franchise I was getting 6 to 8 sacks a game with the CPU pass block at 80. Just for the heck of it I lowered it to 30 for my next game and I only got two sacks. Is this slider reversed?

I just found a way to get qb to throw more inaccurate passes and take less sacks without the use of sliders. What you need to do is go into the main menu settings page and press triangle to reset settings and input your preferred settings again. Sound weird but the gameplay is so much more realistic and faster paced I can hold Peyton to 60-70% on all pro default. Give it a try I been testing on play now and cfm and gameplay is great. And much different. I played using the online tuner and without the tuner I just can't decide which plays best yet. Just give it a try and you'll notice a huge change in gameplay and animations both

I'm serious man give it a try you will be surprised in how drastically different the gameplay is. I thought I was crazy too but after a week of testing like this i realized I wasnt. There is no more robo qb there's much better defense and was are actually scrambling and throwing the ball away accordingly. When I have time later I will post some stats
