Hey, we replaced the sack issue with an INT issue, excellent! lol

I would just lower CPU INT to 25 probably.

I would say, out of the box, these sliders and the "Pro" level are a great challenge and play so much smother than the other levels..

How's the QB doing with QBA at 0?

Based on your Titans game, it seems CPU QBA needs to come down or OPI/DPI needs to be changed because that comp% is way too high for Zach M.

I think once we get to a good level of comfort that we have a challenging set on PRO, then it'll be time to focus on getting a good sample size and then adjusting for realistic stats.

I was hoping Manning would be hard to stop and wouldn't take dumb sacks. You up CPU passing sliders and lower user pass coverage and the best QB plays like the worst all of a sudden. Back to the drawing board. EDIT: Two things I'd love to adjust gameplay wise, just not sure how: 1) slow down user pass rush, and 2) speed up CPU pass rush. I find the CPU is under too much constant pressure, and that I have too much time in the pocket. I've maxed out CPU pass block to 100 and minimized user pass block to 0. Not sure what else can be done there. Also, twice now on pro I've had my starting RB go missing from the game. I haven't adjusted fatigue or auto-subs at all from what I had it on, and I've never ever experienced it before. First one was Le'Veon Bell after 21 carries. Went completely missing half way through 3rd quarter to never return. Second was Giovani Bernard, and only after 10 carries for him. He disappeared at halftime I believe. Neither were injured and both were still #1 on the depth chart. My backup RB was getting all the snaps while my #3 was getting subbed in for him after fatigue. The announcers would still say "Bell lined up in the backfield" even when it was Dri Archer but. Then when he carried his stats would come up as normal and they'd commentate him running the ball etc. but before the snap they'd call my starting RB's name in the huddle and on the field. Very odd.

I'll make a couple of changes to the OP

Only 6 sacks this time (and the Rams D-Line is fairly stacked - Quinn 99 OVR, Long 88 OVR, Brockers 87 OVR - plus the Vikings O-Line was without 3 starters: Kalil LT 80 OVR, Nicks LG 85 OVR, Fusco RG 86 OVR) so maybe expected given those circumstances. Though at times I did have to neutralise the player under my control to stop a potential sack. Early in the first quarter Bridgewater did shake off a couple of potential sacks.

The other good thing was the pass deflections, my defenders got hands on some of Bridgewater's passes - which kept his % down. Still few wild throws from the CPU, though that might have to be a compromise given the Pro Skill level.

The 3 picks by the Vikings were on 2 Hitch routes, and 1 Curl route. At least one of the ones on the Hitch route would have felt better as a pass deflection rather than a pick. Might try lowering the CPU INT slider to see if I can increase those being deflected rather than picked off.

Using the QBA of 23 (based on Saints7 All-Madden sliders) opened up the Rams passing game. I still missed throws, but was also able to hit some deep bombs - the Givens TD at the end of the first half was on a Hail Mary play (not completed one of those for a long time - think it was when Aaron Brooks was QB for the Saints).

Next game is against a Bengals team who are missing Dalton and Bernard, so AJ McCarron is the opposing QB.

Adjusted CPU INT to 75
Updated IG Penalty to 80 (as per OP)

So there was 8 sacks again. Didn't seem like that many when playing the game, though I think there was a couple that were back-to-back which is problematic, but I'm not sure that is going to be addressed by sliders.

Bengals relied to much on the pass, but the play of McCarron was not that 'bad' (from a slider perspective) as he missed passes both long and one time even missed an open Hemingway short on what looked like a comeback route.

They could have run the ball more, Hill wasn't exactly doing badly (his first 'rush' was on a swing pass that went for -5 yards - so he was 35 yards off the next 8 carries). As for Stacy's numbers, they were inflated by the 76 yard run late (the last 70 of which were in free air).

The adjustment to CPU INT seemed to have the desired effect. The Bengals got 3 Pass Deflections, while still getting 2 interceptions, the pick-6 was on a poor throw to a Curl route, while the second was on a streak which Hall covered well and managed to make a play on the ball which I tried to lead my receiver further downfield.

As with quite a lot of Madden 15, the gameplay gets very close to being great, but falls down to often (mainly due to the Sacks).

A few changes made to the OP sliders/penalties.

It's hard to get an idea of what to look out for with box scores being posted using already adjusted sets as opposed to using exactly what's in the OP.

GOnna make the updated changes and get back with game results ASAP.

[4thQtrStre5S]

Right now I am playing at the Lions against the Cowboys....Tony Romo is 16/16....I am 6/14 with 1 int on an over throw.....Romo has 117 pass yards and I have 91 pass yards...Romo is completing a lot of short passes.

...Thinking that Hum QB accuracy just needs to be raised a hair, maybe to 3? IF the CPU QB Accuracy is adjusted too low they just throw all short passes, i think 77 was a better rating as there were more longer pass attempts, it seems.

I'll finish the game and post the box score....
