Hey guys,
I posted this in another thread but wanted to see if others are struggling with this and if there are mitigating factors that can be applied to level set. I am finding the simmed results and the accompanying statistics to be very unrealistic and arcade-like.
For example, I am playing with the Titans and just completed week 17 in year #1 of my cfm (I am the only user in my cfm) and am currently averaging 26.5 PPG (which IMO is high but not too unreasonable). What irks me though is the fact that this is good for 24th in the league, as almost half of the teams in my franchise are averaging north of 30 ppg. As a point of reference, the 26.5 PPG would rank #4 overall if comparing to actual 2015 NFL results. Only two real NFL teams averaged over 30 PPG last year, and I believe only 1 (Atlanta) is surpassing that mark this year.
I also am seeing some crazy pass statistics across all teams. As a team, I am averaging ~247 passing yards/game, which ranks 26th in the league (would be 18th in this years’ NFL). 7 teams average over 300 passing yards per game, compared to 1 in the actual 2015 NFL season (2 so far in 2016). Just really skewed, in my humble opinion. This all came to a head when playing the Texans in week 17. I had noticed Osweiler went down for the year in week 13, leaving signal calling duties to the one and only Tom Savage. In his past three games Savage has posted passing yardage of 328, 343, and 424!! All done with a completion percentage of about 65%-70% and WITHOUT DeAndre Hopkins who is on IR with a torn ACL. This just completely ruined the franchise I am currently in and am wondering if there is even a fix for this…..
Is this a common issue? Is there anything I can do to help steer simmed games to reflect more accurate numbers/results? I have heard sliders do not have an impact, does the quarter length? Now as a disclaimer I am using EA’s updated roster set from either 3 of 4 weeks ago, and maybe using a different roster set will help?
Any insight that could be provided would be most helpful. Maybe this is an isolated thing, or maybe I tweaked something that I shouldn’t have, but seeing consistent scores like 42-21 & 38-17 really leave a bad taste in my mouth when trying hard to replicate reality – or at least get in the ballpark.
