Just had an absolute belter with the Steelers, I blew it with a dumb read intercept and a personal greed caused safety.

Steelers came back to beat from behind when I started to go into coast mode. Possibly the best game of madden I have played, competitve with the computer wise. I enjoyed my bump in kicking and accuracy, as well as pass block and run block needs upping, as Mendy was stuffed, but I do have a team that is strategized around stopping the run. Zone defense kills my squad.
Chris Johnson was effectively contained, Harrison off the edge destroyed me basically, even on gut runs, Harrison was in my face.
The two intercepts are on me, first throw was me bombing it over the middle to Wright, thinking the Steeler in the middle was an official, I was wrong. Second pick was a long haul on the last play of the game, bounced off Britts hands, then off a players back then into the hands of Troy, unlucky, but still a great game, just need to bump up CPU run block and I think my settings will be perfect.
I think I'm going to lower the CPU interceptions. LB's and DL guys never drop anything. I had 7 passes hit my CB's in the hands in this last game and all 7 dropped. Jared Allen made a 1 handed diving interception, and EJ Henderson had 2 picks on touch passes where he dove for the WR (who was about 8 yards in front of him) and caught the ball both times.
I am playing the super bowl, and I just restarted. I changed HUM INT to 35, lowered CPU INT to 35, and increased HUM catching to 55.
Reason: 1st half I'm down 20-10, and had 13 freakin dropped passes. I had 5 dropped interceptions and the CPU Defenders catch every damned pass they get their hands on. If Matt Schaub makes a bonehead read, then he should pay the same price that I do.

I'm thinking of going in a similar direct with CPU int's. Looking forward to your Super Bowl game results
From what i've seen if your DBs caught every ball that hit them in the hands you would have like 10 interceptions a game. It doesn't look pretty but its necessary to have accurate stats. You ideally want 1 INT and 1.5 turnovers per game for each team.
Hey guys. If you follow this thread you have noticed that I have had CPU passing sliders at 50 the whole time. I don't like those settings and I've been working on getting my original sliders that I came up with in play now mode to work in CCM. I never posted those but, i personaly like them better than these. I am very close to having those ready to post. If you want to help me test them a game or two pm me and I will invite you to a CCM to try them out. Thanks!
