still feels scripted
 
Game still feels scripted when you face a better team and are winning.

Example... I restarted my career with the Texans again. Beating the Colts 35-21 in the 4th. In the 4th Quarter ALONE I had

7 int thrown by my starting QB 2 by my backup
3 fumbles after catch
5 dropped passes
8 injuries on def
4 on offense

The colts meanwhile 0 turnovers the ENTIRE GAME. 0 injuries THE ENTIRE GAME. And then I lose 36-35.

Why do the teams suddenly become superhuman in the 4th? If the game wants me to lose, just after the 3rd go nice try you still lose... don't make me waste my time if no matter what I do my team is going to fail.

I don't mean to call you out on this, but how the heck do you have 9 interceptions in a quarter? I barely get 5 possessions a quarter.

Plus, I would think if you had that many INTs, you'd have lost by a heck of a lot more than 1 point.

As far as gameplay is concerned...why are you passing so much in the 4th quarter with a 14 point lead?

I am bad at ball control, I usually see 8-10 change of possessions a quarter. QB throws for 500-600 yards a game. On this game one of my INT was returned 80+ yards for a TD by Freeny... appearently he can outrun Manningham, Booker, and Green.

I throw so much because the Texans have absolutly NO way to run the ball. I run a west coast offense, and I average -10 yards a game running. And I realized 1 Int was in the 3rd quarter... but that's still 8 in 1 quarter.

My defense is great, that's why I only lost by 1. I run the 3-3-5 defense. I have lance Briggs, Kawika Mitchell, Mayo, Williams, Okar (whatever it is the young DT) and several 75+ CB and Hamlin and a UDFA rookie as safties. It's a beast defense.

Worst part is I go from 91 approval rating at the beginning of the 4th quarter to a 55 approval rating after the game.... after losing again, by 1 point.

You must be playing 15 min quarters. You will get unrealistic stats and games playing like that. If you are going to do 15 min quarters, supersim the first 3, then play the 4th.

or....

Play 7 or 8 (tops) minute quarters, and play the whole game.

yes 15 min quarters... but it still doesn't remove the fact that 8 int in 1 quarter and almost my entire defense injured in 1 quarter just to lose by 1 point when I was beating them in EVERY way. And they have NOTHING happen to them... including the always annoying challanges that clearly show you're right but are never called right...

No.

On 15 min quarters, I get just under 120 plays. This is realistic. Stop throwing it 70 times a game and then complaining about unrealistic stats and games.
