Seeing same things over all 4 games I’ve played so far. Just gave up 500 passing yards to Dolphins this morning.

Both my (till the 3rd qtr games) were the same. Against a weak 49ers team. I think Hoyer was 11/11 at one point.

No matter what I did 15 was 10-12 sacks a game with like 75% of them being sacks just because the CPU wouldn't get rid of the ball. It was a flat out game killer to me that year.

Well, I'll need to agree to disagree with you, again.

The first example, I'm talking about starting a season and playing at least 10 games or so. There will be injuries to deal with, XP up or down, and different variances within a season vs some random play now games.

Once I lowered IG to 5, the sacks were less prevalent on my end.

A comment from my sliders in Madden 15:

This was my first game playing with the IG slider set to 5 and boy did it make the CPU get rid of throws and some inaccurate I might add.

At the end of the day, each of us has different experiences with the game.

I was more concerned with RoboQB back then vs the sack issue.

Any risk or adverse effect lowering cpu qb accuracy to 45 or 40?

Down to 35 and still not seeing a big difference.

I want to say that we’ll just wait and see what next patch or next years game brings but I feel like I’m saying that every year since the early days of consule gaming.

Its just crazy how different the game plays for different people. Yes its true about injures and also confidence makes a difference to but what I mean is if I play like the first game of a season with the same sliders compared to playing the same game with same settings but in franchise mode I don't see a difference yet there are people that will tell you it is 100% different.

Funny thing is in the past I never really had a issue with RoboQB but this year I am ever game CPU is like 80% but even then I think it is more the defense being broken then any thing has guys are just getting open to much. So its not even a CPU QB not missing passes that is a problem just how open WR are getting. I did have a little to high completion % in madden 15 but it was only because CPU would take to many sacks and some of those sacks where on plays where CPU should have just passed the ball out of bounds and had they done that then CPU % would be a little bit lower has that would increase both attempts and incompletions by a few each game.

I get what you are saying Smallville, but it's just my preference to get the same vibe testing out in CFM because that is where I will be spending all of my time.

There isn't a gold standard, just a personal preference and based on many of the slider gurus thoughts and reasonings.

Exactly! I think testing in franchise mode makes sense if playing in franchise mode. If you want to play 'Play Now' games, test in 'Play Now'. If you want to play your games in 'Practice Mode', test in 'Practice mode'.

A good scientific approach means eliminating variables. That is all this really is....

Yeah its just there are so many thoughts and theory's about what something does or doesn't do in madden that its nuts. I think a lot of it is just that madden is using such a old code to run its game that a lot of things can get messed up with odd things.
