    Yea me too. Age plays a huge part in the regression as well. I don't have an issue with Brady regressing. He's what...32 now? He's regressed in real life too.

    In fact the only QB that's over 30 that hasn't regressed is Peyton Manning. Even Drew Brees has regressed some.

      Re: Madden NFL 15 Video - Simulated Season Stats

      Has anyone tried changing the coaching schemes within CFM and doing a simulation? I know in past versions of Madden adjusting the Pass vs Run slider and RB1 vs RB2 slider had an affect on simulated stats.
      I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust 'em.

        In the Retail Q/A thread, Skyboxer said he adjusted the run vs pass schemes as well as sliders and it didn't have any effect.

        My guess is, the QB stats issue is because of the game prep confidence aspect. Once a CPU QB starts doing poorly and their confidence drops, they don't recover well and it affects their stats the rest of the year.

        I wish we could turn off the Confidence aspect of the game. I'm pretty sure this would fix the issue. Not sure if EA will even attempt to patch this or not.

          Thanks to this issue EA just lost a 20+ year customer. I will not be buying this game until it is patched or there is a work-around posted on this forum

            I'm a huge CFM guy, but I can't let this ruin the game for me. It is a disappointment, but the game looks really good. I'm quite confident they will at least attempt to fix it.

            Has there been any public confirmation that they are working on the problem?

              I think they will try to fix it too. The problem seems to be caused by the confidence which is a new feature in M15 so i don't think they'd let a brand new feature sit broken in a major game mode.

                it is dead quiet on their end. No idea if you can read into that either way. Would be nice for them to tweet out a we hear you and are working on it but my guess is they dont know they can fix it. You have to think that they shipped this knowing it was broken. They do test the product and if any devs are football fans they saw this right away but simply couldnt get humpty dumpty back together again when they started tinkering.

                I hear what you are saying about not letting it ruin the game and some out there say that it is crazy to not buy the game since the on the field stuff has improved so much. But as a CFM player it kills the reality. I dont play "play it now" modes because they are not part of a larger world. A game or two or ten may be fun to play but I am not gonna sit down and play hundreds of random games against the computer.

                Its the same way that I dont just watch one or two or ten NFL games a year. Like most NFL fans we watch all of our teams games plus as many others as possible because your team/each game is part of this larger universe, full of story lines and season long competition. When EA focuses on the online world to the neglect of the offline universe they kill it for players like me.

                When stats are broken and progression unrealistic they destroy that immersion that makes it fun in the long term. I am sure I would enjoy playing the actual game with some buddies for the 5-6 times a year we would play but it just doesnt justify shelling out my 60$. and since I dont have a a ps4 yet it certainly doesnt justify 400$.

                  Brady is 37. As for him regressing in real life it's hard to say, he had a down year but he also lost all 5 of his top targets from the year before. Drew Brees had one of the best seasons of his career last year, not sure how he has regressed.

                    The issue of low TD's and low passing yards with QB's was present last year as well. So I don't think the new confidence thing is causing this.

                    The poor TD-INT ratio was a problem with the sim engine last year too.

                    To me the sim results are as bad as last year.

                    I'm not as confident this will get patched if they didn't even try to fix it over a whole dev cycle.

                    I think for the the sim engine ways has and always will be a back burner issue.

                      Is there a way to up every QB awareness? Thp? Etc.. Does each QB have a confidence built into them, which we can adjust in roster editing?

                        Mind you, this is at the start of Season 3 of my CFM:

                        - The Bears have Tannehill, Cutler, and Roethlisberger all on their team....and their starting QB is a rookie who's a 78 OVR (The other 3 QBs are 73, 70, and 63, respectively).

                        - Andrew Luck is NOT on the Colts. Kirk Cousins is their starter (77 OVR)

                        - Christian Ponder (73 OVR) is the Cowboys starter...

                        - Matt Ryan is NOT on the Falcons. Ryan Mallet is their starter...73 OVR

                        - Luck is on the Jaguars....ahead of Bortles (Luck is 83 OVR - awr and acc down)

                        - Rodgers is a beast, Stafford and Kaepernick are in the 94 range. Every other QB is very average.

                        - None of the rookie QB's drafted this year have progressed...
                        The fact that issues like these even make it to release is pathetic QA. It's almost like they aren't testing or listening to feedback at all. I don't recall them ever having patched/fixed a sim stat issue in the past, so I'm not holding my breath.

                          They definitely did. I remember vividly one year where pretty much every RB averaged 2 YPC and nobody would hit 1000 yards, so they patched it and suddenly every RB averaged 7-9 YPC and rushed for 1500+ yards lol. One of the most frustrating years ever for me with Madden.

                            Well Josh Looman did in fact try to fix sim stats 3 years ago I believe but it still wasn't perfect, but it was better. He was fixing the sacks and tackles stat problem.

                            I'm not even sure if Looman is still with EA.
