question for you guys. you still have to select live playbooks before every online CFM game correct? Even if you have live playbook on in your profile?

Thanks

Anyone able to activate Lamar Jackson’s X-factor? Apparently he needs to be a receiver to make it work...

Anyone else seeing more ints, suddenly? And/or, goofy ints from balls batted in the air 20 yards downfield and then INT? Lol.

Matt Ryan is hitting old age in my CFM, so he’s regressing, but he’s still 80s for accuracy. And, what I’m seeing, actually, is more psychic DB play. Corners are running routes better than my WRs. I hadn’t seen this in madden this year, and then all of a sudden, it’s happening. It could just be the regression of Ryan, and somewhere in the game code, to make him a worse passer, the cbs cover better or something (which is lame, imo). But, man, oh man, nobody is open all of a sudden.

Anyways, just curious if anyone else is seeing this. I’ve got a replacement ready for Ryan, lol, but for sentimental reasons, I’m trying to let him win one more SB with his $30 million salary. Lol.

I experience this. I have been using all pro default for the most part, or CPU INT down to 35-40 and have been throwing a ton of picks. I bounce around between multiple franchise files and it happens all the time.


Year 1 Patriots - I threw 20 picks with Brady
Year 1 Packers - I threw 15 picks with Rodgers
Year 1 Texans (10 games) - 12 picks with Watson


I try to be pretty safe with passing because of the seemingly high INT risk. Sure, some of this is on me and making poor throws but it still seems like a high total. Anytime I am inside the 10 and try to throw a fade it is an automatic pick. Even if I try to throw a high point type pass to a tall WR.

Right on. Yeah, for me, it all started at the end of my last season in CFM. I went 15-1 and actually lost the playoff game. But, it was really strange. It started around week 13. I had thrown picks during the whole season, but I was 13-0 and was really hitting my stride in the passing game with Ridley and 2 rookies (I lost Julio to salary cap issues). But, it was because they were getting open and I was making good reads. Then, came week 14. Psychic DB just happened. Nobody was open, ever. Brian Poole got 4 ints in that game. Lol. And, that was my first loss. I had 9 TOs. It just seemed like classic madden bs. But, this time, it was like I was penalized for having a great season, so the game just said, ‘nope. Not having it. You’re not allowed to have a perfect season, and from now on, none of your WRs will be open, EVER!’ Lol.

And, seriously, my last few games of that season were tough with me throwing 3-5 picks in each game. Then, the start of the next season, I lost the opener and threw 3 picks, I believe. And, these picks are all just barely picks. That’s what’s frustrating right now. Many are 50/50 balls. Except, now it’s not 50/50, it’s 0/100. Lol.

I’m curious to start my qb prodigy who is technically better than Ryan, now. I really just want to see if that magically makes the coverage loosen up, some. It really was just like a light switch turned on for the cpu D. Nothing ever looks open and I feel like I have to force the ball in there to somebody.

I've been seeing way more INTs and also way more fumbles. I could probably count the number of non-QB fumbles I had seen in games on one hand prior to this patch, I had 3 (forced 2, gave up 1) in my most recent game. All RBs. All on big hits, no strip.


Weird tips are also out of control. Not just big bounces but plays where the ball will hang in the air on top of a pile of players on the ground and then someone comes and grabs it for a reception or INT. That's even worse than the big 20 yard bounces.


The worst part though is that I'm seeing a TON of desync disconnects as game start online. I've had 6 in the last 3 nights. They screwed something up with this patch.

I'm not seeing fumbles or INTs at an increased rate on All-Pro with default sliders. Everything seems the same on offense and defense and I've played a full season since this patch.

I think different people will discover different results because they play around with the sliders until they are playing the way they want them to play until a title update comes out and repeat the process again.
