Far Too Many Ties

[JayD]

I assume everyone is seeing the same thing I am, there are far too many ties in CFM this year. I simulated one franchise and 5 games resulted in a tie. I simulated another franchise and 6 games resulted in a tie, the Bengals having 2. I know this was an issue last year as well and if I remember correctly it was fixed via patch. What is everyone's observation on this subject?

I’ve yet to see a tie. I’ve had a few games with all FGs or a single TD but no ties.

If you’re talking simmed stats and the analysis of the stats thereby generated, I can’t help because I never study league stats (save for to see where my team/individual players fall) or scores from games that don’t involve my CFM team.

I was referring to sim results. I've never had a tie in game.

Re: Far Too Many Ties

In just about every franchise season I get through, I typically see about 2 to 4 total ties. It's far more common to see ties in a Madden season then is represented in real life. Although it's not like there hasn't been seasons like that in real life, like the year the Seahawks and Cards tied (that game still gives me nightmares) and then the Bengals and Redskins (I believe this was the match-up) also ended in a tie. But this happens every season in Madden which is my issue.

This has been a 'problem' in previous Maddens, to be fair tho' it's a fairly minor consideration imo

Find it very interesting you were on the Seattle side of that tie given the rest of your signature.

Re: Far Too Many Ties

My last sim test there were 8 teams with ties and 2 had two ties on their record. So yeah its a problem.

Miami went 1-12-3 during a simmed season I had. Didn't even get the first pick of the draft either.

The Raiders are currently 5-6-4 in my franchise. I bought this game for the first time in years and it’s still awful.

Re: Far Too Many Ties

I am 11 years into my CFM, all simulated and I get at most 2-3 times across the entire league total.

Re: Far Too Many Ties

I also hope that they will work on it, I can't accept the fact that every season there's a tie.

WTH? Lol, I'm in my 6th season and I've seen 4 or 5 total ties in all those seasons combined.

Re: Far Too Many Ties

I've been trying to figure out if there's some method to this madness. I know it's been an issue for a few years now but last year I was more like Rayzaa and was barely affected by it. This year, on the other hand, has been a disaster, with anywhere between 2-6 ties a season.

I have to wonder if has something to do with settings or sliders. Last year I basically played it OTB on All-Pro, Sim settings using Sabo's custom playbooks. This year I've tweaked Armor's slider to my liking and haven't been using Sabo's playbooks, although I plan to start in my upcoming season.

Maybe if everyone sounded off as to how many ties they are or aren't seeing and also gave a rundown of their settings and sliders we can come together and find a solution or workaround
