Fast players getting caught/not breaking away

[Sumodeads]

Hey guys, I haven’t played Madden in a few years after probably playing since the game first came out. So I just decided to ask for it from my Secret Santa and I’ve been playing for a week. It’s def challenging getting back into it. I’m playing offline CFM style and I’ve experimented with a few different slider adjustments.

One of my biggest pet peeves so far is guys catching the ball in stride or running backs hitting a big hole and just being caught with ease. I’m hitting the turbo button and nobody can seem to break away. I know it shouldn’t happen every play, but when I catch a ball perfectly in stride with a few steps over the defense with Julio Jones it should be a TD 99% of the time and it seems like I’m caught about 90% of the time instead.

Is there any kind of fix for this? I’ve been trying to read about the speed threshold, but it seems as long as it’s 50 or lower it shouldn’t change anything. Help please because this makes the game a lot ****tier than it should be.

I use speed threshold at 75 and have no issues being caught from behind, especially if JJ Nelson or my drafted WR with 96 speed catch it in stride.

Yes but you shouldn't need a player with 96 speed to not get caught. I've had opposing players take it to the house that aren't even a 90.

Threshold is at 50 , fatique is at 50. Which way do you go to make fatique less frequent? Up or down?

Those were just examples of players that never get caught, I can run an out pattern and if there is no safety help, I'm gone.. I've run TD's with lesser speed players as well. The CPU has had TD's with TE's in the 80's as well.

I think it's perfect on 75 in relation to what I see in the real NFL. Angles are huge on the outcome as well.

OOTB, this issue was very frustrating, as a perfectly led wide receiver would often get suction-tackled from behind. However, since all tuners and patches have installed to my system, I am no longer seeing this at all. I have my speed threshold at 50. Might be a good idea to make sure you have all updates necessary. Sorry can't give you any other explanation.

I play with the speed threshold at the default value on all madden and have not problem breaking away if I find open space. That's after the recent patches, before that there was an issue where your player would always gas out and get caught form behind.
