Too many CPU sacks in Madden? I disagree. Here's why.

[TheRealHST]

So far, one of the many impressions that I've am reading regarding Madden 15, is that CPU is sacking the users too frequently.

Users are saying that they don't have enough time but if you actually watch real NFL QBs dropback, then you will see most QBs only have 4 to 5 seconds to get rid of ball.

Madden 15 is teaching us that we have to start reading defenses more efficiently. We have to process this information quickly and know where we want to go with the ball realtime.

If you can, count the number of seconds these QBs have to get their throws off in the vids below:

Also if you notice , most real defensive lines get decent pressure.

1 1000 , 2 1000, 3, 1000....

I agree, that is why Madden should be played on a slower game speed if they want more time.

Not to mention most probably don't pay attention to what their line is capable of.

If your OL is terrible at pass protection then you may want to fix that.
The more Madden gets to a better simulation the more complaints we'll see.

I agree there has always needed to be more pressure. What worries me is if the CPU awareness is on point to avoid taking an over abundance of sacks.

I don't have a problem with sacks because I run a lot.

I will say this, the defense has me throwing the ball away a lot on drop backs.lol

The more I think about it the more I love it.

This is an awesome quote Sky...so much so I had to use it in my sig..

What does worry me though (as you pointed out)...is that once the masses get a hold of the game,that the complaints will get EA's attention enough for a "dumbing down" patch.

I've read enough of the impressions thread (from folks I trust here) to know that I'll enjoy the game,but I can't lie....I'm a bit worried about when the game releases Tues.

I hope like hell I'm wrong....so we'll see.

A,big problem for years is users never use a RB or TE to help block. I am glad the game is stepping up and becoming more realistic. Manning, in real life, they say gets the ball out of his hand on average of 2.7 seconds.

Also, I can't help but wonder how the people "getting sacked too much" are handling their dropbacks. If they are user dropbacks 12+ yards every time that ain't helping either. I use auto dropback and step up in the pocket when the rush comes, feels pretty organic and realistic to me this year.
