Curl, Out and Drag Routes

I upped the coverage sliders and didn't notice that much of a difference. How high did you take it up to? And I agree with lowering the int slider b/c the game feels better w/ more deflections and less interceptions

I upped both to 60, pass coverage and pass reaction.

I lowered OPI and DPI to 1, heard lower DPI gives better pass coverage.

Lowered QBA to 15. At 10, Rodgers threw like a girl to the left side.

When the Seahawks played man coverage, Sherman NEVER stopped the curl or out route one time. When in zone, Nelson was also open on the drag route. Sherman is rated 96 overall with 98 man coverage, yet he ALWAYS gets beat on out routes. This is pure stupidity and it will never get fixed. I understand how to stop these routes against users. Either manually cover it or alter the defense pre-snap to throw out some purple and/or flat zones. However, a CB like Sherman with 98 man coverage should be able to stop an out route on his own. It is frustrating because online all people do is run these same routes over and over again and having a CB like Sherman or Revis doesn't really matter since they can't stop these basic routes anyway.

I also played as the Seahawks against Packers (twice) and same thing happened with Sherman. At the end of the game, Sherman wasn't listed under Defensive stats because he didn't do anything all game!

As far as I'm concerned, it's Madden 13 with a new roster. They can keep all the fancy stuff. What I want to see is Sherman like Sherman is supposed to be.

As a suggestion, lower QBA, up pass reaction and pass coverage and lower pass blocking.

Sherman should play like Sherman.

Not the most difficult thing to do but boy it sure is a lot of work just to get a roughly 96 overall corner to play like himself. The game should be shipped ready to play

You could do that with Madden 13 and get same result, right? Well then, why even bother with Madden 25? Just for the roster update?

Eh, I hear you, but it took me 5 minutes to put together some sliders that I thought would work and adjust from there.

Never played a sports game ever where I didn't adjust sliders to my liking.(sim) Never played sports game out of the box and just flip a switch.

No, there are differents elements to this game you need to consider this year.

The improved run blocking logic, the better precision passing, some penalty sliders affecting game play, and some sliders not in Madden this year.

In addition, you have more defensive audibles this year.
