I'm glad my suggestion helped someone. I thought it may have been a placebo effect first, but I routinely compare DB and WR matchups to see if there is a difference in types of pass coverage. In comparing my pre-install verse post-install results, there was a huge difference with the same players while doing the same pass play. In pre-install, the DB consistently let the ball fly directly over his head without trying to swat or intercept the pass. In post-install, they now put their hands up.
Now I'm seeing more pass deflections/ INT's which lowers the QB completion percentage. I think this was the main issue that made passing too easy for both CPU and Human in my franchise. None of these deflections/INT's looked like a super "burst of speed" either! It looked natural!
By the way, I have the disk for Madden 20. So reinstalling wasn't a big deal for me. I can see it being more cumbersome for those that have to re-download. However, I strongly recommend the uninstall/reinstall for those of you that feel the game is so "unplayable" or "terrible". The more I think about it, the more it makes sense from a technical perspective.
Thousands of files are being overwritten on these patches. If you work with computers long enough, you know for a fact that error messages are bound to occur. Yet with Madden, we never
visually see an error message. Madden must have it pre-coded to overwrite
AND/OR ignore any error messages. Therefore, on one video game system it overwrites a file. While on another it ignores a file. With uninstall/reinstall, you don't have to worry about any files being "overwritten/skipped". ... Also, I know I've fixed several apps on my phone/tablet by uninstalling/reinstalling. So why not the same concept for Madden?
... Just some food for thought!
