For the first time I can remember the cpu actually looks like it knows how to run a hb screen.

Using the 49ners against the Ravens, the Ravens were cheating. There was an invisible defender tackling me when I thought I had open space. I can could a slight little shadow when he moved but really couldn't see him. When I ran a spread formation with wr on the outside it would look like a wr was uncovered at the snap. He was covered by the invisible man though lol.

Qb's are too accurate with default sliders, way too accurate like NCAA. Majority of slider makers have QBA at 0 or 5 for NCAA.

Here is what I'm fiddling with.

QBA for both- 20, might try 15 next.
Pass Blocking- 25 for both
Run Blocking- 35 for both. Lynch and Lacy still had some good runs.
Pass Reaction- 60 for both
Pass Coverage- 60 for both
Tackling- 55 for both
Int's- Might lower to 40.

Penalties- 100 for offsides and false start, holdg-55(still none called), FM-35, intentional grounding 75, clipping 54, rtp 54. I might try OPI and DPI ant 1 or 0. Theory is there is tighter coverage with DPI lower.

Just had a weird moment. Eddie Lacy got hurt, bruised ankle, put him back in the game and he gets a first down and then i get a cut scene of him walking into the locker room even though he is still in the game. Then Clay matthews got hurt, but is still in the game 1 play later, then i get the update he had a torn muscle..

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

This was the most blatantly buggy and ridiculously incomplete demo I have ever played. In 1 game I had over 15 abdominal injuries, dissappearing players, the most absurd auto subs I have ever seen, which REALLY ruined it for me. I only had my starting WR in for about 1/4 of the game, because the cpu kept auto subbing my guys out at the drop of a hat, and then sit them for the next 2-3 SERIES!! There are just so many glitches each year, unless somebody gives me a free copy, I will not be purchasing this year. Too many bugs, and it gives me no confidence that they even really care anymore.......

Also, saw Wilson scramble and make a pass. 5 seconds left in the game, Seahawks winning 3-0, Wilson took a knee. With adjusted sliders, this game plays nice. If you don't move the sliders off default, this turns into a different game and not for the good.

Which sliders are you using?

My subs were on point honestly. Rb2 came in after rb1 got a few carries. Even getting subbed after a 45 yd scamper.

WR were subbed accordingly based on how I played.

I set fatigue to 48

Injuries are insane tho. As the Seahawks. I lost 7 guys ( Thomas, chancellor, lynch to name a few) for the entire game. Rodgers went out in that same game in the 2nd qtr. was weird tho.... Dropped back to pass and literally fell down untouched. Since no replay, don't know what happened. Bit that one was Linda interesting. Maybe they put in non contact injuries. ????
