Fitzgerald: 5/9, 46yds -OAK passing- D. Carr: 15/31, 139yds, 1td, 1int -HOU rushing- A. Foster: 17att, 95yds, 5.5avg, 1td -OAK rushing- G. Atkinson: 20att, 54yds, 2.7avg The best thing about these is how strangely accurate these 2 games are to real life, box score. http://www.pro-football-reference.co...1409070nyj.htm http://www.pro-football-reference.co...1409140rai.htm

Those results look outstanding!!! It's exactly what I have been looking for. I especially love how the Jets struggled on the ground, but Foster was very solid. It's a very different feel than NCAA, but I think we finally may have it nailed down.

Question: how did the pocket awareness of the CPU QBs look? Anything wonky.?

They got sacked a bit. Only because the HUM CB coverage seemed really strong. Like they refused to pull the trigger.

I played 4-3 Under Zone in the first game, pure Man Cov in the second.


ALT NOTES:


It may be hard to say since the majority of the QBs I've faced so far seem to be scramblers.

JETS
-Geno looked like ****, throwing incompletions and getting sacked before he got injured.
- Vick came in, was a scrambler type. Burned me for rushing gains when nothing was open.(threw the game winning 3yd touchdown with 2 seconds to go ugh lol)

BILLS
-Fitzgerald was balanced, both decent pass and scramble. Short throws. Then, he got knocked out.
-So Mallett came in. Pure Pocket passer, scored on some deep bombs.

I guess I'm saying, wow, QB personality matters?

Then again, with my post, you see starting QBs getting knocked out. Is that a thing with this version of Madden?

Yes it does....the IG slider really helps their personalities shine.

As for sacks, this is the big issue on M15. I'm using a rather different approach with this set...if sacks start to get to be a major issue....let me know, this is still very much an alpha build.

Yes it is....exacerbated if you use aggressive tackles or hit stick on the QBS. You can optionally lower the I.jury slider to 49 or 50.

The original purpose of AP in main menu and AM in the CFM was to morph the AM bs that tends to happen (speed bursts, cbs jumping routes unrealistically, etc.). Are you not seeing this with both set to AM using version 6?

I haven't seen anything egregious yet; but I have had limited playtime on this set. I suspect I will probably back things off to AP on main menu at some stage...but I like to play with the 'pure' form first....work out any kinks...and then play around with things like this.

Ok, well I have over 20 games in under the "3" theory, with my own set of sliders (which were simply a very slightly modded set of Josh and Kings anyways).
I've loaded up 6.0, and after 2 games, I find that the QBs whip the ball out too soon under these settings (QBA 3 and 57IG) as opposed to what I was doing. However, I've been following most of Josh's progressions so I stuck it out, but upped the PBK to 8. This seems to almost be too much, I'm getting shredded, BADLY lol......its awesome. So 2 with "3", 2 with "8", and then I'm gonna play some at "6" in which I hope is the sweet spot. All other settings are spot on with Josh's 6.0 (im using 35 KRI).

Good stuff....but what I have been considering doing is leaving CPU PBK at 3...but slowly increase the RTP slider as needed. Basically, the RTP slider becomes the control point for adjusting how quickly the QB gets rid of the ball and how effective the pass rush.

I've only gotten a couple of games in with this set using the Vikings. I played NE and got to Brady twice (one coverage) and played Brees and got to him four times....but they felt like 'real' sacks. The way my schedule lays out, I don't play a crappy QB for a while, so I may start another CFM with a different team so I can see how average QBs fare.
