Lol. Oh, I️ agree. I️ was mostly being sarcastic. I️ just said that cause whenever they make things work correctly/realistically, the comp crowd complains and ea nerfs it. Lol. I️ don’t want this nerfed, either. Watching Wilson actually play like Wilson was awesome. And, legit, I️ was changing my D ALL GAME. Qb spy when I️ thought that was best. Calling qb contain from preplay controls. Worrying about blitzing and having him run right through it. Changing the coaching assignments based on whether I️ was up or down or close in the game. It felt like a real game. So, yeah, I️ don’t want it nerfed, either, and am curious to play some more and see what average QBs look like. Hopefully, they scramble a few times per game as well.

This should help lower sacks as well. The first 2 seasons in my CFM, I️ broke single season sack record 3-4 times with 3-4 players. Lol. Beasley had 37 sacks, I️ believe. I️ think I️ had 3-4 players with 20 sack seasons. If the QBs scramble a little more, that should take away a few sacks.

This...patch...is...AMAZING!! Point blank period! Im out, having too good of a time playing right now! By the way, Tom Brady hasn't scrambled 1 time against me but the way he is stepping up in the pocket to avoid pressure AND throwing the ball away when necessary...JUST BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH!! Im shocked EA!!!

Fortunately for us this is something the competitive crowd can't really complain about and ruin it for us since you would only see it when playing vs the cpu

I just saw Ryan Tannehill scramble out of the pocket, throw across his body into double coverage, and watched Stephon Gillmore ruin our playoff chances with a game ending interception.

Once I realized it was only Madden 18, I stopped crying.

One thing that I'm seeing is that if you're playing against a Pocket Passer who has Ideal Sense Pressure and Forces Passes on Conservative, he will make really good decisions with his throws and be very accurate as you would expect, but will take more sacks then others settings because he will hold on to the ball and not force things.

I wouldn't use that conservative setting unless the CPU team has a great passing blocking OL, the QBs Awareness is over 90, or you have a playbook assigned to that team that has a lot of check down routes.

Besides the QB stuff, I feel like tackling/breaking tackles is much better now in that forward momentum is respected more, i.e., unless the defender has a straight on clean shot with momentum on a ball carrier, the ball carrier is much more likely to get an extra yard or two instead of just getting automatically smashed to the ground right on contact.

I also feel like defenders in man coverage take better routes to make a play on the ball now when they're in good position.

I also like how wide open drops play out now. There is a fluidity to the animation sequences that doesn't scream "bad dice roll" in the way that drops have in the past.
