Was waiting patiently for the "stuck in the mud" fix!

Unfortunately, I am not at all sure that the stuck in the mud issue is fixed. I’ve played 1/2 of football since the update and LeSean McCoy has 11 carries for 21 yards against me. With me manually changing the covers ball trait, teams were running much better against me.

So call your own plays, lol, easy fix that I do already

Sim mode is fake news! Also, weren't we promised game type specific tuners? Where the heck are the Sim mode tuners? Or any tuner?

I could fix the mud runner, I can't fix the pancake issue. It ruins games. If you are playing CPU vs. CPU or PTM. There are times when you don't have a choice. It happens to both teams. Human and CPU. I have seen games completely changed because of this idiotic so called designed play, A great game ruined because your line falls down and the CPU runs for 80 yd TD. And of course it's going to happen when the CPU team is losing because your team is committing to the pass.

Why would any game developer design a play to make your entire line fall over backwards. I can just see a professional FB team telling it's players.. Hey everyone fall down if you see they are gonna run this play. How ignorant. There is no justifiable excuse for this.

If they designed it, They can just as easily un-design it. Or eliminate it period..

So the solution is.. Call your own plays.. Cool. I guess those of us that play PTM or CPU vs CPU shouldn't have the game. Wonder why they made that mode then. Guess we don't deserve a game that play correctly..

It definitely does. I've called every play I've ran since I bought the game.

It seems tied to 2 and 3 TE formations. It also seems to crop up more at the end of games.

If they wanted to do something like that, they should have made it where if you pass commit on a run your blockers can't get off the blocks quick at all. Instead of making your whole line get pancaked.

Game mode: All Pro or All Madden?
Play the same game a few times and see, then a few more times with edits to traits, see what comes out of it.

I'm changing certain traits and have been since M17.
EX. Changing HBs TEs, and FBs to Makes Sideline catches: yes. Seems to help keep them from catching and running straight Out.
Changing low rated QBs to Throws tight spiral: No
Allows more organic tips and gives the D tighter coverage, also leads to more ints, so I've dropped user/cpu int: 33.
There's a thread already made for Sliders with Traits adjusted, it's the beginning of getting a better Sim experience, imo.

I'm as typically exited as usual when a patch drops, but scared s s*** to download it. Im gun-shy
