So far so good. I got three games in on AM. First game, it was something else... I got a reality check real fast. I lost 59-0 against the Chargers with the Bengals lol. I, uhh had to shake some of that rust off and brutal beat down off. But I honestly can say I've never been that dominated before by the CPU. Nothing I did or tried looked and it was amazing but annoying! Next two games were great. I played Packers Vs Vikings and lost 31-29. Cousin's missed a wide open throw to Rudolph over the middle to set us up for the game winning FG. The final game I played was Seahawks Vs Falcons and I lost 24-21. This was a sloppy, turnover game for the Falcons team. Ryan was off the mark several times throwing 4 picks and Gurley fumbled which took away the tying field goal potentially.
Run down of things:
Ryan or Wilson weren't sacked at all! First I've seen that on a AM game without something being off. Plenty of QB hits just no sacks. Rodgers I got to him 3 times and Cousins went down 2 times.
It was nice to see Aaron Rodgers and Wilson take off on me a few times. Rodgers ran only when everything was covered, pocket broke down or on a read option he kept. Wilson, man he bolted out of the pocket once it started collapsing. This made me actually stick a spy out there as I was threatened by both of these QBs.
Running game wasn't bad for the CPU. I just didn't feel threatened always. But I'll continue to look at this and facd a back like Elliot to see. User, I struggled. I think a lot of it was me as I wasn't patiently waiting for my blocks or I was hitting the wrong holes. Not too sure yet.
The games were fun, all different outcomes. The Bengals game made me wanna throw my controller lol. But it was mostly just me and really shaking a few months of rust off and I got a hang of it quickly. More importantly, I started calling my own plays instead of using suggestions, I audible, and I used all the tools I had at my disposal.
I absolutely love how aggressive the CPU gets! They will go for it on 4th and 4th, 4th and inches, etc. They may be at midfield or 10 yard line, they don't care. Heck, I even had them fake a punt and almost get it.
My biggest and probably only complaint is the CPU QB completion %. I haven't seen a single throw that was an incompletion because it was inaccurate. Which I know playing AM, it comes with it. My biggest gripe was it felt like my defense always played soft In coverage. I would call man to man, zone, different formations, bring pressure, could press them, Shade them underneath, have them Shade the outside and inside etc they never played super tight which I think may be a game related thing. It just seemed to lead to inflated QB %'s. Rodgers finished at 88% Herbert was 85% and Wilson 80%. Wilson and Rodgers I can't complain a ton as their elite and have done it before, but Herbert I would've liked to see some misfires and be down a bit In the 70's. Not a game breaker though. Besides that, gameplay has been very fun so far and I'm loving it! I'll probably end up starting my CFM tonight.
Side note; Do you plug in all the settings such as penalties, sliders in main menu and import everything or no?
Thank you Matt!
