It's neither. It's just the coding in Madden. Use a different slider set other than mine and you're gonna see the same stuff. I only saw it three times in the game I just played. It doesn't really bother me personally but if it's an issue to u then try changing the game speed or threshold if u want. The gameplay is gonna change significantly. Nothing in Madden is ever gonna be perfect. At the end of the day it is a video game. I'm sure 2k would do a better job but idk if they could get everything perfect either . gameplay wise I myself and others get pretty realistic outcomes and stats, as far as animations and physics, sliders have no control on those.
