Should i NOT be using control passing? I'd be doing absolutely miserable with sam bradford without it.... out routes would be impossible and I'd be taking sacks all day. I only complete around 65% of my passes using it.
I use total control passing. I have the accuracy set were you still can use. I love that feature. I think you can use all the features with this set and get good results.
Wow. . .give me a diploma as I've been getting schooled! No, really, very impressive sliders. I play as Cleveland and am NOT using total control passing (just am selecting receiver and throwing) and NOT user catching nor switching defenders (though, on a critical 3rd down, I might use the commit feature)...and having fantastic games (except not intercepting cpu and I don't fumble as I think I'm "holding the ball" as a matter of habit). Nonetheless, I'm quite impressed with the results and noticed something:
Colt McCoy through 4 games in M13 (unfortunately, didn't notice you had 15 minutes...have been playing on 13 minutes)
Att per game: 35.5 55.5 % Completion 5.2 Per Attempt Average 184.8 Yards per Game Sacked 9 Times
Colt McCoy Average in 2012 (y'know, the real NFL)
Att per game: 35.6 57.2% Completion 5.9 Per Attempt Average 210.2 Yards Per Game Sacked 32 Times
That's pretty awesome! I love when yards per pass are accurate in a video game.

I'm going to beef up the AI running game a little bit, probably bring my block shedding down 5 and see how that goes. Also, the AI pass defense needs some help so I'm going to move the pass rush up because I wasn't getting pressured too many times, let's be honest the Packers don't have the best line... I'm also going to mess with the fatigue sliders/auto subs to get a better player rotation going.
O and my Injury slider is that high because I like to deal with injuries, like real teams in the NFL, here is my injury report through two games:
D. Bishop Dislocated Ankle 5 weeks (happened against San Fran)
T. Williams Broken Jaw 2 weeks (happened against Chicago)
If injuries start getting crazy I'll turn this down but for now I'm pretty content with this setting.
I've been using these the last few days and really like them! Against my better judgement I decided to do some testing with the user Pass reaction slider at 50 and at 90.
Bills vs Pats (CPU) - Play Now
I just wanted to see if the playcalling was any different.
At 50, the Pats had 30 runs and 30 passes and won by 40 points.
At 90, the Pats had 33 runs and 24 passes and won by 3 points.
Both games it felt like the CPU ran the ball a ton. I didnt really notice a difference between the two settings.
Tried your all time roster today. Most of the stuff looks good. Just one problem. Some of the players are headless and have white arms. Is there any way to fix this?
I just finished my first game with your sliders, and I did run in to the problem of the CPU running the ball way to much (23 Passes : 41 runs). This was in a game that was tied for much of 4th Q (I kicked FG to go up 23-20 with 3:02 left). Despite that FG the saints got the ball with less than 3 minutes left and down by 3 and they run on first and second down . I wont be changing the PRC slider yet, but I will give an update after a couple more games.
I Play with 100% gameflow and no in game packages or subs. Also play with highest AWR rating among MLB/S and never switch on DEF (D.Johnson in my case)
Also I will say this was with the RB sub in/out slider at 98/97 . I think I'm gonna change it to 99/98 and see how that feels. I don't know if its affected by the fatigue at 60, but its always 4-6 plays when you RB comes out before he comes back in. Seems like an awful long time for just one point of recovery.
I'm having too many high scoring games I'm through three gms i played tonight and gm 1 i beat the colts 44-38 threw for 447 yards rushed for 146. gm two i played Green Bay. got beat in OT 46-40 they scored on the first poss of the gm threw for 247 and rushed for 153. gm 3 killing the rams. 44-3 cutler is already over 1500 yards passing and micheal bush is almost at 500 yards rushing through three gms.
