I addition, I've gotten the sliders to minimize the defensive pass coverage deficiencies that came with this game upon initial release. My concern is that this patch drops in a couple of weeks, which may or may not fix a few issues, but creates more problems. Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but this has happened repeatedly in the past. With these "user patches" that we've created here, the game doesn't play too bad. Worse case scenario: EA dev's fix the broken parts of the game that they sold to us, but in turn break something else. Thus, we're now into that vicious cycle of waiting for the next patch. Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

This may sound like a noob question.How do we disconnect? I have a wireless internet?

Go into settings in the home screen of your PS4 or Xbox, prior to loading M18. From there you should see network settings so on and so forth.

What sliders do you use for gameplay raider ren? Also what does your stats look like particularly pass yards. Thanks.

What about those kids or hard working people who don't have access to internet so they can't get these updates? I think it's bologna!

Just observation here, no data, more or less getting a feel so I can form a hypothesis.

Reaction time slider works correctly for play action and the running game. What it does in coverage is unclear. I have some evidence it's reversed expressly in regard to closing on a ball in the air, but the effect is subtle. That's where I'm starting. I'll test that over four games (2 at 90, 2 at 10... I've always felt weird **** starts happening at the extremes beyond these points, like they have a linear affect until the final ten then the curve hard) and see if I can prove myself wrong.

Nice work. Keep me posted about your observations.

Yeah what slider settings are your reaction time and coverage?

I use 100 reaction time and 75 coverage for both

Is there a "keep scores close" option in this year's game?
