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

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

Yeah, there is, unfortunately.

For example, same slider settings, same playcalling, same AP difficulty, etc.

Input from CFM menu, sack QB 6 times, only give up ~60 rushing yds
Input from main menu then imported, sack the QB 0 times, gave up ~300 rushing yards.

I haven't tired this on this years game but I have heard people saying this for like 4 years and I have alrease had the same game play no matter if it is in franchise mode or outside I think that is just BS.

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

Some one was saying that EA doesn't think sacks are an issue because they only test the game on 5 minute quarters or something. What EA doesn't know that QB's don't hold on to the ball for 10 seconds and still don't throw the ball? Any one that ever has watched football can tell you that QB don't hang on to the ball for that long with out passes it. EA knows they just don't know how to fix it or don't care because they are the only football game around so people are going to buy the game no matter what.

Yes,the CPU logic should be coded to throw a ball away, tuck and run or force a throw after 5 seconds. In the NFL you see QB's throw balls away even when nobody has hands on them yet. You even see it when that clock just tells them somebody has to be on their way in for a sack even if nobody is.

The fact that EA says they cant fix this problem says to me that so much is screwed up under the hood.

Yeah that to how often do you see QB's in madden throw the ball away when nobody is around them like never lol. If QB's played in real life like how they play in this game they would get hit way more and they would all end up in the ER. I don't think a single QB would play all 16 games if they took extra hits by holding on to the ball to long like they do in this game. Man it sucks because out side of the sack issue this is the best madden has played in a long long time but getting 8-9 sacks is just to much of a killer. It ends drive that could be FG in punts and drives that could be touchdowns in FG. Also by taking extra sacks you see fumbles by the QB that should never happened. At this point I think I would pay $120 if EA could just fix this penurteys and owner mode money issue. Fix those 3 things and this game is like a 9 out of 10.

I think I smell a future revenue stream for EA! This may be the only way to get the game fixed.

EA could offer a patch for 10$ that actually makes their game play. Call it the EA sim package or the EA playability upgrade pack. Then they would give it the attention it deserves.

What do you say EA?

lol don't give them any ideas but really this game is really really good out side of those 3 things the problem is those 3 things are really big issues. It would be like playing a NBA game with no turnovers and no fouls at all and with a issue that makes franchise mode unplayable. I don't what to have to play coach I like being able to set ticket prices and food ect but that mode is truly broken. Or it would be like an MLB game where the CPU pulls pitchers out way to late or way to earliy and where the CPU trys to steal bases ever time they are on base. I have not been able to enjoy a madden game for more then like 2 months sences GameCube and if they where to fix this sack crap I could enjoy it but I am just about ready to trade the game in or stop playing it or something because of the sacks.

I don't mean to insult anyone's sliders sets, but there is not a single slider set in all of OS (or the known universe) to stop the cpu from taking a sack on a screen play. NONE. and it happens multiple times a game....

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

Played just one half vs. Rodgers and the Packers, 7 sacks. 3 on the stick 'n nod play alone. Why would they call the same play so many times in one half. My mlb has decent man cov. so the te was not getting free on the double move. Apparently if Rodgers' first read doesn't get open, he just plays it safe and takes the sack I guess. Just terrible. I wish I loved basketball like I do football. Oh well, 3 weeks until Far Cry 4.
