    OK I finally decided to unwrap the game after much debate. I bought the game labor day weekend on sale but I've been reading these threads and my hopes were not very high, but I took the plunge anyway.

    I played 1 play now game default all-pro with penalties all at 55. 12 minute quarters and accelerated clock to 16.

    I was the lions and won 24-20. I had 402 yards of offense to 305 for the Vikings. Each team had 1 INT. Stafford was knocked out early and was 5-5 with a long TD pass to Johnson. Orlovsky came in and was 12-20 for 227 1 TD and 1 Pick. I was sacked 4 times, 2 of them because I held the ball too long.

    Asiata started the game with a 38 yard run and finished with 105 on 22 carries and a TD. Bridgewater was 16-22 for 220 yards and a TD and a Pick. He was sacked 3 times. 1 on a screen play where he didn't get rid of the ball. The other 2 seemed like legit cover sacks. His incompletions were basically him throwing just as he got hit and 1 where the ball was jarred loose from the receiver.

    So in conclusion, after 1 game in play now, I did not see the sacks being an issue. Now I know that everyone says that franchise will play differently so I will check that out next. I only controlled the DT as I have done pretty much since the early days of Madden. So I could see how if EA told some tester to look at it and he did and had a game like mine, he would say sacks were not an issue.

    Onto the penalties. They were non existent except for 3 facemasks. Really disappointing not to see a hold, clip, false start or offsides. Do these sliders work at all?

    Anyway, everyone knows how critical I have been of EA so I will play some more tomorrow and post stats from a Franchise game.

    Overall, the game felt, meh. Not much different than what Madden 12 was for me on the 360. But I was really concentrating on the sacks and penalties to see what was going on there. I thought the AI played a pretty decent game for it to be on All-Pro default. It wasn't a walk-over, but I'm rusty.

    I also noticed there were very few assisted tackles, but I might have to lower tackling to see those. But as it stood almost every tackle was considered solo despite multiple times seeing multiple defenders in on the play.


    Give it more time lol. When I got the game for like the first 5 games I wasn't seeing the crazy sack numbers and I was thinking what is ever one talking about lol. Now after that the least amont of sacks I have had is 4 and most games I get 8-9 and some games I get 10-12 sacks. I think the first few games I played was agest QB that didn't have the tendecise to hold on to the ball or what ever they call it.

      Given NFL team average 2.5 per game, averaging 5-7 per game is quite high,

      It would be like a baseball game where the pitchers all averaged 12-16Ks per 9 innings.

        Yes it is. Multiply even just 5 by 16 games and compare it to stats and record books. Even 5 a game is an insane amount.

        I'm not saying the sacks aren't too high.
        Contradicting yourself here.

        If your point is to say there aren't other issues with the game I don't think you won't get much of a disagreement, but I don't think saying sack totals isn't too high is the best way to go about it when you clearly don't believe what you are saying yourself.

Because mine don't. It's not a user issue because I can't control all defenders. Even if I cover my guy perfectly, someone else (if not everybody else) is gonna be 10 yards away from his. Are you saying you see the quarterbacks miss on throws? QBs don't go 80%+ completions every time? How is that a user issue if I only control one guy? Do you play with sliders? What difficulty?

          I'm not saying the sacks aren't too high. I'm saying the game is fundamentally broken in 10 ways before sacks even come to mind. I'm saying playing this game would be insanely frustrating if all the sudden you couldn't get sacks anymore. I'm saying we shouldn't be talking about sacks without talking about CPU QB AI and user team coverage.


          Even 5-7 sacks I would take and I am not even that good. Most games I have 8-9 and that is like 2 or 2 times has many has I should have and the QB if you put QB slider down to anything below like 40 the miss a lot of passes. Heck I tried a few games with the QB slider between 10-25 and even at 25 the CPU cant even make a check down pass with out over passing the ball. They make tim tebow look good with how bad there passes are if you have the slider that low. If you have the QB slider around 40 you see a realistic amont of bad passes. You just need to have pass coverage around 80-85 and low reaction of like 5 with CPU WR around 45 and you see more realistic completion % and part of the reason that completion % are has high has they are is because the CPU don't thorw balls away when they should and takes sacks. If the CPU where to throw some of those balls away instead of taking the sack completion % would be lower then they are. This is on all pro by the way.

                  I still can't believe we have this issue not fix it. Last year version didn't have this. Soon mad and sad. I really want to play the game I love many other things but is really really hard to overlook 8 sacks a game or more. Specially since this sacks affect the outcome of the game.
                  English, is not my first language.

                    It fells like ever year so new major problem pops up. One year it was way to many fumbles even though it did get patched I think it took like 2.5 months or something. Another year It was super linebackers jumping 20 feet in the air and now this sack issue. Just wondering has any one played madden 15 last gen? Does madden last gen have the sack issue to or is it just on ps4, xbox one that has this sack issue?

                      5-7 isn't an insane amount?? are you serious with this comment?? 7 sacks per a 16 game schedule = 112 sacks for a teams total,and you want to throw in the preseason as well?? that's 140...and you don't see the issue here? as a quick reference.....and you don't see a problem here...

                      As far as coverage goes,yes they will cover,but they can't cover forever either

                      I play on AM with custom sliders,and guess what?....I see over throws,wide throws,and underthrows...and no not every QB throws for 80%....

                      I'm not saying that the game is perfect,I've never played a perfect game,and never will...but to say the sacks are needed because you can't stop anything...well that sounds like a user issue to me.

                        While I love to read page after page of everyone getting angry/frustrated about sacks, lets try and use this tread to try and point out what else is still wrong after the patch.

                        Maybe a new thread "We want the sacks fixed NOW" or something?!?!

                        Anyways, created players imported to offline CFM still bugs out to 0 confidence, consistency, and production grade... so that sucks too!

                        Not sure if they fixed their 0 Touchdown Enthusiasm either... Confirmation?

                        Man I hate how many sacks I get!

I think that you and I see the game through the same lens, thats just a conclusion I've come to after reading all of your posts when you respond. I'm not dragging anyone else under the bus, but I really don't trust many of the posts I see here saying the game is worthless, broken, etc, and THATS a conclusion I've come to after being on OS for MULTIPLE Madden releases. One question for you, are you changing your sliders up for this second title update?

                              If you're changing your sliders, probably means I'll be changing my own. I usually take the top three slider posts, (ex. yours, SEC, etc) get the average of the numbers, and tweak a bit left or right based on my own needs which usually gets my play time damn near perfect.

                              I have not touched anything...game actually plays even better post patch with the set. I noticed the CPU defense is even smarter, I feel the weight and momentum has been cleaned up some more and does not feel nearly as clumsy in the running game as it did before, and just in general the game feels more stable. The only value I have adjusted is injuries (raised to 54) and I will see how that plays out in my current Dolphins CFM. Other than that.....game is still rocking and rolling!

                                You all need to leave real life stats out of this video game.

                                Many of you are going to have this game torn up with all of your request for real stat values implemented in the game.

                                I'm not getting 5-7 sacks a game and if I do, I will be happy with it, not complain about it. lol

                                What ever formations youre doing to get a lot of sacks, then shy away from the formation.

                                You guys are really killing me.
