Try lowering the Hum PCV slider (you have it at 70 on your set). When receivers are so well covered, the CPU QB just keeps searching and searching and searching and searching for a receiver.

There is no workaround, we can only wait for the patch.

what the above poster said may work to alleviate the problem, but it would also adversely affect the gameplay in other ways.

It does not happen all the time. For whatever reason on some plays the AI QB goes brain dead. If you try to counter this by lowering pass coverage, then on the other plays you will get torched. Besides that lowering the slider does not seem to matter much.

also what you set the AI pass blocking slider to is irrelevant. The consensus seems to be that it only affects user vs cpu linemen, i.e. when you control a pass rusher the slider determines success rate. It does not impact the likelihood of your AI teammates beating their man.

Possibly the best or closest thing to an acceptable workaround is editing all QB traits to trigger happy. Armor uploaded a roster with these edits but he did this pre-tuner and now thinks it is not worth it. I am inclined to agree.

All we can do is wait

Re: fix for sacks? anyone found 1 yet?

Unfortunately we're going to have to wait for a patch to hopefully fix this issue.
I have not played the game in some time now due to this issue,and I feel that I have tried everything under the sun. I just can't have fun knowing that I will and can have anywhere between 5-7 sacks every game...and this is on All Madden,a level which is "supposed" to "juice" the ratings...I was hoping to see the issue toned down,but sadly it's not the case.

I really,really like the game and want to play the daylights outta my CFM,but the sack issue is just a killer for me. So while I wait for the patch,I have been spending all my time in Destiny.

Re: fix for sacks? anyone found 1 yet?

I think there is a fix but it's a combined slider and roster editing fix.

I got CPU pass block at 100. It effects user getting to CPU. The above mentioned man coverage being lowered does help and I'm sure you know the pass reaction slider is reversed so the lower it is the closer they stay to man and break on ball faster so setting that a tad higher helps.

The big fix to me is putting CPU qbs to have paranoid trait with nothing else. Also giving CPU high ball carrier vision. This doesn't mean guys like Peyton run with ball it means they avoid the rush when pressure is felt.

Lastly give qb throw away trait set at yes and set CPU qb pass accuracy a little higher. They still throw bad throws at higher setting.

I think you will see a huge change as I have done that to my rosters with amazing results. If you don't see results I'm seeing then when all else fails go edit offensive line pass blocking and awareness for each player. Is all that annoying to do? Yes but you asked for a fix. :-)

I cannot stress this enough. The sliders don't work as advertised. There are a number of unintended consequences when you fiddle with them.

This game would be leaps and bounds better if the sliders worked accordingly.

Its something so simple....been in the game for years, but for whatever reason the last 3 years sliders have had issue.

...and they refuse to acknowledge anything slider related.

Re: fix for sacks? anyone found 1 yet?

I count to three, and then switch to the DL and make them run away from the QB lol. It's pathetic. First game of my CFM against Green Bay I got 11 sacks. It's a brutal game breaker. I'm about to trade it in for FIFA tomorrow. I've waited long enough for a patch. It's not worth it to me anymore, and honestly the patch probably wont totally fix the issue.

Re: fix for sacks? anyone found 1 yet?

what if you just used default sliders and play all madden?

Re: fix for sacks? anyone found 1 yet?

No roster editing, playing online CFM and using Charter sliders with an adjustment or two and here's what I have in Year 2 of my Titans CFM:

WK 1 - CAR - 4 SACKS
WK 2 - NO - 2
WK 3 - ATL - 3
WK 4 - IND - 2
WK 5 - PIT - 5 (3 on Big Ben, 2 on L. Jones)
WK 6 - IND - 0
WK 7 - NE - 4 (2 on Brady, 2 on Jimmy G)

So that's 20 sacks in 7 games which is around 2.85 sacks per game. Probably still a little high, but not too bad.

On an interesting note as well as the sake of comparison my QB's have been sacked 22 times.

Re: fix for sacks? anyone found 1 yet?

I was having this issue and found that improving the CPU running game (increase run block) and lower user tackling helped by getting the CPU in less 3rd and longs. They still occur and I still get sacks, but it's a lot more balanced and fun.

I used Armor and Sword's slider set.

My numbers are a lot more like you are seeing. Im playing AP, with my variation of the A&S set, i get to thinking perhaps theyve gotten it toned down a bit server side.

I have no clue if thats the case, but through preseason, sacks havent been to worry some, except me being able to get rid of the ball at times.

Re: fix for sacks? anyone found 1 yet?

Week 1 4 sacks

Smh

Re: fix for sacks? anyone found 1 yet?

So...the consensus is the tuner did nothing as to what ea claimed? What bugs me is 1 month later and a patch hasn't even been announced....

I want to play and enjoy this game so much but typical ea gives us a broken game and refuses to fix it in a reasonable time...

Ugh can i get a refund?..

Cuz i won't play much when 2k comes out...

Learned my lesson for next year

**JaymeeAwesome** · 09-22-2014, 11:30 PM

Re: fix for sacks? anyone found 1 yet?

The NFL average for 2013 was a total of 5 sacks per game. My slider set produces 6 sacks per game, slightly higher, but workable. I wouldn't agree that the game is broken...just inaccurate. I'm having a blast now that I found a slider set that works.....only took a month lol
