This summarizes my frustration with Madden perfectly. I've been waiting for Madden to progress and become a compelling game of football for literally over a decade. I've played very little since 2005 but have frequently visited these boards for years to determine if this would will finally be the year. I liked all the things coming out of Rex's mouth leading up to the release this year and was so pleasantly surprised that they had finally moved the needle enough that I was getting the experience I had been waiting for. And now I'm just left feeling like the rug was pulled out from under me.

Yeah, Ehh, I don't know what to tell you.

Prior to this patch on AP, I was having both QB's (CPU and me) having completion percentages in the 60's with off target and out of bounds passes.

I haven't been able to play post patch, and I am hoping the patch didn't make other areas of the game out of whack.

I must say I was rather disappointed to not see QB accuracy in patch notes. I went from excitement to disappointment real quick. This is a game in which ratings should matter..

Same here. I haven't seen any issues with accuracy either pre or post patch on my slider setup (noting that I exclusively use the default preseason roster for franchise).

I am glad to hear that some aren't having an issue. I tried your set a few weeks back and the CPU scored one TD in four games against my average defense. Unfortunately that set isn't for me unless using preseason rosters is some magical difference maker.

I have definitely seen bad QB play from both me and the CPU on default AP. I was doing my Browns CFM last night and I had Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing inaccurate passes during games and weekly training. And I played a game against the Colts with Luck hurt. Meaning Christian Ponder their backup was getting the start. He went 26/43 (exactly 60% on his completions) for 324 yards, 1 TD and FIVE picks. And I don't have a world beating defense. My best players are Jamie Collins (91), Christian Kirksey (81), and Duron Harman (80). And Ryan Fitzpatrick same game went 22/32 (68%) for 339 yards, 3 TDs and 2 picks. And going through the other games I did Play The Moments for the completion percentages were around 60%.

26 completions for 324 yards ? Personnally, for a backup (66 OVR), I don't really think is realistic. For a QB like Brady, Big Ben, maybe

Tolzien, against the Steelers last week, finished the game with 22/36, 205 yds. And, it was against the Steelers defense..

And like some people said, how many miss throws did you see ?

Oh, yeah, Matt Flynn says hello:

From 2012: That’s what the Packers did today against the Lions, as Rodgers got the day off and Matt Flynn led the way with an absolutely stunning game, completing 31 of 44 passes for 480 yards and six touchdowns.

I see 3 or 4 or more from each side during a game. I don't have a problem with that at all.
