What version of Madden are you playing? 360, PS3, PS2, or Wii?

There are so many people that complain about this, ALL next gen maddens have this problem. BUT there is a way to not throw any interceptions, practice. I use to think the same way as you, but all it is, is playing dumb in madden. As the QB, you need to be smart throwing the ball. I play VERY smart as a QB and I get games were I dont throw any picks.

I think he is talking about the CPU throwing picks.

I get LOTS of games where I don't throw picks. The fact is, you are pretty much safe from it as ong as you don't zip the ball too hard. I think, though, that the issue he's talking about is with the CPU, which is a very real issue. Interceptions are far to easy to come by and the slider has a minimum effect.

last i checked there is no cpu accuracy slider

but yeah there isnt really a whole lot you can do. but like you said, its a game. It mimics real life football, but it will never be exactly like real football to a T as long there are 21/22 players on the field being controlled by AI (which is all computer variables being calculated) and not a human.

and remember...the more complex/larger these games get, that leaves more areas as to where things can seem 'unrealistic'. thats why text based games can be so close to real life. calculate based off of stats/ratings/tendencies and spit out a result. but when you add on field play, many things can go wrong from time to time.

I think a lot of people expect too much and expect on field play to be near perfect. You just have to remember its a game, it mimics real football pretty well, but it will never be perfect.

what im trying to say is that as long as its not 3 picks in 4 minutes all game, every game, its still possible to have fun with it. but remember since its a game it isnt always going to play a perfect/realistic game.
