Again it's impossible to get sacks that aren't coverage sacks.

[u0dcameron]

I find it nearly impossible to sack the QB again unless I'm controlling the safety and coverage is absolutely locked to the point that he's going to throw a pick.

There's far to many times where he tosses the ball just as my defender hits him which would be intentional grounding in the NFL and result in a sack.

I'm in week 11 of my chise and no one has more than 5 sacks on my team most of which are coverage sacks.

I'm not saying getting them is impossible, I'm not asking for a magical play to get sacks, I'm saying the QB throws the ball away as soon as the defender is near him especially if the defender is user controlled.

This has been a problem in the last 2 maddens and I can't believe it was once again not addressed.

Also it seems like they made diving for a tackle useless because every time I try to dive at the QB it's like my player is sliding into home in baseball, why is my damn player diving to his knees EA?!

I can say that I'm not having much trouble getting sacks. Granted, I have the benefit of having DeMarcus Ware & Anthony Spencer on the outside, with Jay Ratliff to clog the middle .

When EA's site is back up, I have two videos to upload. One: I started out offsides and immediately hit Brady, who still got rid of it in time. Two: Brett Favre broke a sack (after a play action) then, facing backwards, magically threw the ball forwards after feeling the rush.

rgiles your game must be different than mine than because it doesn't matter who it is rushing. I've played with the cowboys and experienced the same thing I posted. I mainly use Denver and if there was a stat for QB Hurrys Dumervile would have about 100... yet he has only 5 sacks.

Madden is the same as NCAA, you need to go to practice mode and learn how to do the defensive line moves to get sacks. I get sacks just fine using various teams.

9 games 14 sacks with Justin Tuck and 5 with Osi.. So ya its not impossible...


Sliders people , Sliders they are your friend!!!! I need to tweak mine as I feel I may be getting to many...

Re: Again it's impossible to get sacks that aren't coverage sacks.

Im in my 2nd game (offline franchise, All-Pro, no slider adjustments) with the aweful Bills and have 3 sacks on Henne (actually knocked him out of the game on the 3rd sack) in the 1st game and 2 on Rodgers in my 2nd game...I did resign Schobel and am starting him at LE (be jumps up to 88OVR at that position), the rest of the D remains the same.

another issue that others have brought up is the inability to successfully run the play action. Play action has worked wonders for me.....seems these issues (robot QB and sack-inducing play action) happen for some and not others...I am still tinkering with sliders, but hopefully some slider adjustments can help others that have faced these issues.

Re: Again it's impossible to get sacks that aren't coverage sacks.

This isn't directed at the OP but just a general statement. Sometimes people can't do things simply because of their skill level. I can't rush the ball for 300 yards in a game but I've read others can. Should I complain? I know the point that would be brought up would be "yea but you can rush the ball some right?" and yes that's true. However I've seen people that say they can't rush the ball at all and complain rushing is broke.

Something is not necessarily "broken" in the game just because you have difficulty or simply cannot do it.

Re: Again it's impossible to get sacks that aren't coverage sacks.

You guys are missing the point. Yeah its possible to get sacks, but the code of the cpu qb is ********. More often than not they will throw the ball away to an open receiver just as you close in on them or throw the ball as they are getting hit. That is what this guy is trying to say. ROBO Qb is alive and well for the CPU QB. Has been this way for years.

Did you even read my post?

I don't need to practice moving the right stick to the right or left that's pretty basic.

I said I don't have a problem getting to the QB I'm saying the QB throws it away while getting contacted CONSISTENTLY which would be intentional grounding in the NFL.

There are also a billion times when your coming from the QB's blindside and he magically feels your presence and throws the ball as soon as your an inch away from sacking him.

You used to be able to avoid this by diving at the QB but they made diving pretty terrible.

And sliders don't change anything, if you tone down pass blocking sure you get through the line faster but the QB just throw the ball away quicker which makes for a boring and crappy game because the receivers don't get time to run they're routes.

I've run blitzes where the O Line just COULD NOT PICK IT UP and my MLB ran STRAIGHT through the line while the QB took the snap out from centre (not shotgun) and the MLB STILL didn't get the sack because the QB threw it IMMEDIATELY to a receiver who had only taken 2 steps...

I'm at work so I dont have all them in front of me, but my feeling on sliders are that to each is there own... Kinda working off of Odoggs post... I cant use the DE and get sacks my self where someone else may be really good at that.. So instead I put the Sliders heavy in my favor off the top of my head I think they look something like this..

Pass D
Rea. Time 70
Int 30
Pass rush 70

and I have the CPU Pass blocking at 20... after 9 games I feel I may have to many sack and will boost the pass blocking a bit tonight... I just drives me crazy when people say the game is broken.. and you say hey try the sliders and they Scream.. I shouldn't need sliders the game shouldnt be broken.. The point of sliders are to help each player get the best out of the game, again like Dog said, I'm a beast on the ground I have thing hitting the holes just right. I can run the ball so I think my Rush Sliders is around 16 at this point where my Pass is at 11, same with my D rush slider is at 12 and my pD pass sliders are t 8.. its all about the player... Tweakem, I will has I get better at stoping the pass I'll lower my reaction slider... again Sliders are your best friend

Sorry I just dont see this happening... sure once or twice it happens but not every time like your making it out to be.. and if you hit the QB and he throw a bad pass its Int. Grounding.... That statement alone makes me wonder...

Stop appearing in every thread preaching how silders make this game good. Do you realize that most of us play this game online?
