Re: Madden NFL 15 Video - Simulated Season Stats

Correct some have learned that sack totals will end up in the 30ish for some players..my hope once I get my hand on the game..is to also edit defensive schemes as well to combat this to a certain extent..it appears we have a play count problem or maybe blitz (aggressive play call) issue.. Which makes me think of an idea..what if we only change defensive schemes? We looks at the passing totals as a offense issue when the issue maybe too "strong" defensive sim stats? As sack totals at " normal" sim stats we still high

When I looked last night it seemed it was a play distribution problem. Too many rushing attempts when compared to pass attempts.

Maybe I was off. Let us know what you find out.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Video - Simulated Season Stats

Are you guys just simming seasons to test stats or playing your team games? I'm trying to find out if we absolutely have to turn off simulate game prep for all the teams for this to work.

Trying to learn this as well...if I am looking to just do an offline franchise mode, do I need this fix and how do I do it?

I know it's probably been asked a million times to death but, does changing the playbooks/schemes etc.. in the long are detrimental to your CCM? As in, one day when Peyton retires and the Broncos have a crappy QB, is there any way to stop them from throwing like they have an all-time great QB?

That's my thought, no way am I changing all schemes just to have players move around and coaches get fired and have schemes all messed up again......... Big time game breaker for offline solo team career guys like myself, hoping for a patch

Re: Madden NFL 15 Video - Simulated Season Stats

Also there's an option to have each team be on auto pilot either for an unlimited amount of time or you can pick how many weeks? What is the point of this though if we can turn off and on the FA signings, draft duties, etc.

Confused about this.

Also if I turn off simulate game prep in the options, but leave auto pilot on...does the CPU coach still do the game prep?

I'm on that same page man, very confused and so many scenarios to be answered. Not sure why sim stats wouldn't just be correct. Last year they weren't perfect but they were in no way this messed up.

Simmed a season where Peyton threw 13tds and Ray Rice had 410 carries for just 1,100 yards

Changing the playbooks if for simming purposes. When you actually play a team, you load the game with their playbook returned to what it shold normally be, so that you experience the CPU team more like it's reali life counterpart.

Over years of CCM, you'll have to watch as teams change. If Peyton retires and the Broncos have a new QB, they may change their game approach to fit their new QB and personnel. In that case, I think the user should make a decision about 1) what if any changes should be made to the scheme and playbook for simming purposes and 2) what playbook should be used for user versus CPU games against that team.

That's my guess, anyway. If you take over 32 team control, you'll have to pay attention to some of what's best for the other teams over time, and make decisions accordingly.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Video - Simulated Season Stats

To those of you having trouble playing games with 32 team control, you have to turn the simulate game prep option OFF for all teams. If you dont then every time you try to play a game it tries to go through the game prep for all 32 teams before it allows you to play your game. It's actually not freezing, but literally taking 5-7 minutes going through and simming every teams game prep. Once I turned the simulate game prep option off I had no problems with the games loading for me.

So just to clarify, if you wait it out you can then play your game, and have the benefit of CPU teams doing their weekly prep?

It's a pain to wait, but it would at least be nice to know that CPU teams will be able to develop their players, etc.

Yes I know that, that's exactly what I have no desire in doing. Last year I controlled 1 team and didn't have to worry about others I actually played 7 full seasons, probably the best Madden I have experienced since being forced to buy it back in 2006......

Has anyone tried simulating a season as a single player online CFM and compared the stats?

Yes, I am actually trying a 10 year sim to see what that's like but the stats after 1 year are pretty much like the video on page 1 of this thread.

max ~30 TDs
max ~4200 yds

Re: Madden NFL 15 Video - Simulated Season Stats

Last video of the day guys, I hope it helps. Basically, changed playbooks to pass balanced or balanced and all schemes on vertical offense. Ran 3 sims, results are extreme in some cases but an improvement on the whole.

Re: Madden NFL 15 Video - Simulated Season Stats

So I decided to change up defensive schemes too for my testing and making sure no team is on "attacking". Unfortunately in doing so, I found another fun bug. When taking control of an existing coach (or your own, it seems), there is no "Base 3-4" option in schemes. Several coaches have it by default, but the moment you go in to change their offensive scheme and playbook, you'll never be able to keep their defensive scheme at Base 3-4. Unfortunately, I was hoping to take all the "attacking 3-4" teams and turn them into base, and now I'm left with turning ALL the 3-4 teams into zone blitz 3-4 or hybrid defense. Well played, guys. Well played.

What a game killer to CFM guys, this is saddening
