GAMEPLAY

Addressed issue where sometimes defensive linemen would freeze for the remainder of the play after being knocked to the ground
Addressed issue where the defense would not adjust alignment if the CPU controlled offensive team enacted a concept audible
Updated Individual Coverage adjustments to not only affect the pre-snap shading but also the post play leverage technique
Addressed issue where adjusting the ZONE shading would have an effect on the defenders drop location instead of just the leverage technique
Addressed issue where cancelling a PA Fake would allow for a 1-step drop on certain plays
Addressed issue where the game clock would be restarted of a declined penalty after an incomplete pass
Addressed issue where safeties in Cover 4 Deep assignments were reacting to run too quickly

Addressed issue where the user could not sort player while in the Fantasy draft board
Removed Kick Return as a scoutable trait (note: changes won�t be reflected until after your current season is finished)
CFM Trade tuning
Addressed issue in CFM H2H where uniforms would change back to default home/away even after changing them in the team select screen

Ill take that over attributes rapidly declining

# 184 jdenyer @ 09/30/15 06:49 PM

Dang ... things arent looking good for LT's then

Next question is .... even if these LT's are giving up a big number of sacks, are their attirbutes taking massive hits or not?

It's hit and miss. Sometimes they won't drop, sometimes they'll drop almost 20 points. Like in that one I just simmed Robinson didn't lose anything on PBK. But in another one he actually gave up less sacks and was down in the 50's.

# 186 tubaSimulator @ 09/30/15 06:51 PM

I can live with a high "Sacks allowed" number as long as it's not affecting ratings in a horrible way, but I wonder... If all the O-lines in the NFL are giving up huge 'sacks allowed' numbers, does that mean that guys like Von Miller have like 90 sacks a season??

Is this just for LT's on CPU controlled teams or on human controlled teams as well, and is it only when you sim games?

Actually, if you just put this in the search bar it's visible...

I'm STILL wondering who's running these tests in NEW as opposed to existing CCM?

These are much better numbers and are from a NEW CCM...

Is that the key?

Not really. The highest guy in the one I just simmed was Campbell of the Cards and he had 14. The problem is that it seems like 90-95% of the teams sacks get pinned on the LT. In my latest sim the Chiefs gave up 34 sacks and 22 of them were by Stephenson the LT. Conversely the LG Grubbs gave up 0.

Every sim I've done has been a fresh start.

# 191 bcruise @ 09/30/15 06:57 PM

We should just name this LT sack testing the "Michael Oher test". He seems to show up high on this list every time.

I did another midseason sim (this time with CAR) to check attribute drops. Oher had another predictably bad 8 games, 12 sacks allowed. But he didn't lose any permanent ratings. The only one on the team that did was Jonathan Stewart, dropping a point in various categories as the weeks went on.

One note on the QB's...while I did say they aren't dropping AWR (at least young ones), they can still have others take a hit mid-season. One sim I did with Romo dropped him 4 DAC points after a 3 INT day.

Yea I just start one over again and it seems to be giving me the same number range as what i posted earlier. The only thing i notice is they are posting screen shots from an xbox and i am on a PS4

For me it is only when I sim games. When I am actively playing the qb I am going to throw the ball before getting sacked.

Odd that they'd be this different from console to console...

But over the years, I learned that's anything is possible with this code pile...

Good point to what I realize was a dumb question

But if you sim games, is this a problem with your own LT as well as the LT's on other teams?

Right now my Titans are 84 overall..... I just don't understand how you can jump that much overall in less than a season while I am going undefeated and not getting big jumps like that.

On paper they don't look much. But all players are 80+ confidence and the impact on the field is HUGE. Just look at your record.

Play the same game in play now and you will see how much harder the game actually is when you don't have the unfair confidence bonus.

Shrug, its been pretty much same kind of records going all the way back to Madden 91. I win with my style of play. Some people might call it loopholes or whatever, but I stack my team for the run and then I run it down everyone's throats. Titans/Oilers have generally been good teams for it as well since they have had good backs and good o-line for a long time.
This year's Titans, Andrews is a beast. Sankey isn't worth playing.

To get back on topic..

Resign is still broke for sure. Just offered D. Bass 3mil with 500k signing bonus that he turned down. He is ovr 68 and asking for 690k total.

# 199 booker21 @ 09/30/15 07:18 PM

Anyone else is running way to easy now after patch? I'm avg 7 ypc. Before I was on 4.5 more or less

Dang it.

I think they have an editing error, maybe they accidentally cut it out, but I missed:

- Addressed issue where nearly every time defensive backs would get raped by an OP "Aggressive Catch" requiring no skill by the User other than holding down Triangle.
