CPU Quarterback Play (Behavior Under Pressure, Interceptions) Thread

Re: New CPU Overpowered Interceptions Thread

`

The point really is that you have too many interceptions in your season for it to be considered realistic which is how most of us want to play in our franchise. If you use a team with an x-factor in the secondary it would be even worse. It doesn’t matter if you see 3 ints some games and 1 or 2 in others. It’s still too many interceptions.

It's not though.

The leading team in the NFL usually has around 20 some Ints.

Dallas had 26 last year.

In over HALF of my games (8 out of 15 now) I have had 1 or fewer interceptions.

And most of those games were close games. I'm really only seeing the CPU QBs take chances and throwing into coverage when they HAVE to because of time/Score.

https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/interceptions-thrown-per-game

Highest INTs thrown per game is 1.2 while the lowest is 0.4

https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/average-number-of-interceptions-per-game-in-the-2021-nfl-season

Cowboys have the highest Interception made per game with 1.53 and the lowest was 0.35 Interception made per game by the Las Vegas Raiders.

Seems like you’re the only one experiencing this as a none issue while everyone else is. We all must have gotten the bad batch besides you. Lucky!

Dallas did have 26 int’s last year, but you’re playing with the lions with no stars in the secondary. If you use a different team with an x-factor corner and he gets in the zone the cpu will keep throwing his way especially when behind.

I’m seeing the cpu throw interceptions on back to back to back drives sometimes their first 3 drives of the game. I want my turnovers to feel earned and not know I’m going to get 20+ ints every season no matter the team, along with leading the league in pick 6’s.

It would be the same thing in mlb the show if I had 3 guys hit 40 home runs in one season. It’s possible. It’s been done before, but the tigers aren’t doing that in 2022.

I'm at 1.33 Interceptions made per game. So I'm still under the Cowboys.

Most of my interceptions have come from jumping routes, or making picks in one on one coverage.

I have seen very few throws made by CPU QBs directly into coverage when under pressure. Most of the time they throw the ball away, or an un-catchable pass.

IDK why I'm not seeing what everyone else seems to be seeing. I'm literally playing on All Madden default, 12 minute quarters accel clock at 20.

The ONLY sliders I have adjusted are penalty sliders (everything at 65 except for roughing the passer and illegal block in the back)

and Speed threshhold at 95


And again, the point people don't seem to be getting, going back to the title of this thread.....

I'm NOT seeing the "bad" CPU QB play when underpressure. I don't know why, to be honest. I'm just not.

Like I’ve been saying.. You’re using the lions. They don’t have any good players in the secondary and you’re getting 20+ ints in a season. That’s too many.

That’s like you taking the tigers in mlb the show and hitting 250 home runs in a season, but you say hitting is fine because the yankees hit 255.

I see the cpu going 22/25 with their only 3 incompletions being ints in the 3rd quarter. I don’t want to play a game where I get a rookie to go for 19 sacks and my team get 20 ints with a couple games left. You’re just refusing to see the problem.

No, I'm not "refusing to see the problem"

The problem is CPU Quarterback play/decision making while under pressure.

I'm literally NOT seeing that poor play/decision making when they are under pressure.

Yes, I'm getting more pressure on the QB than the Lions normally would. That's not the issue. If anything, that should INCREASE the amount of poor CPU QB play/decision making. But I'm not seeing it.

Yes, I'm getting more interceptions than the Lions probably should. But it is spread out. Most of them come from usering players, and jumping routes. Not from stupid throws by the CPU QB's

What people are saying the issue is, poor CPU QB play/decision making when under pressure, I simply am not seeing. I'm seeing the CPU throw the ball away. I'm seeing the CPU take sacks instead of throwing up a jump ball. I'm rarely seeing them throw into coverage, unless they HAVE to, because they are down late in games.

I don't know why, but I'm just not seeing that.

Re: CPU Quarterback Play (Behavior Under Pressure, Interceptions) Thread

Well Joe Burrow just ripped me to shreds on default All Pro, so it is certainly possible for CPU quarterbacks to play well lol.

I imagine the Fearless ability negating all pass pressure was helping him out a lot.

I'm seeing a lot of QBs have pretty good games against me on All Madden.

in 9 of 16 games, the CPU has thrown 1 or 0 interceptions against me.

For whatever reason, I'm just not seeing the poor CPU QB play under pressure that everyone else seems to be seeing.

I really wish I knew why. I'm seeing them throw the ball away, or take a sack, or try to get out of the pocket, which often results in sacks because I run contain on almost every down.

Re: CPU Quarterback Play (Behavior Under Pressure, Interceptions) Thread

Wish I had that golden copy. Lol. Just messing with ya.

Everyone’s experiences will always be different, but on All Madden, I’ll say, the CPU QB play isn’t awful, actually pretty tough. The problem is interceptions in general are just way too high and the slider is broken.

I don't for a second doubt that the slider itself is broken. Or at least has minimal effect.

I wish I could pinpoint exactly whay I'm not seeing what everyone else is.

All I can say is I have seen the CPU throw the ball away, or take a sack, or try to escape, more often than I have seen them throw the ball into coverage. With the exception of when the CPU is down late in the 4th, and they HAVE to try to force a play.

Most of my interceptions have come on good defensive plays, rather than poor decisions/throws by the CPU.

Re: CPU Quarterback Play (Behavior Under Pressure, Interceptions) Thread

My 4th game FM had 3 CPU Int's with Tyrod Taylor at QB

Jaire Alexander picked him off all 3 times under pressure.

Jaire is becoming Revis Island, no one throws to him and

therefore, he won't have many chances for a pick.

There is a issue with Int's, but vs good QB's, the CPU QB usually

throws the ball away.

The problem is interceptions in general being too high. Not just when the cpu is under pressure. There is a comma in the thread title.

Once again, you’re using Detroit and are among the league leaders in interceptions. You don’t think it’s a big deal because the picks are spread out for you. That’s great, but people who are using better teams are having a worse experience.

I don’t have to user Jalen Ramsey for him to get multiple picks every game. I only control the defensive line. The cpu might go 24/27 for 300 yards 2 td’s and 3 picks against me by the end of the third quarter. Then by the end of the fourth quarter I’ll finally see the cpu miss some passes that aren’t interceptions.

The cpu isn’t completely incompetent when under pressure, but that’s not how a realistic game under sim gameplay is supposed to go.

Re: CPU Quarterback Play (Behavior Under Pressure, Interceptions) Thread

At this point, I think it's fair to say it's a little from column A, a little from column B, and a little from column C.


A - The sliders are not impacting the game enough.
B - CPU QB are throwing in ways they should not.
C - The D players are a little overpowered on their ability to get to the ball and pick it off.


On D, I've got to the stage that I'm purposefully getting out of the way of every INT I can because some will happen so quickly, I have no say in it.


On O, I've just about gotten to the stage where I can almost prevent throwing picks, and when I let go of a ball, I can tell if it is picked within a millisecond. Ir's almost always because I threw a bullet pass when I need to throw a touch pass. But that said, I still throw INT because the DB does something he should not be capable of.

The team I use doesn't have any impact on the CPU QB's behavior, or throws, especially under pressure.

I'm not getting an unrealistic number of interceptions. In most games, I'm getting 1 or none.

I'm also not seeing the CPU go 20-23 with 3 interceptions by the 3rd quarter.

I'm seeing the CPU miss passes. I'm seeing the CPU take sacks rather than throw the ball up for grabs. And I'm seeing the CPU throw the ball away. In the first half.

Last game, Fields barely completed 50 percent of his passes (13-25) and threw NO interceptions.

Game before that, Baker Mayfield misfired on 15 passes. Threw the ball 47 times. And had NO interceptions.

Despite what you say, for whatever reason, I'm NOT seeing the problem. I can't pinpoint why, but I'm not.

That’s good for you… but 99% of the forum says otherwise so why are you claiming there’s no problem. Enjoy the game

I don’t know man. There’s no way Fields goes 13/25 with no ints against me on all pro/all Madden with the game I’m playing.

I want to enjoy this game, but I don’t want to take a bad team and be the league leader in ints and defensive touchdowns. I search on here, on Reddit and on Twitter and people are having the same issues.

Glad the game works for you, happy gaming.
