Interceptions

[brettryantalley]

Okay, I'm having a hard time with interceptions. On the sliders, I'm not really sure which one controls interceptions I get on defense for the interceptions I throw on offense. I'm throwing a lot of interceptions.

Re: Interceptions

Ya the slider isn't working needs a patch but I wouldn't hold my breath with ea.

Re: Interceptions

I play pro with human at 0 and cpu at 20. II've also been changing them as I go. Not having to upload them in fran.must be fixed with patch. My sliders r on ps4 under FederalX.

Re: Interceptions

You set your sliders at the main screen. When you start your franchise, go to Settings and import your sliders.

Your saying your throwing picks every game? How many? The sliders & penalties interact with one another, it can be complicated, and it isn't straight forward, as we would think it would be.

What I would do to is this for starters:

CPU Pass Defense Sliders:

PRT: 30
INT: 0
PC 52

Penalties Settings


DPI 30-40
OPI 74-86

Let me know if this helps you?

For instance, in offline CCM if your fumbles slider is between 44 to 50 CPU run game isn't very effective, once you start to lower your slider for fumbles the cpu starts to run better. But, of course other CPU slider & penalty settings affect this as well.

Re: Interceptions

Obviously there are slider issues but this problem goes well beyond that. This is one area where the devs could really tap into the new systems.

There needs to be a lot more going on between the WR's and CB's. There's not a enough jostling and fighting for position. Its way over canned to the point where you see a lot of WR's and CB's do the same jump animation for the ball.

There should be way more tips and broken up passes. INT's should happen rarely and the defense should be playing to break up the pass not get the INT.

Re: Interceptions

Drop the pass coverage slider down (15 or 20 works well). That will take care of the interception issue.

Re: Interceptions

After playing in practice mode all morning and testing different slider settings, I believe that the Interceptions slider is dead. No adjustments to said slider has any effect on the defense's abilities to get interceptions. It's the Pass Coverage slider that affects the DB's likelihood of intercepting a pass.

In fact, after hours of testing, I would argue that the Pass Coverage slider is the Interceptions slider because I didn't notice any other changes to the DB's behavior and abilities when testing this slider other than the interceptions decreasing or increasing.

Another anomaly I noticed during testing is that the Reaction Time slider is backwards. Increasing it actually decreases the defense's reaction time to passes. To test this, I set it at zero and kept hotrouting to a simply curl route. I used the matchup of Dez Bryant vs Deangelo Hall. At 0, Hall was reacting almost instantly when Bryant was making his break to come back to the line of scrimmage. At 100, however, the reaction time was slowed and more in line with my expectations of what I would consider a realistic reaction time. I'll have to watch some film, however, and see how fast certain DB's react in real life before I can find a setting I'm happy with on that slider.

I experimented by lowering Interception slider to zero and that made a difference, so not sure why you didn't see that. I have since put it at 15.

I read another post suggesting pass coverage be lowered to 20 or less, maybe you? Sounds good and maybe I'll give that a try, not because of interceptions, but because of the CPU man coverage.

Re: Interceptions

i've thrown 38 picks in 6 games on all pro.....
i don't even bother throwing the ****ing ball anymore.

With a forecast of up to 10 inches of snow coming, I needed a good laugh, thanks!

Some have suggested lowering pass coverage to 15-20, so try that and lower interceptions to zero.

Re: Interceptions

I've got cpu pass cov at 62 and Ints at 43. I like what I see there. Quality coverage still, but I'm not throwing tons of picks. If you try this and are still throwing picks, I think you can keep lowering int to 42, 41, etc. and see if you find a good mix. For me, I think pass cov at 20 would be too low, and I do see a difference with Int 43. With pass cov 62 and Int at 44, 45, 46, etc., I start throwing too many ints, the cpu defenders are just ALWAYS there.

well i dont want to be 90%+ on completion, i want it to be realistic. the thing that is driving me is fat ****ing LB's who have mad hops all of a sudden jumping and catching a bullet to a receiver 10 yards down the field.

glad you're having a good chuckle on my misfortune, and the worst part is, i neglected the HB position during the draft, and have a BJGE as my HB.. dude gets rocked so hard.

Re: Interceptions

Realism in Madden Football is extremely difficult. Good luck!

Try what I posted and see what happens. Even with interceptions at zero, you will still get picked off. The important thing is you will be able to throw that___ball.

I've captured realism about as close as it's gonna get on this game.. Bjge will be able to mow little defenders over and interceptions are not automatic most games qbs are in 50-70% completion.. U just gotta keep working the sliders til u get what ya want.. Took me about 4 weeks but I'm finally satisfied and having the best football gaming experience ever.
