Force wins resulting in ridiculous scores

[trevdawg0909]

Playing an offline CFM and I like to occasionally use the "force home win" or "force away win" option.
The only problem with this it that the scores in a force win are often unbelievably ridiculous. Scores like 67-3 or 55-0 occur more often than not. Rarely do I see a 21-17 score when using the "force win" option. This results in absurd stats for the players, with many QB's throwing for 5 or 6 or even 7 TD's regularly.
I just used the "force home win" in a Chiefs at Patriots playoff game, and the Pats won 63-14, with Brady tossing 7 TD's and rushing for another. Dion Lewis rushed for the 9th TD. No field goals.
Does anyone else use the "force win" option and notice this oddity with scores and stats?

Woah. Just did a force on the NFC Championship game between the Packers and Cardinals, forcing the Pack to win. Final score 75-0 for Green Bay. Just absurd. I don't get it.......

My guess is that the computer essentially makes all your players 99's overall to ensure a victory. That, in turn, causes blowout scores.

I think looking at the results that's a safe assumption. They should have had the simulator just keep simming the game until it got the result "right".

I'm pretty sure any programmer could make it so the winning team gets a random point total between 10-40 points, and the losing team get a total less than that.
I don't see why they would have to "sim" anything until they got it right, or assign 99 overalls to any of the players.

Re: Force wins resulting in ridiculous scores

A winning score between 20-40 and a losing score between 0-19 would be good, far less embarrassing

But to be fair, the feature works just like they said it would lol

Re: Force wins resulting in ridiculous scores

I've done it once and the score was 31-30

Re: Force wins resulting in ridiculous scores

Yup this is just nuts. We had one we did turn out 66-3 . Winning team had almost 600 yards of offense.losing team 180..... Second one was 52-0 , winning team had 500 yards offense. Losing team 140 .....Tested real hard i see...

Re: Force wins resulting in ridiculous scores

Yeah when we tested this out in our CFM we found the same thing, ridiculously high scores. The bigger travesty tho, imo, is that you can't throw out scores and sim a win. It would be much more useful, in online cfm, if you could throw out the score AND sim a win. Like ksteward84 said tho, it IS working like they said it would. Hopefully that get's looked at for Madden 17.

How do you force a win in offline franchise mode? I can't figure it out. I have a force advance option, but it just simulates to the next week without giving me any option to choose a home or away team win.

As Commissioner of the league, go to League>Schedule and choose the game you want, then choose Force Home Win or Force Away Win.

Then you wouldn't get the stats from the game.

Re: Force wins resulting in ridiculous scores

While I understand the laughable results of these .. what's the point of forcing a win? Why wouldn't you just simply let them play the game out?
