Happy and Sad

Hi straight away I mostly love this game to be fair so let's start there.

I have been playing Owner mode watching 2 qtrs and fast sim 2 qtrs and get very good results on the whole. I am leading 11 teams so have watched a lot of CPU vs CPU as I am upto week 6 of season 2.

Ok the but.... I am still hating this 2 or 3 times a game the QB drops back and back and back and gets sacked 10 to 15 yes back just looks real bad.

Stats on even the best lineman are awful even the best seem to give up at least 1 sack a game.

The fact that my draft pick from last year has the same undisciplined penalty traite for his entire career unless I change it seems a bit lazy.

Why do I have to change my special team players every season I dont want my starters on special teams this is where the 2nd string players get some reps this again seems a bit lazy as it's been like this for years.

Also the last 3 minutes when team winning and losing makes no sense when winning to many pass attempts when losing to many 5 10 yd passes into middle of pitch never to the side lines, then just bomb down the middle even if your 80 yards away no end of game logic at all, this has always been an issue tho.

Last but not least I have to play offline as I have ps4 and cannot play a game without an error when game is over due to some reason no one has explained!

All the above are starting to grind about now the novelty of this beautiful game to watch CPU vs CPU wise.

EA please listen to the little man who loves his franchise mode.

All this is truly falling on deaf ears.

They had CPU QB AI playing as good as ever in the history of this series.

Ruined it via update after update after update.

And why am I not surprised......so frustrating. Yet so typical of this series and the trend it has had for almost a decade.

Yes very frustrating not having anyone respond to these issues.

I decided to give it a go with the franchise patch and it's the same trash. This game needs a complete overhaul. Which will never happen..
I'm an Eagles fan, decide to start a franchise with this week's game. Go to the roster to organize my dephchart. No Ward on the Eagles. I was under the assumption that the rosters are up to date. Okay.
Play a game against Seattle. I'm player controlling as Carson Wentz. I know the Eagles are bad this year, but the wide receiver catch attribute means nothing. I seriously just think that EA says "Ahh..just put a bunch of numbers under a random attribute. It doesn't matter. The games all about animation."
The amount of drops in this is sickening. I guy catches it in stride, turns, get hits, drop. Goes up to grab it, contact...drop. A RB or TE...open in the flat. Closest linebacker or db is five yards away. Throw the ball. MAGNET PICK!! I threw 8 picks. 8!!! 2 were legit, the other 6 are because of drop reflections, and the MAGNET animation. I'm so done with this game. Every year I try to give it a chance. I've been playing Madden since 1991. Sega Genesis to the PS4.
I just want a real life football sim. We all do. It's terrible.

Oh,and now I'm loading into a game, I decided to sim practice, because it's tedious. My offensive boost for the game. Field Goals. It came up as field goals. I just turned the game off and deleted it. I can't anymore.

Weird final straw. You know you can change that even if you sim it, right?

Oh how can I forget the awful punt and kick returns on CPU vs CPU how many times is my return man going to catch it 2 yes from there players without calling fair catch and get smashed straight away. 1 in 10 to 15 games will a return man beat the first tackler.
