Re: Is the Defense Broken??
I agree mostly with the first post. It is broken, But not unplayable. Especially if you are playing POTM or playing CPU vs CPU. This is the worst defense I have ever seen produced by EA. The receivers are wide open, Especially on deep passes, There is no coverage over the middle. I am 15 games into my franchise as the Browns. I have not seen one bat down or swat. Defenders are always 5 yds or more off the receivers. It is simply CATCH and Tackle. I love the running game but way to many long runs. It is definitely not enjoyable. Sliders seem to do nothing, CB and Safeties simply don't cover receivers, I have seen no floating passes, Every pass is like it's been shot out of a cannon even with the worse QB's in the league.
I have tried every slider setting there is, Set coverage and reaction to 0 to 99. makes no difference. I have tried Sim, Comp. make no different difference. playing on All-Pro to all Madden. M17 had superior defense compared to this.
Maybe for you Thumb jocks, the game plays different or you call the same defense over and over, But for the CPU, the defense sucks. In M17, 16, defenders ran side by side on streaks, in 18 they are 3 to 10 yds behind.
A few of you don't seem to mind it, But there are many many post even on U-tube about how bad it is. It needs to be addressed. I guess a lot of you like 38 to 27 scores game after game. How many times have you seen the QB throw the ball away.. Not many. it either SAC, or complete to a wide open receiver. It is frustrating knowing every-time a QB needs long yardage, he usually gets it.
Plus Screen passes seem to be broken and finally if you don't think the defense is broke. Check the stats for QB yds.. In 16 and 17 the ave completion per game by QB was around 8 to 12 yds a game.. In my test franchises the ave completion for QB is 16 to 23 yds per game and receivers are averaging far more YAC than they did in 16 or 17.
In my opinion, The defense may not be broke, But certainty needs a major adjustment or the sliders need to be made far more effective. As it is now, SIM seems more like Arcade. Big play after big play..Especially on 3rd and long. nearly every QB throws over the middle to a wide open receiver for 20 yd's or better.. Play after play you here the announcers say he was WIDE OPEN. Once again, I am only talking for Coach mode, CPU vs CPU, or Play of the moment. I even set the coach adjustments to swat ball, but no defender has been close enough to swat anything but air. Very very frustrated.. I know it is a small sample, but you don't have to drive a car a thousand miles to know you have a flat tire or something is wrong with the engine.
