Last year there were 24 WR's with over 1000 yards, 5 of them had over 100 receptions. Most of the stats aren't that bad compared to the real NFL the problem mainly exists with QB's yards/TD's/Int's.

I understand what point you are trying to make, but look at the YPA for QB and the amount of carries the RBs get. It's horrible and they should have fixed this years ago. What the heck is a game you are trying to play like a sim that doesn't have sim stats? This type of stuff is just trying to push us to MUT, which seems to be one of the only options for a game mode that seems complete. Sad that I wont touch it past the first few pack openings, I'm not going to waste my money and play nothing but online games. They suckered me in with FIFA in it's first year of UT and I was #1 on the leader boards, since then I've hardly touched it.

Nagging injuries to a qb, lack of run game, bad defense forcing a qb to play from behind can all cause passing numbers to drop from one year to the next. So I'm not one to say manning' s numbers are off or Stafford threw too many picks, etc. I'd personally would just like the numbers to reflect my game settings. If my games are set to 6 min quarters, that would result in a different number of plays per game than if I used 8 minute quarters. If the SIM stats would adjust accordingly Id be ok with that. That way, all you have to do is change quarter length until you get numbers you like or reflect what you get in your played games.

Been like for years...if I'm correct, when u super sim then it takes in account ratings and quarter length..however we all know of "late" super sim was messed up as if u super sim 15 min quarters there was wayyyyyy to many plays..

It's not just one players passing stats throwing it off. The league passing as a whole is broken.

In 2013 there were 9 passers with over 4,000 yards. 4 over 4500 yards. 2 over 5,000 yards.

In this sim test, there were 2 passers over 4,000 yards. NONE over 4500. I mean c'mon. This is a passing league now yet these stats look like they come from the 1980s. 7 passers in 2013 had a rating over 100 and NONE (aside from backups) in this sim?

I care deeply about sim stats because I'm an off-line franchise player. I record stats in excel after each season. This is a dealbreaker unless it's patched.

I think it's more concerning that a 4-3 de /3-4 outside linebacker like trent Cole can pick up 155 tackles with 12 tackles for a loss, all of them being sacks.

I'm just lost for words at that. That shouldn't be happening. At all.
That's just mind boggling.

I have to fully agree with u..if again a big if.. These stats hold true.. This will hurt my offline experience..I do not play online due to many factors..one big one..can't play whenever I need.. So offline is all I got.. The little hope I have is this.. It was a fluke.. Or can be patched..so far though my hope slowly slips away..what I don't know is this..when u sim it's a program which I would assume is much easier to fix and control..but I don't know programming..CM if ur reading if u could give u opinion on this due to ur background/job

Terrible simulated stats.

In M25, the only way I could affect the QB sim stats was to "tighten the range" of QB AWR and ACC to affect QB stat lines...

High AWR / ACC = More TDs than Ints (with higher total yards / comp % / less sacks taken, etc))

Low AWR / ACC = Less TDs than Ints

Since "nothing really changes" in the Madden Universe, I'd guess that's a great place to start AGAIN this year...

Out of the box, starters AWR will range from the 60's to the high 90's...

I recall pulling them more into a 80 to 95 range and then running season tests to adjust ACC...

Run a season, find a "baseline" with a QB that has "average" stats and then use his AWR and ACC to calibrate who should be statistically above or below...

Secondly:

My experience re: Skyboxer's improved QB stats after 2nd and 3rd seasons have to do with the default schemes and gameplans implemented by CPU HCs...

The first year, the game doesn't seem to calibrate those to individual team rosters as well as it does after year one...

That's ALSO been the case for the last two iterations...

In short:

There MAY be a "ballpark" workaround in here, but it's becoming more of a drag to have to figure out how to do their work for them year after year...

I never expect much from Madden but those TD's? Yikes. That's just awful. I can live with most of the other stats but that's a real immersion killer. Very disappointing.
