miraculous dbs/sfeties/lbs

why can they suddenly swat the ball when i lead my receiver away from them and they are already 4 steps ahead of them? it seems lie kthey always have a burst at the last second to block almost all pass attempts, and it is so frustrating when i cant complete wide open deep balls, posts, etc

any tips on how to change this or coutneract it? btw im using the recommended all-madden sliders from this board

Re: miraculous dbs/sfeties/lbs

your last statement could be your problem. My sliders don't cause this kind of BS to happen. Not sure what your slider settings are.

All-Madden in itself can be rough.

all madden is tough, but I wouldn't play any other level. It's all about timing when throwing the ball. I love my sliders I have set, and I'm really getting a solid feel for how to play at this level, as I always do every year.

I heard All-Madden is better this year, or maybe in your case easier.

Is it true, because I may move up.

I'm trying to get you All-Madden players to talk me into moving up, because All-Pro default is too easy. Even with adjusted sliders it's too easy, unless you put your settings almost at 0.

The reason this happens is because of a flaw in the passing game. If it wouldn’t be for the defense’s miraculous tips and speed bursts and eyes in the back of their heads, then a player’s completion percentage would be unrealistically high, because the QB’s in the game are too accurate with their passes (If you’re throwing to someone in the passing cone of course). If the game took into account that many of the incomplete passes in the NFL are actually because of errant throws by the QB, where neither receiver nor defensive player can catch it, then there wouldn’t need to be this “cheating” by the defense. In the end, I believe it cancels out and you are left with a fairly accurate completion percentage at the end (can’t say the same for the computer’s QB though).

I personally would much rather have more randomness with the passes and less B.S. plays by the denfenses, but what can you do?

They are way to accurate. Not only that those db's/safeties/lb's nobody complains when their guys are the ones doing it and getting them INT's. But then in a tight game under 2 mins vs A.I all of a sudden the miraculous guys go away. What up wit dat?
