Anyone seeing too many sacks from their DE?

[txhardhitta405]

Michael Bennett (bucs) Finished a season with 29 sacks for me.. on my MLB CC we won the super bowl and finshed the regular season 15-1 with the number 1 D and 32nd O..

Lol, can y'all post some videos of this type of sack happening? I'm not disputing that it happens, but my opponents usually get 6-7 seconds to hold the ball and the concept of too many sacks happening Madden is just so unreal to me. At least I'll be able to see what you guys are doing to get pressure.

I have the same problem. My LE is the one always getting the pressure, but my RE seems to have a little more trouble. I'm not sure how much I actually care, but it is something I've noticed.

Please believe I'm not complaining. Hell I use it to my advantage with Orakpo on passing downs, but it's still severely flawed. If I play Trent Williams at LT he is nearly flawless. If I put him at RT it's easy 3-5 sacks against a game. What causes that? Simple typical EA coding.

Also, note that this doesn't really happen super frequently on passing plays... but you'll notice a trend over the course of several games. Most of the time the (CPU controlled) DEs will simply just engage the OTs and become stalemated. However on some small'sh number of plays... perhaps about 4-6 a game, the LE will just randomly disengage from the RT without even using a pass rush move while the RE basically never does and just sits there and plays patty cake with the LT. This gives the LE a free path the QB pretty early in the pass play and results in a higher number of sacks for that position.

I had a theory previously that it may simply just be ratings based, but I don't believe that to be the case. I switched my LT and RT (Eugene Monroe of the Jaguars, with a PBK of 88 moved to RT and Eben Britten, PBK of 80 moved to LT). The same thing happened to Monroe on the right side. This was only for one game, but it still indicates there is a problem with something about that side of the line and DE play.

I drafted a highly rated LT(top 3), & planned to use him @ RT since I had Okung holding it down on LT.
@ the start of season 3 his run block rating went down 15-20 point to what he had when I drafted him. He only allowed 2-4 sacks all year.
I'm wondering if this "bug/glitch" had anything to so with it?

I've experimented with Joe Thomas and other great pass blockers at RT. It doesn't matter who it is, the LE on certain plays will decide he doesn't feel like getting blocked anymore and just disengages after a second. It's like the RT is stuck in quicksand and can't shuffle his feet over in time to pick him back up.

And the reason why this is a bug is not b/c it's DEs getting the pressure but b/c it's ONLY the LE that this happens with no matter how good the RT is. It's not hard to see. Play any game, and whenever your LE gets pressure or a sack on the QB, check out the replay and notice the insta-shed.
