ive seen numerous blown coverages in zones. CPU controlled player zone has him set to an area but ball thrown there, and no one around..... but yeah man is about worthless unless trying to stop a run, or screen.

The tackle slider doing gameplay is the biggest culprit as to why you don't see QB's avoiding the rush very much That slider is somehow tied into the ball carrier and Qb elusiveness rating doing gameplay Playing with high tackle slider increases the radius of the tackle range......reducing the tackle slider decreases the radius and in return you'll see QB's avoid the rush much better but the downside is the RB's and WR's will sometimes break tackles I personally live with the consequences because Madden is a flawed game and rather have QB's at least being able to avoid a rush occasional as opposed to getting sacked 100% of the time... EA needs to figure out how their ratings also tie into the sliders and doubt they really spend the man time dissecting it or even observing it

I feel like tacking has been tuned to be so ridiculously forgiving as a hand holding mechanism for User play style. A large percentage of Users run full speed at the ball carrier at crappy angles and hit stick(garbage mechanic) every play. Maybe part of sim style can be to reduce that crazy radius and punish players who play so recklessly.

This is exactly what I am expecting from simulation mode. I want the real elements of football, which yes happen to sometimes be out of a coaches control, to affect things and force the user to adjust.

Per Clint Oldenburgs comments on Twitter there will definitely not be any botched snaps this year and probably ever.

That's sad. I guess more people rather not have it so they'll never add it.

Edit::

See he said "how would you like to lose 100k because of that?"

Again, that's competition not simulation mode so why would it matter? It seems like these 3 modes will just be tuning and sliders which should still be a nice change but not the full on simulation like we were wanting.

He also said he still doesn't get how fumbled snaps would be fun. But I definitely think, like you said, the different modes will just be tuning and sliders. I'd also doubt that even moving forward that there are very few, if any, setting specific gameplay implementations but that's impossible to say because there might have been some this year. More ratings driven gameplay should definitely be an improvement as long as it's tuned properly but I'm also hoping for more options for things like making kicking tougher and turning tackle battles off.
