High amount of sacks

Am I the only one who is experiencing this? I haven't seen much talk about it. Seems like since the latest title update it has been a problem of mine. I've been averaging 7 sacks per game, no matter what I put the pass blocking to for the CPU. It's driving me insane! Granted I user DE, but I had a CPU controlled DE have 24 sacks on the year and was 2nd in the Heisman running. My other DE I control was 1st on the list with 27.5 sacks. I wasn't having this issue until the update.

It's literally my only complaint gameplay wise right now. That and the hidden punt meter deep in your own territory, but that is experienced by everyone.

I definitely get too many sacks, but mine tend to be coverage sacks. @ Michigan we led the nation with 78 sacks (4.9 per game)…. I didn’t know if it was because of the patch, or because of Michigan’s greater talent as I didn’t get too many @ Louisville before the patch. With Louisville I was 31st in the nation with 36 sacks (2.5 per game).

It’s crazy to get twice as many sacks when comparing back to back seasons, but I couldn’t tell you if it’s because of the talent disparity, or because of the patch since they both changed between seasons.

I will say this, though. Your individual sack numbers seem crazy to me. Maybe it’s cuz I rotate my players with auto subs and RUSHDL depth charts, but even with 78 team sacks, my 2 sack leaders only had 14.5 and 10.5 compared with your multiple 24+ sack guys.

Re: High amount of sacks

I'm using coachGunn's cpu vs cpu slider set which boosts pass blocking. Seems to be working for me.

I am 100% convinced the latest patch caused it to get worse.

I do CPU vs CPU as well. I set pass blocking and the speed threshold to zero (also have tackling and several other sliders at zero) and that has helped tremendously. I have also been tinkering with some of the coaching settings, like AI Adaptation and Aggressiveness.

It seems what I'm seeing now is QBs are forced to make quicker decisions with lower PB and the Threshold and Tackling sliders keep them from getting sucked in to animations.

Granted, there are still some super weird behaviors by the QB, but my settings have at least tampered them. I've had a few games with no sacks, or a really good, aggressive defense will have 4-5 and the other team will have zero or 1.

Re: High amount of sacks

Before the patch I had a guy get 19.5 sacks, but the next season he only had 7 and graduated. The next season (played part pre and post patch), have a guy 22 sacks.

I think its mostly tied to talent disparity.

High amount of sacks

I’d have to agree. I’ve had [emoji6] to [emoji[emoji6]] sacks against crappy teams, and barely any pressure against good teams.

I sacked Georgia and Miami combined 18 times in 2 games, so it's definitely not the same in my experience. I feel like some of the traits of D linemen are just way to over the top right now. It felt so much better out of the box when the game dropped.

What’s your theory behind these?

Pass blocking to zero in theory would raise sacks for the opposing team. Is that a User or CPU slider?

What’s your thinking behind 0 speed threshold?
