I decided to change all the cpu traits to trigger happy instead of paranoid. I still only got 1 sack in the game I tried and it did seem the QB threw down the field more. granted it was only one game ive tried so far. lol I was thinking maybe later ill switch the trait down 1 more to ideal and see if the sacks stay down and what happens to the cpu throwing desicions. side note I have pass blocking at 85.

Forget Ideal. It was a disaster on that. However please keep playing games with trigger happy and let me know how it goes.

Bottom line is I really hope to see a solid game tuning patch to rectify this sack issue. If we get one I will be thrilled and retest and tweak the sliders which will be easy to do once I see the patch notes.

The QB edits are not a permanent fix as rookie QB's will populate the league by year 4 and 5. It is really important that Tiburon examines this (which I am sure they are) and balances it without breaking something else. It's a slippery slope when you nerf and patch.

I personally play through 5 seasons max before I either start another or move on to the next version of the game. But I know plenty of players here at OS play deep into CFM and this needs to be addressed for a long term fix for CFM players which is by far the most popular mode along with MUT.

I am pretty confident they are going to fix this. The game has been well received, and there is a lot of good will with Madden. I think they want to make sure this great new feeling that the game has gone in the right direction continues.
