CPU QB Accuracy

[LegendRyder]

I played a lot of Madden on previous gen, but just got 15 on PS4. I haven't played a LOT of games, so my sample size isn't huge. I didn't find this in Play Now (again, maybe I haven't played enough), but in my 3 games as the Seahawks in Offline CFM, I have gotten absolutely annihilated by Rodgers, Peyton, and Rivers. I get that these are 3 of the best QB's in the NFL, but the Seahawks D is also elite. It's not even that they're doing really well, they literally throw 1-2 incomplete passes a game. Is there any way to fix this?? Is anyone else finding this? Was this just an unlucky stretch of games, or do I just suck? I was playing All-Pro w/ default sliders for the first two, but against the Chargers I went down to Pro and still got shredded by the offence.

Re: CPU QB Accuracy

I had the same issue. I'm on All-Madden difficulty, but have had to move the QB accuracy down to 5. I can still get shredded, and QB can also through some crap passes but it's reasonable now.

Re: CPU QB Accuracy

It seems like a bug, to me. CPU QB's in my experience will always find someone to dump the ball off to, rather than trying to hit a receiver with somebody on him. Sliders are very wonky, and seem to affect a lot more than just the accuracy. It's frustrating, but I have yet to find a fix, and probably won't with the mess the current slider system is.

Visit the slider forum for settings and ideas on how to combat this...

Re: CPU QB Accuracy

Its not a bug. I think it was by design. They wanted to make the CPU tougher and they did. You can offset it somewhat by sliders, as mentioned, but you will still have really good CPU QB play, especially if on All-Madden.

Re: CPU QB Accuracy

I play on All-Madden, with the CPU accuracy at 4. I see very little Robo QB. Elite QB's still put up good numbers. I also have the cpu pass block at 0.

Re: CPU QB Accuracy

I play on All-Pro, and I have QBA at 10 for both sides. I had a game where Luck completed only 53%, but usually I'm seeing upper 60s, low 70s. Sacks are there, but not a major issue...average 2-3 per team each game. And the above post is right...the QBA slider (all sliders, probably) impacts more than just accuracy. In fact, after exhaustive testing, I've seen it impact the run game, too.

For instance, I put QBA at 1, all else, including penalties at default, and I had realistic comp % but run game sucked. Moved it to 10, same thing, although a bit better comp %. Here's the kicker...I moved it to 5 (again, everything else is at 50), and suddenly the run game was kick *** and comp % was in the 80s.

Bottom line, just be careful what you adjust. You start tinkering with one, then you end up having to edit another, and you just start going down the rabbit hole. I just have everything at 50 except for QBA, RBL, and TKL (the latter to help with the run game), only because if I change one thing, it changes two other areas.

I got my settings at 1 for human and cpu and get realistic results yap should try it if you do tell me what you think and play all madden

If you played one game on each setting, that is an extremely small sample size. Pure randomness could cause some of that. If you changed any of the teams, then moreso. I think you really have to play 3-5 games on any setting to get a true indication of a slider's true effectiveness.

Re: CPU QB Accuracy

I actually did this testing over 10 games with the same two teams to try and account for the randomness. Kept seeing the same thing.

Re: CPU QB Accuracy

I had this issue when I started playing, and I still do against some teams. I won't get shredded for 400 yards, but QBs will have an insanely high completion percentage against me (80-90%). To counter that I usually mix up my playcalling and get more pressure. This doesn't usually help with the completion percentage though, as they just hold onto the ball and I end up getting an unrealistic amount of sacks. So I end up with two skewed statistics categories but it's an effective way to neutralize the opposing offense and win game.

This is how I played on All pro and won a lot of games against CPU. I would have about 5 sacks a game which helped. Saw high Accuracy but also some drops and bad throws. I have been playing on All Madden last month, and getting absolutely shredded with 80-90% QB Acc, and very few dropped balls and miss throws. I think All pro is most realistic difficulty this year, I think playing on All Madden someone can expect to lose a majority of their games, or try desperately to get a win despite having CPU QB throw for 90%. I have never been a slider changer also, so maybe it's my fault for not changing and just using default game settings.

Re: CPU QB Accuracy

It surely does seem that the cpu QB accuracy is insane. The thing that really gets me is even when playings man coverage some of the CPU WR's get wide open with nobody around them.
