Brady is 37. As for him regressing in real life it's hard to say, he had a down year but he also lost all 5 of his top targets from the year before. Drew Brees had one of the best seasons of his career last year, not sure how he has regressed.

The issue of low TD's and low passing yards with QB's was present last year as well. So I don't think the new confidence thing is causing this.

The poor TD-INT ratio was a problem with the sim engine last year too.

To me the sim results are as bad as last year.

I'm not as confident this will get patched if they didn't even try to fix it over a whole dev cycle.

I think for the the sim engine ways has and always will be a back burner issue.

Is there a way to up every QB awareness? Thp? Etc.. Does each QB have a confidence built into them, which we can adjust in roster editing?

Mind you, this is at the start of Season 3 of my CFM: - The Bears have Tannehill, Cutler, and Roethlisberger all on their team....and their starting QB is a rookie who's a 78 OVR (The other 3 QBs are 73, 70, and 63, respectively). - Andrew Luck is NOT on the Colts. Kirk Cousins is their starter (77 OVR) - Christian Ponder (73 OVR) is the Cowboys starter... - Matt Ryan is NOT on the Falcons. Ryan Mallet is their starter...73 OVR - Luck is on the Jaguars....ahead of Bortles (Luck is 83 OVR - awr and acc down) - Rodgers is a beast, Stafford and Kaepernick are in the 94 range. Every other QB is very average. - None of the rookie QB's drafted this year have progressed...

The fact that issues like these even make it to release is pathetic QA. It's almost like they aren't testing or listening to feedback at all. I don't recall them ever having patched/fixed a sim stat issue in the past, so I'm not holding my breath.

They definitely did. I remember vividly one year where pretty much every RB averaged 2 YPC and nobody would hit 1000 yards, so they patched it and suddenly every RB averaged 7-9 YPC and rushed for 1500+ yards lol. One of the most frustrating years ever for me with Madden.

Well Josh Looman did in fact try to fix sim stats 3 years ago I believe but it still wasn't perfect, but it was better. He was fixing the sacks and tackles stat problem.

I'm not even sure if Looman is still with EA.

Another no buy on an EA Sports game... sucks no football and probably no hockey again this year.
