Last year there were 24 WR's with over 1000 yards, 5 of them had over 100 receptions. Most of the stats aren't that bad compared to the real NFL the problem mainly exists with QB's yards/TD's/Int's.

I think Foles only started 11 games last year, just for the record

I'm a Redskin fan so every year I have to see him twice and he's always been a Madden hero.

Really, the only thing that really bothers me are the TD and INT numbers. Yards were okay, though a little low, but having a QB like Manning throw sub 20 TD's with over 4k yards? That's insane.

Sacks seemed kinda inflated too.

I think this is the type of stuff that really drives me insane when it comes to this game. All the great new things about the game, but legacy issues that still need to be fixed. I can tell you that I may have a meltdown if the Auto Subs don't work, for what, the 5th year in a row? Feel free to send recommendations for a therapist on 8/27 if they don't work?

Great job on all the improvements, but seriously, the sim engine STILL not working properly??? Do they not know how to fix it? Is it tied the overblown ratings system of the "czar pay and no attention to the man behind the curtain" Donnie Moore?

Unacceptable.

The QB touchdown stats are horrible. Some seem balanced, but Peyton Manning only throwing 13 touchdowns? Unacceptable.

This sums up how I feel. The fact that their sim engine is chronically skewed from one year to the next is baffling.

This year it's low QB TD's, higher INTS. This is something that was present last year.

To think of all the work they put into CFM, Uniforms, theyre touting improvements to CPU AI, new tackling mechanics, etc etc... but the sim engine always has outliers. I don't get it. Why is it never fixed?

It's just like how the wind arrow was backwards for 3 years. Sure, it appears they finally fixed it this year, which is nice. But like... What the heck?? It's just a wind arrow graphic...why did it take 3 years to fix?

It's the Same with the sim engine. If it's chronically this bad it needs higher a priority attention.

I don't get this. Why aren't they just simmed for each game? It doesn't bother me that certain players numbers are because that can happen. Nagging injuries to a qb, lack of run game, bad defense forcing a qb to play from behind can all cause passing numbers to drop from one year to the next. So I'm not one to say manning' s numbers are off or Stafford threw too many picks, etc.

I'd personally would just like the numbers to reflect my game settings. If my games are set to 6 min quarters, that would result in a different number of plays per game than if I used 8 minute quarters. If the SIM stats would adjust accordingly Id be ok with that. That way, all you have to do is change quarter length until you get numbers you like or reflect what you get in your played games.

I used a roster with edited AWR for all offensive players and it helped. It was a pain to do all the editing and once you got deeper into the CFM it reverted back.
