Competitive/MUT play is such a double-edged sword. Their disdain for realistic uncontrollable errors holds the game back in terms of portraying the true chaotic nature of football, and influences tuning to that affect, but their relentless search for shortcuts and exploits does force the gameplay team to stay perpetually engaged in refining the gameplay mechanisms year round as well as providing a plan of attack for the next version.

I 100% agree on the AI playcalling, and 30 feet in the air deflections.

i will say in our 32 man league, just in my own games since patch ( we have qb acc at 25) i have seen my qb at least 4 times in about 6 games, overthrow a wr and it literally goes right to the defender,like as if he was actually throwing to him the entire time.

I didn't intend to emphasize a connection between errant throws and picks, though that's what came across. I'm more interested in seeing 5-7% more of my passes go off target in some form or another than anything else. My picks are overwhelmingly on balls thrown into coverage or under duress.

I'm a bit skeptical of EA's ability to improve QB play by adding more errant throws without somehow throwing off some other element of game play, mostly due to the game's past performance, but if they could do that, I'd be thrilled.

Clint mentioned on Twitter that the Ints are tuned this way, as to penalize the user for throwing into coverage.
If you were to drop the int slider down to 35 to 30 range, you'll see more deflections w/o the defenders have such sticky hands.

This is why we must lower the INT slider down, as I mentioned in the previous post.
Think of the Int slider as a Global Catching slider for the defense.
I'm doing some serious labbing all weekend. I will have my AP and Pro set finished by tonight.

I'm loving default All Pro in CFM. Like 50 everything default. I've lost two in a row against the CPU. 8 min quarters no run off.

It's not because the CPU was boosted. Just out played me.

Can't believe it actually. It's the best slider set to me

Charter--what do you do with auto subs within CFM?

THIS.

The INT "penalty" might be a little OP, but 90% of the picks thrown, are shown by replay to be the result of a bad read or a bad read under pressure...

I prefer it this way, because otherwise I'm going to play mistake free and win more games than I should...

It ain't sexy to throw the checkdown, but THAT'S football...
